The space economy is a popular investing topic right now, as Space Exploration Technologies completed its record-setting initial public offering. SpaceX stock remains a hot commodity, with the company sporting a market capitalization of more than $2 trillion. But while SpaceX is soaking up a lot of attention, several other companies are also playing important roles in building out the space economy. And while they're flying somewhat under the radar right now, I think AST SpaceMobile (NASDAQ: ASTS) , Intuitive Machines (NASDAQ: LUNR) , and Redwire (NYSE: RDW) have compelling cases to deliver big returns over the next decade.

South Korea Falls Into Bear Market As Memory Euphoria Fizzles It started off with the usual morning rush by retail momentum chasers into the handful of massive, market-moving names ( read Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix ), but as has been the case over the past two weeks, the initial euphoria quickly reversed and the Kospi rolled over, closing down 5.4%, 9.99% over the past two days, and down 22%...
South Korea Falls Into Bear Market As Memory Euphoria Fizzles It started off with the usual morning rush by retail momentum chasers into the handful of massive, market-moving names ( read Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix ), but as has been the case over the past two weeks, the initial euphoria quickly reversed and the Kospi rolled over, closing down 5.4%, 9.99% over the past two days, and down 22% from the all time high of 9385 hit just over 2 weeks ago on Jun 18. ... officially entering a technical bear market as investors express growing concerns about the long-term prospects of the AI chipmakers that have driven a world-beating rally. To be sure, the Kospi is still the world’s top-performing major stock index this year, having returned more than 70% in local currency terms. but the momentum is clearly to the downside, and finding dip buyers who are willing to hold more than just a few minutes is becoming especially difficult. On Wednesday, the market’s two largest constituents, Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix, fell 6.3% and 5.7%, respectively. Shares of the two companies have surged as a result of demand for their memory chips, although attention is increasingly turning to cheaper Chinese-made memory alternatives made by such companies as CXMT (DRAM) and YMTC (NAND). Sure enough, sentiment has started to turn. Samsung’s shares tumbled as much as 10% on Tuesday, even though the company projected a third straight quarter of record operating profit. According to the FT , analysts attributed the recent declines to a lack of clarity on how South Korean chipmakers would enforce long-term agreements with customers over chip purchases, echoing a joke we first made just a few days ago.

BlackJack3D Markets shifted lower on Wednesday as renewed pressure on mega-cap technology stocks reignited debate over whether artificial intelligence valuations have entered bubble territory. With the second half of the year underway, investors are increasingly questioning whether the rapid gains tied to AI leaders can be sustained. Analysts remain divided on the outlook, with some warning that excessive optimism has created bubble-like conditions, while others argue that strong fundamentals and earnings growth continue to support current valuations. Seeking Alpha analysts weigh in on both sides of the ongoing AI bubble debate. SA analyst Agar Capital stated: “Unlike the subprime bubble, the current AI buildout is still largely financed by highly profitable companies… My conclusion is simple: AI may be a “good bubble” for the long-term economy, but it can still become a bad trade for investors who buy the wrong stocks in the wrong sectors at the wrong price,” in AI Bubble: Good Bubble, Bad Trade . SA analyst Damir Tokic echoed: “In my view, the AI bubble burst is already underway as the AI business model is broken… AI capex is increasingly financed with debt, credit spreads are widening, and circular investing increases the risk of contagion,” in The BIS Warning: AI Bubble Burst, Credit Event, Inflation, Fiscal Problems . SA analyst JR Research said: “Semiconductor valuations have normalized, with multiples around 23x, indicating skepticism is already priced in and the AI bubble fears are overstated,” in Don't Let The Perma-Bears Fool You About The AI Bubble Implosion Again . SA analyst Deep Value Investing noted: “I still think the AI capex supercycle has legs in 2026, but I don't see this market as a long term, buy and hold. Far from that. Despite my high cash position, I still don’t think the bubble is anywhere close to its peak,” in The Most Obvious Bubble In History: Unlikely To Pop This Year .

Torsten Asmus Global government bond yields moved higher on Wednesday as renewed U.S.-Iran hostilities lifted oil prices, prompting investors to reassess the outlook for inflation and interest rates.

Torsten Asmus Global government bond yields moved higher on Wednesday as renewed U.S.-Iran hostilities lifted oil prices, prompting investors to reassess the outlook for inflation and interest rates. The selloff in sovereign debt was broad-based. The U.S. 10-year ( US10Y ) Treasury yield rose to 4.58%, while Germany's 10-year Bund climbed to 3.07%, and the U.K.'s 10-year gilt advanced to 4.96%. Japan's 10-year government bond yield held near 2.87%, its highest level in decades, while yields in Australia, Canada, India, Brazil, and Russia also moved higher as investors priced in the risk of persistent inflation from higher energy costs. The repricing followed renewed military exchanges between the U.S. and Iran that reignited concerns over disruptions to oil shipments through the Strait of Hormuz, sending crude prices sharply higher and reversing expectations that easing energy costs would support a more dovish monetary policy outlook. U.S. President Donald Trump said the fragile truce between the U.S. and Iran was over after renewed strikes. Markets have also become increasingly hawkish on the Federal Reserve. A chart showed fed funds futures now implying about 46 basis points of cumulative rate hikes through next May, with the implied policy rate rising from 3.63% this month to just over 4.0% by May before easing slightly thereafter. Here is the chart posted by Mike Zaccardi: Fed funds Prediction markets are echoing that shift. Kalshi traders assigned a 56% probability that the Fed delivers another rate hike before the end of 2027. The implied odds rise to 61% before July 2027 and 74% before 2028, underscoring growing expectations that U.S. interest rates could remain higher for longer. Investors now turn to the release of the Federal Reserve's June meeting minutes for further clues on how policymakers are balancing renewed geopolitical risks against the inflation outlook.
