Personal Summary of Recommendations:

Today, the U.S. stock market showed a clear rebound in risk appetite, with all three major indices rising collectively. The Nasdaq and the S&P 500 both hit record highs. This was primarily driven by easing geopolitical tensions (expectations of a U.S.-Iran peace agreement) and strong tech earnings reports.

Here is a summary of U.S. stock market big data as of May 7, 2026:

Index Performance & Core Data

Nasdaq Composite Index (IXIC): Surged 2.01%, closing at 25,834.88 points.

S&P 500 Index (SPX): Rose 1.45%, closing at 7,364.72 points.

Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJI): Rose 1.22% (approximately 603 points), closing at 49,909.55 points, just a step away from the 50,000-point milestone.

Fear Index (VIX): Declined as safe-haven sentiment receded.

10-Year U.S. Treasury Yield: Fell to around 4.35%, easing pressure on risk assets.

Sector & Industry Focus

Semiconductors & AI:

AMD's earnings report was outstanding, leading the chip stocks higher today.

NVIDIA (NVDA) stock price remained stable. The market is holding its breath for the upcoming Q1 FY 2026 report on May 20th, with analysts generally expecting its revenue growth to accelerate to over 77%.

Tech Heavyweights:

Tesla (TSLA) performed brightly, gaining over 3.6%. A 36% surge in sales signals from the Chinese market and strong exports offset some market concerns about gross margins.

Apple (AAPL) rose over 1.3%. Although the company just reached a $250 million settlement in a class-action lawsuit over the delayed Siri AI features, market expectations for the AI roadmap at next month's developer conference (WWDC) are heating up.

Energy & Commodities:

Crude Oil Plunge: Affected by expectations of a U.S.-Iran peace agreement, Brent crude broke below the $100 mark, and WTI crude fell to around $95, with a single-day drop exceeding 7%.

Cryptocurrency Market Linkage

Bitcoin (BTC): Remained oscillating above the $81,000 mark. Although it fell slightly by about 0.3% in 24 hours, it still showed extremely strong resilience compared to other assets.

Ethereum (ETH): Performed relatively weakly, with its price hovering around $2,330, down about 1.5%. Technically, ETH is under pressure below the 200-day moving average (around $2,367), and it's crucial to watch whether it can reclaim the key resistance level of $2,370.

Investment Operation Suggestions (For Reference Only)

Technical Analysis Focus:

MACD/RSI: Currently, the Nasdaq is at a high level, and caution is needed for a potential pullback under short-term RSI overbought signals.

Options Strategy: For popular stocks like NVDA, implied volatility (IV) typically rises before earnings (before May 20th). Some investors tend to use Sell Put to collect premiums or construct Bull Put Spreads to hedge risks.

Macro Risks: Global debt is approaching a historical high of $353 trillion, and while geopolitical tensions are expected to ease, they remain subject to reversals.
