Today's Hidden Thread
ASML raises expectations, Korean chip stocks surge, IBM plummets due to memory shortage—these three events piece together the same story: the AI computing power arms race is redefining the semiconductor supply and demand landscape. Meanwhile, security vulnerabilities in Claude and Cursor remind us that the maturity of the AI toolchain is far from keeping up with the speed of application explosion. On the other end of geopolitics, the escalation of US-Iran conflict hangs the Sword of Damocles over both energy and chip supply chains. Technology surge and geopolitical risk, the main theme of the second half of 2026 is already written.
