      🪙 Tiger Coins | Samsung Has the Technology. Why Is TSMC Still Winning?

      South Korea’s semiconductor industry is enjoying one of its strongest AI-driven booms. HBM, DRAM, advanced packaging and AI servers are all benefiting from the global infrastructure buildout. $SK hynix(SKHY)$ has become one of the biggest winners, and on August 19 announced a roughly KRW 40 trillion share repurchase covering about 24.07 million shares, which are expected to be cancelled. Yet $Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd.(SSNLF)$ faces a very different challenge: while AI demand is creating record opportunities for Korean semiconductors, Samsung’s foundry business is still struggling to convert technology into major customer orders. It is not that Samsung lacks technology.

      Two Day Roller Coaster: Moderna (MRNA) Deep Fundamental & Outlook Analysis

      The Coming-of-Age from "Pandemic Stock" to "mRNA Platform Titan" August 21, 2026 On August 19, $Moderna, Inc.(MRNA)$ 's stock price skyrocketed 177% in a single session, surging from $62.96 to $174.38. On August 20, it plummeted 23.6% to $133.32. Over the two days, the cumulative gain still stood at 111.7%, but $16.4 billion in market cap evaporated in a single day. This roller-coaster was not driven by a fundamental reversal, but rather by violent repricing of the mRNA platform's value by capital markets. For Moderna, August 2026 marks its official coming-of-age—from a "COVID beneficiary stock" to a "diversified mRNA platform company." For the XBI and broader biotech sector, it serves as a textbook demonstration of "sentiment contagion" and "risk

      Broadcom Set to Rewrite the AI Narrative: $588 Target Implies 50% Upside

      Amid the relentless AI infrastructure investment boom, one stock has remained conspicuously undervalued — $Broadcom(AVGO)$ . With shares up only about 13% year-to-date, the stock has significantly lagged its AI peers. Yet, as demand for custom AI accelerators (XPUs) explodes and partnerships with Google, Meta, OpenAI, and Anthropic deepen, Broadcom stands at a critical inflection point to redefine the AI supply chain. We are initiating coverage with a Strong Buy rating and a $588 price target, representing roughly 50% upside from current levels.

      AI Money Is Rotating — Not Leaving: Optical, Cloud, Storage or Software

      The current US stock market resembles a multi-faceted seesaw of optical, cloud, software, and hardware. Money hasn't truly left AI, but it's been constantly shifting between these sectors. The most typical example is the past two days. On the 12th, after Lumentum's earnings report, optical communications once again became the market focus. $Lumentum(LITE)$ 's latest quarterly revenue was $1.01 billion, a year-over-year increase of 109%. The midpoint of its next quarterly revenue guidance is around $1.25 billion, and management continues to emphasize the demand for high-speed optical connections in AI data centers. On the same day, CRWV and NBIS also performed strongly. $CoreWeave, Inc.(CRWV)$ 's second-qu

      My first resistance level for $SanDisk Corp.(SNDK)$ is still $1580-$1600

      Regarding $SanDisk Corp.(SNDK)$ 's recent surge, I'm leaning towards a more optimistic outlook. However, this optimism led to a sharp rise, making it a bit high in the short term. Therefore, I opened a short position in $SNDK. For highly volatile stocks like SanDisk, I now prioritize two things when choosing trading tools: whether I can act immediately upon news releases, and whether I can open a position when I actually need to. I've found MEXC quite convenient. SNDKUSDT allows 24/7 trading, and the position sizes at medium to high leverage levels are quite generous. For US stocks, which often experience sudden news releases and volatility before and after the market opens, I think this is more practical than simply increasing leverage. First, le

      Oracle +5%, Bets on Quantum: Cloud Infrastructure's Most Undervalued Dark Horse?

      Oracle (ORCL): AI Infrastructure Landscape, Competition, Capital Deployment, Valuation & Partnership Ecosystem Conclusion Bias: $Oracle(ORCL)$ 's valuation does not fully reflect the explosive potential of its AI infrastructure business. A Forward P/E of 11.6x for a company with IaaS growth of 93% and RPO growth of 363% represents a clear "valuation mismatch." However, high leverage and negative free cash flow are real financial risks, making it suitable for growth-oriented investors who can tolerate volatility. If you believe AI compute demand will continue to explode and multi-cloud strategies will become the enterprise standard, Oracle (ORCL) is one of the most attractively positioned large-cap tech stocks on a risk-adjusted return basis.

      Citigroup Research believes the upward trend in precious metals is not yet over, with silver continuing to follow gold's direction and exhibiting a more aggressive upward movement due to its higher volatility. If the situation in the Strait of Hormuz eventually de-escalates, coupled with a less hawkish stance from the Federal Reserve, investment demand for precious metals will continue to recover. Citigroup believes that short-term pullbacks do not change silver's position as a high-beta asset compared to gold. If easing geopolitical risks drive funds back into precious metals, silver could potentially rise to $95/oz by 2027. However, Citigroup also maintains a risk scenario. The bank believes there is still approximately a 20% probability that silver will fall to $50/oz, indicating that c

      Tonight at 20:30 SG Time: US July CPI Data Analysis

      @EraGrowth_Wealth
      The content is for research reference only on macro markets, CTA and quantitative trading mechanisms, and does not constitute investment advice. At 20:30 Singapore time tonight, the US will release its July CPI data. According to Reuters surveys, the market expects headline CPI to rise 0.1% month‑over‑month and 3.4% year‑over‑year; core CPI is projected to increase 0.2% MoM and 2.5% YoY. June’s headline CPI stood at 3.5% YoY. Tonight’s print will directly reshape market pricing for US inflation dynamics and the Federal Reserve’s policy path for September. That said, I believe what truly matters tonight is not simply whether CPI lands at 3.3%, 3.4% or 3.5%. A bigger risk variable may lie within the US Treasury market. The widely‑discussed “$400‑billion US Treasury short position” is, strict
