The Jordanian military said it intercepted and shot down four missiles that entered its airspace from Iran.July 13 – As a $1.8 trillion rally that propelled Asian chipmakers to the ranks of the worlds largest companies begins to reverse, investors are cutting back on bets on Asian chip stocks, raising concerns about their excessive weighting in emerging market indices. Funds such as Fidelity International and BlackRock are expressing concern about the sustainability of the bull run in stocks like SK Hynix and Samsung Electronics. Over the past six months, the combined market capitalization of these three companies has nearly doubled, and their combined weighting in the MSCI Emerging Markets Index is now approximately 29%, exceeding the weighting of most single countries. Caroline Shaw, multi-asset portfolio manager at Fidelity International, stated that the high concentration of the index, coupled with the significant increase in leveraged bets on South Korean chip stocks amplifying price volatility, are "worrying signs." In the MSCI Emerging Markets Index, the weighting of these three stocks is currently almost three times the total weighting of all Indian stocks, and SK Hynix alone has a weighting exceeding the combined weighting of Brazil and South Africa. Wei Li, global chief investment strategist at BlackRock Investment Institute, said the firm is “happy to take profits at this stage” and reduce its overweight position in emerging market stocks relative to benchmarks due to the volatility in some large chip and memory stocks.According to the Financial Times, serious divisions within the Bank of Englands Monetary Policy Committee make it more difficult for the bank to rebuild its credibility after five years of inflation exceeding its target.According to the Financial Times, investors are reducing their bets on Asian chipmakers.July 13 - Antengene (06996.HK) announced that it has received a US$60 million upfront payment from UCB for ATG-201.

Bitcoin (BTC) increased by 1.95% on Tuesday. BTC finished the day at $22,198, reversing a loss of 0.11% from the previous day. For the second time in seven sessions, BTC displayed green.


Before acting, BTC dropped to a low of $21,555 in the early afternoon. After avoiding the First Major Support Level (S1) around $21,450, BTC surged to a high of $22,339 in the middle of the afternoon.


 Before finishing the day at $21,198, BTC momentarily passed through the Second Major Resistance Level (R2) at $22,228 and the First Major Resistance Level (R1) at $22,001.

Silvergate Bank News and Ante-Gensler Chatter Delivered BTC Support

US economic figures on Tuesday caused BTC to reach a session low. Compared to an anticipated 6.2%, the US annual inflation rate decreased from 6.5% to 6.4% in January. Investors anticipated a more pronounced decline of inflation, despite inflation softening, to lessen the prospect of interest rates exceeding 5%.


However, afternoon support and a BTC rebound to $22,000 were given by the cryptocurrency news channels.


The bullish session was influenced by the news out of Washington, D.C. A hearing titled Crypto Crash: Why Financial System Safeguards are Needed for Digital Assets was conducted on Tuesday by the Senate Banking Committee. Gary Gensler and the SEC's shortcomings were brought to light by concerns about their regulation through enforcement and lack of SEC advice to crypto companies.


Legislators noted Gensler's appearances on morning talk programs and called for him to testify as soon as possible.


Participants in the cryptocurrency sector are expecting that Congress would grant the CTFC more monitoring authority after Gensler and the SEC's approach to regulating the digital asset area came under scrutiny.


Following a spike in SEC action that resulted in a settlement with the SEC and the termination of US cryptocurrency staking services from Kraken and Paxos, respectively, the Senate Committee Hearing was held (BUSD).


The endorsement of Silvergate Bank by Citadel Securities Group was also positive for the cryptocurrency market. The hedge fund has a 5.5% investment in the cryptocurrency-linked bank, according to a filing with the SEC on Tuesday. Silvergate Capital Corp (SI) grew by 18.01% as a result on Tuesday. The stock has fallen 86.6% during the last year, however.


This month, Silvergate Bank has received attention. News that the US Justice Department was looking into Silvergate Bank's interactions with FTX and Alameda Research broke earlier this month.
