🎁 Read, Comment & Earn Tiger Coins! Why did Kioxia rise while Samsung and SK hynix fell after the yen intervention? Read on to understand the different market drivers, then join the discussion at the end for a chance to earn Tiger Coins. 🪙 The United States and Japan recently intervened to support the yen, pulling USD/JPY down from nearly 164 to around 155 before it rebounded toward 157–158.

Nine Keys to H2 2026
1. Soft Landing Remains the Base Case, but Inflation & Geopolitical Risks Persist Standard Chartered CIO maintains a soft-landing view supporting risk assets, while Seeking Alpha analysts warn that persistent inflationary pressures from geopolitical tensions and supply shocks could push both rates and market volatility higher in H2. 2. $S&P 500(.SPX)$ Targets: Bullish 7,950 vs. Bearish 10-12% Correction Warning Standard Chartered is bullish on global equities (up 12%+ YTD), setting an S&P 500 target of 7,950 by mid-2027. Seeking Alpha contributors are cautious, forecasting a 10-12% H2 pullback. They argue the current bull is "naked" — the AI and chip bubble is nearing its peak. 3.
