At the end of May 2023, around $1.3 trillion in assets under management (AUM) across various ETFs are linked to MSCI indices. These ETFs are managed passively, meaning that investment decisions are not made by the managers themselves. Instead, they rely entirely on the calculations provided by the MSCI indices to determine capital allocation. Consequently, when MSCI adds or removes a stock from its index, the corresponding ETFs will buy or sell that stock accordingly. This demonstrates the significant influence of MSCI as an indexer, capable of impacting markets through its index adjustments. Back in 2008, the assets under management (AUM) of ETFs following MSCI indices amounted to a mere $119 million. Since then, it has expanded significantly, surpassing a growth rate of 17% annually and

Nasdaq100 is likely to end its weekly bull microchannel (repeated failure to break prior week low) this week. Hence, I am expecting QQQ to go below 360.22 soon. Nasdaq100 mid-price and S&P500 Aug 2022 high are two price magnets as they are key price levels. Hence, I am expecting QQQ to be attracted to 359.76 and SPY to 431.73 before June ends. 

$YANGZIJIANG SHIPBLDG HLDGS LTD(BS6.SI)$  once again won orders from a Norway based customer - Klaveness Combination Carriers to build 3 more combination carriers due in 2026.  So what had YZJ been doing right to encourage repeat patronization from its customer? 1) Combination carriers are run more efficiently than single purpose vessels. Also, the new vessels to be delivered by YZJ offers better fuel-efficient solution propelled by wind assistance, hence driving cost down for customer. 2) The way the combination carrier is designed also helped to lower the carbon footprint as there is reduced idle sailing involved. With that, YZJ Shipbuilding might be well positioned to meet its win target of USD3Billion for

The Federal Reserve maintained its position and met market expectations during the June meeting. However, the major change was a significant upward adjustment in the dot plot, with the Fed now expecting two more interest rate hikes within the year, which exceeds market expectations. This hawkish stance is driven by the resilience of the US economy and persistent inflation, especially stubborn core inflation, which has compelled the Fed to consider raising interest rates. Nonetheless, the Fed doesn't want to hike too quickly, hence they have chosen a "steady progress" approach for now and refrained from raising rates in June.Overall, we believe the Fed has a strong inclination to continue raising rates if the upcoming data remains stable. For instance, if GDP, unemployment rate, and other d

A small uptick has broken the decline that sportswear brand $Nike(NKE)$ has experienced for over a month. Many investors are still reeling from the March financial report.It must be said that there is a significant difference in performance among companies in the consumer discretionary sector, which can be attributed to the following factors. Firstly, different industries are affected differently in an inflationary cycle. The industry determines the foundation of a company, so even the most outstanding companies in their respective industries find it difficult to resist the impact of inflationary cycles. That's why consumer discretionary is also known as "cyclical" sectors, including restaurants, automobiles, e-commerce, travel, home furnishings, a

On June 14th, despite the FOMC meeting during the trading session, the market reaction was not as significant as expected, considering the anticipation of "skipping the rate hike in June but adopting a hawkish tone." However, there was a collective decline in one sector (in stark contrast to the glory of the chip industry), which was healthcare insurance. The main reason was that the CEO of $UnitedHealth(UNH)$ stated during an $Goldman Sachs(GS)$ conference that the healthcare insurance costs this year would be at the upper limit of expectations, or even surpass them. This implies that healthcare insurance companies will experience increased expenses, which will impact their profit margins. As a result, seve

$Nasdaq100 Bull 3X ETF(TQQQ)$  "Disinflationary process" is taking place in the US economy right now. Although there are reports that Fed might pause its interest hike, inflation is still coming down very slowly. History has shown that softening stance from Fed may lead to higher inflation. The central bank was now aggressively increasing interest rates to bring inflation back to around 2 percent, its long-established target. If the Fed failed to get inflation lower, it would damage its credibility and sow doubts about its ability to guide the economy. On the other hand, the economy and job market are still going strong and the next million dollars question in everyone's mind is what action is Fed going to take next?

Wednsday, FOMC will announce the June interest rate decision. Before that, the May CPI data, especially the core CPI, released on Tuesday (June 13th), will serve as the final important guidance. Apart from investors' focus on whether the Federal Reserve's monetary policy will "pivot," they will also pay attention to the dot plot of interest rates and the summary of economic projections. Of course, Powell's remarks at the post-meeting press conference are also essential.Currently, there is a relatively high consensus in the market regarding the expectations for the June FOMC meeting. The baseline scenario is that the Federal Reserve will "skip" the rate hike in June and maintain the status quo, but at the same time, it will emphasize that this round of rate hikes is not yet over, hinting at

Good day to everyone
