Can TSMC's Record June Sales Steady the Chip Selloff? Korea Shakes Chip Sentiment Global technology sentiment weakened after $Samsung Electronics (005930.KR)$ and $SK Hynix (000660.KR)$ sold off sharply in Seoul. $SK hynix(SKHY)$   faced profit taking following its strong Nasdaq debut, while investors also questioned whether HBM4 shipments had increased as quickly as expected during the second quarter. Rising oil prices and geopolitical tensions added to the broader risk reduction. The selloff raised a larger question: has semiconductor sentiment weakened faster than the underlying AI demand? TSMC Delivers a Strong Counter Signal $Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing(TSM)$ 

SK Hynix's Record 15.4% Drop: Is the AI Memory Trade Starting to Crack? $SK hynix(SKHY)$   suffered its worst trading day since its 1996 listing on Monday, plunging 15.4% in its largest one-day decline on record. The broader KOSPI fell 8.95% and triggered a 20-minute trading halt, while Samsung Electronics dropped more than 10%. The scale of the selloff cannot be explained by geopolitics alone. Higher oil prices provided the immediate shock, but the deeper pressure came from profit-taking after SK Hynix's Nasdaq debut, softer earnings upgrades and rising concerns over the sustainability of AI infrastructure financing. Geopolitical Tensions and Oil Shock Renewed US-Iran hostilities pushed Brent crude up more than 4%, reviving concerns ove

AMAT Rose 300%+ to a Record, Then Fell. What Its Chart Says Now It's no secret that semiconductor-related stocks like Applied Materials have had a pretty rough week or so, with AMAT falling more than 20% after hitting an all-time high just on June 30. Let's see what Applied Materials' chart and fundamental analysis say could happen next with the semiconductor-equipment maker's stock. Applied Materials' Fundamental Analysis Semiconductor stocks have mostly been on a tear in 2026, with the $Philadelphia Semiconductor Index(SOX)$   hitting an all-time high on June 22 after rising 106.9% year to date. But the sector pulled back in recent days and weeks, with the SOX giving back some 12% since June 22. The $Dow J

SK Hynix's Nasdaq Debut Sends Options Traders Piling Onto DRAM ETF $SK hynix(SKHY)$  's trading debut on the Nasdaq has bolstered the appeal of $Roundhill Memory ETF(DRAM)$   to retail investors, strengthening the case for using options as insurance to protect their gains from a 121% rally since the ETF started trading three months ago. The American depositary receipts of the South Korean memory maker climbed 12.8% Friday to close at $168.01. A day earlier, DRAM attracted a net inflow of $437.08 million, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. That took the fund's total assets to $24.3 billion, soaring from just $272 million when it first listed on April 2.   Open interest, or th

Meta Shares Jump 6%, Intensifying the Risk of a Short Squeeze $Meta Platforms, Inc.(META)$   jumped another 6% Friday, compounding the risk of a short squeeze that sent bears retreating a day earlier when the company outlined plans to further monetize its huge spending in artificial intelligence infrastructure.  Trading in borrowed shares that were sold short more than doubled to 2.95 million shares Thursday, when the stock jumped 4.7%. The latest daily short volume accounted for about 11.1% of the total number of shares that changed hands that day, higher than the 8.01% average. A short squeeze happens when traders who bet against a stock are forced to buy it back as the price rises. That buying pushe

Can Anthropic Single-handedly Save the Entire AI Industry Chain? SemiAnalysis recently reported that Anthropic is projected to achieve $1 billion in GAAP EBITDA by the third quarter of 2026, translating to a profit margin of approximately 6%. Meanwhile, its Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) has surged from $9 billion at the end of 2025 to over $60 billion currently. If Anthropic maintains a monthly Net New ARR (NNARR) pace of around $15 billion, its ARR could reach $300 billion by the end of 2027. This would correspond to a $6 trillion enterprise value, making it the most valuable company in the world, according to SemiAnalysis. Anthropic confidentially filed for an IPO on June 1st. Its superior financial metrics and business model suggest it should go public before OpenAI to seize the initia

The Trade After the Trade: When the Hype Fades, Where Does the Money Actually Go? SpaceX made it onto the index. Then it made a different kind of history. The stock's post-inclusion slide has become one of the more talked-about trades of the summer — not because anyone is shocked that a hyped debut pulled back, but because of how fast the crowd moved on.  Meanwhile, the semiconductor names that carried the first half are starting to look tired. Goldman's Tony Pasquariello is flagging sentiment at a 98th-percentile extreme. And Morgan Stanley's Michael Wilson just called semis a silver-like parabolic trade running out of runway.  Neither is calling the AI cycle dead. Both are saying the easy part is over. Falling Like a Rocket...? The excitement around 

Meta Draws Fresh Bullish Options Bets. Is More Upside Ahead? On Tuesday, $Meta Platforms, Inc.(META)$   once climbed more than 4% at its intraday high, outperforming most mega-cap technology stocks. The company officially launched its AI image generation model, Muse Image, and revealed that it is developing Muse Video, further demonstrating its commitment to expanding its AI product ecosystem and reinforcing investor confidence in its long-term AI strategy. Meanwhile, the options market saw several institutional-sized trades, suggesting that smart money continues to position for Meta's performance over the coming weeks. Institutional Positioning Remains Bullish The most notable trade of the day was an

Will SK hynix ADRs Get a TSMC-Like Premium? $SK hynix(SKHY)$   is expected to start Nasdaq trading on July 10. SK hynix's Nasdaq listing is more than just a new ticker. It could become a real-world test of how U.S. investors value one of the most important companies in the AI memory supply chain. The company is already listed in Korea $SK Hynix (000660.KR)$ , so this is not its first public listing. But ADR trading on Nasdaq under the expected ticker $SK hynix (SKHY.US)$ should make it easier for U.S. investors to buy the stock in dollars, compare it with Micron, and follow the HBM story more directly. The TSMC premium playbook $Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing(TSM)$  </

SpaceX Liquidity Timeline | Passive Index Inflows & Multi-Stage Lock-Up Expiry Analysis Elon Musk's $Space Exploration Technologies Corp(SPCX)$   is set to be officially added to the Nasdaq-100 Index before the U.S. market opens on July 7. Taking less than a month from its Nasdaq debut on June 12 to its inclusion in this core tech index, SpaceX has set a record as the fastest addition since the Nasdaq-100 was established. This rapid inclusion was made possible by the index rule adjustments implemented by Nasdaq on May 1 of this year. Under the new rules, mega-cap new listings with a market cap ranking in the top 40 of the index can apply for inclusion just 15 trading days after their debut, replacing the previous requirement of a min
