Investing Through The Fire - Why EIS ETF Still Shines Amid the Israel Iran Conflict
🌟🌟🌟When geopolitical tensions flare like the current conflict between Israel and Iran, most investors instinctively retreat.

Chip Happens: Why ASML and TSMC Could Be the Smartest AI Bets You’re Not Buying Yet
Silicon may be invisible, but these two companies are making an indelible mark on the AI era They’re Not the Stars—They’re the Stage Crew Running the Show While the market fawns over Nvidia like a rockstar, I’ve got my eye on the backstage crew: ASML and TSMC. These two companies don’t just ride the AI wave—they build the surfboard, shape the tide, and install the Wi-Fi at the beach. ASML, for the uninitiated, holds a monopoly on EUV lithography—an engineering miracle essential for making the smallest, most powerful chips. And TSMC? It’s the world’s dominant chip manufacturer, printing silicon for everyone from $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ and $Apple(AAPL)$ to AI-hungry hyperscalers with budgets that rival GDPs. The re

No Cut Strategy Is A Strategy. On Wed, 18 Jun 2025, US central bank stuck with its strategy of leaving its key interest rate unchanged, even as officials' expectations for the economy worsened. The decision marked the 4th in a row without action, keeping the bank's influential lending rate hovering around 4.3%, where it has stood since December 2024. (see below) The “highly expected no cut” came despite forecasts from policymakers expecting, (a) slower growth, (b) higher unemployment and (c) faster inflation, than they did just a few months ago. Impact on US Stock Market It will be another 40 days before the FOMC next convene on Jul 29-30. In the meantime, below is something that we could ‘possibly’ expect of the US market.

Can Stock Market Remain Stable Though Geopolitical and Fed Factors Added Complexity
On 18 June 2025, the stock market appeared stable though it experienced a largely mixed performance following the Federal Reserve's decision to hold interest rates steady. Investors were primarily focused on the Fed's updated economic projections and their implications for future monetary policy. Initial jobless claims marginally declined to 245,000, potentially indicating steady nonfarm payroll growth. Housing starts fell to their lowest since May 2020, with notable declines in both starts and permits. Overall Market Performance S&P 500 (SPX): Remained largely flat, closing down a fractional 0.03% at 5,980.87. Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJI): Slipped slightly, down 0.1% to 42,171.66. Nasdaq Composite (IXIC): Showed modest gains, rising 0.1% to 19,546.27. Russell 2000 (Small Caps):

OSCR - 50DMA provided a solid launchpad for the price
$Oscar Health, Inc.(OSCR)$ : The 50-day moving average (50DMA) provided a solid launchpad for the price, which has now broken out above the upper Bollinger Band. The current candle suggests a bullish continuation in the short term, a sentiment echoed by the MACD.However, the breakout's rapid pace has pushed the RSI into overbought territory. While previous moves above the Bollinger Band have led to pullbacks to the 50DMA, I anticipate consolidation rather than a significant dip in the near future.ImageFor whom haven't open CBA can know more from below:🏦 Open a CBA today and enjoy privileges of up to SGD 20,000 in trading limit with 0 commission.
