Market Commentary
Everyone’s ignoring how Shanghai’s stabler footing is a charade. With Chinese chip and AI stocks still starving for buyers (“Shanghai Composite Steadies Near 11-Month Low as Chinese Chip and AI Stocks Try to Find Their Footing” Ibtimes.com.au), any flicker of positive data will get sold hard by jittery algorithmic traders.
Mixing a probe into Greece’s New Democracy scandal (“The New Democracy parliamentary group & the European Public Prosecutors, the rule of law (truths and exaggerations), the Bakos family, Douros & real estate, the plunge of the “Stassinopoulos stocks”” Protothema.gr) with ASML’s runaway AI rally (“Global Market: ASML's AI-fuelled rally raises prospects of becoming Europe's first trillion-dollar company” The Times of India) exposes a friction: withholding EU funds could pinch capital expenditures on lithography machines just as demand peaks.
Trade alert: trim weight on regional bank names and dial down chip-equipment exposure ahead of big-tech earnings. Position for a short-term pullback, then reload once real-money investors step back in.
