Tech Pullback and Hawkish Fed Spark Market Rotation

Between a newly hawkish Federal Reserve and creeping fatigue over artificial intelligence spending, the market layout is shifting rapidly. Here is a breakdown of what to expect as June closes out and how this impacts the U.S. dollar, tech, and broader sectors. The Month-End Closeout: The Big Picture June is poised to close on a defensive note. The primary driver behind the late-month jitteriness is a regime shift at the Federal Reserve under its new Chair, Kevin Warsh. In the June FOMC meeting, the Fed dropped its previous "easing bias".

Fear is building beneath the market’s surface: The Fear & Greed Index is now down to 24.8, the lowest since early April. This metric is now below the 30-point threshold, signaling "Extreme Fear" among investors. The reading comes despite the S&P 500 sitting just -3.7% below its all-time high. By comparison, the index bottomed at 5.8 points on March 30th and 5.2 points in November 2024. This comes as the 5-day average put-to-call ratio is up to 0.84, the highest since the 2nd week of April and above the levels seen between July 2025 and January 2026. Keep watching sentiment.

$T-REX 2X Long DRAM Daily Target ETF(RAM)$ Selling Covered Calls on RAM, 6 months plan. 112% upside trade, with only 65% downside risk. This is almost 1:1.7 Risk to Reward Options for furthest DTE/Strike is at 35% premium, highly mispriced in my opinion. Granted, RAM may well 2X by EOY. I will take the risk on opportunity cost. When market opens, I will sell Covered Calls.
🌟🌟🌟 I invest in $AEM SGD(AWX.SI)$ because it is one of Singapore's best AI Stocks. AEM sits in the part of the AI world most people never see: the testing, validation and precision engineering that ensures every advanced chip - from AI accelerators to high performance processors - actually works. Because Singapore's AI ambition needs strong reliable engineering partners, AEM is one of the few homegrown companies positioned right at that intersection of semiconductors, advanced testing and AI driven demand. I invest in AEM because it represents the kind of Singapore company I believe in: disciplined, innovative, globally relevant and quietly essential to the future. @Tiger_SG </
