Odaily News: BlueBay Chief Investment Officer Mark Dowding noted in a report that if Fed Chair Warsh abandons forward guidance, it could heighten the risk of the market losing confidence in the Federal Reserve. Dowding stated, "During the tenure of previous Fed chairs who implemented forward guidance, the institution enjoyed a high degree of trust and credibility."

However, if an information vacuum emerges, market uncertainty could intensify and confidence in the Fed may begin to waver. He pointed out that current U.S. debt levels have hit record highs and are growing at an alarming pace. If the Fed adopts a hands-off approach to market direction, a sudden loss of market confidence could pose significant latent risks. (Jin Shi)

According to Odaily, data from MSX.COM shows Amazon's pre-market gains have reached 13%.

Previously, the company reported better-than-expected performance and earnings in its Q2 2026 financial results, with AWS cloud business revenue growth hitting an 18-quarter high. The company raised its full-year 2026 capital expenditure guidance and offered an optimistic outlook on AI's long-term trillion-dollar revenue potential: the trend of AI computing power supply falling short of demand is expected to persist, with the supply gap potentially extending into 2028.

According to data from MSX.COM, crypto-related concept stocks are broadly higher in US pre-market trading, with AMZN up 13.03%, MRVL up 7.75%, ARM up 5.99%, KLAC up 4.38%, and AMD up 4.02%.

Odaily Planet Daily News Morgan Stanley stated in its latest report that SpaceX (SPCX) is approaching a critical stress phase after its public listing, comparing the upcoming share unlock to the "maximum dynamic pressure (Max Q)" during a rocket launch. SpaceX will release its first quarterly earnings report after the listing on August 4. The firm believes that market attention will focus on management's stance on future strategies such as Starlink, Starship, and AI computing expansion, rather than single-quarter financial data. 

According to the report, on August 6, approximately 911.5 million SpaceX shares will be unlocked from restrictions, valued at roughly $100 billion at current prices. This marks the first tranche of a nearly 4 billion share unlock plan extending to January 2027. Morgan Stanley believes that early investors may seek liquidity after long-term holding, and the unlock pressure could become the biggest short-term risk to SpaceX's stock price.

Odaily News, Bitget has announced a comprehensive upgrade to its BGBTC, adding daily coin-based yields, large-amount fast redemptions, and institutional-grade risk management. The upgrade also introduces an independent Curator mechanism, with DeFi risk management firm Gauntlet overseeing the supervision and risk management of the underlying yield strategy, adding independent strategy review on top of asset custody to strengthen portfolio monitoring, risk control, and long-term yield sustainability. BGBTC now supports deploying yield strategies on the Morph chain, further expanding multi-chain yield channels and use cases.

At the infrastructure level, Bitget has adopted Chainlink CCIP as the official cross-chain solution for BGBTC, while continuing the Chainlink Proof of Reserve solution to provide real-time transparency and verifiable reserve guarantees for its 1:1 Bitcoin pegging. The upgraded BGBTC can still be used as contract margin, collateral for borrowing, and for participating in Launchpool and PoolX while generating yields, further improving capital efficiency while maintaining asset liquidity.

Odaily News: Bybit has added six new stock perpetual contracts today, including UnitedHealth Group (UNHUSDT), General Electric (GEUSDT), JPMorgan Chase (JPMUSDT), Gilead Sciences (GILDUSDT), Amgen (AMGNUSDT), and Regeneron Pharmaceuticals (REGNUSDT), with support for up to 25x leverage. To mark the launch, a limited-time fee discount is available: 0% fee for limit orders and a 50% discount on market orders.

Odaily News: After a prolonged slump throughout July, the KOSPI index surged over 17% at one point on the 31st, marking the largest single-day gain in history. While some investors optimistically view this rebound as a "signal flare" for a market trend reversal, market experts argue that the South Korean stock market's vulnerability to foreign capital flows and its highly volatile structure have once again been validated, and this rebound may ultimately turn out to be just a "dead cat bounce."

Data shows that within just over two minutes of market open, net foreign buying of South Korean stocks reached KRW 1.6 trillion; by market close, foreign investors had accumulated a net purchase of KRW 7.18 trillion for the day, setting an all-time record. Meanwhile, South Korean retail investors recorded a net sell-off of KRW 8.2 trillion, also marking a historic single-day net selling record.

Analyst Lee Chae-won stated: "It's difficult to determine at this point whether this rebound is a temporary technical recovery or the starting point of an upward trend." "Ultimately, the key lies in the semiconductor cycle. Given market skepticism over whether high operating profit margins can be sustained, investors should pay attention over the next six months to whether semiconductor supply bottlenecks will persist beyond 2028." A source from the asset management industry noted: "Retail investors who are currently trapped at high levels are likely to sell to lock in profits when the index approaches previous highs around the 8,000 to 9,000 point range, thereby suppressing the upward trend."

Odaily Planet Daily News: The United States and Israel are discussing the possibility of imposing a land blockade on Iran. The proposal is one of several options being considered by Trump and Netanyahu, aimed at further increasing economic pressure on Iran. The plan may require the United States and Israel to pressure Iran's neighboring countries and regional partners to tighten or even close border crossings, restricting the flow of Iran's import and export trade. Retired U.S. Army Lieutenant General Sean MacFarland stated that although a land blockade is "almost impossible to achieve," "if you deprive Iran of its ability to trade... then you are isolating it economically. That is the way to make them yield. Economic measures are the most straightforward approach, but they must include a military component."

Iran shares borders with Iraq, Turkey, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Turkmenistan, Armenia, and Azerbaijan, which means U.S. and Israeli leaders must convince these countries to cooperate, and many of them are not their allies. A land blockade against Iran could target key border crossings, such as the Incheh Borun and Sarakhs crossing points connecting Iran and Turkmenistan. (The Daily Telegraph)
