DacaiI’m glad to see Apple share price hitting new high. There were investors who were sceptical that Apple would do well with higher component costs but I think they underestimate Apple.
☕️ [Task Coins Giveaway] Daily Market Talk — Apple Touches $5 Trillion as Chip Stocks Crack
$Apple(AAPL.US) just hit a number no one saw coming this fast. Apple briefly touched a $5 trillion market cap on Tuesday, only the second company ever to get there, and closed up 0.94% near $4.99 tril...
$IFAST(AIY.SG)Despite earnings results that met or beat estimates and buy calls by various brokers, this stock has repeatedly experienced steep sell-offs and its stock price has stayed range bound. It broke below MA50 and the upward trend line that had been forming in the daily chart. I expect it to move towards 8.45-8.5 before it has any hope of rebounding.
It’s a bloody day for tech stocks with a broad sell off triggered by the news that China is producing DUV lithography machines. It remains to be seen whether China’s product can compare to the current leadier in the industry ASML.
☕️ [Task Coins Giveaway] Daily Market Talk — Apple Retakes the Crown as Nvidia, SK Hynix Slide
Nvidia's biggest bet is looking shaky. Nvidia (NVDA) sank about 5%, its worst day since February, on fears its reported $250B OpenAI financing guarantee is circular financing in disguise, handing Appl...
$ISDN(I07.SG)This stock came to my attention when it surged 16% on 21 Jun because SAC Capital released a report with a target price of 0.97. However the big green candle couldn’t hold for more than a day as investors started selling to take profit. It dropped 13.2% from 0.755 over the next three days before rebounding from 0.655 to 0.68. This is a small-cap stock with 59.8% free float so the price is more volatile. In the daily chart, 0.655 is the first support followed by 0.62. In the weekly chart, 0.62 is a strong support.
The outcome of the peace negotiations is still up in the air, when Trump is one of the parties involved. I expect local banks to hit new high as the next earnings are expected to be good.
☕️ [Task Coins Giveaway] Daily Market Talk — Nvidia Bets $250B on OpenAI as Oil Tumbles Toward $90
A blockbuster weekend for the AI trade. Nvidia (NVDA) is in talks to backstop about $250B of financing for an OpenAI mega data-centre and took a roughly 4.5% stake in Korea's NAVER, which jumped aroun...
$Suntec Reit(T82U.SG)Suntec Reit’s earnings report for Q2 was generally positive. With the declaration of a dividend of 2 cents, this brings the DPU for the first half of 2026 to 3.936 cents which is a 25.5% increase yoy. Contributing factors were positive rental reversion for Singapore office and retail portfolio, higher occupancy rates and a lower provision for withholding tax as it is able to keep its managed trust status in Australia.

It should be obvious that the Trump Administration will levy tariffs by whichever excuse it can find so I think the tariffs are not as much of a surprise as before.
☕️ [Task Coins Giveaway] Daily Market Talk — Intel Soars as Big Tech Sheds $800B, Oil Breaks $100
It was the wildest night of earnings season. After the close Intel (INTC) roared back, jumping about 12% on its fastest revenue growth since 2011, but the rest of Big Tech went the other way: Tesla (T...
$Oiltek(HQU.SG)On the daily chart, the stock price of Oiltek appears to be consolidating between 1.66-1.67 and a support level of 1.59-1.60. The Middle East situation is escalating as I type and Brent crude oil price has hit a new high of 99.80 so I believe there is more upside for this stock. As it is a small cap stock, the price movement can be more volatile. I will split my purchases into a few batches to manage my risk.
With oil prices likely to go up and remain high for longer, there may be upside for alternatives like sustainable fuel and green energy.
☕️ [Task Coins Giveaway] Daily Market Talk — Alphabet's $200B Capex Bill Comes Due
The AI capex bill everyone was dreading finally landed. Alphabet beat on sales and grew Cloud 82%, but guided 2026 spending to a staggering $195-205B, swung to negative free cash flow, and fell about ...
$IFAST(AIY.SG)On the daily chart, the uptrend channel within which it has been trading appears intact. Post-market earnings report takes place on 24 July which is a Friday so it is crucial to observe how the market will react on 27 July. The key resistance levels to watch out for are 9.63 and 9.83. Support level is around 8.99-9.
It is difficult to tell if this recovery in chip stocks is a dead cat bounce. My gut feeling says no as the AI infrasture demand is real but the market is moved by smart money and what we can do is size our positions according to our risk appetite and set stop losses.
☕️ [Task Coins Giveaway] Daily Market Talk — Chips Explode, Tesla & Google Tonight
Memory stocks went vertical (MU +12%, SNDK +14%) on UBS's buy call, while Nvidia declared Vera Rubin in full production. Next up: Tesla and Alphabet report tonight, the first real test of whether AI capex is turning into cash.
Trump’s vociferous posturing is not going to get the Strait of Hormuz open. In his past track record of “managing” relations with other countries, he has always made things worse and this war is turning out no different. Now we are faced with the threat of blockage of another strait and free marine passage rights in danger of being undermined permanently.

Anti-Nvidia silicon war heats up: AMD-Microsoft Helios deal + Google's "Frozen v2" chip open two new fronts against Nvidia the same day. STI takes a breather while DBS eyes S$1T wealth AUM by 2030.
$Suntec Reit(T82U.SG)Keep it up, Suntec Reit! The stock price has been hovering around and testing the upper limit of the Bollinger Band for the past 2 weeks. Resistance is at 1.54. If it can break through that, it will set a new high for 52 weeks. I can’t wait to see that happen.

$Suntec Reit(T82U.SG)The chart is still looking good. A little pullback at this point after the formation of a “cup” is not unusual. The long tail wick suggests buyers are still in the market despite the red candle. If the sentiment holds, it may progress into a bullish cup and handle pattern later on. The handle should be less than half of the depth of the cup.
I’m looking forward to the earnings of the three big local banks. The stock price is likely to benefit from the growth in net new money and wealth management income given the continuing uncertainties in the Middle East and the rotation of funds from chip stocks.
☕️ [Task Coins Giveaway] Daily Market Talk — Apple Retakes the Crown
Big rotation to kick off the week. Apple briefly overtook Nvidia as the world's most valuable company on Friday as AI-capex doubts hit the chip trade.
$IFAST(AIY.SG)On the daily and weekly charts, we can see a bullish falling wedge seems to be forming as the price has broken above the upper trend line of the wedge. After breaking out, it falls and rebounds at the upper level of the wedge, forming a new support. This bodes well for the continuation of the uptrend.

I’m glad I exited my small gold position at a loss. If I had held on, I would be even worse off now. While some people believe in holding a bit of gold for diversification, I don’t think it works for me as it doesn’t pay dividend.
☕️ [Task Coins Giveaway] Daily Market Talk — TSMC Beats, But Chips Bleed
TSMC crushed its quarter and raised its outlook, yet the whole chip complex got dumped anyway, because it also jacked up how much it plans to spend. Memory took the worst of it (SK Hynix -13%, SanDisk...
