🦎 IGGY CLOSING BRIEF, 10 JULY 2026

🔔 That’s the bell. Here’s the read.

SESSION SCORECARD

STI closed 5,469, +0.64% from ~5,434. Opened ~5,430, dipped to ~5,410 early, then trended up into 5,460–5,470 and held through a choppy afternoon. Broad participation, with industrials and shipbuilders active. This looks like continuation, not a one-off bounce.

TOP MOVERS, FORENSIC TAKE

📊 5E2 Seatrium, +2.56%

Still in weakest zone on my tracking. Yield below floor and weak cash conversion. Structural issues unchanged.

📊 U96 Sembcorp Industries, +1.43%

No full audit yet. Move breaks the post–3 July downgrade slide. Watching into August results.

📊 AJBU Keppel DC REIT, +0.90%

Flagged technical gearing breach in my tracking, not structural. ICR still strong. No change.

WHAT CHANGED / CONFIRMED

Strength in industrials and shipbuilders aligns with calmer US tone. Oil steady ~76 as US-Iran talks continue. No new entries today. A17U and C38U higher but still missing granular data, remain watchlist only. Key carry-forward: US earnings start tonight with Delta Air Lines, first real read on cost and rate pressure.

OVERNIGHT WATCH

Focus on Delta results and US futures (currently mixed). Continued US-Iran talks are constructive; oil stabilisation matters more than direction today. A good session does not change retirement math. Names still need to clear yield thresholds on fundamentals, not sentiment. Watching if gains hold at tomorrow’s open after US earnings signal.

Not financial advice. Iggy’s Forensic Compliance Standards apply.

The pre-market and post-market opening downward pressure on US stocks was primarily caused by the combined resonance of several core negative factors and capital flow dynamics: "Exhaustion of Good News" and Profit-Taking at High Levels in Tech Stocks. Yesterday, US stocks experienced a sharp rebound driven by the surge in Micron and AMD, with the Nasdaq index rising sharply by 1.3%. Loose Holdings at High Levels: Although today marks the landmark listing of SK Hynix on Nasdaq, the massive accumulated profits in the AI sector in recent times have led investors to choose "taking profits and securing gains" on this Friday, triggering technical profit-taking. Cost-Side Concerns: As the capital expenditures of major giants in the AI field continue to consume cash flow, market scrutiny over "whether AI investments can translate into tangible profits in the short term" has become increasingly stringent, putting pressure on tech stock valuations at high levels. Geopolitics: Mysterious Airstrikes Resume, Ceasefire Agreement Faces New Variables. Although market sentiment eased in the previous trading session due to rumors of US-Iran talks, the latest news shows that a series of mysterious and unclaimed airstrikes hit southern Iran. Previously, the Trump administration signaled that the ceasefire agreement "is over," and renewed clashes between the US and Iran directly intensified market risk aversion. The escalation of conflict has further exacerbated control over the Strait of Hormuz and the shipping crisis, tightening global supply chains and energy costs once again. Inflation and Rate Cut Expectations Suppressed by "Oil Prices + High Interest Rates" Dual Pressure. Oil Prices Volatile: Affected by the aforementioned geopolitical conflicts, Brent crude and WTI prices experienced significant "swings" again today. The inability of oil prices to fall back to pre-war levels has severely hindered the global fight against inflation. High US Treasury Yields Persist: The 10-year US Treasury yield remains stubbornly high in the 4.54% - 4.58% range today. The high-interest-rate environment has increased borrowing difficulties for companies and directly caused a phased valuation multiple compression for growth stocks with high valuations. "Earnings Bombs" and Cost Devourment at the Start of Earnings Season. The Q2 US earnings season has quietly begun. The performance of leading companies announced pre-market today failed to inject a strong boost into the market: Delta Air Lines' pre-market Q2 profit barely exceeded expectations, but its stock price suffered a heavy blow. Its earnings report exposed an industry-wide pain point: due to the surge in oil prices, Delta Air Lines paid its most expensive fuel bill in company history in the just-ended quarter. This has made the market extremely concerned about the profitability of other heavy-asset, cyclical industries going forward. Technical Review and Response. From a market structure perspective, today's decline is more like a low-volume pullback after encountering strong resistance at high levels. The current market has not experienced a complete "total rout." The Dow Jones index still shows some defensiveness due to the support of traditional safe-haven and value blue-chip stocks. Technically, the major indices are moving towards the daily 20-day EMA or the Bollinger Band midline to seek support. Strategy Suggestions: Given that we are currently in a sensitive window period characterized by **"the eve of earnings season + unclear geopolitical situation," market implied volatility has been pushed up again due to the airstrikes. If engaging in options strategies to short volatility, it is currently best to choose to further widen the defensive space by lowering the strike price**, or appropriately increase cash positions and wait for the final tone set by next week's key macro data and tech heavyweight earnings reports.

Q1 2026 13F Highlights: 5 Top Funds in 5 Minutes

15 May was the SEC 13F deadline for Q1 2026. Five top managers I think are worth a read. Here's what changed, in plain SG-investor language.

A TON OF THINGS HAPPENED IN THE STOCK MARKET TODAY.

Here's a full recap:

1. Markets whipsawed throughout the day as Iran headlines shifted. Premarket stocks turned sharply green after reports suggested the U.S. was open to unfreezing Iranian assets and offering sanctions relief, reversing the weakness from overnight futures. At the open, sentiment flipped after headlines said the U.S. was rejecting Iran’s latest proposal and preparing for possible military action. Oil and bonds moved higher while stocks sold off, before equities rebounded intraday after President Trump said he would delay attacks on Iran as Middle Eastern officials pushed for a possible deal.

2. 13Fs are out. Berkshire Hathaway opened new positions in $Delta Air Lines(DAL.US) and $Macys(M.US) while also increasing its $Alphabet(GOOGL.US) stake by 200%. Berkshire also sold their entire $Unitedhealth(UNH.US) position. Chase Coleman of Tiger Global bought $Macys(M.US)ELI, $Lumentum(LITE.US), $Intel(INTC.US), $Xanadu Quantum Tech - B(XNDU.US) and $Robinhood Ventures Fund I(RVI.US). Stanley Druckenmiller sold $Alphabet(GOOGL.US) and bought $Sandisk(SNDK.US), while the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation sold 100% of its $Macys(M.US)SFT position. Bill Ackman also sold Google and bought Microsoft. The top 10 buys last quarter across 80 of the largest institutional investors were $Macys(M.US)SFT, $Amazon(AMZN.US), $Macys(M.US)ETA, $Visa(V.US), $Sunbelt Rentals(SUNB.US), $Disney(DIS.US), $Uber Tech(UBER.US), $Adobe(ADBE.US), $Fiserv, Inc.(FISV.US), and $Waters(WAT.US).

3. SpaceX’s reported IPO plans continue to gain momentum, with the company expected to trade under the ticker $SpaceX(SPCX.US) and potentially go public around June 12. Reports suggest SpaceX is targeting an $80 billion raise at roughly a $2 trillion valuation, with a focus on expanding retail access to international brokerages beyond just U.S. platforms. Meanwhile, $SpaceX(SPCX.US) perpetual futures began trading on Hyperliquid at $208 per share, implying a valuation closer to $2.4 trillion — which would make it the largest IPO in history. Perpetual futures markets are increasingly being used to create liquidity and price discovery for private or non-liquid assets ahead of public listings.

4. OpenAI won its trial against Elon Musk, who argued the company “stole a charity” by transitioning toward a for-profit structure after he contributed tens of millions to help launch it. OpenAI’s defense said Musk was aware of and supported the for-profit plans early on, only opposing the company later after losing influence and starting rival AI firm xAI. The ruling appears to remove one of the biggest legal obstacles standing in the way of a potential OpenAI IPO.

5. Citi sees the server CPU market growing from $29.3 billion in 2025 to $131.5 billion by 2030, driven largely by the rise of agentic AI workloads. The bank expects the biggest growth category to be agentic CPU applications, forecasting the segment to grow at a 185% CAGR to $59.4 billion by 2030 — representing 45% of the total server CPU market. Citi’s projected 2030 market share breakdown is $Intel(INTC.US) at 47%, $AMD(AMD.US) at 34%, and ARM-based and other players at 19%.

6. Top option volume leaders today were led by $NVIDIA(NVDA.US) with 3.94 million total contracts traded, followed closely by $Tesla(TSLA.US) at 3.86 million. $Macys(M.US)SFT saw 1.12 million contracts, while $Apple(AAPL.US) traded 899K and $Amazon(AMZN.US) traded 762K contracts. Rounding out the top 10 were $Alphabet(GOOGL.US) with 701K contracts, $Macys(M.US)U with 657K, $Intel(INTC.US) with 655K, $Netflix(NFLX.US) with 445K, and $Macys(M.US)ETA with 441K total option contracts traded.

7. BofA reiterated $Netflix(NFLX.US) at Buy with a $125 price target, citing an expanding advertising opportunity. Analyst Jessica Reif Ehrlich noted that Netflix’s ad-supported tier has grown to more than 250 million monthly viewers globally, up from 94 million last year. BofA expects ad revenue to rise from about $1.5 billion in CY25 to roughly $3 billion in CY26 as Netflix expands ad formats, pricing, personalization, and international availability. The firm also highlighted new placements across mobile vertical video and podcasts, along with plans to enter 15 additional ad markets.

8. President Trump will swear in Kevin Warsh as the next chairman of the United States Federal Reserve on Friday. Kevin Warsh will be the wealthiest Fed Chair in history with an estimated net worth of $150M. He has publicly expressed support for crypto and believes AI will be deflationary.

9. $NVIDIA(NVDA.US) Nvidia invested in Decart as AI labs look for more flexibility across chips. Decart builds AI infrastructure software that helps developers run models across processors from Nvidia, Amazon, Google, and others. WSJ reports the startup raised $300 million at a nearly $4 billion valuation, led by Radical Ventures with participation from Nvidia. Its main product, the Decart Optimization Stack, helps developers move models between different hardware systems without rebuilding around each chip. Amazon is Decart’s biggest customer and has deployed its tech across Twitch, retail, and studios, while the company also builds real-time world models for interactive 3D environments.

10. OpenAI and $Dell Tech(DELL.US) are partnering to bring Codex deeper into enterprise infrastructure. Dell’s AI Factory and AI Data Platform help companies run AI workloads across hybrid and on-prem environments, and OpenAI is now connecting Codex into that stack. Codex already has over 4 million weekly developers and is used for code review, test coverage, incident response, and reasoning across large codebases. The next phase is broader enterprise agents that can gather context, prepare reports, route feedback, qualify leads, write follow-ups, and coordinate work across business systems.

11. $Macys(M.US)ETA is laying off 10% of it's staff. The layoffs are shaping up to be an AI-driven reorganization. An internal document says Meta will conduct layoffs globally in three batches at 4 a.m. local time, with North America employees told to work from home Wednesday. Leaders are also expected to announce broader organizational changes. Meta plans to move 7,000 employees into new AI workflow initiatives while eliminating some managerial roles. Reuters previously reported the May 20 wave would impact about 10% of Meta’s workforce.

12. The SEC is reportedly considering an “innovation exemption” that could allow tokenized stocks to trade on DeFi platforms. Bloomberg Law says the agency may permit third-party stock tokens even without approval from the public companies they track, meaning platforms could create tokens tied to names like $Apple(AAPL.US), $Tesla(TSLA.US), or $Amazon(AMZN.US) without issuer involvement. These tokens may trade outside parts of the traditional equity-market structure and may not include normal shareholder rights like voting or dividends. Platforms like $Robinhood(HOOD.US) and $Coinbase(COIN.US) along with Blackrock's Larry Fink have called for the eventual tokenization of everything.

BERKSHIRE HATHAWAY OPENS NEW POSITIONS IN $Delta Air Lines(DAL.US) DELTA AIRLINES AND $Macys(M.US) MACYS.

They added very heavily to their $Alphabet(GOOGL.US) position as well by increasing it by 200%.

Some pretty incredible moves being disclosed...looks like Berkshire thinks the consumer story around retail is overblown and that oil prices will come down to help airlines...also seems like they are doubling down on their Google position.
