Editor's Note: As mentioned in last week's Crypto-Stock Market Barometer, the U.S. stock market trend has improved, with sectors such as storage and optical communications experiencing consecutive gains. Meanwhile, the Korean stock market has started declining again after five consecutive sessions of gains. In the A-share market, driven by the abstract animated film "Niu Lai" (The Bull Is Coming), thousands of listed companies saw simultaneous gains this week—a rare occurrence—with several "bull concept" stocks rallying on Monday. The resonance between capital markets and the attention economy is becoming increasingly common. On the macroeconomic front, the positive news is that the 60-day extension agreement between Iran and the U.S. has been approved, briefly boosting U.S. stock markets.
In the U.S. stock market, on one hand, data suggests U.S. market resilience may be at a near-30-year record, with no extreme sell-off yet; on the other hand, despite the S&P 500 breaking above 7,800 points, institutions have begun issuing warning signals, viewing mid-August to mid-October as a historically volatile period, suggesting increased risk of an autumn sell-off. Regarding the dense Q2 earnings reports, Goldman Sachs points out that the structural imbalance in the AI industry persists, with spending and profitability far from reaching equilibrium. The positions of "AI stock god" Leopold Aschenbrenner's Situational Awareness have finally been made public, with SanDisk and Micron combined accounting for roughly half of the portfolio, ultimately making him the "one whale falls, all creatures thrive" investment whale last month, though his investment list has shown a good rebound recently.
In the Korean stock market, some believe that after the previous "violent deleveraging phase," the most severe phase of turmoil in the Korean stock market may be over. The historic sell-off has cleared leveraged positions, and regulatory restrictions have led to a significant decline in trading of certain high-risk products. Last week, the Korea Stock Exchange volatility index fell to a two-month low, after hitting an all-time high in June. This stabilization is attributed to forced liquidation, which helps reduce outstanding margin debt; meanwhile, stricter regulations on leveraged ETFs have also reduced trading volume and asset size for products related to chip giants Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix.
In the A-share market, Unitree Robotics will officially list on the Shanghai Stock Exchange's STAR Market tomorrow (August 19), with 30.0877 million unrestricted tradable shares in the initial listing period, accounting for 7.44% of total share capital. The company states that the issuance price corresponds to a 35.89x diluted static price-to-sales ratio for 2025, higher than the average of comparable companies, but relatively reasonable compared to the previous 219x price-to-earnings ratio excluding non-recurring items. Regarding product launches, Unitree recently unveiled a humanoid robot named "Superman" capable of a 2-meter standing vertical jump and a top speed of 12.66 m/s (with 0.85-meter legs), surpassing world records for standing vertical jump and running speed, positioning itself to claim the title of "First Humanoid Robot Stock in A-shares," with its market value expected to rise in the short term.

In the crypto-related stock sector, the overall trend is stable, but institutions such as JPMorgan and Wells Fargo have been increasing their BTC-related holdings, and Strategy stock has also seen a wave of密集 institutional position disclosures. Although BTC and ETH price action has been mediocre, the market may see a turning point after late September.
