Despite the rising localization rate, global equipment suppliers remain key beneficiaries of China's capacity expansion in advanced processes. Goldman Sachs recommends Applied Materials, Lam Research, and Onto Innovation.

Odaily News: CZ responded to discussions about the "Memestock" model on the X platform, stating that the combination of Memecoin and tokenized stocks is an "innovative and interesting" development, but the key lies in whether issuers have the ability to honor their commitments.It is reported that some community users have shared their views on the "Memestock" trend, which combines Memecoin with tokenized stocks, allowing Memecoin holders to receive tokenized stock returns without any additional actions. This model introduces new utility value to Memecoins that previously lacked practical use cases, and the related innovations are currently concentrated mainly in the BNB Chain ecosystem.In response, CZ said: "This is indeed a new and interesting direction. But we need to ensure that issuers can truly fulfill their obligations."Some community users believe that the combination of Memecoin and Real World Asset (RWA) tokenization is exploring a shift from purely community-driven assets to digital assets with yield or equity attributes. However, tokenized stocks involve issues such as underlying asset custody, compliant issuance, and income distribution. The credibility of issuers and the regulatory framework will be key factors determining whether this model can achieve long-term development.

Odaily News, Tom Lee stated that next week could become an important "clearing event" for the US stock market, with the market reassessing enthusiasm for artificial intelligence (AI) investment and uncertainty surrounding Fed policy.Tom Lee pointed out that the core question for the market right now is whether investor confidence can be restored after the recent cooling of AI trading. AI-related stocks have seen stagnating performance recently, influenced by two main factors: on one hand, concerns over data center investment demand and profitability returns; on the other hand, certain political factors have added to the uncertainty in AI industry development.However, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang could be the key figure in reigniting market confidence. If Nvidia can demonstrate that demand for AI infrastructure remains strong, sustained order growth and market demand could drive capital back into the AI sector.Meanwhile, Tom Lee noted that uncertainty over the Fed's policy outlook continues to rise, and upcoming speeches by officials will be important signals for the market to gauge the interest rate path.Market participants believe that Nvidia-related news and Fed officials' statements next week could serve as key catalysts affecting tech stocks and overall risk assets. Investors will be watching whether the AI rally can regain upward momentum.
Odaily News: Iranian Foreign Minister Araghchi stated that Iran has never feared US sanctions, and all their actions—whether blockades or military operations—have failed, and this new trick is bound to fail as well. Trump's so-called "economic action" is nothing more than the bullying tactics consistently used in US policy. "In a sense, it's like a movie we've seen countless times before; we know how to respond."Araghchi noted that whether the US resorts to military operations or recycles old tactics, it proves they have run out of options. Facing the Iranian people, the US has no choice but to keep repeating the same plans. They should understand that there is no other way than engaging in respectful dialogue with the Iranian people and seeking solutions based on justice and honor. (CCTV News)
As reported by Bloomberg, South Korean financial regulators plan to enhance supervision over structured products including ELS starting next month. Brokerages will be required to issue warnings to investors when products near the principal loss trigger line (knock-in), and to reassess product design and distribution when changing market conditions lead to a marked increase in risk. With the Korean stock market experiencing significant volatility recently, retail investors' enthusiasm for high-risk investing has not noticeably waned. Following regulatory tightening on single-stock leveraged ETFs, a portion of capital has shifted to equity-linked securities (ELS) offering high "coupons". Data published by the Korea Financial Investment Association shows that ELS sales in South Korea reached 3.5 trillion won in July, marking its highest level in over three years since April 2023. ELS products underpinned by shares of Samsung Electronics and SK hynix were the primary drivers of this growth.
Odaily News - CryptoQuant analyst Darkfost stated on the X platform that the altcoin market has recently shown clear signs of recovery, with market structure undergoing changes, and "Altseason" may have entered its early stages. Data shows that from August 19 to 22, the total market cap of altcoins increased by approximately $215 billion, surging over 24% in just 3 days, pushing the total altcoin market cap back above $1 trillion.Darkfost pointed out that mid- and small-cap altcoins have performed the strongest in this rally. Due to their lower circulating market caps, these assets are more sensitive to capital inflows, while also carrying higher two-way volatility risks.Data from the Binance platform further reinforces the signals of an altcoin market recovery. Since last November, approximately 80% to 85% of altcoins have remained below the 200-day moving average (200-DMA), but currently 56% of Binance-listed altcoins have climbed back above this key technical indicator, suggesting the market may be entering a new cyclical phase.Darkfost believes this trend reversal is linked to a series of positive cryptocurrency signals recently released by Trump. On August 19, Trump stated that the U.S. would "massively purchase Bitcoin" and urged Congress to push through the CLARITY Act, while claiming his administration had ended previous unfriendly policies toward the crypto industry. These remarks boosted market sentiment, and against a backdrop of low trading volume and reduced selling pressure, substantial capital began flowing into the altcoin market, driving gains across multiple sectors simultaneously.Darkfost noted that from a historical perspective, the current broad-based altcoin rally is typically viewed as an important signal of the early stage of altseason. However, he also cautioned that the market has entered overbought territory in the short term, and investors should be wary of periodic pullbacks. If the overall upward momentum continues, new investment opportunities may still emerge down the road.
Odaily News: Robert Kiyosaki, author of "Rich Dad Poor Dad," posted on social platform X that the new round of quantitative easing (QE) policy in the United States could lead to a decline in the purchasing power of the US dollar and further push up inflation risks. After the US Treasury Department announced a new round of QE, the US dollar index (DXY) may weaken, which means inflation pressure will rise, and those holding cash dollar savings could become the biggest losers. He warned investors not to rely on depreciating fiat currencies but instead focus on assets that can appreciate over time.Robert Kiyosaki stated that financially literate investors tend to allocate assets such as gold, silver, Bitcoin, and certain real estate, while investors who lack financial education and hold "fake assets" for the long term may face a decline in their wealth. He once again emphasized the importance of financial education, citing his "Rich Dad" perspective: "The biggest cost is not the time and money spent on financial education, but the money that could have been earned but was missed."Analysis suggests that Robert Kiyosaki has long been bullish on inflation-resistant assets such as Bitcoin and gold, and has repeatedly criticized the US dollar credit system. However, his views on QE and dollar policy are personal market judgments, and the actual monetary policy path still depends on US economic data and Federal Reserve decisions.
