$CapLand IntCom T(C38U.SI)$ would be my first choice among the Orchard Road S-REITs. I like its scale, diversified portfolio and blue-chip quality, while exposure to ION Orchard, Plaza Singapura and Paragon gives it a strong position in Singapore’s prime retail market. At around book value, I also think the valuation is reasonable for a REIT of this quality. What attracts me most is the combination of income and potential DPU growth. The Paragon acquisition should provide additional contribution, while lower interest rates could gradually reduce financing costs.

$Rocket Lab USA, Inc.(RKLB)$ $SpaceX(SPCX)$  $AST SpaceMobile, Inc.(ASTS)$  🚀 $RKLB Q2 2026 earnings: 16.9% Move Priced In, Shorts Are Watching Rocket Lab $RKLB reports Q2 earnings after the close tonight, and this one has the ingredients for a serious volatility event. The stock has finished 5 of its last 8 post-earnings sessions higher, including a monster 34.5% surge following its May report. That reaction came after Rocket Lab delivered record $200.3M Q1 revenue, up 63.5% YoY, while backlog climbed to $2.2B. (Rocket Lab Corporation⁠) Now the market is demanding another step-up. 📊 Earnings setup: • Average post-earnings move: 12.1% • Optio

CPI Wednesday is going to make 90% of traders lose money before lunch. Here's the exact playbook so you're not one of them 👇 🧊 COOL PRINT (0.1% or below) Market gaps up ~+0.24% at the open. That strength gets sold, median −0.27% intraday fade. The reversal isn't real, though: cool prints ran +1.05% over the next 3 sessions, the strongest follow-through of any outcome 📊 Don’t chase the gap up. Let the morning sellers finish, the real move comes over the rest of the week, so buy the dip ✅ IN-LINE (0.2%, the forecast) Near-zero intraday drift, tightest range of the three. Vol bleeds out once the event risk resolves. 71% close green, highest rate of any bucket and still +0.55% over the next 3 sessions 📊 Buy the Intra-Day Dips 🔥 HOT PRINT (0.3%+) Gaps down ~−0.30% at the open.

TRADE PLAN for Tuesday 📈 $SPX just finished up a 4th day of consolidation above 7700. The market may not break out of this current range until after CPI data premarket on Wednesday. MOST likely we see another range day tomorrow so just wait until we see CPI data before trading this week. SPX needs through 7800 to test 8000. $MU every pop higher gets sold near/above 900 the past week. Until we see MU close above 900 and hold for at least 3 trading days, Avoid trading the upside for it. $QQQ all time high is at 748. QQQ closed at 720.87 today. QQQ can trade in a wide range from 712-748 for now. It's a risk off environment for Chip and memory stocks until we see $MU and $SNDK lead again.

I’d pick cybersecurity as the sector with the most room to run. AI is creating new threats while making enterprise infrastructure more complex, supporting strong long-term security spending. $Palo Alto Networks(PANW)$ and $CrowdStrike Holdings, Inc.(CRWD)$ both look compelling, although I expect some consolidation after the strong rerating. If I had to pick one name today, I’d choose PANW. The CyberArk and Chronosphere acquisitions could strengthen

I would separate the two trades. **Tencent is likely to set the tone for the Hang Seng Tech Index, but SMIC and Hua Hong will determine whether the semiconductor rally still deserves its domestic-substitution premium.** For Tencent, I would not automatically interpret revenue growth of roughly 10% versus EPS growth of roughly 4% as deterioration. The key question is *why* earnings lag. Tencent entered Q2 after Q1 revenue rose 9% to RMB196.5 billion while non-IFRS profit rose 11% and operating margin improved to 38.5%. If Wednesday's results show games and advertising remaining strong but AI/cloud investment temporarily absorbing the incremental profit, investors may tolerate weaker EPS leverage. The distinction is important: **margin compression caused by weak pricing is bearish; margin co

I’m not ready to call the end of the AI optics cycle after COHR dropped 14%, LITE 8.6% and AXTI 16.7%. To me, this looks more like a valuation reset ahead of $COHERENT(COHR)$ earnings than proof that AI optical demand has weakened. AAOI’s 800G growth and Lumentum’s long-term InP supply deal still point to strong underlying demand. However, expectations are extremely high. Even strong growth may not be enough if COHR’s margins or guidance fail to beat what investors have already priced in. Trade restrictions could also create a mixed impact, helping U.S. suppliers while raising upstream supply and cost risks. Personally, I’m waiting for COHR’s earnings before making an aggressive move. Strong results and guidance could make this selloff an attract

I would **not call this a broad space-sector rally restart yet**. The price action looks more like a **SpaceX-specific leadership/positioning trade**, while the market is becoming more demanding about fundamentals elsewhere. Rocket Lab illustrates the problem. Q2 revenue really was a record **$234.1 million, +62% YoY**, slightly ahead of expectations, and management said launch demand remains extremely strong. It has signed more than **$437 million of Electron, HASTE and Neutron bookings** during Q2 and since quarter-end. Yet the $0.08-per-share loss was wider than the roughly $0.05 expected, and investors sold the shares.  That is actually quite revealing. Investors are no longer rewarding **revenue growth alone**. Rocket Lab's next phase requires converting its backlog and spending

I would pick CICT. The Paragon acquisition strengthens its exposure to prime Orchard Road luxury retail, while its diversified retail and office portfolio provides more resilience than relying on a single recovery theme. Stronger tourism, luxury spending and Orchard Road rents could provide further upside. Starhill Global REIT is arguably the more interesting value play because of its deep discount, but a cheap valuation needs a catalyst before that gap necessarily closes. Suntec REIT could benefit from Singapore's MICE recovery, although its office exposure and financing costs add more uncertainty. My ranking: CICT > Starhill > Suntec. I prefer CICT's combination of quality assets, diversification and earnings visibility, while Starhill would be the higher-risk re-rating opportunit

Light (Optics) vs Memory - Which side to bet on?  While memory is important, Light wins the valuation crown over storage.  This is because of a brutal law of physics: The Electronic Bottleneck. Let's look at why Wall Street treats memory like a premium commodity but treats light like magic: Memory chips store data but they have to send that data to the GPU using copper wires & electrons.  If the data takes too long to get from the memory bank to the GPU, that USD 40,000 chip sits idle. $Lumentum(LITE)$ & $COHERENT(COHR)$ use photons.  Silicon photonics convert digital data into beams of lig

A TON OF THINGS HAPPENED IN THE STOCK MARKET TODAY. Here's a full recap: 1. Nvidia $NVDA announced partnerships with Apollo, BlackRock, Blackstone, Brookfield, Goldman Sachs, and KKR to create independent AI compute financing platforms designed to mobilize more than $500 billion of third-party capital over time. The goal is to turn Nvidia compute and full-stack AI infrastructure into an investable asset class, helping fund the global buildout of AI factories while giving Nvidia customers access to large pools of capital at attractive rates. Jensen: “In AI, compute is revenue. NVIDIA compute is uniquely suited for this role. It is broadly adopted, flexible across models and workloads, fungible and transferable across customers and operators, and continuously improved through CUDA software.

I’m leaning D — Holding Steady. The STI’s ~23% YTD rally is impressive, but I don’t think the story is over. Singapore’s banks continue delivering strong earnings and dividends, while SGX benefits from stronger capital-market activity. If earnings remain solid, the STI could still challenge 6,000. That said, I wouldn’t chase aggressively here. After such a strong run, consolidation around 5,400–5,700 would be healthy. I’d rather keep my core positions, reinvest dividends and add selectively on pullbacks. I’m more comfortable staying invested than trying to guess the exact top. The key risk is whether falling rates pressure bank NIMs enough to offset wealth management and fee-income growth. For me, this rally is increasingly about earnings, dividends and compounding. If banks keep executin
