# Breakfast | "Smart Money" continues to short US stocks, Intel launches chip with performance exceeding H100

Good morning! A great day starts with making money.

Due to Hari Raya, the Singapore Stock Exchange is closed today.

### Overnight and This Morning Market Update

Ahead of the release of key US CPI inflation data on Wednesday, short sellers cautiously closed their positions, leading to a second consecutive decline in the Dow, while the S&P 500 and Nasdaq barely closed higher. Financial stocks became the biggest drag on the market.

Most tech giants closed higher, with Tesla up nearly 2%. Alphabet rose nearly 1.3%, marking a three-day consecutive increase and hitting a historical high; Microsoft rose 0.4%, Amazon rose nearly 0.3%. Nvidia fell by about 2%, Intel rose by 0.9%. SoundHound dropped by 3%.

US gold mining stocks collectively strengthened, with Coeur Mining (CDE.N) up 4%, Sibanye Stillwater up over 3%, and New Gold up over 5%.

Popular Chinese concept stocks overall maintained their upward momentum and outperformed the broader market. XPeng rose by 8.6%, Nio rose by nearly 7.8%, Li Auto rose by 1.7%, and Xiaomi fans' shares closed up by 1.2%. Bilibili rose by nearly 8%, NetEase rose by nearly 4%, JD.com and Pinduoduo rose by nearly 3%, and Alibaba rose by nearly 2%.

### Blue Chips and Hot Stocks

**Several Hong Kong stocks plummeted at the end of Tuesday**

China Tianrui Cement plummeted by 99.04% at the end of trading on heavy volume, with only HKD 24.38 million traded throughout the day. Haoxin Financial Technology plummeted by over 90%, with only HKD 0.6733 million traded all day. Ascendas Group plunged 50% at the end of trading.

The parent company Tianrui Group stated: "The reason is unclear, and the company's production and operation are normal." Analysts pointed out that it is suspected to be caused by a small shareholder's forced liquidation. At the same time, the general weak liquidity in the Hong Kong stock market and excessively small trading volume are also among the reasons for the plunge.

Ascendas Group announced that its business operations remain normal, and it is not aware of any reasons for the fluctuations. There have been no significant changes in its business operations and financial condition.

"Insiders" reported safety issues with Boeing's 787 Dreamliner, stating that various parts of the 787 fuselage are not correctly secured together, and the aircraft's maintenance and testing are also being done incorrectly. The whistleblower will testify at a Senate hearing on April 17.

**Goldman Sachs lowers Tesla's target price for the third time this year**

Maintaining a neutral rating on Tesla, and lowering the target stock price from $190 to $175. Car pricing and gross margins remain key factors affecting the stock price. The lasting profitability brought by FSD is still a key question mark, and the delayed launch of the $25,000 model will have a significant negative impact on Tesla.

Media: Apple may not hold a spring special event this year, but instead release new products directly through press releases.

NetEase's Interactive Entertainment Center has established a Blizzard China team, with the two sides having been in contact multiple times since the end of last year. The overall head is Zhang Fengyi, Vice President of NetEase Games, who was previously in charge of the "World of Warcraft" project.

**Cui Dongshu, Secretary-General of the China Passenger Car Association: Xiaomi Auto's product concept and marketing promotion are worth learning for automotive professionals** Frequent price reductions have had a significant impact on the profitability of car companies, already hurting the industry. In January and February, the profit of the automotive industry has dropped to 4.3%, reaching a historical low, nearly halving from the previous 8% profit level. This price war has also put significant pressure on the supply chain.

Blackstone Group is close to finalizing a deal to privatize L'Occitane, potentially ending the global cosmetics company's 14-year listing on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.

### Macro: Taking You Around the World

Boston Fed: Postponing or advancing interest rate cuts are both possible.

**Institutional Analysis: Extreme momentum changes in the US stock market bring about the risk of a pullback, with a trickle potentially turning into a flood**

As many top momentum stocks are the largest stocks, such as Nvidia and Meta (driving the current stock price decline), as momentum signals shift, the trickle of outflows may turn into a flood, leading to a market-wide decline.

**Expectations of Fed rate cuts have collapsed, "smart money" continues to short the stock market**

Goldman Sachs data shows that hedge funds sold global stocks for the second consecutive week last week, driven almost entirely by short selling, marking the largest selling pressure from hedge funds since mid-January.
