🇸🇦🤝🇺🇸 Big move in industrial AI!
$VVV

Saudi Aramco has signed an MoU with Microsoft to accelerate AI adoption across the Kingdom’s industrial sector.
$BAS

The partnership will explore AI-powered solutions built on Microsoft Azure to enhance operational efficiency, strengthen global competitiveness, and modernize energy systems.
$SPACE

Beyond tech deployment, the focus is also on people — with plans to develop local talent in AI engineering, cybersecurity, data governance, and product management.

This signals Saudi Arabia’s push to combine energy leadership with advanced digital transformation.

Industrial AI is no longer optional — it’s becoming a strategic advantage. 🚀

Gold bounced back strongly after slipping below the key $5,000 level, as traders position ahead of today’s US CPI data.

After dropping nearly 3% in the previous session amid equity market weakness and AI-sector fears, spot gold has recovered and is now eyeing a modest weekly gain (~0.4%). The sell-off was largely technical and sentiment-driven, while the broader macro backdrop still supports dips being bought.

Stronger US jobs data earlier this week reduced aggressive rate-cut expectations, but markets are still pricing in two 25bps cuts this year, starting around June. Inflation data today will likely determine the next directional move.

🔎 Key Takeaways:
• Gold rebounds after breaking major psychological support
• CPI data = short-term volatility trigger
• Rate-cut expectations still supportive medium term
• Silver, platinum, palladium recovering but remain weaker on weekly basis

As long as rate cuts remain on the table in 2026, the bigger trend bias for gold stays constructive — but expect sharp swings around macro releases.

Trade safe.

China’s copper smelters are making more money from acid than copper — but that may not last.

After drone strikes hit Russia’s Astrakhan gas plant, global sulphur supply tightened, sending sulphuric acid prices in China up nearly 500% in 2.5 years. For many smelters, this byproduct suddenly became the main profit engine.

Example: Yunnan Copper generated about a quarter of its gross profit from sulphuric acid last year — even though it accounts for only ~1% of revenue. Meanwhile, traditional treatment and refining charges (TC/RCs) fell below zero as too many smelters compete for limited copper concentrate.

Why acid demand surged:
• Tight global sulphur supply
• Zambia export restrictions
• Growing demand from nickel mining & LFP battery supply chains
• China relying on ~40% imported sulphur

But here’s the risk 👇
Analysts expect acid prices to drop 10–30% as new supply comes online and Beijing caps exports to protect domestic fertiliser demand. If acid prices fall while TC/RCs stay weak, smelter margins could get squeezed fast.

Bottom line:
China’s smelters are riding an acid-driven windfall — but dependence on a volatile byproduct market makes the setup fragile. If acid cools off, production cuts could follow.

El Salvador’s Bitcoin bet is now carrying a $300M drawdown.

The country holds 7,560 BTC (~$503.8M), down from around $800M at the October 2025 peak. President Nayib Bukele is still buying 1 BTC per day — doubling down on long-term conviction despite short-term volatility.

At the same time, pressure is building:

• Credit default swaps just hit a 5-month high
• IMF reviews are delayed
• $450M in bond payments due this year, ~$700M next year

The International Monetary Fund approved a $1.4B program in 2025, but continued BTC purchases could complicate future disbursements. Markets may react negatively if IMF support weakens.

Interestingly, El Salvador recently diversified with a $50M gold purchase — while Bhutan has been trimming BTC holdings after strong mining profits.

Big picture:
This isn’t just a crypto story anymore — it’s a sovereign risk story.

El Salvador is making a high-conviction macro bet on Bitcoin’s long-term upside. If BTC recovers strongly, it strengthens the country’s balance sheet. If not, fiscal pressure increases.

High risk. High conviction. High stakes.

WTI Oil Technical Update 🔎🛢️

U.S. crude is showing renewed downside pressure and may retest key support at $62.52. A break below this level could open the door toward $61.73 in the short term.
$MOODENG

The recent drop from $65.85 signals strong bearish momentum, potentially mirroring the previous sharp decline from $66.11. While price bounced from $62.52 (61.8% projection), this move looks more like a temporary pullback rather than a reversal.
$CLO

Resistance to watch:

$63.15 – $63.50 (trendline zone)

Only a sustained move above $63.79 would revive bullish continuation from $61.12.
$ZKC

On the daily chart, a confirmed shooting star reversal suggests the rising channel may be breaking down. If bearish pressure accelerates, the broader downside target sits in the $58.33 – $60.44 zone.

Short-term bias: Bearish below $63.79.

🇦🇺🇳🇿 AUD & NZD Eye 5th Straight Weekly Gain

The Australian and New Zealand dollars are extending their winning streak, supported by strong yield premiums and hawkish central bank signals.
$COLLECT

🔹 AUD/USD is hovering near 0.709 after pulling back from a 3-year high (0.7146), but still up solidly this week.
🔹 NZD/USD holds around 0.6036, gaining about 0.2% on the week.

The key driver? A more hawkish tone from the Reserve Bank of Australia. Markets now price a 70% chance of a May rate hike (cash rate currently 3.85%), with some probability of a March surprise.
$BTR

Meanwhile, the Reserve Bank of New Zealand meets next week. Rates are expected to stay at 2.25%, but rising inflation expectations (2.59% for the year ahead) are fueling speculation that tightening could come earlier than projected.

⚠️ Risk sentiment remains fragile after a tech-led Wall Street selloff, but yield spreads continue to favor AUD and NZD.

Watch: RBNZ guidance next week + Australian inflation data in April.

💵 Dollar Stuck in Range, Yen Eyes Best Week in a Year

The U.S. dollar is trading flat as mixed economic data keeps the market guessing. Jobless claims show a stabilizing labor market, but weak retail sales and upcoming inflation data are limiting upside momentum.
$RECALL

Markets now see a high chance the Fed holds rates steady next meeting, with growing expectations of a possible June cut — putting pressure on the greenback.

Meanwhile, the Japanese yen is heading for its strongest weekly gain since early 2025, boosted by political momentum after a landslide election win in Japan.
$SIREN

The Australian dollar remains near multi-year highs after a hawkish central bank stance, while the euro holds firm.

📊 Key focus next: U.S. inflation data — could decide the dollar’s next move.

#DXY #USD #JPY
#write2earn🌐💹

The Japanese yen is heading for its strongest week in almost 15 months, gaining nearly 3% against the dollar after PM Sanae Takaichi’s election win eased fiscal concerns.
$SAPIEN

USD/JPY is hovering around 152.8, but the bigger story is positioning — short yen trades are being unwound as confidence in Japan’s policy direction improves. Yen also posted solid weekly gains vs EUR and GBP, showing broad strength.
$ARTX

Japanese stocks (Nikkei 225) are rallying alongside a firmer yen and stable JGBs — a rare combination that signals renewed “Buy Japan” sentiment.
$AKE

Meanwhile, the dollar is soft ahead of US CPI. Markets are still pricing around two Fed cuts this year, with June in focus. Unless inflation surprises big, USD may continue consolidating.

Key levels to watch:
• USD/JPY: 150 psychological support
• DXY: Near 97 — holding or breaking lower?
• US CPI: Next volatility trigger

Yen momentum + softer USD narrative = short-term shift in FX flows. Stay sharp.

China’s EV boom just hit a speed bump 🚗⚡

For the first time since Feb 2024, China’s new-energy vehicle (NEV) sales declined year-over-year. January retail sales dropped 20% to 596,000 units, while overall passenger car sales fell 14% YoY and 32% from December.
$TWT

The main drag? Expired tax exemptions and fading subsidy momentum. After years of explosive growth, the market appears to be entering a “normal adjustment” phase.
$TOSHI

But it’s not all bearish.

🇨🇳 Chinese automakers are accelerating overseas expansion:
• Passenger car exports +52% YoY in January
• NEV exports more than doubled
• 2025 total car exports hit 8.32M units (+30%)
• EV & hybrid exports surged 70% to 3.43M

Tesla’s Shanghai plant delivered 69,129 cars domestically and exported 50,644 units in January.
$TNSR

Short term: Lunar New Year seasonality could make February the yearly bottom.
Long term: Competition intensifies, global expansion becomes key.

China EV story isn’t ending — it’s evolving.

Asian stocks hit fresh records as US data reshapes rate bets 📈
$AA

Asian markets climbed to new highs, led by strong gains in Korea’s Kospi and Japan’s benchmarks, with tech stocks driving momentum. MSCI Asia-Pacific is up around 13% in just six weeks — a powerful start to the year.
$ME

The catalyst? A hotter-than-expected US jobs report.

Solid labor data cooled expectations for a near-term Fed rate cut. March cut odds dropped sharply, Treasury yields jumped, and the dollar regained some strength. However, traders still see at least two cuts later this year. All eyes now turn to Friday’s US inflation print for the next move.
$BTR

The yen stood out, strengthening further as markets react to Japan’s election outcome and hopes for fiscal discipline under PM Takaichi.

Commodities update:
• Oil extended gains on US-Iran tensions
• Gold eased after yesterday’s surge
• Yields remain elevated, supporting USD

Big picture: Strong US data + resilient Asian equities = risk sentiment still intact, but inflation data could shift momentum quickly.

Stay sharp. Volatility isn’t done yet.
#write2earn🌐💹

Oil is ticking higher as traders weigh fresh U.S.–Iran tensions against rising U.S. stockpiles.
$GRASS

Brent is hovering near $69.7 and WTI around $65, with prices up roughly 0.4% after stronger gains in the previous session. The market is focused on geopolitical risk, as President Trump signaled talks with Tehran will continue but left the door open to further military presence in the Middle East if negotiations stall.
$ALLO

Any escalation that threatens Iranian supply or regional shipping routes could push WTI firmly above the $65–$66 zone. On the flip side, easing tensions may drag prices back toward $60–$61 as profit-taking kicks in.

Fundamentally, a strong U.S. jobs report is supporting demand expectations. However, a surprise 8.5M barrel jump in U.S. crude inventories is capping upside momentum.
$pippin

For now, oil remains geopolitically supported, but headline-driven volatility is likely to stay high.

🇦🇺 Aussie Dollar Surges as Yield Advantage Expands
$BERA

The Australian dollar pushed to a fresh 3-year high near 0.7146, fueled by widening yield spreads and strong momentum buying.
$DYM

🔹 Australia’s 3-year yields now sit 75 bps above U.S. Treasuries — a massive swing from last year’s 60 bps discount.
🔹 RBA has shifted from rate cuts to hikes, with markets pricing an 80% chance of another hike in May.
🔹 Policy rate could reach 4.35% by year-end if inflation stays sticky.
$LINEA

Meanwhile:
• 🇺🇸 Markets expect ~54 bps of Fed cuts in 2026
• 🇪🇺 ECB seen on hold through 2026
• 🇳🇿 RBNZ likely to stay at 2.25% next week

The yield gap is driving capital into AUD, with technical resistance ahead at 0.7158, then 0.7282.

As long as spreads keep widening, dips may stay supported.

Dollar Surges After Strong U.S. Jobs Report 💵📊

The U.S. dollar rallied Wednesday after January’s jobs data crushed expectations, reinforcing confidence in the resilience of the American economy.

🔹 130K jobs added vs. 70K forecast
🔹 Unemployment dips to 4.3%
🔹 Markets now see a 94% chance of no rate cut at the next Fed meeting
$ALLO

The dollar gained sharply against the Swiss franc and euro, with the DXY rebounding after three days of losses. Strong payrolls + firm earnings = reduced urgency for Fed easing.
$BERA

However, markets still price in about 50bps of cuts later this year, keeping rate-cut hopes alive for June.

Notable FX moves:

🇯🇵 Yen continues outperforming after Japan’s political shift

🇦🇺 Aussie hits a 3-year high as RBA signals inflation fight isn’t over

🇬🇧 Pound edges higher

🇨🇳 Offshore yuan slightly weaker

Bottom line: Strong labor data supports the dollar short term, but rate-cut expectations haven’t fully disappeared. Volatility likely continues in FX markets.

Bitcoin may have just printed a local bottom near $60K.

According to K33, last week’s sell-off showed clear “capitulation-like” signals across spot, ETFs, and derivatives — the kind of extremes typically seen near cycle lows.

Here’s what stood out:

• Daily RSI dropped to 15.9 — one of the most oversold readings since 2015 (only March 2020 & Nov 2018 were lower).
• 95th percentile spot volumes printed back-to-back — something last seen during the FTX collapse.
• Funding rates flipped deeply negative (down to -15% annualized), showing aggressive short positioning.
• Options skew moved into extreme defensive territory.
• Fear & Greed Index hit 6 — second lowest ever.
• IBIT saw record trading volume ($10B+) alongside heavy ETF outflows.

Historically, this kind of panic + volume spike + extreme sentiment tends to form local bottoms, though consolidation and retests are common afterward.

K33 expects a range phase between $60K–$75K in the coming weeks/months, with reduced momentum and lower probability of significant downside below $60K.

Capitulation often feels worst at the bottom. The data suggests sellers may already be exhausted — now the market likely cools off before the next major move.

Silver jumped more than 4% to around $84.3 after the latest US jobs report, even as it trimmed part of its earlier rally.
$STG

January nonfarm payrolls came in strong at 130K, more than double expectations, and the unemployment rate unexpectedly dipped to 4.3%. The solid labor data pushed back against aggressive Fed rate-cut bets, lifting yields and capping some of silver’s upside.
$UNI

Still, the bigger picture remains supportive. Markets are continuing to price in rate cuts later this year, and with mixed growth signals and softer retail sales earlier, silver is holding firm. Its dual appeal as both a safe-haven and industrial metal keeps the broader bullish structure intact — despite elevated volatility.

🇬🇧 Pound Rebounds as Political Pressure Eases
$FHE

Sterling pushed higher on Wednesday, gaining ground against both the dollar and the euro as concerns over PM Keir Starmer’s leadership cooled.

GBP/USD climbed to around 1.3708, helped partly by a softer U.S. dollar ahead of key jobs data. Meanwhile, EUR/GBP slipped back toward 0.8690, reversing earlier moves seen when political uncertainty weighed on the pound earlier this week.
$ZRO

Starmer reaffirmed his commitment to remain in office, easing fears of leadership turmoil — at least for now. Political stability is offering short-term support, though traders remain cautious.
$NIL

On the monetary side, the Bank of England’s recent narrow vote to hold rates has kept March rate cut expectations alive (~60% probability). If UK GDP data this week surprises to the upside, those easing bets could shift quickly.

📌 Key drivers ahead:
• U.S. Nonfarm Payrolls
• UK GDP (Jan & Q4 2025)
• BoE rate cut expectations

For now, sterling sentiment has stabilized — but both politics and rate policy remain major swing factors.

Apple is facing a sharp rise in memory chip costs — mobile DRAM prices are up over 200% since mid-2025 and NAND isn’t far behind. That could push iPhone component costs up around 15% and trim margins by roughly 1.5 percentage points over time.
$SLAY

But the bigger story isn’t costs — it’s AI.

Bernstein just raised its Apple price target to $340, arguing that “Apple Intelligence” and Siri 2.0 will be the real catalyst this year. By combining on-device AI with cloud-based models through its hybrid architecture, Apple aims to deliver advanced features while keeping privacy as a key differentiator.

Yes, iPhone prices may rise. Yes, some users may trade down. But AI-driven features could spark a fresh upgrade cycle — especially if the most powerful capabilities require newer hardware.

Rising input costs are a headwind. A major AI upgrade cycle is a tailwind.

For Apple, innovation may matter more than memory prices.

Saylor Doubles Down: Strategy to Buy BTC Every Quarter — No Matter What

Michael Saylor isn’t flinching.

Despite Bitcoin’s recent drop and MSTR sliding nearly 70% from its highs, Strategy says it will keep buying Bitcoin every single quarter — regardless of volatility.
$POWER

Saylor made it clear: even if BTC falls 90% for years, the company plans to refinance its $8B+ debt rather than sell its holdings. Liquidation is “not part of the plan.”
$PIPPIN

📊 Current position:
• 714,644 BTC (~$49B value)
• ~$8B in debt (mostly convertible notes)
• Short interest rising — about 10% of float
• BTC trading near $69K

While short sellers increase bets against MSTR, Saylor remains confident in Bitcoin’s long-term value and says the company has enough liquidity to manage obligations for the next couple of years.

Love it or hate it — this is conviction at scale.
