Odaily reported that Serenity stated, "For me personally, this pullback looks like a clear buying opportunity, with targets including Micron Technology (MU), Intel (INTC), and TSMC (TSM).
This decline is mainly driven by some unfounded narratives, such as market rumors of three rate hikes by the Fed this year. However, there is actually no fresh macroeconomic data to support this claim (the real data won't be released until Thursday).
If institutions truly believed in a bearish logic of three rate hikes, as proposed by Bank of America (BofA), they should have arbitraged via CME futures or prediction markets. But in reality, these markets still show a probability of around 74% for no rate hike in July, reflecting no such aggressive rate hike expectations."
Odaily reported that driven by companies placing advance orders to avoid shortages and rising prices, U.S. manufacturing activity expanded again in June, but factory employment fell to a six-year low, primarily due to increased operating costs stemming from the Middle East conflict.
The U.S. June S&P Global Manufacturing PMI rose to 55.7 from 55.1 in May, the highest level since May 2022, while economists polled by Reuters had expected a decline to 54.8. The rise in manufacturing PMI, combined with an increase in the services PMI from 50.7 in May to 51.3, pushed the composite PMI output index up to 52.2 from 51.5 last month. The rebound in the services PMI is partly attributed to the joint World Cup tournament hosted by the U.S., Canada, and Mexico. (Jin Shi)
