Yesterday, the global markets performed brilliantly. The three major US stock indices all closed higher, with the technology sector becoming the main driving force. Among them, Meta led the creative technology camp, closing up 5.66%, the largest single-day gain since July 31; Oracle, AMD, Microsoft, and Amazon also followed suit, with gains exceeding 1%.

Notably, Tesla surged significantly due to progress in autonomous driving, rising over 4% intraday. Elon Musk announced that his RoboTaxi service in Texas has officially eliminated safety supervisor requirements, a move that directly triggered volatility in the mobility concept—Uber and Lyft both came under pressure, with declines of 2% and 1.5%, respectively.

The rare earth concept became the biggest dark horse yesterday. Critical Metals soared over 20%, USA Rare Earth rose more than 17%, NioCorp Developments increased over 13%, and Energy Fuels and MP Materials also moved upward. This wave of gains reflects the market’s re-pricing of geopolitical risks and supply chain restructuring.

Most Chinese concept stocks rose, with the NASDAQ Golden Dragon China Index closing up 1.58%. Alibaba led the gains with over 5%, Bilibili increased over 4%, Li Auto and JD.com each rose over 3%, and NIO gained over 2%.

The most noteworthy performance was in precious metals. COMEX gold futures for the current month rose $100.90 to $4,938.4 per ounce, a 2.09% increase, reaching a new all-time high; spot gold also rose $104.92 to $4,936.37 per ounce, up 2.17%. Silver also showed strong momentum, with COMEX silver futures rising $3.58 to $96.215 per ounce (up 3.86%), and spot silver increasing $3.07 to $96.18 per ounce, up 3.30%, both setting new records.

The only declining sector was Intel, which after-hours fell further to 10%, due to its first-quarter revenue outlook missing market expectations, reigniting concerns about its chip competitiveness.

Gold hits a new high again, should I really stockpile now? Elon Musk dares to play big, directly removing safety personnel, Uber must be panicking now Rare earths up 20%? This time geopolitical factors really priced in Intel underperformed again, when will it turn around? Chinese concept stocks are starting to get interesting, Alibaba leading the rally with a good pace Silver is rising even more fiercely than gold, both reaching new highs, is this going to drive us crazy? The tech sector is all in the green, only Intel is lying on the ground Is breaking 5000 in gold far away? Feels like it's not far now RoboTaxi has directly wiped out traditional ride-hailing apps, competition is so brutal The rare earth concept has emerged, is it still possible to jump in now if you missed the earlier opportunity?

Elon Musk is at it again, RoboTaxi directly surpassing Didi. How ruthless is this move? Gold and silver hit new all-time highs again. Should I really stock up? The recent surge in rare earths is incredible. Geopolitical factors are truly the strongest trend. Intel has really pulled through this time. Even chip giants can have a day of failure. Meta rose 5.66%, tech stocks are still the main players. Chinese concept stocks are collectively taking off, Alibaba's 5%+ increase is definitely leading the pack. Precious metals both broke records. This market is a bit crazy. Uber is being crushed by Tesla, this must be industry replacement. The rare earth sector suddenly became a dark horse. I'm a bit confused but it also feels reasonable. Gold has surpassed 4900+ and is still rising. When will the top be reached?

Gold hits a new high again, this time really heading towards 5000 The surge in rare earths is outrageous, feels like the geopolitical situation is being re-priced What does a 5.66% rise in Meta mean? We still need to see if it can stabilize later Elon Musk's RoboTaxi move is incredible, Uber and Lyft are directly impacted Intel really underperformed this time, chip competitiveness is worrying Chinese concept stocks are still mainly supported by Alibaba, others are just following the trend Gold and silver both hit historic highs, is everyone rushing to safe havens? Wait, is there something behind Intel's 10% drop that I haven't seen? Gold and silver both hit historic highs, is everyone rushing to safe havens? This market feels a bit like cutting leeks, just watching for now

Gold and silver hit new highs again, this wave of risk aversion really can't be suppressed The 20% increase in rare earths is a bit extreme, geopolitical tensions are truly re-pricing Tesla directly outperforms Uber and Lyft, Elon Musk's move is indeed fierce Intel has really hit a setback this time, chip competitiveness is worrying Alibaba's 5% rise is exciting, Chinese concepts are finally showing some signs of recovery The tech sector is collectively booming, Meta's 5% gain is quite interesting Gold is almost at 5000, should I stock up on something? Intel's 10% drop can't bring a smile, is this the end of the line? RoboTaxi is a clever move, truly changing the game Rare earth concepts are crazy, Critical Metals is showing signs of doubling

Meta is rising again. Can it hold until the end of the month this time? --- Gold has broken 4900. Are we really going to buy the dip, everyone? --- Elon Musk really dares to do it—cutting safety personnel directly... His guts are really big. --- The rare earths are on the rise again. It feels like the international situation is about to change. --- Is Intel really going to decline? A 10% drop is quite sharp. --- Chinese concept stocks are rising together. It's rare to see this scene. --- Silver is up 3.86%, more fierce than gold. Who's buying? --- Uber and Lyft are being held down. We need to rethink the direction of travel. --- In this round of gains, who is genuine, and who is just hype? Let's ask a question mark first.

Gold hits a new high again, truly amazing, gotta jump on the bandwagon quickly Elon Musk just loves to stir things up, directly removing safety personnel, how do Uber and Lyft survive This wave of rare earths really caught me off guard, a 20% increase, did anyone buy the dip? Intel really underperformed this time, chip competitiveness still depends on AMD and Microsoft, right? Are Chinese concept stocks waking up? Alibaba and Bilibili are about to rebound Silver at 3.86%, gotta stock up, hitting a new historical high Meta up 5.66%, the tech sector is definitely speaking I'm a bit worried without safety personnel in RoboTaxi, is it really safe? Gold and silver both taking off, should we reduce tech holdings? Intel is cooling off, will there be a major reshuffle in the chip landscape? Rare earth concept suddenly explodes, is this geopolitical game again?
