Abstract

U.S. stocks surged to record highs driven by strong earnings and easing Middle East tensions. The Dow Jones and S&P 500 both hit closing records, with the Nasdaq jumping 2.59%. The Philadelphia Semiconductor Index soared 6.55%, marking four straight days of gains, fueled by a broad AI rally spanning chips, software, and infrastructure. SanDisk and Intel surged over 10%, while Micron's market cap returned to the $1 trillion level. Geopolitical optimism weighed on oil, with WTI crude falling over 5%. Reports indicated the U.S., Iran, and Oman are nearing a temporary deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, alleviating supply disruption fears and lowering September Fed rate hike probabilities. Key stock movers included Palantir, up 29.45% on explosive revenue growth; Caterpillar, hitting a record high on raised guidance linked to data center demand; and AMD, rising 7% despite a post-earnings dip. Nvidia gained 2.56% after announcing new open-source models and securing an exclusive AI partnership with SpaceX. However, Oracle faces heightened credit risk due to heavy AI-related borrowing. Markets now focus on upcoming earnings from Uber and Eli Lilly, and a major SpaceX share lockup expiry on August 6th.

U.S. stocks soared across the board last night, driven by robust corporate earnings and geopolitical optimism. The Dow Jones Industrial Average surged 1.71%, breaking above 54,000 points for the first time and hitting a record closing high. The S&P 500 index rose 1.79%, also setting a new record. The Nasdaq Composite jumped 2.59%, led by the tech sector. Market sentiment swiftly shifted from recent volatility to a chase for gains, rallying from a near one-month low to new highs in just a few trading sessions.

Strait of Hormuz Agreement Nears Finalization, Oil Prices Fall for 3rd Straight Day

The most watched macroeconomic event is signs of easing tensions in the Strait of Hormuz. According to Axios, the U.S., Iran, and Oman are close to reaching an interim agreement, aiming for a formal announcement on Wednesday local time. The agreement aims to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, restore the U.S.-Iran ceasefire, and create conditions for subsequent nuclear talks. Influenced by this geopolitical positive development, concerns about energy supply disruptions eased, and international oil prices plunged sharply. WTI crude fell 5.58% yesterday, down 13.27% in August, currently fluctuating around $73.5; Brent crude broke below $80, hitting a low of $77.7, down about 12% this month.

The arrangement is tentatively set for 60 days and may be extended in the future. According to the currently discussed plan, all inbound vessels will use the northern shipping lane near the Iranian coast, and outbound vessels will use the southern lane near the Omani coast, coordinated jointly by Oman and Iran.

The agreement also includes a crucial component: parties plan to complete mine-clearing operations in the central channel of the Strait of Hormuz within 30 days. According to Bloomberg, Iran's stance has softened, now for the first time considering allowing European countries to participate in mine-clearing, in exchange for trust from shipping companies and insurers. No passage fees or related charges will be levied during the 60-day interim arrangement. In the long term, Oman proposes referencing the Strait of Malacca model, establishing a "voluntary fund" jointly financed by Gulf states and European member states of the International Maritime Organization (IMO) for channel maintenance, search and rescue, and security. Besides Oman, Qatar, Pakistan, and Saudi Arabia have also participated in mediation.

Despite rapid progress, the agreement still faces multiple uncertainties. Hardliners within Iran's Revolutionary Guards still have disagreements over foreign participation in mine-clearing and channel control rights, and there are precedents of agreements collapsing leading to escalated military conflict.

Falling Oil Prices Ease Inflation Concerns, September Rate Hike Probability Declines

The sharp drop in oil prices significantly eased inflation concerns. The 10-year U.S. Treasury yield fell about 6 basis points to near 4.6%, providing additional support for risk assets. Institutions like Wells Fargo noted that lower oil prices help moderate energy price pressures, but overall price stickiness persists, and inflation is unlikely to normalize overnight.

The U.S. dollar weakened slightly, and the yen's rally stalled. Regarding interest rates and institutional views, the CME FedWatch Tool shows that the probability of a 25 basis point rate hike in September is about 57.1%, down sharply from 67.2% the previous day, while the probability of holding steady is 42.9%. The market is closely watching this Friday's non-farm payrolls report. Strong data could reinforce rate hike expectations, while weak data could increase room for inaction. Institutions like JPMorgan believe that in a context where oil prices dominate Treasury movements, employment data will become a key short-term pricing node.

AI Trading Makes a Comeback, Funds Believe in the 'Computing Power-Application-Infrastructure' Loop Again

The strongest sector in U.S. stocks last night was still AI. Unlike previous rallies solely reliant on chip stocks, this AI market move is more comprehensive: Palantir used strong earnings to prove AI applications can drive revenue growth; semiconductor, memory, and optical communication sectors reflect rising computing power demand; Caterpillar shows data center construction demand is trickling down to traditional industrial equipment.

The Philadelphia Semiconductor Index surged 6.55%, rising for the fourth consecutive day, with 30 component stocks broadly higher. Memory chips, optical communication, AI software, data center infrastructure, and industrial equipment sectors performed notably well. The Nasdaq 100 index rose about 3.3% in a single day, its largest single-day gain since May 2025.

Major tech stocks were also generally stronger. Nvidia rose over 2%, Apple, Microsoft, and Tesla rose over 1%, Google rose 1.11%, but Amazon fell over 2%. Over the past four trading days, the "Magnificent Seven" tech giants have collectively risen nearly 10%, indicating funds are flowing back into large-cap growth stocks.

Peter Callahan, Goldman Sachs' chief tech trader, believes this rally stems from four factors: the market has already undergone a round of de-risking earlier, leaving cleaner positioning; technicals have improved; the Nasdaq 100 valuation is still at about a 10% discount to its five-year average; the earnings season has improved investor confidence in profits.

However, Goldman's trading desk also cautioned that market trading volume is about 7% below the 5-day average, indicating not exceptionally high activity. This means that while the index rally is strong, not all funds have fully returned yet. Future moves still depend on whether earnings and macro data can continue to support the uptrend.

Specific Company Actions and Stock Price Movements:

Palantir closed up 29.45%, strongly breaking above its 200-day moving average: The company's Q2 revenue soared 93% year-over-year to $1.935 billion, with U.S. commercial revenue surging 149%. CEO Alex Karp called this a "supernatural" quarter and stated that demand for AI sovereignty is being unleashed. Related AI software stocks also rose, Datadog and Shopify rose over 5%, ServiceNow and Applovin rose over 3%, Adobe and Salesforce rose over 2%.
Caterpillar surged over 5%, hitting a record high: This heavy equipment giant's Q2 sales broke the $20 billion mark for the first time (up 24% year-over-year) and it comprehensively raised its full-year guidance. Wells Fargo strategist Ohsung Kwon pointed out that Caterpillar is "the most traditional stock close to the AI concept," and the spillover benefits from data center construction have just begun. The industrial sector has performed strongly this year, rising about 20%.
SpaceX closed up 9.43%, after-hours fell nearly 9% due to high capex concerns: Yesterday, Musk confirmed AI services will exclusively adopt Nvidia architecture and set sights on the U.S. telecom market. Space-related stocks rose broadly, Rocket Lab rose nearly 6% (won a $397 million contract from the U.S. Space Force), AST SpaceMobile rose nearly 11%. The after-hours Q2 earnings report showed revenue of $7.8 billion, up 92% year-over-year, EBITDA surged, but AI-related capital expenditures reached $15.8 billion, expected to remain high in subsequent quarters.
AMD closed up 7%, after-hours fell nearly 8%: CEO Lisa Su expects data center sales to double by 2027 and announced collaborations with Anthropic and others. Semiconductor sector surged, ARM surged 17.36%, Marvell Technology rose nearly 13%, Intel rose nearly 11%, Qualcomm rose 7.23%, Broadcom rose nearly 7%, TSMC rose over 2%. After-hours Q2 earnings showed revenue of $11.54 billion, up 50% year-over-year, beating expectations, but Q3 revenue guidance didn't completely "wow" the market.
Nvidia closed up 2.56%: Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang announced the official open-source commercial release of Alpamayo 2 Super, Nvidia's open-source inference model for autonomous driving, aiming to advance applications like robotaxis, robots, and logistics vehicles. Concurrently, SpaceX stated future AI services will be "exclusively" based on Nvidia systems and plans to deploy Nvidia Vera Rubin NVL72 rack-scale systems on the ground and in space.
Micron Technology closed up 7.62%, market cap returned to the $1 trillion club: Bank of America reiterated a Buy rating and a $1,550 target price, viewing the recent pullback as an "excellent buying opportunity," and expects memory chip prices to normalize in 2027-2028. Memory sector rose across the board, SanDisk rose 10.84% (jointly released the first standard specification for High Bandwidth Flash HBF with SK Hynix), Rambus rose over 9%, SK Hynix rose over 8%, Western Digital rose over 4%.
Intel closed up 10.84%: Media reports indicated Intel's EMIB-T advanced packaging technology has made progress, with packaging yields nearing 90% and costs about 50% lower than TSMC's CoWoS solution. Intel expects to offer this packaging service at scale by 2027, while continuing to advance construction of its large Ohio wafer fab campus, targeting full operation by 2031.
Oracle closed up 2.74%: However, its stock price has been halved since June, its five-year credit default swap spread has surged to a historical high exceeding the peak of the 2008 financial crisis. Due to aggressive borrowing to fund AI data center construction, its current debt stands at $129.5 billion. S&P Global has downgraded its credit rating to BBB-, just one notch above "junk" grade. Moody's warned its leverage ratio may approach 5x, and the market is deeply concerned about the mismatch risk between its 15-year long-term leases and short-term AI contracts.
Bitdeer surged 23% intraday before closing up 0.09%: Bitdeer signed a 16-year data center hosting and services agreement with Norwegian cloud startup Volta Infra for deploying Nvidia GPUs and serving leading AI labs. Concurrently, Anthropic was reported to have reached a $100 billion, six-year computing power agreement with Volta.
Arista Networks (ANET) closed up 3.04%, after-hours surged 12.5%: Supported by AI networking demand, Q2 revenue slightly exceeded $3 billion, up 37.7% year-over-year, and the company raised its 2026 guidance for the third time, expecting full-year revenue of $12.6 billion, an annual growth rate of about 40%.
Apple rose nearly 2%: Apple has begun preparations for its September launch event, with U.S. retail employees able to apply for on-site work. The event is expected in the first half of September. Separately, Apple reportedly requested a judge to immediately ban OpenAI from using its trade secrets and demanded OpenAI return all confidential information.

Upcoming Focus:

August 5th Major Earnings: Circle, Uber, Eli Lilly, BeiGene, etc.

August 6th (Thursday)

SpaceX Lock-up Expiration: Up to 911.5 million restricted shares of SpaceX will be unlocked, with a potential value nearing $100 billion based on the latest stock price, representing the week's biggest liquidity pressure test.

On L1 Value Capture from Two Solana Proposals

The article, "Discussing L1 Value Capture Through Two Solana Proposals," by Max Resnick, explores how Layer 1 (L1) blockchain tokens derive their fundamental value, drawing parallels to traditional asset pricing theory. Resnick argues that L1 token value, like stock value, stems from claims on future income streams for holders, not merely from network activity or technological promise. This value is captured when fees are either burned (economically akin to a buyback) or distributed to stakers (akin to dividends). Inflationary staking rewards, by contrast, redistribute value among holders rather than creating it. The core challenge is the quality and defensibility of fee-based revenue. High-quality fees come from sustainable, recurring demand for the network's economic utility (e.g., long-term financial activity), not from transient speculation (e.g., meme coins, airdrops). The strength of a blockchain's network effects—liquidity, applications, users—can make its revenue more defensible and grant it greater pricing power than often assumed. The article proposes a foundational valuation framework for L1s, separating revenue (fees captured for token holders), costs, and total token supply. A key accounting principle is that inflationary rewards should not be counted as a cost unless the newly minted tokens are symmetrically counted as a value input; otherwise, it misrepresents profitability. Finally, Resnick discusses the economics of increasing protocol fees to boost revenue. Since revenue equals price times quantity, the net effect depends on demand elasticity. Research on Ethereum suggests transaction demand is somewhat elastic; a fee increase reduces volume. A uniform fee is a blunt instrument, as different transactions (e.g., small transfers vs. large settlements) have vastly different abilities to pay. The article suggests that transaction-value-based fees, potentially implemented via token programs, could be a more efficient way to capture value from high-willingness-to-pay activities. The discussion is framed around ongoing Solana proposals (SIMD-550, SIMD-553) but focuses on the universal principles of L1 value accrual.

Meme Coin with $60 Million Market Cap Plunges 65% in One Minute, FOMO Faces Renewed Scrutiny

A Solana-based meme token, $CATE, which had surged from a $20M+ to over $80M market cap in about a week, experienced a dramatic 65% crash within one minute. This flash crash has intensified scrutiny on the trading app 'fomo' and highlighted the speculative nature of the current meme coin market. The crash coincided with two events: the token's X account being suspended and the fomo app experiencing downtime, preventing users from trading. While the X suspension was straightforward, the fomo outage raised significant questions. $CATE's primary narrative driver was the open endorsement by Poorgoat, a top-ranked trader on fomo with over 200,000 followers, who had turned a ~$45,000 investment into over $2M at the peak. The token itself had no novel fundamentals, being a "cat sister" to Doge, a concept already existing on Ethereum without success. The crash, triggered by less than $1.5M in selling volume despite over 60,000 holder addresses, exposed a harsh reality: purely "organic" community-driven meme tokens (excluding past successes like $SPX) may now have a market cap ceiling around $17M, as exemplified by the long-term chart of $neet. This incident has fueled existing controversies surrounding fomo. Critics have grown skeptical of the app, alleging that rankings dominated by KOLs who receive lucrative token airdrops could be manipulated to create "pump-and-dump" schemes, luring in retail users before a rug pull. The timing of the crash during fomo's outage—preventing many of its users (who represent over 60% of $CATE holders) from reacting—was viewed as highly suspicious. Further controversy arose when another popular fomo trader publicly sold near the peak, and concerns were raised about the security of accessing private keys during the app's downtime. Fomo's official explanation of server overload due to surging user traffic was met with skepticism, given its substantial funding. The event serves as a stark reminder of the risks in meme coin speculation and the potential vulnerabilities of relying on a single trading platform during market volatility.

The Yen Carry Trade Is Back in Focus: Why Crypto Traders Should Watch Japan

The US Treasury has reportedly intervened alongside Japan to support the yen, marking the first coordinated effort since 2011. This move aims to stabilize the yen after its sharp decline, which can have broad implications for global markets. The yen's importance stems from the "yen carry trade," where investors borrow cheap yen to fund investments in higher-yielding assets, including cryptocurrencies. A rapid strengthening of the yen could pressure these leveraged positions, forcing investors to unwind them and potentially triggering volatility across risk assets like Bitcoin, as seen in a sharp crypto sell-off in August 2024. For crypto traders, the key risk is not the intervention itself, but whether it leads to significant yen appreciation and a broader unwind of carry trades, impacting global liquidity and crypto market volatility. Monitoring USD/JPY movements, crypto derivatives data, and broader macro indicators is crucial.

Arthur Hayes' 10,000-Word New Article: When Will the AI Wave Peak? Will the Bubble Burst? Why Am I Frantically Buying ETH?

Arthur Hayes' latest article explores the intersection of AI investment, credit markets, and cryptocurrency. He argues that the massive capital expenditure (CAPEX) in AI infrastructure resembles a real estate-driven credit bubble, akin to the 2008 financial crisis, rather than a tech growth story. Hayes predicts that the AI bubble's peak will arrive in 2027, triggered not by failing AI profits but by a slowdown in the growth rate of data center construction and capex, revealing systemic over-leverage. He explains that banks, incentivized by government policy and steep yield curves, will continue lending to AI projects despite rising risks, expecting eventual government bailouts. Hayes further speculates that the US government might directly intervene by creating a sovereign wealth fund to buy AI equities, injecting permanent liquidity into the system. For crypto investors, this misallocation of capital is bullish. Hayes believes Bitcoin will bottom as AI capex growth decelerates but credit continues to flow, setting the stage for a major rally fueled by the inevitable large-scale monetary stimulus. He sets a rough year-end 2026 target of $5,000 for Ethereum, citing its potential role as a settlement layer for tokenized real-world assets (RWA) as a key narrative driver. The eventual government response to the AI credit bubble, he concludes, will unleash a cryptocurrency bull market unlike any seen since 2021.

Goldman Sachs Details Korea Memory "8 Key Focus Points": Valuation, Long-Term Agreements, Inventory, CXMT Impact, Buybacks, etc.

Goldman Sachs maintains a "Buy" rating on Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix, stating their recent sharp share price corrections reflect excessive market pessimism unsupported by fundamentals. The report addresses eight key market concerns: 1. **HBM Pricing:** GS forecasts HBM blended average prices for Samsung and SK Hynix to nearly double by 2027 due to persistent tight supply and a need to re-establish price premiums over standard DRAM. 2. **Long-Term Agreements (LTAs):** LTA terms are shifting in favor of suppliers, featuring longer terms, higher coverage targets (60-70% of capacity), "floor-price" protections, and significant upfront customer deposits. 3. **Inventory:** While module maker inventory is elevated, this represents a small portion of the overall market. Supplier and end-customer inventories remain healthy at low levels. 4. **NAND Supply:** Fears of a NAND oversupply are overblown. Strong enterprise SSD demand is expected to offset consumer weakness, with the supply-demand gap widening through 2027. 5. **Shareholder Returns:** GS expects both companies' actual dividends to exceed current market consensus. Share buybacks would be well-received, especially for SK Hynix to counter ADR-related dilution. 6. **SK Hynix ADR Premium:** The ADR's ~30% premium over the local share is likely persistent due to conversion constraints but aids long-term valuation re-rating by improving global investor access. 7. **SK Hynix Q2 '26 Results:** The earnings miss was due to one-time factors like slower HBM4 mix transition. Q3 is expected to see a strong recovery with higher volumes and better pricing/mix. 8. **CXMT Impact:** The competitive threat from China's CXMT is limited to the domestic market due to its technology lag and different product mix, posing minimal risk to the global supply-demand balance. GS concludes the current low valuations (approx. 3.5x 2027 P/E) imply an unrealistic lack of profit sustainability.
