On August 19th, Wang Haojun, CFO of Pony.ai (02026.HK), stated in an interview that Pony.ais overseas deployment plan has exceeded 4,000 Robotaxis. A major highlight is the recent joint announcement by Pony.ai and Uber of a plan to deploy over 2,000 Robotaxis in five key European cities. "Europe is a very high-value overseas market that we recognize. Both Pony.ai and Uber believe that 2,000 vehicles is just the initial deployment plan. As the overall Robotaxi market in Europe matures, there will definitely be a much larger deployment in the future." Looking at the full year, Wang Haojun stated that Pony.ai is confident in exceeding its 2026 Robotaxi revenue target. Simultaneously, Pony.ai is steadily progressing towards its goal of deploying 3,500 Robotaxis in over 20 cities by the end of 2026. "We are very confident in achieving these goals."On August 19th, Samsung projected that advanced process technologies will contribute more than half of its foundry revenue this year, while AI and high-performance computing (HPC) applications will account for over 30%, up from 15% to 20% by the end of 2025. Due to tight capacity at TSMC, Samsung has gained stronger price negotiation power. A source familiar with Samsungs operations stated that Samsungs SF4 production line at its Pyeongtaek plant in South Korea has been operating at full capacity since the end of last year.On August 19th, Kuaishou (01024.HK) announced that its online marketing service revenue reached RMB 20.6 billion in the second quarter of 2026, representing a year-on-year increase of 4.4%. As of June 2026, the supply of short dramas on the Kuaishou platform, including live-action and AI-generated short dramas, increased more than fivefold compared to January 2026; in the second quarter of 2026, the total spending on online marketing services for short dramas increased by over 100% year-on-year. Regarding e-commerce marketing products, the Net Transaction ROI product continued to upgrade. By improving its full-scenario net transaction bidding capabilities and continuously iterating its bidding mechanism and model strategies, its customer penetration rate increased from 45% in the first quarter of 2026 to 55% in the second quarter of 2026, effectively helping merchants reduce product return rates.Kuaishou: In the second quarter of 2026, Kuaishous average daily active users and average monthly active users reached 412 million and 797 million, respectively.On August 19th, two sources familiar with the matter stated that Samsung Electronics has raised prices for some advanced chip manufacturing services by up to 15% due to surging demand for artificial intelligence chips, leading to tight capacity in its foundry business. This price increase marks a turnaround for Samsungs foundry business, which has been operating at a loss since 2022, according to industry estimates. While Samsung achieved record profits driven by soaring memory chip prices, its foundry division has struggled to close the gap with TSMC. The sources indicated that Samsung raised prices in July for chips manufactured using its 4-nanometer (SF4) process. Wafers produced using its 5-nanometer (SF5) process saw price increases of 10% to 15%, while wafers produced using the older 8-nanometer process rose by nearly 10%. Samsung declined to comment, stating that the company does not disclose specific details regarding its operations.

S&P 500 Price Forecast – Stock Markets Give Up Early Gains

Technical Analysis of the S&P 500

Initially attempting to rise during Wednesday's trading session, the S&P 500 eventually gave up gains and lost momentum due to the thin markets' lack of current interest. The 3800 level underneath should be sustained, but if we decline below that, it would be possible to slide considerably lower, maybe as low as the 3700 level.


At this point, rallies ought to be fading, therefore the 3900 level and the 50-Day EMA can serve as a ceiling from which to resume shorting. When signs of fatigue start to surface, they will be pounced on, and I won't think twice about shorting them. Because of this, I believe that the market will continue to be negative, although it's possible that unreliable money managers may attempt to pad their books towards the end of the year. This is a frequent occurrence since they must at least demonstrate to their customers that they possess the "proper stocks."


It appears like Wall Street will sometimes need a reminder that the Federal Reserve is dead serious, which is an issue that the Federal Reserve itself caused by coddling traders for 14 years, so I believe it's just a matter of time until we continue to go lower. In light of this, I am prepared to short this market gradually during rallies and when it begins to show symptoms of tiredness. However, at this time of year, I am not expecting for large swings, so you must see this through the lens of short-term trading.
