WEEX Daily Market Highlights | 2026.08.04

This brief focuses on institutional crypto allocation, U.S. manufacturing data, Dell earnings as a test of AI server demand, and Tesla’s autonomy-driven support for technology risk appetite. Since oil was already covered in yesterday’s brief, today’s report avoids repeating the crude-oil theme. NVIDIA, China technology shares, South Korean semiconductor exports and Broadcom’s market-highlight item have been removed, with Broadcom kept only in Today’s Preview.

This edition focuses on crypto fund flows, geopolitical risk, the AI supply chain and semiconductor capital expenditure. Bitcoin spot ETF flows turned negative, while oil prices moved back above $90 as U.S.-Iran tensions escalated. Marvell Technology beat earnings expectations, but the market remained concerned about the timing of large-order realization. SK Hynix is advancing its U.S. HBM advanced-packaging capacity, keeping the AI supply chain and energy risk premium at the center of market pricing.

NVIDIA’s strong results and higher guidance reinforced expectations for continued AI infrastructure spending, while Salesforce’s earnings supported a recovery in enterprise-software sentiment. Bitcoin remained range-bound at elevated levels, with AI meme and privacy-coin sectors leading gains. Semiconductor, crude-oil and natural-gas assets also rebounded, while Jackson Hole policy communication and upcoming Marvell Technology and Workday earnings remained the key catalysts.

Global markets focused on a strong rebound in crypto assets and upcoming U.S. technology earnings. Bitcoin peaked above $81,000 before consolidating at elevated levels, while Ethereum also advanced. Chinese meme tokens and the Layer-2 sector remained active. Technology and semiconductor stocks rebounded ahead of NVIDIA’s earnings, with investors assessing AI infrastructure demand, customer capital expenditure, and earnings conversion. Moderna’s vaccine progress and the decline in crude oil also created significant volatility across related sectors.

Global markets delivered mixed signals. Bitcoin and Ethereum strengthened as institutional flows into spot ETFs supported a recovery in crypto risk appetite, while the Robinhood ecosystem and NFT sector also remained active. In technology, NVIDIA continued to weaken ahead of its earnings release, with investors focused on AI returns, customer capital expenditure, and order execution. PDD Holdings saw significant volatility after reporting results, while Applied Optoelectronics came under pressure following its large equity financing announcement. Investors are also awaiting new rate-path signals from the Jackson Hole Economic Symposium.

Global markets consolidated over the weekend. SanDisk benefited from strong AI data-center demand, long-term customer contracts, and improving expectations for the storage supply-demand balance. SpaceX-related names also performed well. Precious metals held near elevated levels, while Bitcoin moved toward $75,000 and continued to support crypto-financial stocks. Markets are now focused on Pinduoduo’s earnings and the impact of future rate expectations on technology and small-cap valuations.

U.S. major indexes closed lower yesterday. Walmart’s weaker-than-expected same-store sales and guidance weighed on the consumer sector and dragged the three major averages lower. Silver and platinum rose sharply, supported by lower yields from expanded long-bond buybacks and a softer dollar. Bitcoin climbed toward $75,000, lifting crypto-related equities. Markets are now focused on the August S&P Global Manufacturing and Services PMI flash readings due on August 21 U.S. Eastern Time, which will directly influence September rate-path pricing.

Expanded U.S. Treasury long-bond buybacks helped pull yields lower and supported a modest rebound in risk appetite, with the major indexes closing slightly higher. At the same time, Bitcoin briefly rose above $70,000 and lifted crypto-linked equities, while positive Phase 3 vaccine data from Merck and Moderna pushed healthcare and biotech stocks higher. SK Hynix’s large-scale buyback also kept attention on the storage cycle and AI-related demand. Markets are continuing to digest the relatively hawkish Fed minutes while positioning ahead of earnings from Alibaba and Walmart.

Long-end U.S. Treasury yields surged to multi-year highs, pressuring technology, semiconductor, storage, and optical communication stocks and driving a clear cooling in market risk appetite. At the same time, Anthropic’s revenue came in below some bullish expectations, prompting investors to reassess the AI growth narrative; Unitree Robotics officially listed on the STAR Market, extending momentum in robotics and embodied AI; while SpaceX and other commercial space names showed relative resilience. Investors are now focused on tonight’s Federal Reserve minutes for clearer signals on the policy path and broader market sentiment.
