Macro Watch: All Eyes on Stockholm The third round of US–China talks starts Monday in Sweden.

$SIA(C6L.SI)$  Singapore Airlines' (SIA) 59% year-on-year decline in Q1 net income to S$186 million is a sharp deterioration, particularly when viewed against the backdrop of only a marginal 1.5% increase in revenue to S$4.79 billion. This suggests that the cost side of the equation – particularly non-operational pressures such as losses from Air India Ltd. and reduced interest income – is beginning to weigh more heavily on the bottom line. Key observations: 1. Air India Drag: The investment in Air India, while strategic in positioning SIA within a fast-growing aviation market, has evidently become a short-term liability. Losses here reduce consolidated profitability and cast doubt on the near-term returns from thi

DBS is making headlines again — surging toward the SGD$50 mark as investors cheer its strong capital position, digital growth, and dividend momentum. But beneath the surface, there’s a key risk developing for the broader sector: Net Interest Margin (NIM) compression. So while DBS flies, will OCBC (and even UOB) be dragged down? DBS Still the Star DBS has managed to outperform thanks to its diversified earnings, tech investments, and cross-border growth. Despite a softening NIM, its fee income and wealth management segments continue to support earnings. The stock’s momentum shows investors still trust its long-term story. But OCBC Feels the Pressure OCBC, more sensitive to pure lending margins, might feel a deeper impact from falling NIMs as rates peak and loan growth slows. Its China expos

The race is on between two of the biggest chip giants in the AI revolution — NVIDIA and AMD. With both stocks riding the AI wave, investors are asking a simple question: who gets to $200 first? And more importantly, which one has the better risk-reward profile from here? NVIDIA: The King with Momentum NVIDIA has already made headlines this year with its explosive rally, record-breaking market cap, and near-monopoly in AI training chips. With strong datacenter demand and growing software revenue, it’s hard to argue against its dominance. But with the stock already priced for perfection, the question is whether there's still enough fuel to keep climbing. AMD: The Challenger Rising AMD is the underdog in market cap, but not in ambition. Its MI300X chip is gaining traction, and partnerships in

Mega Earnings Week: Big Tech, Crypto, Finance—Which Sector Will Steal the Show?

The week of July 28-August 1, 2025, is a make-or-break moment for markets, with a deluge of earnings from technology, financial services, energy, and cryptocurrency sectors colliding with the Federal Reserve’s interest rate decision. The S&P 500’s record highs at 6,263.26 and Nasdaq’s 21,000 milestone reflect bullish sentiment, but a VIX at 15.94 and looming tariff risks signal volatility. Recent earnings have been a mixed bag—Alphabet’s modest 0.88% gain despite a beat and Tesla’s 4% drop on a miss highlight a market punishing weakness. Can this week’s heavyweights—Meta, Microsoft, Apple, Amazon, and others—lift the gloom shadowing the season? This report dives into the key catalysts, top stocks to watch, and strategic trading approaches to seize opportunities while managing risks. Ke

DBS’s charge toward S$50 is a big moment for Singapore’s banking sector, but also a reminder that the easy gains may be behind us—at least for now. After an incredible 52% rise last year, this year’s 16% YTD move feels steadier but also riskier, especially as DBS now trades well above book value. That kind of premium only holds if the bank can keep growing earnings—but with margin pressure now accelerating, there are definitely cracks appearing beneath the surface. A pullback after reaching new all-time highs wouldn’t be surprising at all. Profit-taking is normal at psychological milestones like S$50, and volatility could pick up quickly if upcoming earnings (from DBS or OCBC) disappoint. DBS’s own warnings about the impact of margin compression and rate headwinds show that even the strong

The race to $200 is heating up between AMD and Nvidia, and the stakes couldn’t be higher. AMD’s momentum has been undeniable—up another 2% on Friday to close at $166, riding a wave of strong earnings, new product launches, and growing belief in its ability to challenge Nvidia in AI and data centre chips. If sentiment stays this bullish and traders keep chasing “the next Nvidia,” AMD could easily keep rallying, especially if the company delivers another round of upbeat guidance or lands a major new partnership in the coming weeks. On the other hand, Nvidia’s fundamental strength remains the gold standard in AI hardware. Alphabet’s $10 billion capex is a direct signal that hyperscalers and big tech are not slowing down their AI investments—and nearly every dollar of new capex in AI infrastru

My Investing Muse (28Jul25) Layoffs & Closure news Microsoft laid off ~16,000+ workers in 2025 (so far). Filed 6,000+ H-1B visa applications. To me, it was about the optics more than anything. The job market isn’t great. H1B isn’t new. But damn, y’all… They told the media it was “just flattening management.” (Only 17% of those cut were actually managers.) The real story?

American Airlines Beats on Q2 Earnings and Revenue, but Guides to Q3 Loss: Navigating Turbulence Ahead

$American Airlines(AAL)$ American Airlines (NASDAQ: AAL) reported second-quarter fiscal 2025 results that outpaced Wall Street expectations on both the top and bottom lines, driven by resilient summer travel demand, cost controls, and strategic capacity management. Yet despite the upbeat quarter, the airline tempered investor optimism with a more cautious forecast for Q3, projecting a loss amid rising fuel prices, continued labor-related cost pressures, and signs of softening demand in late August and September. The mixed results underscore the challenging operating environment legacy carriers face, even as travel normalizes post-pandemic. American, the world’s largest airline by available seat miles, finds itself at an inflection point—balancing p

Their Q1 NIM dropped 23bps, & if that trend continues, it could signal sector - wide pressure [OMG]  .

🚀 AMD surges to $166, NVIDIA rides Alphabet’s $10B AI capex wave — Who’s got the edge in the race to $200? [Surprised] With big tech earnings looming, here’s what I’m watching.[Eye] AMD’s July run is no joke — Up 23%, breaking resistance with volume confirmation. Traders are chasing momentum, but RSI’s flashing caution ⚠️. NVIDIA’s setup is quieter, but deeper: $44B Q1 revenue, 75% margins, & hyperscale demand still ramping. Alphabet’s $10B capex is a direct tailwind 🌬️. Capex boom: Meta, Microsoft, Amazon all boosting infra spend. If this trend holds, NVIDIA’s pipeline stays loaded. But AMD could benefit too—especially in MI400 & custom silicon. Who hits $200 first? [Thinking] AMD: Momentum play could spike pre-earnings! NVIDIA: Fundamental beast, slower grind but more stayi
