AI Infrastructure Rally Broadens Beyond Chips: Where Are the Biggest Opportunities? After President Trump announced a peace agreement between the United States and Iran, market risk appetite rebounded sharply, triggering a broad rally across AI infrastructure stocks. Capital flowed back into the entire AI value chain—from memory and semiconductor equipment to power infrastructure and optical networking—as investors once again focused on the long-term AI capital expenditure (AI CapEx) theme. After today's powerful rally, is the AI trade just getting started? And more importantly, is it still a good time to buy? AI Infrastructure Sees Broad-Based Strength The AI ecosystem rallied across the board, with memory stocks leading the advance. $SanDisk Corp.(S

Could Micron Earnings Mark a Turning Point for Memory Stocks? $Micron Technology(MU)$  , the U.S. memory giant and the world's third-largest DRAM and fourth-largest NAND maker, will release its FY26Q3 earnings after the U.S. market close on June 24. Investors are focused on whether this report can mark a sentiment turning point in the memory cycle.

$Intel(INTC)$ used to be the old king of semiconductors. Then it became the fallen king. For years, investors looked at Intel and saw missed opportunities. It lost manufacturing leadership. It missed the first major wave of AI acceleration. $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ became the face of the AI boom. $Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing(TSM)$ became the world’s most important chip manufacturer. $Advanced Micro Devices(AMD)$ took share in CPUs. Intel, once the giant, became the turnaround story nobody wanted to fully trust. INTC Weekly Chart But recently, Intel has started rising again. Not because everything is fixed. Not because Intel h

Everyone talks about AI chips. $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ gets the spotlight. GPUs get the headlines. Data centers get the attention. But today’s market is telling us something very important: AI is not only a compute story. It is a memory story. $SK Hynix, Inc.(HXSCL)$ briefly overtook Samsung as South Korea’s most valuable company, powered by its dominance in high-bandwidth memory, or HBM. That is not a small event. Samsung has been the giant of Korean tech for decades. For SK Hynix to challenge that position shows how important memory has become in the AI era. At the same time, $Micron Technology(MU)$’s upcoming earnings are now being watched as a major test for the whole

$Bumitama Agri(P8Z.SI)$ 2.7 Target Price Bumitama Agri's stock outlook looks promising, with analysts predicting a positive trend.

For years, the market has fallen into a classic textbook fallacy regarding $Nokia Oyj(NOK)$, stubbornly misclassifying it as a dinosaur mobile vendor bound to cyclical hardware shifts rather than recognizing its modern evolution. In all honesty, Nokia is no longer a mobile phone company, nor is it a simple telecom service provider like $AT&T Inc(T)$ or $Verizon(VZ)$. Instead, the company has pivoted and evolved into a core network infrastructure architect, focusing heavily on : Specialized fiber-optic technologies. High-end routing hardware. The exact AI-optimized systems necessary to connect modern data centers. NOK's Q1 2026 financial results underscore this stru

The Fleet That Never Stops Paying Most investors still value ASML by asking a simple question: how many EUV machines will it ship next quarter? I think they are asking the wrong question. The real investment story begins after those machines leave the factory. Every lithography system entering production quietly expands an installed ecosystem requiring software upgrades, field servicing, productivity enhancements and process optimisation throughout its working life. Rather than behaving like a conventional capital equipment manufacturer, ASML is increasingly resembling the owner of an industrial platform whose economics improve with age.

Earnings Calendar (22Jun2026) I am interested in the earnings of FedEx, Carnival, Micron, Trip and BlackBerrry.

When businesses and consumers buy fewer goods, FedEx is often the first to notice.

The road to the Iran peace deal was an edgy affair that dragged on for months. The ceasefire that began back in April was only a temporary truce to give negotiations room to breathe, not peace itself. And even during that truce, there were enough sparks to derail the talks. Israel struck Lebanon, the US kept its naval blockade on Iran’s ports, missiles were still flying, and Trump pressured about attacking Iran. Messy. I’ll be honest, the timing made me raise an eyebrow. That recovery came right before Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, acting as lead mediator, announced that the US and Iran had agreed on the final text to end the war. Insider trading? I’m not saying that. But the sequence was convenient. Stocks pushed higher into 12 June, the day SpaceX made its blockbuster debut. P

The June 18, 2026 trading day gave investors plenty to digest. It functioned as a classic "tug-of-war" session where major geopolitical news managed to temporarily soothe a market deeply rattled by a newly hawkish Federal Reserve. Here is a breakdown of what happened on June 18, and what the macro picture looks like for the remainder of June and Q3. June 18 Market Breakdown The tech-heavy $NASDAQ(.IXIC)$ Nasdaq Composite and $S&P 500(.SPX)$ S&P 500 staged a robust intraday rebound on Thursday, heavily driven by massive moves in the semiconductor space and relief on the global front. 1.

The AI trade is no longer one simple trade. Earlier in the cycle, investors bought almost anything with “AI” attached to it. Chipmakers, cloud companies, software stocks, consultants, data-center suppliers, cybersecurity firms, and even companies with only a faint AI connection could ride the same wave. But the market is now becoming more selective. Today, investors are separating the AI winners into two very different buckets. The first bucket is AI hardware and infrastructure. These are the companies that build the physical foundation of AI: chips, memory, servers, networking, semiconductor equipment, and foundry capacity. The second bucket is AI services and consulting. These are the companies that help corporations plan, integrate, manage, or outsource technology projects. Right now, t

Most investors still analyse Starbucks as though it earns its living by selling lattes one cup at a time. I think that framework is becoming outdated. While near-term earnings remain under pressure from higher labour costs and ongoing operational investment, Starbucks is reshaping itself into something more valuable: a global consumer platform that increasingly resembles a royalty business. The market appears fixated on quarterly operating margins, but I believe the bigger story is that Starbucks’ economic model is becoming less dependent on store ownership and more reliant on monetising its brand, digital ecosystem and expanding licensed footprint. That distinction matters because businesses that earn royalties rather than directly operating every location tend to generate structurally hi

The Federal Reserve’s policy decision on Wednesday, June 17, 2026, marked a dramatic turning point for markets. While a rate hold was heavily expected, a surprisingly hawkish shift in the Fed's internal projections—coupled with major structural changes introduced by newly sworn-in Fed Chair Kevin Warsh—triggered a sharp midday reversal on Wall Street. Here is a breakdown of how the market performed, how investors reacted, and what to watch for over the next two days. Market Performance & Investor Reaction The market opened the session with modest gains but plummeted immediately following the 2:00 PM ET statement and Chair Warsh's subsequent press conference. Dow Jones Industrial Average: Slipped 507.12 points, or 1.0%, reversing a morning gain of 280 points.
