ASML has added another 3.2% this week to close at €1,508.40, and the arithmetic problem that defined the last two notes has not resolved — it has deepened. The valuation story is the standout this week. The trailing…
2330 enters the new week with its domestic borrow market holding at elevated levels — and the question now is whether the jump in borrowing costs that was still accelerating on June 8 has found a ceiling, or is simply…
SoftBank Group enters the week of its upcoming earnings with a jarring split between price action and short-side positioning — an 18% weekly drop that bears have barely leaned into. The price collapse is the headline.…
United Microelectronics Corporation (2303) enters the week with a striking divergence: the stock fell nearly 10% across the past five trading days, yet the lending market is telling a very different story — shorts are…

Ormat Technologies heads into the summer with an unusual split: short sellers are cutting positions aggressively, yet options traders have just turned the most defensively positioned they have been all year. The most…
