☕️ [Task Coins Giveaway] Daily Market Talk — SpaceX Soars 19% In Record Debut

Midday update: Risk-on Monday. SpaceX closed its first day up 19% and kept climbing overnight, a US-Iran peace deal reopening the Strait of Hormuz sent oil down about 7%, and Asia ripped with the Nikkei up over 5%. The catch: software names cratered on AI-disruption fears, and the Fed decides Thursday.
💬 Today's 3 Big Questions
- SpaceX debuted up 19% (peaking near +31%) at over USD 2 trillion intraday, the biggest IPO ever, and kept rising overnight. With only a tiny float, is this the start of a space-age re-rating, or a scarcity-driven pop that fades once supply normalises?
- The Iran deal collapsed oil about 7% and HK airlines are already surging. In Singapore, SIA, SATS and logistics REITs all benefit from cheaper fuel and reopened Hormuz lanes. Which SG-listed names capture the biggest upside, and what is the risk if the deal breaks down again?
- Adobe, Intuit, Zscaler and Workday tumbled on SaaSpocalypse fears that AI agents replace enterprise software, even as chips ripped. Real regime shift from SaaS to AI infrastructure, or an overdone panic to buy?
