On July 2, CoinDesk reported that FBI Director Kash Patel failed to timely disclose his purchase of $100,000 to $250,000 in Strategy (MSTR) stock made on November 21, 2025, only reporting it to the government ethics office on May 26, 2026, over six months late. Patel explained that the omission was unintentional due to an unspecified 'communication error.' The STOCK Act requires senior officials in the executive branch to disclose personal stock trades over $1,000 within 45 days of the transaction. Dylan Hedtler-Gaudette, director of a government oversight organization, stated that Patel 'violated the law.' The Department of Justice did not penalize Patel, and his late disclosure report has been revised and approved. Since Patel's purchase, the price of Strategy stock has dropped by about half.

On July 2, strategists at State Street Global Advisors noted in a report that gold prices could reach $5,000 per ounce by early 2027, as the gold bull market cycle remains persistent. They believe that with rising U.S. government debt, gold's position as a monetary hedge is likely to be supported, while actual demand for gold remains strong. The global gold fund holdings (which account for a portion of global mutual fund and exchange-traded fund assets) are currently still below State Street's target level of 3% to 10% for most portfolios. Additionally, they stated that the Federal Reserve's hawkish shift should not alter the structural trend of gold in the post-pandemic era. State Street expects that in the next six to nine months, the price of gold bullion will rise to between $4,750 and $5,500 per ounce. (Jin Shi)

On July 2, Nomura stated in a recent in-depth semiconductor report that cloud providers will still find it difficult to halt expansion by 2027. The iteration of AI models, growing inference demand, expanded data center construction plans, and tight supply of storage and advanced packaging will compel cloud providers to continue securing resources for chips, packaging, substrates, storage, and servers. Nomura's reasoning is that AI capital expenditure is not a short-term choice for a single company, but rather a competitive pressure among large cloud platforms. As long as companies like Microsoft, Google, Amazon, and Meta are competing for AI models, enterprise customers, and inference traffic, they will find it hard to slow down infrastructure development voluntarily. Even with rising costs, stopping could mean losing competitive positioning on the platform. The report specifically mentions that while TSMC is expanding its CoWoS advanced packaging capacity, smaller substrate suppliers may become new bottlenecks. In other words, bottlenecks exist not only in GPUs but also in advanced packaging, ABF/substrates, HBM, server assembly, and power infrastructure. Consequently, Nomura is optimistic about supply chain companies such as TSMC, ASE, Aspeed, MediaTek, GlobalWafers, KYEC, Elite Material, and Zhen Ding. This assessment contrasts with concerns over 'AI overheating': the real issue is not the disappearance of demand, but rather that the supply chain is still insufficient; as long as bottlenecks exist, cloud providers will continue to pay for scarce capacity.

On July 2, CNBC reported that U.S. President Trump responded to his 2025 financial disclosure, stating that his personal assets are managed by large external institutions, and he does not communicate with fund managers or participate in any investment decisions. He noted that his personal wealth growth is primarily due to the rise in the stock market. Previously disclosed documents indicated that Trump's reported income for 2025 is at least $2.24 billion, a significant increase from 2024, with approximately $1.2 billion coming from cryptocurrency-related businesses, including income from World Liberty Financial and TRUMP Meme (CIC Digital). In response, Trump stated that his funds are managed by professional institutions, and he is not aware of specific investment targets and does not interfere with investment decisions.

On July 1, Michael Kramer, founder of Mott Capital Management, stated that despite the S&P 500 index continuing to rise, there is a noticeable internal market divergence, particularly with accumulating risks in the technology sector. A prominent feature of the current market is the severe disparity in individual stock performances. For instance, Meta's stock price is near its 52-week low, while Micron Technology and AMD have seen significant increases. This 'rise for some, fall for others' disparity indicates that the gains of a few stocks are masking the overall volatility of the index, making the market appear more stable than it actually is. The S&P 500 constituent stock disparity index is currently at a high level, only surpassed historically during the pandemic crash in March 2020 and the 'tariff shock' in April 2025. Volatility indicators are showing similar signals. The Cboe Volatility Index (VIX) is currently around 17, which is relatively moderate; however, the VIXEQ, which measures individual stock volatility, is close to 46, marking a historical high. The gap between the two has widened to the most significant level since 2015, indicating that market risks have not disappeared but have shifted from the index level to the individual stock level. Meanwhile, the three-month implied correlation index is below 10, showing weak inter-stock correlation, suggesting that in the event of a sudden incident, the market could quickly reprice risks. Kramer believes that sectors with the highest implied volatility will be the most affected, with the semiconductor industry being particularly noteworthy. Since the end of March 2026, both Micron and AMD's stock prices have more than doubled, driven by continuously rising expectations for AI-related spending and rapid valuation expansion, while options trading activity remains at high market levels. The Cboe Semiconductor ETF volatility index is approximately twice that of the Russell 2000 index and the Nasdaq 100 index, and more than three times that of the S&P 500 index, indicating that the risks in this sector are significantly higher than the broader market.
