2. Key Drivers of Today’s Market (Middle East Tensions Easing as the Core Turning Point)
1. US and Iran reach a ceasefire memorandum, easing overall inflation pressures
On June 14, US and Iran signed a memorandum of understanding, the Strait of Hormuz shipping blockade was lifted, causing crude oil prices to plummet: WTI crude oil fell 4.3% in one day to $81.23, Brent also declined.
Chain reaction: Energy-driven inflation fears rapidly cooled, markets lowered expectations for Fed rate hikes this year, with December rate hike probability dropping from 69% to 64%;
US Treasury yields declined: 2-year yields hit a low of 4.02%, 10-year yields also fell, easing the valuation pressure on high-growth tech stocks; the US dollar index weakened: DXY slightly down to 99.685, global risk assets rose in tandem.
2. SpaceX’s IPO Continues to Boost Sentiment in Space Computing and AI Industries
Last Friday’s historic largest IPO by SpaceX again surged, Elon Musk expressed optimism about a trillion-dollar revenue target by 2030, driving satellite internet, space computing, and AI data centers to strengthen across the board, becoming a trigger for tech sector sentiment.
3. Market Preemptively Prices in the Fed’s June Meeting Neutral Tone
Market consensus prices a 98.5% chance of holding rates steady in June, short-term funds need not worry about immediate rate hikes, and with geopolitical positives, investors are positioning early for growth; but they remain cautious, awaiting the Fed’s dot plot and chair’s speech early Wednesday, with bullish momentum restrained.
4. Fundamentals Remain Intact
US core CPI rose only slightly, services sector remains resilient, no deep recession expectations, no large-scale fund withdrawal from stocks, only sector rotation between high and low valuation stocks.
3. Sector Strengths and Weaknesses Panorama
Leading sectors: Technology hardware, semiconductors, communication services, with semiconductors/storage chips (strongest) — Philadelphia Semiconductor Index surged over 4% to a new high; Western Digital +15%, Micron +7.65%, AMD +8.05%, ARM +11%, Intel +5.14%; HBM, optical modules, equipment materials all rose sharply, AI computing capital expenditure logic continues to play out.
Philadelphia Semiconductor components: major AI and internet giants all strengthened—Meta (+4.02%), Amazon (+3.50%), Google (+2.40%), Nvidia (+1.95%)—valuation repairs and cloud order expectations improved. Aerospace and defense sectors, led by SpaceX, rose: Delta Airlines and American Airlines up over 3.5%. Banking and finance also strengthened—JPMorgan, Goldman Sachs, Bank of America up over 1.5%, benefiting from stable net interest margins in a high-rate environment, combining defense and resilience.
Weak sectors:
Energy and oil & gas: Crude oil plummeted, prompting capital outflows—ExxonMobil -5.6%, Chevron -4%, leading declines; real estate: high interest rates suppress demand, slightly down 0.9%; traditional utilities and consumer staples saw minimal gains, funds shifted from low-volatility defensive stocks to high-elasticity growth stocks. Chinese concept stocks: Nasdaq Golden Dragon Index followed the market higher, internet and new energy vehicle sectors rebounded slightly, but no independent bullish trend.
4. Performance of Major Asset Classes
US Treasuries: Long- and short-term yields both declined, real interest rates fell, benefiting growth stocks and gold;
US Dollar Index: Slightly weakened to 99.68, easing commodity pricing pressures;
London Gold: surged 3% in one day to over $4,360, geopolitical easing driving rate recovery;

Nasdaq resistance: 27,100; short-term support: 26,400, medium-term support: 26,300
Dow Jones resistance: 51,950 (intraday high), 52,000 (psychological level); support: 51,300
6. Cycle-Based Market Trend Predictions
Short-term (until early Wednesday Fed meeting)
Baseline scenario: indices oscillate at high levels, tech hardware remains strong; market awaits FOMC decision, bulls will not chase high blindly; two key uncertainties:
Dovish: dot plot lowers rate hike expectations, Nasdaq targets 27,100; hawkish: removes rate cut language, raises rate expectations, tech stocks retreat, funds shift back to banks and high-dividend defensives.
Medium-term (1–3 months): core theme unchanged—AI computing, storage, chips as performance tracks, software/Internet secondary; energy sector under short-term pressure;
Market rhythm: Fed policy path determines upside potential. If a single rate cut occurs in September, the three major indices may break previous highs; if high rates persist throughout the year, Nasdaq will re-enter a high-level consolidation phase. Long-term (half-year): AI industry capital expenditure expansion remains intact, US stocks’ medium- and long-term bullish structure is sound; each rate expectation adjustment provides opportunities for hardware leaders to deploy in batches, no signs of a bear market reversal.
Key Watch: Early Wednesday, June 18, at 2 AM Beijing time, Fed rate decision, dot plot, and chair’s speech.
