From EVs to Humanoids: Can China’s Carmakers Find Their Next Growth Engine?
China’s electric-vehicle market is entering a tougher stage. Domestic passenger-car sales fell 23.7% year on year in August, while domestic EV and plug-in hybrid sales declined 10.1%. Exports remain a bright spot, with passenger-vehicle exports rising 77.5% and EV and plug-in hybrid exports climbing 154.7%, but intensifying competition at home is putting greater pressure on automakers to find new sources of growth. For the stock market, this makes the industry’s expanding push into humanoid robotics increasingly relevant. Companies including $XPeng Inc.(XPEV)$, BYD, Chery and GAC are trying to extend capabilities developed for intelligent vehicles—such as AI, batteries, sensors, autonomous systems and advanced manufacturing—into ro

Tuesday's Chip Rally Ran on Someone Else's News. Micron's Own Never Made the Close.
All three indexes closed lower on Tuesday, the Dow worst of them at 1.18 per cent, $S&P 500(.SPX)$ down 0.58 per cent and $NASDAQ(.IXIC)$ Composite down 0.32 per cent. Chips went the other way on the same day: Intel put on 9.05 per cent to close at US$104.47, back above US$100 and the biggest gain in the row. The indexes went one way and the chips went the other, and that is the split this day comes down to. What pushed the indexes down was oil. WTI moved above US$94 and Brent came close to US$99, and what pushed oil up were attacks in the Middle East. The attacks fell over the weekend, so they were not in Friday's closing prices and only arrived at Tuesday's open. The

If I had to pick one stock for my watchlist, I’d go with $Dell Technologies Inc.(DELL)$ . Record AI server orders and a massive backlog show that enterprise AI capex remains strong. If AI infrastructure demand continues expanding, I believe DELL still has room for further earnings upgrades. That said, I wouldn’t chase it simply because it’s at a new high. Much of the AI growth story may already be priced in, so I’d watch order growth, margins and backlog conversion. A pullback without fundamental deterioration could offer a better entry. I also like $Halozyme Therapeutics(HALO)$ and
TOPlolmei: HALO and RPRX do give more downside cushion through royalty cash flows, but I still get why DELL leads for growth. The mix really comes down to how much cyclicality you want.

Elliott Wave View: S&P 500 (SPX) Concluding Impulsive Advance Before Larger Correction
The short-term Elliott Wave view for the S&P 500 (SPX) indicates that the cycle from the June 9 low is approaching maturity. The structure is close to completing a five-wave impulsive sequence. From that low, wave (i) ended at 7579.93, followed by a corrective decline in wave (ii) that finished at 7313.92. The Index then advanced in wave (iii), reaching 7816.7, as shown in the one-hour chart. A subsequent pullback unfolded, and wave (iv) is proposed to have completed at 7611.07. At this stage, the Index must break above the prior peak at 7816.7 to to rule out a double correction. In the near term, as long as the pivot at 7611.07 remains intact, the expectation is for the Index to extend higher. This move would complete wave (v) and finalize the cycle from the June 9 low. Once wave (v)
TOP7611.07 is the line that matters here. If that gives way, the wave iv double correction case starts looking a lot more likely, and the reset probably drags longer than a clean three-wave pullback.

I would choose C: AAPL stays between $310 and $330 in the near term. The biggest risk for Apple is not a weak product launch, but expectations that are already too high. With AAPL up nearly 20% YTD, investors may have already priced in a major AI upgrade, the foldable iPhone, and a strong first impression from John Ternus. If Apple simply delivers what the market expects, profit-taking could easily trigger a classic “Sell the News” reaction. However, I would not interpret a short-term pullback as a bearish signal. The real question is whether the new products can create a stronger upgrade cycle. A surprisingly aggressive foldable price, better-than-expected shipment targets, or genuinely useful Apple Intelligence features could quickly change sentiment. So my base case is short-term volat
TOPNear term I’m with the consolidation view. Foldable pricing and shipment guidance matter more than the keynote hype here — if either comes in soft, Apple probably just chops around.

I’d watch sugar, palm oil and agricultural commodities first. They’re already showing strength, so the key is whether weather disruptions translate into lower production and tighter inventories. That would make the move more fundamental than a short-term expectations trade. I’d then watch fertilizer and agricultural inputs. If crop prices remain elevated, stronger farm economics could support planting and fertilizer demand. I’d want to see this confirmed by planting data and earnings. Ultimately, food-company margins would be the biggest signal for me. If higher commodity costs persist and companies start flagging input-cost pressure, it would suggest agricultural inflation is spreading into the broader economy. That’s when I’d take the El Niño theme much more seriously.
TOPFertilizer demand probably needs an inventory check first. If dealer stocks stay high, elevated crop prices may not translate into a real restock cycle yet

I’m leaning toward A: $Apple(AAPL)$ breaks above $330, but I expect some volatility immediately after the event. With the stock already up strongly this year, a “Sell the News” dip is definitely possible if Apple simply meets expectations. For me, the key catalyst is the foldable iPhone and AI upgrades. If Apple surprises positively on pricing, demand or Apple Intelligence, I think the market could look beyond a short-term pullback and re-rate the stock higher. I’d therefore focus less on the first-day reaction and more on the next 1–2 months. Historically, Apple’s post-event weakness hasn’t necessarily stopped a stronger medium-term trend, so I’m staying cautiously bullish rather than chasing the initial move.
TOPI care way less about the first day too. Foldable plus on-device AI matters more if it deepens the ecosystem and keeps upgrade cycles alive.

For me, AI monetisation remains the biggest Q4 theme. AI infrastructure spending is still strong, but the market is becoming more demanding about whether that spending translates into real revenue, margins and free cash flow. I’ll be watching semiconductors, data-center power and utilities closely. That said, interest rates and inflation could determine how far the AI trade can run. Higher oil prices and Treasury yields could pressure valuations, especially for high-growth stocks. Fed decisions and inflation data will therefore be key catalysts for me. Overall, I’m cautiously bullish heading into Q4, but I expect more volatility. If earnings continue to validate AI spending while rates remain manageable, I think the broader AI ecosystem—not just the mega-cap tech names—could continue to o

With $TENCENT(00700)$ aggressively expanding from foundational AI models into custom silicon architecture, the narrative of absolute dominance by NVIDIA has begun to crack.

🌟🌟🌟The battle is on which company can beat $Apple(AAPL)$ new foldable phone. Can Huawei & Xiaomi do it? Huawei commands the premium folding phone share in China with its tri-folding Huawei Mate XT2. Xiaomi has the Xiaomi 18 Fold. CEO Lei Jun says that this new phone has several advantages over Apple. It weighs less than 8 ounces, measures less than a quarter inch thick when unfolded. The phone has Xiaomi's XRing O3 AI processor which outperforms Apple's A19 Pro Max responsiveness. Xiaomi is definitely taking action & fighting for a seat at the top end of the premium phones. In the short term, Xiaomi's share price maybe volatile but in the long term it will trend upwards as it is one of China's best innovative comp

I’d choose C. AUD 10,000. My understanding is that the margin limit represents the amount I’m potentially able to borrow, not money I have already borrowed. Simply having an approved limit does not mean I’m carrying a loan. If my account has an AUD 50,000 margin limit but I’ve only actually used AUD 10,000, margin interest should be calculated on the AUD 10,000 actually borrowed, rather than the full approved limit. The remaining AUD 40,000 is simply unused financing capacity, so I wouldn’t expect interest to be charged on it. For me, the key takeaway is that a margin facility provides flexibility when opportunities arise, but it’s important to distinguish available buying power from actual borrowing. Once I draw on margin, I need to factor in the interest cost as well as the additional r
TOPDaily compounding is the part people miss. Borrowing 10k sounds manageable, but if volatility keeps you in margin longer, the real cost creeps up fast
