【AI and Semiconductor Sector Performance】
The AI and semiconductor sectors were active, with Nvidia up 1.13%, Micron Technology up 3.44%, and TSMC rising 2.36%. Despite Trump’s proposal to repeal the CHIPS Act causing market volatility, companies like Nvidia and Micron showed strong market performance, indicating long-term confidence in the chip industry. Nvidia's leadership in the GPU market and Micron's strong position in the storage market contributed positively to the sector's momentum.
【EVs, Weight Loss Drugs, and Oil Stocks Performance】
In the electric vehicle sector, Tesla rose 2.60%, with domestic players like XPeng Motors surging 7.17%. Weight loss drug stocks generally rose, with Novo Nordisk closing up 3.81%. In contrast, oil stocks generally fell, with ExxonMobil down 1.96%, mainly due to pressure on oil prices and uncertainty in global energy policies.
【Cryptocurrency and Meme Stocks】
Cryptocurrency-related stocks generally rose, with MicroStrategy seeing a substantial increase of 12.14%. Bitcoin's price breaking the $90,000 mark bolstered market confidence in cryptocurrencies. Meme stocks showed mixed performance, with AMC Theatres slightly down by 1.14% and GameStop up 3.11%.
【Gold Stocks and Other Sectors Performance】
Gold stocks generally rose, with Barrick Gold up 4.06%. Retail stocks showed mixed results, with Walmart and Costco both up 1.05%, but Target slightly down 0.50%. Vaccine stocks generally rose, with Moderna surging 15.94%, benefiting from its CEO's stock increase and the company's potential in the "AI + healthcare" field.
【Recommendations】
In light of global economic uncertainties, investors should focus on the long-term growth potential in the tech and renewable energy sectors while being cautious of the risks in traditional energy sectors. Allocating assets in cryptocurrencies and safe havens like gold could help diversify risk. Investors should closely monitor policy developments and changes in market sentiment to seize potential investment opportunities.
