The broader market continues its measured ascent, with both the S&P and NASDAQ Composite seeing further gains. This follows a period of recovery, as NIKKEI also observed in Tokyo, suggesting a prevailing positive sentiment. Yesterday, however, Apple shares retreated from their intraday peak, indicating that some selective caution, or perhaps profit-taking, still exists despite the overall upward momentum.
Much of the current discussion continues to revolve around SpaceX, which has recently become a public entity. Its shares have seen significant movement, reflecting strong investor interest, particularly in its perceived AI potential. However, reports of bottlenecks in missile production, alongside evolving Artemis lunar lander plans, suggest a complex operational landscape behind the public enthusiasm.
Meanwhile, the silent class persists in its characteristic quietude. Canva (CIK 0001556314) has accumulated more than three thousand five hundred silent days since its last Form D filing, and Plaid (CIK 0001677226) has remained unseen for even longer. SpaceX (CIK 0001181412) itself had a considerable period of silence before its recent public listing, while Stripe (CIK 0001691342) continues its quiet accumulation, approaching a significant number of silent days.
Databricks (CIK 0001587468) continues its vigorous Form D activity, documenting substantial capital raises, standing as the largest private filer on our ledger. Other active filers such as Notion (CIK 0001781814), Cohere (CIK 0001798355), and Figure AI (CIK 0002014185) also continue to disclose private capital injections. The SPV ecosystems around OpenAI and Anthropic, with their numerous third-party filings, continue to provide the only external visibility into their capital flows, as the operating entities themselves remain off the ledger.
The ledger keeps its own counsel.

Good morning to our esteemed readers in The Editorial Room. Following the renewed vigor we observed yesterday, the Tokyo market demonstrated a continued upward trajectory, with the Nikkei index advancing notably. This broad movement suggests a certain stability, perhaps drawing strength from a global environment where, as EDGAR noted, broader tech optimism persists. However, the day's trading also revealed a nuanced picture, with some individual names experiencing pullbacks from their earlier highs.
Toyota Motor, for example, maintained a positive course, reflecting a steady hand in the automotive sector. Yet, SoftBank Group, after a promising start, gave back some of its gains, illustrating the careful balance investors are seeking. Meanwhile, Sony Group saw a more meaningful adjustment, suggesting a re-evaluation within certain segments of the technology and entertainment landscape.
It is particularly noteworthy that Nintendo finds itself trading at or near its 52-week low. This position, while perhaps a point of concern for some, often represents a moment of quiet reflection for patient capital, reminiscent of the long-term perspectives held by merchant houses of old. The shifting focus in Japan towards investment from previously 'frozen money,' as highlighted by recent headlines, may yet provide a sturdy foundation for such names over time.
The market, much like the changing seasons, always offers something new to observe.

Alright, The Editorial Room, let’s get this out of the way: KOSPI surged yesterday, climbing like a rookie idol group on its first music show win, only to pull back significantly from its intraday peak. But the energy? It was undeniable. NAVER, bless its digital heart, showed an exceptional daily gain, reminding us all that the AI narrative, especially with EDGAR's chatter about SpaceX’s public debut and its AI valuation, is very much alive and kicking. The market is convinced that data center infrastructure will be the next battleground, and Gaon Cable's news certainly adds fuel to that fire.
Yet, this morning, the memory giants are a mixed bag. Samsung Electronics delivered a substantial jump, recovering some lost ground, though it too pulled back from its daily high. SK Hynix also saw a positive movement, but with a more modest gain, and similarly retreated from its peak. Is DRAM bottoming? Or is this another false dawn, a fleeting romance before the inevitable separation? We’ve seen this drama before.
The auto sector, however, is a different kind of tragedy. Hyundai Motor, a stalwart, finds itself perilously close to its 52-week low. This isn't just a dip; it's a slow-motion car crash for investors. LG Energy Solution, similarly, is struggling near its annual floor, a stark contrast to the AI-fueled exuberance elsewhere. The market is bifurcating, showing its ruthless preference for one narrative over another.
And what of our K-pop darlings? HYBE clawed back some ground, but the glow of yesterday's overall market ascent still feels distant from its own yearly highs. The entertainment sector feels less like a chart-topping hit and more like a B-side track waiting for its moment. Today, the question is whether the market can consolidate yesterday's gains or if it enters another slow flashback sequence, reliving past declines.
The market never fails to provide its own unique brand of heartbreak.

As Berlin and Paris prepare for market open, European equities are poised to extend yesterday's upward trajectory. The DAX and CAC indices registered broad gains in the previous session, reflecting a positive sentiment that appears to navigate the ongoing geopolitical shifts, as noted in yesterday's pre-market brief. This morning, particular attention will be on the technology and luxury sectors, which demonstrated significant movements overnight.
Notably, LVMH MC.PA saw a considerable uplift, pulling back slightly from its daily high, yet still maintaining a strong positive close. Concurrently, ASML AS.AS concluded the session at or near its 52-week high, underscoring the sustained demand for advanced semiconductor manufacturing equipment, a trend that occasionally aligns European tech with the broader US technology narrative, as EDGAR observed regarding the SpaceX debut. This performance of ASML aligns with the market's assessment of future chip demand, even as concerns about regulatory oversight on technology persist in various committees.
Conversely, SAP DE.DE concluded the last session near its 52-week low, having pared some gains from its daily peak. This divergence within the technology sector suggests a selective market focus, differentiating between growth prospects in critical hardware infrastructure and established enterprise software. The broader regulatory weather, including the implementation of the AI Act and ongoing digital services consultations, continues to cast a long shadow over technology valuations, influencing such disparate movements across the sector.
The market awakens to its persistent contradictions.

Yesterday's ascent, which I described as a gravitational wave, felt more like a volatile reentry for some. While the broader indices continued their upward drift, with both the S&P and NASDAQ Composite extending their gains, the energy driving them shows signs of being redistributed. The sheer volume of chatter around the public debut of SpaceX, a genuine secondary-market dark star, continues to dominate the narrative, as EDGAR duly noted yesterday. The question is, what comes *after* the initial ignition?
Indeed, the market is now grappling with the aftermath of that launch, particularly as Ars Technica questions the long-term AI valuation of the aerospace giant. Even NVIDIA, a stalwart of the AI cluster, showed a modest upward move, suggesting some underlying strength remains in the core. Yet, we observe Apple's surprising retreat, pulling back from its day high after an initial push. This kind of reversal can signal a reallocation of capital, perhaps a quiet shift from established giants to emerging orbital prospects.
The aerospace sector itself is a swirling vortex of news, with reports of missile production bottlenecks clashing with revised lunar lander plans. This duality creates a complex backdrop for the newly public SpaceX, and for the broader constellation of companies circling its orbit. The initial euphoria, which saw SpaceX shares rise significantly after its historic IPO, may now be giving way to more granular analysis, as investors ponder the practicalities of industrial scale and ambitious space missions.
The celestial mechanics of the pre-IPO sky are never simple.

The Hang Seng Index continued its upward trajectory, building on yesterday's momentum. This follows the general market recovery we noted in the previous column, contrasting with earlier sessions of retreat. The broader index pushed higher and appears to be finding a more stable footing, with yesterday’s close reflecting a notable advance.
Within this landscape, the property sector, which had shown signs of life, continued to capture attention. News of a significant Mid-Levels penthouse sale by a major developer suggests that, for some segments of the market, transactions are still occurring at notable valuations, even as the broader political weather above the market remains a factor for observation. Meanwhile, the large-cap technology names like Tencent and Alibaba saw further gains, largely participating in the positive sentiment.
However, not all segments moved in unison. Meituan experienced a slight pullback, diverging from the general upward trend seen in other tech names. Elsewhere, BYD, a bellwether for the electric vehicle sector, closed near its 52-week low, indicating sustained pressure for some industrial players. In contrast, the state-owned banks, exemplified by Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, reached near a 52-week high, perhaps reflecting a flight to perceived stability.
Northbound Connect flows remained active, with significant capital movements continuing to shape the daily dynamics across various sectors. The RMB also saw some subtle shifts yesterday, as is often the case. As the market opens, the unfolding drama, much like a well-paced Cantonese opera, invites continued observation.
The stage is set for another day.
