Asia markets look to Korea, PMIs in the week ahead

Asia markets look to Korea, PMIs in the week ahead

Asian stocks are opening the week with moves that look driven more by balance sheet space than by earnings news. South Korea’s KOSPI stands out: after falling about 7% last week, it’s still up 66% for the quarter and has nearly doubled this year, according to a Reuters snapshot. That split between a sharp drop and a still-high gain puts Seoul in focus as a sign of how much leverage might be left in the AI rally. Asia got little help from global markets. The Philadelphia SE Semiconductor Index slid 7.7% last week, the biggest weekly fall since March 2025. MSCI’s broad Asia ex-Japan index dropped close to 3% on Friday. Mark Hackett, Nationwide’s chief market strategist, called it “a needed and healthy period of consolidation following the historic run since March” and “a dramatic rotation from tech and everything else.”

Strategy Bitcoin Buy Draws Focus to Saylor’s Cash-Reserve Move as STRC Under Pressure

Strategy Bitcoin Buy Draws Focus to Saylor’s Cash-Reserve Move as STRC Under Pressure

Strategy Inc disclosed it picked up 520 bitcoin last week for $34.9 million, paying an average of $67,068 per coin, according to a recent filing. The firm’s stack rose to 847,363 BTC. But the bigger move was higher up in the document—Strategy sold $335.5 million of common stock and didn’t touch its preferred shares. The company still has $17.5 billion of STRC capacity left, the filing said. Strategy’s bitcoin-buying engine is swinging back to raising common equity at a time when investors are taking a harder look at its preferred-stock fundraising. With an at-the-market, or ATM, program, the company can drip shares into the market as it wants. But last week, less than 11% of common-stock proceeds actually went to buying bitcoin. The rest ended up boosting cash.

Strategy stock slips after-hours as Bitcoin cools and STRC buzz fades

Bitcoin hits $65,000, Strategy puts bulk of new equity cash on hold

Bitcoin climbed 1.9% to $65,201 on Monday, with an earlier high of $65,241 coming as signs of a U.S.-Iran peace breakthrough calmed oil worries and brought buyers back to risk. Why does the move matter? Two big pieces of demand are missing. U.S. exchange-traded funds haven’t confirmed the rebound. Corporate buyer Strategy is also on the sidelines. Last week, Strategy raised $335.5 million, selling 2.7 million shares, but it only spent $34.9 million on 520 bitcoin. It still has $1.4 billion in dollar reserves.

Michael Saylor Sells Bitcoin; Strategy Investors Look Ahead

Michael Saylor Sells Bitcoin; Strategy Investors Look Ahead

Strategy Inc. shares dropped Monday as the company revealed it had sold 32 bitcoin for roughly $2.5 million—marking its first bitcoin sale since December 2022 and a notable shift from Michael Saylor’s buy-and-hold push. The company said it unloaded the coins between May 26 and May 31 at an average net price of $77,135. Strategy’s sale is grabbing attention since the stock is seen as the biggest public-market levered bitcoin play. Even a small sale makes investors look closer at whether the company is just stacking bitcoin for good, or if that stash can be used for cash when needed.

Strategy Inc Bitcoin Sale Signal Puts Michael Saylor’s MSTR Stock Back in the Spotlight

Strategy Inc Bitcoin Sale Signal Puts Michael Saylor’s MSTR Stock Back in the Spotlight

TYSONS CORNER, Virginia, May 9, 2026, 18:04 Michael Saylor, executive chairman at Strategy Inc, tried to recast a potential bitcoin sale as a tactical move to shore up the company’s capital structure—rather than a step back from its bitcoin-focused playbook—after he floated the idea that Strategy could “sell some Bitcoin to fund a dividend.” His comments come as others with bitcoin on their balance sheets, like Nakamoto, Empery Digital, and Sequans, have already trimmed their bitcoin stashes amid the latest crypto slide.

Bitcoin Supply Shock? Saylor’s Latest Buy Puts Strategy Ahead Of BlackRock

Bitcoin Supply Shock? Saylor’s Latest Buy Puts Strategy Ahead Of BlackRock

Strategy Inc. picked up an additional $255 million in bitcoin last week—a smaller haul than some prior buys, but enough to keep Michael Saylor’s firm out in front of BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust. The move also intensified the ongoing debate about whether big players are soaking up too much of the available supply. Bitcoin hovered near $77,660, a touch lower on the day, still flirting with that $80,000 mark traders have circled. This purchase stands out, coming just days after Galaxy Digital CEO Mike Novogratz warned that Saylor’s pace was fast enough to pressure the supply side. Novogratz, speaking on the All Things Markets podcast, put Strategy's buying at “multiple billions per week,” according to Stocktwits, and said, “there is not enough supply” if that level of demand keeps up. In simple terms, a supply shock hits when buyers soak up more coins than sellers and issuers can add back.

Bitcoin slips under Strategy’s break-even, pushing MSTR toward an eighth straight monthly drop

Bitcoin slips under Strategy’s break-even, pushing MSTR toward an eighth straight monthly drop

Strategy shares fell this week as bitcoin approached a price that puts the company’s massive holdings just shy of break-even. This drop sparked fresh questions about how much further the company can continue buying. The selloff is significant because Strategy acts as a stock-market stand-in for bitcoin, often showing bigger swings than the cryptocurrency itself. CoinDesk reported the stock has dropped for seven months running and currently trades at an mNAV multiple near 1.09 — a quick way to compare its equity value against the worth of its bitcoin holdings. When that multiple nears 1, it becomes tougher and more dilutive to raise new equity.

Dow Jones Today: DJIA Near Record Highs in Thin Post-Christmas Trading as Investors Eye Fed Minutes and 2026 Outlook

NEW YORK — Friday, December 26, 2025.The Dow Jones Industrial Average is navigating a quiet “bridge” session between the Christmas holiday and the final stretch of the year, with trading volumes widely expected to remain light—an environment that can amplify moves in either direction. Around late morning, the Dow dipped 65 points to 48,666, while the S&P 500 was essentially flat and the Nasdaq edged slightly higher. Reuters With markets still sitting close to all-time highs and 2025 on track to close with double-digit gains across major indexes, investors are balancing bullish momentum against a familiar year-end reality: thin liquidity, portfolio rebalancing, and a growing list of 2026 crosscurrents.

American Express (AXP) Outlook on Dec. 25, 2025: Holiday Spending Signals, Platinum Strategy, Dividend, and 2026 Earnings Watch

Dec. 25, 2025 — With U.S. markets closed for Christmas Day, investors are using the pause to take stock of American Express Company after a strong 2025 run. The story heading into year-end is familiar—but still powerful: affluent cardmember spend is holding up, AmEx is leaning harder into premium fees and lifestyle benefits, and the company’s most recent credit snapshots show steady delinquencies even as charge-offs tick higher. AXP last traded at $383.11, near the upper end of its recent range.

US Dollar Slides Toward Worst Year Since 2017: Yen Intervention Watch and What a Weaker Greenback Means for 2026 Investors

US Dollar Slides Toward Worst Year Since 2017: Yen Intervention Watch and What a Weaker Greenback Means for 2026 Investors

On December 24, 2025, currency markets delivered a clear year-end verdict: the U.S. dollar is finishing 2025 on its weakest footing in years, and the implications stretch far beyond the foreign-exchange desk. In holiday-thin trading, the greenback fell to fresh multi-month lows against key peers, while investors leaned into a growing view that the Federal Reserve has room to keep cutting rates in 2026, even as other central banks appear closer to the end of their easing cycles. At the same time, the Japanese yen remained the market’s pressure point, with traders on alert for possible intervention from Tokyo. Kitco+1

Strategy Inc (MSTR) Stock Today: Bitcoin Slide, Purchase Pause, Cash-Reserve Build and 2026 Outlook (Dec. 23, 2025)

Strategy Inc — the company formerly known as MicroStrategy — is trading lower on Tuesday, December 23, as Bitcoin weakens and investors digest a notable shift in the firm’s playbook: after weeks of aggressive BTC accumulation, Strategy paused Bitcoin purchases last week while continuing to raise capital and expand a growing U.S. dollar reserve designed to cover dividends and interest. SEC+1 As of 14:52 UTC, MSTR traded at $160.52, down about 2.3% on the session, after ranging between $160.19 and $163.71. Over the same window, Bitcoin traded around $86,994, down about 3.4%, reinforcing the market’s long-running view of MSTR as a high-beta proxy for BTC — but now with rising attention on dilution, financing costs, and potential index-related headwinds.

Updated: Sunday, 14 December 2025 United Overseas Bank Limited shares ended the week at S$34.72, finishing with a late-week lift after drifting lower mid-week. The move may look modest on a chart—but the story underneath is classic “big bank mechanics”: funding, capital management, and the interest-rate narrative all jockeying for influence, while investors keep one eye on dividends and buybacks and the other on 2026 margin pressure.
