Introduzione

Weekend markets saw a clear return of risk appetite. Major indices rose broadly, with significant gains in tech and precious metals, while energy sectors fell sharply on the "end of war" narrative. On June 14, oil prices initially rose on reports Iran had not yet finalized a memorandum of understanding. Later, YNET reported Trump might immediately lift the maritime blockade on Iran and the Strait of Hormuz. At 21:30, Trump confirmed on Truth Terminal that a deal with Iran was done, authorizing an immediate end to the US blockade and toll-free opening of the Strait. Iran's deputy foreign minister simultaneously announced an immediate and permanent halt to military actions on multiple fronts. Oil prices had already fallen to weekend boundaries, pre-pricing the news. The S&P 500 subsequently touched 7530. Markets will likely remain in a waiting period until the formal peace deal signing on June 19. At the moment of the deal announcement, gold jumped from ~4,221 to a high of 4,337, and silver from ~67.85 to 70.83, before stabilizing at higher levels. Individual stocks and ETFs like NBIS, RKLB, and LITE performed strongly. NBIS, added to the Nasdaq index, saw a target price increase due to strong AI cloud growth. RKLB, also added to the index, benefited from positive SpaceX valuation sentiment. LITE received a $1,130 target from JPMorgan. SPCX rose quickly after Musk tweeted SpaceX could potentially reach ~$1 trillion in revenue by 2030. In summary, the market shock from the m...

Weekend market sentiment was almost entirely one-sided in favor of risk-on.

Major indices rallied across the board, with tech and precious metals surging; the energy sector was hit hard (CL −1.79%, Brent −1.23%, NATGAS −0.7%), the most direct footnote to the "end of war" narrative.

Crude Oil & US Stock Indices

On June 14th, 07:31, Fars News Agency cited a source close to the negotiation team stating: Iran has not yet made a final decision on the proposed Memorandum of Understanding (MOU). Oil prices immediately rose to 82.6.

On the same day at 19:51, YNET further reported: Trump might be willing to immediately lift the US maritime blockade on Iran and the Strait of Hormuz, rather than doing so gradually as per the current agreement.

At 21:30 in the evening, the decisive moment arrived. Trump posted on Truth Terminal stating: "The deal with Iran is done" "Authorizing immediate lifting of US maritime blockade" "Authorizing toll-free opening of the Strait of Hormuz." Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister simultaneously stated that multiple fronts (including Lebanon) would announce an immediate and permanent cessation of military operations that evening.

It is worth noting that by this time, crude oil prices had already fallen to TradeXYZ's weekend price boundary, the market having "pre-priced" this news.

The S&P 500 index subsequently touched $7,530.

Before the official signing of the peace agreement (on the 19th), the market will most likely still have to go through a waiting period.

Precious Metals

At the exact same moment the agreement news was announced at 21:30, gold jumped from around 4,221 directly to a high of 4,337, and silver surged from around 67.85 to a high of 70.83, subsequently stabilizing at high levels.

Individual Stocks / ETFs

Several individual stocks such as NBIS, RKLB, and LITE performed strongly over the weekend.

NBIS: Was included in the Nasdaq Index on June 12th; Compass Point raised its price target, citing strong growth in its AI cloud business—Q1 2026 revenue of $399 million, a 683.9% year-over-year increase.

RKLB: Also included in the Nasdaq Index on June 12th, buoyed by sentiment spillover from SpaceX's valuation.

LITE: JPMorgan gave a $1,130 price target in a report on June 11th.

SPCX also showed strength. Musk, in a weekend Twitter reply, stated, "I think SpaceX might achieve around $1 trillion in revenue by 2030." SPCX rose 0.56% on TradeXYZ within minutes.

Overall, the shock brought to the market by the three-month-plus war is beginning to unwind. The agreement will not be officially signed until June 19th, with Israel's moves being the biggest variable during this period.

Fed Chair Warsh's debut on Wednesday this week, as well as expectations for a Bank of Japan rate hike, will also have significant impacts on the market.

Only 153 Venture Capital Firms Invested in July: Is the Crypto VC Industry Experiencing a 'Mass Extinction'?

In July 2026, only 153 unique venture capital firms participated in disclosed crypto funding rounds, marking the lowest monthly count since November 2020. This figure represents an 87% decline from the peak of 1,177 firms in 2022. Overall, the first seven months of 2026 saw crypto projects raise approximately $11.78 billion across 481 rounds. This crypto VC contraction contrasts sharply with the broader venture capital landscape, where global VC investment reached a record $560.4 billion in H1 2026, heavily fueled by major AI company financings. This shift in capital allocation has drawn funds away from the crypto sector. Within crypto, funding is highly concentrated. Trading platforms, prediction markets, and payment sectors absorbed 53% of the total capital. While early-stage deals remain frequent, the largest sums flow to a few late-stage rounds and mergers & acquisitions, which surged to $7.23 billion in Q2 2026. The market is consolidating around top funds like a16z crypto and Dragonfly, which successfully raised new multi-billion dollar funds, while many smaller firms have retreated. Analysts describe this as a "great extinction" for crypto VCs, where capital is becoming more selective, favoring proven business models and assets over early-stage speculation. This raises the bar for project quality, funding efficiency, and viable exit paths.

Storage Chip Stocks Skyrocket: Is This a Return to a Bull Market or a Dead Cat Bounce?

The storage chip sector experienced a dramatic overnight rebound in US markets, with major stocks like SK Hynix and Micron surging over 17%. This sharp reversal is attributed to multiple factors: potential short-selling bans and market stabilization measures from South Korea, significant leverage unwinding (with leveraged ETF assets down ~70% from peaks), cooler-than-expected US inflation data easing rate hike fears, and a stellar Microsoft earnings report showing strong cloud/AI demand growth. Microsoft's results, highlighting Azure revenue crossing $100 billion, helped counter the "AI bubble burst" narrative that had pressured the sector. However, the article cautions against declaring a sustained bull market. Key risks remain, including potential further interest rate hikes by the Bank of Japan, which could pressure global carry trades, and unanswered questions about whether high industry profits can be maintained amid the supply cycle and new competition. Investors are advised to monitor whether gains hold, watch for updates on HBM/DRAM/NAND pricing and orders, and await key upcoming events like NVIDIA's earnings. The conclusion emphasizes disciplined investing—avoiding panic selling or FOMO buying—and using strategies like hedging to manage risk in this volatile environment.

Strategy's Loss in the Second Quarter Reaches $8.22 Billion Amid Bitcoin Decline

Strategy, the largest corporate holder of Bitcoin, reported a net loss of $8.22 billion for the second quarter. This loss was primarily driven by an $8.32 billion unrealized loss on its Bitcoin holdings due to a decline in the asset's price during the period. Despite these paper losses, the company increased its Bitcoin holdings to 843,775 BTC, a 25% growth since the start of the year. As part of a new monetization strategy, Strategy sold approximately $218.4 million worth of Bitcoin, mainly to fund dividends for preferred shareholders, with $216 million of that sold after Q2 ended. The company also built a $3.75 billion cash reserve, which it claims is sufficient to cover over two years of dividend and interest payments, aiming to insulate itself from Bitcoin's volatility while meeting obligations. Following the earnings release, Strategy's stock (MSTR) rose 4.7% in regular trading but corrected slightly after-hours. This pattern reflects how the company's accounting results are heavily tied to Bitcoin's price swings, even as its long-term strategy remains unchanged. The report indicates that Strategy is maintaining its core strategy of accumulating Bitcoin while building a financial buffer. This quarterly loss follows a recognizable pattern, with the company posting significant unrealized losses in previous quarters (e.g., $12.4 billion in Q4 2025 and ~$12.5 billion in Q1 2026) due to fair-value accounting. A key technical shift is its new monetization program, which introduces periodic selling pressure on the market, transitioning Strategy from a pure accumulator to a participant that occasionally adds supply. A critical question remains: how long can the cash reserve cover dividend obligations if a Bitcoin price downturn persists beyond two years?

Will Terrorist Durov Ban Russian Officials?

Telegram founder Pavel Durov publicly reacted to being labeled a "terrorist" by Russian authorities, stating the designation came after he refused demands for mass surveillance and censorship on the platform. In a Telegram post, he highlighted that this status formally bans him from "publishing information online." Durov concluded with a statement widely circulated: Russian officials "clearly don't understand who can ban whom on the internet." This remark suggests Durov could potentially restrict official Russian government and officials' channels on Telegram, which continue to operate on the platform despite its formal blocking in Russia. The situation parallels previous, slow-moving state directives, like switching officials to domestic cars, contrasted with the current push to migrate all government communication to the Russian-made messenger MAX by 2030. However, reports indicate many officials still use Telegram via workarounds, fearing surveillance on MAX, while alternatives like BiP and KakaoTalk recently became inaccessible in Russia without a VPN. Durov has not specified any immediate actions against state channels. His statement is an initial response, with further developments depending on the authorities' reaction. The dynamic differs from 2020 when Russian regulators lifted a block on Telegram; now, Durov implies control from within the platform itself over the official accounts that persisted through that earlier blockade.

DeepSeek V4 Official Version Arrives, New Capabilities Emerge, Value-for-Money King Enters the Fray

On July 31st, DeepSeek officially launched the public API beta for its DeepSeek-V4-Flash model. A key highlight is its performance on multiple Agent benchmark tests, reportedly nearing or even surpassing the level of the V4-Pro preview version from three months ago. Notably, the Flash model achieves this with significantly smaller scale (130B active parameters vs. Pro's 490B), suggesting that post-training optimization and data quality may be as crucial as raw model size. DeepSeek emphasized that the V4-Flash-0731 uses the same model architecture and size as its preview version, with improvements attributed solely to "re-trained post-training." The update also marks the official debut of DeepSeek's self-developed Agent framework, "Harness." The move signals DeepSeek's strategic push to position its cost-effective Flash model as a competitive base for Agent applications—scenarios requiring autonomous planning, tool usage, and complex task execution—where inference speed and cost are critical. By natively supporting OpenAI's Responses API format and adapting for code-generation scenarios, DeepSeek aims not just to be a cheaper alternative but to establish its own ecosystem in the Agent era. This release follows DeepSeek's record-breaking ~$50 billion fundraising round roughly two months prior, underscoring market confidence in its technology and commercialization prospects. The company is reportedly preparing for another funding round at a valuation of approximately $71 billion. The Flash model's advancement represents a step in fulfilling the high expectations that come with this valuation, setting the stage for the impending release of the V4-Pro official version and intensifying competition in the global Agent landscape.
