Weekly Five Key Areas: Earnings, Macro, Singapore Stocks, Options, Futures
Covering five major market segments this week to help you stay ahead of market trends and plan your trades effectively!
🌍 Monday — Macro Economy
Major U.S. equity indexes finished a volatile week mixed, as large-cap technology stocks suffered their worst week since November while small-cap and value-oriented stocks added to their year-to-date gains. Worries about the disruptive potential of artificial intelligence (AI), as well as concerns regarding potential overinvestment in the technology, weighed on many of the high-growth stocks that have outperformed in recent years. In contrast, some cyclical and value-oriented segments outperformed as investors seemed to rotate into the areas that have lagged firms with more AI exposure. Corporate earnings and geopolitical tensions also appeared to contribute to the week’s volatility.
Of the major indexes, the technology-heavy Nasdaq Composite performed worst, shedding 1.84%, while the S&P 500 Index finished little changed. On the other hand, the S&P MidCap 400 Index, Russell 2000 Index, and Dow Jones Industrial Average all posted solid gains. The Russell 1000 Value Index outpaced its growth counterpart by over 400 basis points (4.00 percentage points).
Later in the week, the Labor Department’s Job Openings and Labor Turnover Summary revealed that U.S. job openings declined to about 6.542 million in December—the lowest since September 2020—while hires edged up modestly and layoffs rose. Elsewhere, the Labor Department reported that initial U.S. jobless claims came in at 231,000 for the week ended January 31—above consensus estimates and an increase from the prior week’s reading of 209,000.
The week ahead: February 9-13

The Software Platform remains the main growth engine, with consensus calling for solid revenue growth and strong EBIT. Advertiser demand, ML-driven optimization, and pricing power in performance marketing will be closely watched, as margin resilience could help restore confidence.
That said, expectations remain high after last quarter’s beat. The market will focus on whether AppLovin can sustain growth and margins into 2026—a clean EPS beat could support a rebound, while any signs of slowing may keep the stock volatile.

Index level:
I would avoid chasing strength after record highs. Momentum is extended and flow-driven. Prefer buying only on pullbacks into support and taking profits quickly. If volatility compresses, range trading beats directional bets.
Big Tech positioning:
Alphabet: Relatively resilient. I would consider adding on weakness not tied to fundamentals.
Apple: Defensive relative play. Comfortable holding, but not chasing.
Amazon and Microsoft: Stay cautious. CapEx repricing likely not finished.
Meta: Trim into rallies rather than add.
Tesla: Trading vehicle only. Treat bounces as sell opportunities.
Risk mindset:
Smaller size, defined risk, and partial cash. The easy upside is behind us. I would let price come to me rather than force trades.
While US equity markets recently endured a volatile "AI reckoning" due to high capital expenditure concerns, sentiment is beginning to stabilize as the Dow Jones Industrial Average recently surpassed the historic 50,000 milestone.
Investors are shifting exposure away from tech giants toward cyclical sectors like industrials, financials, and basic materials, which are showing resilient profit outlooks for 2026.
