To The Moon

On September 16, 2026, the Federal Reserve delivered a landmark policy pivot by raising its benchmark overnight interest rate by 25 basis points to a target range of 3.75%–4.00%. Marking the central bank's first-rate increase since July 2023, this unanimous 12–0 vote brings a definitive end to the brief period of monetary easing that concluded in late 2025. Prompted by sticky core price pressures—evidenced by August headline CPI holding at 3.4% YoY and monthly inflation ticking up to 0.4%—the Fed signalled that price stability remains its overriding imperative. Market reaction was swift yet subtle: U.S. equities pulled back, led by growth sectors, while benchmark Treasury yields declined from pre-meeting highs as investors digested a hawkish dot plot projecting at least one additional hike

On September 15, 2026, the U.S. Senate failed to advance the landmark Digital Asset Market Structure and Clarity Act (H.R. 3633) in a narrow 49–50 procedural vote, falling eleven votes short of the 60-vote threshold needed to invoke cloture. Driven by partisan impasses over executive ethics provisions, consumer safeguards, and bank protectionism, the vote effectively shuts the door on comprehensive federal market-structure legislation until at least 2027. In this article we would like to look at how this Cloture defeat would have on market impact and repricing, and also what will happen to stablecoin policy and yield ban moving forward, and lastly, the corporate resilience and strategy. Market Impact & Repricing: The immediate fallout was swift and severe across digital asset markets.

Dear @WallStreet_Tiger thank you for picking my article, hope the article can help fellow tigers look at a different perspective

Recent sharp drawdowns across memory chipmakers and broader Artificial Intelligence (AI) market darlings have unnerved market participants, raising urgent questions regarding whether price-driven growth has reached its structural limits. In this article, we will be sharing how we analyse whether market price-driven growth is fundamentally broken and evaluates the tactical merit of rotating into defensive sectors while waiting for a technology recovery. Key Findings: First, market price-driven growth remains intact but is undergoing a critical transition from "speculative multiple expansion" to "fundamental ROI proof." The sell-off in memory and AI hardware reflects cyclical capacity digestion, elevated consensus expectations, and monetization scrutiny rather than an existential crisis. Mem

The intraday surge of the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield to 5.00% marks a structural milestone for capital markets, redefining the risk-free rate and recalibrating global asset pricing. Yields of this magnitude compress stock valuation multiples by elevating discount rates—most severely impacting high-growth technology equities whose cash flows reside far in the future. Simultaneously, 5% Treasuries present a fierce "risk-free" alternative to equities, contracting the Equity Risk Premium (ERP) toward historic lows and triggering systemic asset reallocation across institutional portfolios. In this article, we will be sharing these key highlights: Theoretical Valuation Framework (DCF & CAPM), Equity Volatility Transmission Channels and Constructing the Tech + Yield ETF Barbell Portfolio. 1.

On September 14, 2026, U.S. stock markets experienced a sharp, highly concentrated pullback, driven by an artificial intelligence (AI) hardware selloff after prominent industry leaders—most notably Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei—advocated for a temporary slowdown in frontier model development over safety and systemic risk concerns. In this article, we will be discussing how the AI realignment is happening, how we can look out for market rotation, what is the impact of Fed Rate outlook? Lastly would be about Portfolio Strategy & 3 ETFs. 1. The Catalyst: The September 14 AI Selloff & Macro Backdrop The global equity selloff on Monday, September 14, 2026, marked a significant inflection point in market sentiment. The primary catalyst was an unexpected essay published by Anthropic CEO Dari

With market-derived probabilities for a 25-basis-point Federal Reserve interest rate increase hovering near 90%, financial markets have largely internalized the immediate mechanistic effect of the upcoming monetary tightening. Historically, when a central bank decision is overwhelmingly priced into futures markets, the policy action itself rarely triggers an immediate downward shock in U.S. equities. U.S. equities are unlikely to suffer a major downward shock from the rate hike itself, as the projected 25-basis-point increase is already heavily priced into the market. In this article, we would like to share what we think navigating market pricing, big tech AI moderation and how defensive rotations would be like ahead of the Federal Reserve interest rate decision. 1. Market Pricing and the

As hyperscale technology conglomerates — such as Microsoft, $Alphabet(GOOGL)$ Alphabet, $Amazon.com(AMZN)$ Amazon, and Meta—signal potential moderation or pacing adjustments in their capital expenditure (capex) growth rates, public markets have begun pricing in an inevitable AI infrastructure "reality check." In this article, we will be looking at how to navigate the AI Capex deceleration, as deceleration in hyperscale AI capex does not mark the end of the semiconductor super-cycle; 1. The Capex Reality Check: Why Hyperscalers Are Recalibrating AI Infrastructure Spend The primary catalyst behind market anxiety regarding semiconductor stocks is the widening gap between hyperscaler infrastructure capex and

During the week of September 7 to September 11, 2026, caution dominated U.S. financial markets as major equity indices experienced widespread selling pressure. The benchmark $S&P 500(.SPX)$ S&P 500 closed down 1.15% at $764.29, reflecting heightened risk aversion among institutional and retail investors alike. This market retreat was triggered by a complex confluence of persistent core inflation readings, softening employment revisions, and increasing ambiguity surrounding the Federal Reserve's monetary policy path for the remainder of 2026. 1. Market Recap: The Week of September 7–11, 2026 The trading week spanning September 7 to September 11, 2026, served as a definitive turning point for U.S. equity markets, ending a summer period chara

The global semiconductor market is experiencing a structural metamorphosis, propelled by an unprecedented demand surge for High Bandwidth Memory (HBM). Driven by the rapid, global expansion of Artificial Intelligence (AI) infrastructure, cloud hyperscalers are acquiring advanced memory chips at an unprecedented rate. This surge has triggered substantial price increases across dynamic random-access memory (DRAM) and NAND flash memory markets. Despite recent share price volatility caused by macro headwinds and localized supply disruptions, structural analysis indicates that the memory super-cycle remains intact and is positioned to extend into late 2027 or early 2028. 1. Introduction: Deconstructing the Memory Super-Cycle Memory markets have historically been characterized by extreme cyclica
