Last week U.S. indices ended the holiday-shortened week on a cautiously optimistic note. $S&P 500(.SPX)$ rose 0.3%, and the $NASDAQ(.IXIC)$ climbed 1.1%, both buoyed by resilient tech sector gains and surging rate-cut expectations after a weak August jobs report added just 22,000 positions and pushed unemployment to 4.3%, the highest since 2021. The$Dow Chemical(DOW)$ slipped about 0.3% as investors pondered the potential effects of impending Fed policy moves.
Hong Kong markets extended their advance into the month’s first week. The $HSI(HSI)$ Index closed Friday up approximately 1.4% at 25,418, led by strength in tech and mainland-linked sectors. Notably, heavyweight names like Alibaba surged ~17–18% on the opening trading day, reinforcing market momentum despite ongoing geopolitical and economic uncertainties.
Competition Highlights:
🔹 Most-traded stock :$Micron Technology(MU)$
Micron became the most-traded stock as investors actively positioned ahead of its earnings outlook and broader semiconductor sector momentum. Strong demand for AI-driven memory chips, coupled with market speculation around pricing power in DRAM and NAND, fueled heavy trading volume. Traders viewed MU as a key proxy for gauging AI-related infrastructure demand, leading to heightened activity throughout the week.
🔹 Top-performing stock :$NVIDIA(NVDA)$
Nvidia outperformed as optimism around sustained AI demand continued to drive investor confidence. Positive analyst revisions and stronger-than-expected data center chip sales boosted sentiment, while NVDA remained the market’s leading beneficiary of the AI infrastructure boom, lifting its stock to the top of the performance charts.
