3. Market Observation
On August 19, the market’s core focus remained on technology stock valuations, US Treasury yields, and Federal Reserve policy expectations.
After the US Treasury expanded bond repurchase scale, pressure in the US Treasury market eased somewhat, with the 10-year Treasury yield briefly falling to about 4.65%. Sentiment in the technology sector improved, but after previous continuous adjustments, the market remains cautious about high-valuation AI stocks.
The retail sector also attracted attention. Target’s earnings beat expectations and raised guidance, while Lowe’s lowered its full-year outlook, reflecting ongoing divergence in the US consumer market.
4. Key Asset|NVDAUSDT
NVDA has recently seen significant adjustments along with the AI and semiconductor sectors, with short-term volatility increasing.
As US Treasury yields fall, valuation pressure on tech stocks has eased. In the short term, focus on whether NVDA can stabilize and whether capital will flow back into AI and semiconductor sectors.
