According to Jinshi Data, just weeks after Samsung Electronics' market value surpassed the trillion-dollar mark, SK Hynix is also poised to enter this trillion-dollar market value club. Thanks to strong demand in the artificial intelligence sector, South Korea has become the core area of this round of AI boom in Asia. After achieving an astonishing 274% increase in 2025, SK Hynix's stock price has further soared over 200% this year.Once SK Hynix follows Samsung in crossing the trillion-dollar market value threshold, South Korea will become the first market outside the United States to have more than two companies with a market value exceeding one trillion dollars.

The International Energy Agency (IEA) warned on Wednesday that global oil inventories are declining at a record pace, and the ongoing turmoil caused by the Iran war could lead to further spikes in oil prices. In April, crude oil and refined product inventories fell by nearly 4 million barrels per day—equivalent to the combined consumption of the UK and Germany—potentially weakening countries' ability to cope with supply shocks.The report stated: "As importing countries face unprecedented disruptions in Middle Eastern oil supplies, world oil inventories are declining at a record pace. With ongoing disruptions, the buffer space is rapidly shrinking, which could signal future price surges."

According to Jinshi reports, CITIC Securities' research report states that U.S. inflation continued to be elevated in April, and the spillover effects of the Middle East conflict are still ongoing, with rising rental inflation pushing up core readings. High inflation continues to erode the real purchasing power of American households, with low-income families facing a stronger cost shock, and real hourly wages have returned to negative growth year-on-year for the first time in three years. CITIC Securities believes that the risk of secondary inflation in the U.S. is low, but high oil prices will constrain the space for inflation rates to decline within the year, and under the baseline scenario, it still expects the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates by 25 basis points within the year.

According to Sina Finance, 21Shares analyst Matt Mena stated that Bitcoin did not decline due to inflation data, indicating that the market has already priced in the overheating inflation data and remains above the important support level of $80,000.Mena believes that as macro resistance is gradually cleared, Bitcoin is expected to retest the resistance level of $82,000 and further advance towards $85,000. The upcoming Senate vote on the CLARITY Act may also become an important catalyst, pushing the price to $90,000.

According to Jinshi reports, Federal Reserve's Goolsbee stated that the worst part of the April Consumer Price Index is the inflation in the service industry.

Bernstein reiterated its "Outperform" rating on Figure Technology Solutions (FIGR) and maintained a target price of $67, implying about a 72% upside from the current stock price of $38.97. Figure's Q1 2026 performance was strong: loan issuance reached $2.9 billion, a year-on-year increase of 113%; adjusted revenue was $167 million, a year-on-year increase of 92%, exceeding market expectations by 6%; adjusted EBITDA was $82.7 million, with a profit margin of about 50%, slightly above market expectations. However, the GAAP diluted EPS was $0.18, about 9% below expectations, primarily impacted by $26 million in equity incentive expenses.Bernstein's analysis suggests that this performance should reshape the market's perception of Figure, as it is not a traditional credit company, but rather a "tokenization-driven capital market platform," with core profits coming from network fees and operational leverage, and it maintains a pricing model based on a 25x EBITDA valuation for 2027. Additionally, the tokenization ecosystem continues to expand: the yield-bearing security token YLDS reached $598 million (up 80% quarter-on-quarter); the balance of stock lending products was $368 million (up 79%); and the small business loan segment contributed $6 million in revenue. Figure's current stock price is still not far from the 2025 IPO issue price of $36, but there remains a significant gap from the historical high of $78.

Bernstein stated that it maintains a target price of $190 for Circle (CRCL): Although the decline in interest rates led to a quarter-over-quarter drop in reserve income of 11%, Q1 revenue of $694 million was slightly below expectations, but adjusted EBITDA reached $151 million, exceeding consensus by about 10%. Analysts pointed out that Circle's $222 million ARC token presale, completed at a fully diluted valuation of $3 billion, along with robust growth in USDC supply reaching $77 billion (a year-on-year increase of 28%), provides a buffer for the company.According to Gate's market data, Circle's stock closed at $131.76 on Monday, with the target price implying about a 44% upside. Bernstein reiterated that the upcoming launch of the Arc Layer 1 mainnet, the expansion of the payment network, and its leading position in AI agent payments (x402 standard) will support the long-term growth of USDC and maintain the fiscal year 2026 guidance unchanged.
