Recently, the open-source AI software OpenClaw has sparked a craze in mainland China, with related concept stocks like MiniMax experiencing significant increases. Despite its broad prospects, experts warn that its application threshold is high, facing cost and security risks. OpenClaw can automate the execution of multiple tasks and has quickly become a popular foundational software. Companies such as Alibaba Cloud and Baidu Intelligent Cloud have launched related services, and Tencent is also actively promoting its cloud services. MiniMax's AI assistant MaxClaw is showing strong commercialization momentum, with rapidly growing annual recurring revenue

- The open-source AI software "OpenClaw" has gained significant popularity in mainland China, prompting notable increases in related stocks, such as MiniMax, which surged nearly 24%.

- There are also serious security concerns, as OpenClaw requires extensive user permissions, risking sensitive data loss if compromised, emphasizing the need for cautious adoption in businesses.

In today’s pre-mkt summary for Subscribers: Stocks fell but pared losses after reports of potential G7 coordinated strategic petroleum reserve releases, last done in 2022 during the Russia-Ukraine oil crisis. Brent crude surged to $105/bbl amid the escalating Middle East conflict and effective Strait of Hormuz closure, driving a sharp risk-off sentiment with the VIX spiking to 32. 10y yields rose while gold and silver fell modestly. Tomorrow’s Feb CPI print (pre-conflict data) will be overshadowed by next week’s FOMC meeting and updated dot plot, as investors increasingly fear stagflation from sustained high oil prices amid slowing job growth. We view the current oil shock as akin to the temporary 2022 Russia-Ukraine spike rather than a lasting supply disruption. We expect equities to reclaim new highs once the conflict de-escalates, oil retreats, and Fed rate-cut odds rise. We remain cautious on $Tesla(TSLA.US) given declining 2026-2030 estimates, extended valuation (~200x 2026 P/E), and increasing competition in unsupervised autonomy from $Alphabet - C(GOOG.US), $Baidu(BIDU.US), $Amazon(AMZN.US), and others already scaling paid rides without safety monitors.

In today’s pre-mkt summary for Subscribers: Risk-off sentiment intensified as escalating Middle East conflict halted tanker traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, driving Brent crude +8.3% to $79/bbl and pushing 10-year Treasury yields to 3.97%. Safe-haven buying lifted precious medals while long-duration equities were hit hardest. We view the volatility as temporary; once the conflict de-escalates, oil prices will retreat, and softer Feb employment data on Friday could bolster Fed rate-cut expectations. This should allow equities to reclaim new highs supported by solid 2026 S&amp;P 500 earnings growth of +12% YoY to $310, implying a reasonable 22.2x forward P/E and 4.5% earnings yield vs sub-4.0% 10-year TYs. We remain cautious on $Tesla(TSLA.US) (no position) given declining long-term EPS estimates, rapid democratization of unsupervised autonomy by competitors ( $Alphabet - C(GOOG.US), $Baidu(BIDU.US), $Amazon(AMZN.US), others already at 850K paid unsupervised autonomous rides/week), and a stretched valuation (2026 P/E ~200x vs +40% forward EPS growth = 5x PEG, avg Mag 7 PEG 2x).
