Breaking: President Trump has disclosed more than 1,000 trades in June totaling up to $263M
Recent purchases include: • Visa, $Visa(V.US), Berkshire Hathaway, $BRK.B, Mastercard, $Mastercard(MA.US), and Cintas, $Cintas(CTAS.US)🌟🌟🌟If you are looking for proof that Crypto Winter has melted, the fundamental data points to 3 catalysts:
1. Bitcoin spot price has jumped, hitting a USD 72,500 baseline.
2. The Clarity Act has gained traction in the US Congress.
3. The world's largest asset managers including BlackRock, Visa, Mastercard and DTCC are actively launching institutional tokenisation infrastructure. With real world assets, corporate bonds and money market funds being absorbed in the blockchain pipeline, the technological foundation of global finance is being permanently rewritten.
$iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF(IBIT.US)is a good way to get back into the crypto market. It tracks the physical spot price of Bitcoin and its fund manager is BlackRock, the largest asset manager in the world.
Two of the week's biggest stories unwound Thursday: Walmart crashed 9% as US sales growth hit its slowest pace since 2020, and Moderna gave back almost all of Wednesday's record surge, its worst day e...
I entered Visa at around $359 as the stock had returned to its pre-earnings level, creating an attractive entry point despite strong results. Revenue grew 14.36% YoY while EPS beat expectations by 2.76%, highlighting continued earnings momentum.
I see upside potential and remain bullish on Visa as consumers and businesses increasingly shift from cash to digital payments, supporting long-term growth in payment volumes. Visa also benefits from growing cross-border transactions and international travel, which typically carry higher fees. Beyond traditional card payments, its investments in commercial payments and AI-driven commerce can also open new growth opportunities.
Visa ( $Visa(V.US)) dipped -1% AH after Visa reported 3Q earnings, revs, and payments that beat expectations, but guided to lower than expected 4Q earnings due to higher than expected expense growth.
3Q actuals- Adj EPS $3.32 vs $2.98 exp- Net revs $11.6B (+14% YoY) vs $11.4B est - Operating exp $4.76B (+19% YoY) vs $4.0B exp- Payments volume (+10% YoY) vs +9% YoY exp.4Q guidance- Adj EPS low-end of mid-teens growth vs +16% exp.- Net revs high end of low double digit growth vs +12% exp- Operating expense growth low double digit growth vs +8% exp.We believe $Visa(V.US) price could move lower after results (similar to AXP last week) if the 3Q margin compression from higher expenses is confirmed to continue into 4Q on the conf call at 5pm ET.$Visa(V.US) Q3 Earnings Double Beat

Doing this could boost profit margin as they could route transactions internally through strip and PayPal and bypass Visa and MasterCard, this saving fees.
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.
Bank stocks continue the rally without any signs of stopping. Even when market opened lower yesterday, our 3 local banks managed to turn the tide and lead the reversal to eventually close higher for the day. I believe this is great for long term investors, but at the same time also expect the prices to drop back down in October when the trading board size decreases to increase trading volume.
Inflation finally broke the market's way. June CPI cooled hard to 3.5%, the biggest monthly drop in six years, gutting July hike odds and sending chips flying. But it was a split tape: JPMorgan and Go...
The market-boosting effect of CPI is somewhat insignificant. The market is currently in a state of intense tug-of-war between bulls and bears. The anticipated quarterly earnings season has been suppressed all along. Will it simply fizzle out or wait for an outburst after the suppression? Let's wait and see.

June CPI came in lower than expected and the markets cheered slightly. Software stocks turned positive by closing while massive capital was flowing back into chips and memory stocks. However, I still hold a neutral stance as the macro risk is still very real. With companies starting to report earnings from the end of the month, I will be paying close attention to what they have to say.

I’m really pleased to see STI breaking new record. A large part of that has to do with the 3 big banks which are on fire. I’m not so sure if this has to do with the AI manufacturing story. The AI manufacturing related stocks (component suppliers) I hold are up one day and down the next.

Its good that inflation came down. Hopefully the data keeps trending in a good way and helps keep the prices of things, especially essential ones, manageable.

Gold surged 700 pips right after yesterday’s CPI release only to fall back again quickly. What a classic bull trap 🥲.
Frankly speaking, I don’t buy these CPI numbers at all. With the Strait of Hormuz still shut, there is no way oil prices can drop back to pre-conflict levels ☺️.
Go ask around your friends and colleagues – does anyone actually feel like inflation is slowing down? 🤣

Looks like inflation is cooling (at least on data) and more evidence that capital is being shunted into AI related spendings first which shows the urgency and scarcity of supply.

So market fears have subsided with just a soft CPI? Seems more like just a bounce only.. I'd much rather look at SG market now
