3. Market Observation｜Technology and AI Sectors Under Pressure

On August 18, 2026, US stocks continued their adjustment trend, with market pressure further concentrated in large technology, AI, and semiconductor sectors.

The Nasdaq Composite Index’s decline was significantly greater than that of the Dow Jones and S&P 500, indicating a decreased risk appetite for high-valuation growth sectors.

The semiconductor sector was one of the main drags, with NVIDIA, Micron, Broadcom and other AI industry chain-related stocks generally experiencing pullbacks.

The market is currently focused on two main aspects.

On one hand, AI related asset valuation pressure has increased.

Previously, the AI and semiconductor sectors had been rising continuously, with some related stocks accumulating considerable gains. With valuations at high levels, the market is starting to pay more attention to whether future corporate earnings growth can justify current valuations.

On the other hand, US Treasury yields remain high.

A higher long-term interest rate environment increases the discount rate on growth companies’ future cash flows, making technology stocks typically more sensitive to interest rate changes.

For the TEBBIT US stock perpetual market, if volatility in the technology sector continues to expand,NVDAUSDT, METAUSDT, SNDKUSDT and other related targets may experience more pronounced short-term fluctuations.

 

4. Key Target｜NVDAUSDT

NVIDIA Retraced About 2.6% on August 18

NVIDIA remains an important observation target within the current AI industry chain and the US tech sector.

On August 18, 2026, NVIDIA’s stock price fell about 2.6%, weakening in line with other semiconductor and AI related stocks.

After a prolonged rise in the AI and semiconductor sectors, the market saw some profit-taking.

Currently, the main factors affecting NVIDIA short-term performance include:

1. AI industry growth expectations;
2. Semiconductor sector valuation levels;
3. US long-term Treasury yields;
4. AI capital investment and future profitability;
5. Overall US stock market risk appetite;
6. Global macroeconomic and geopolitical environment.

For NVDAUSDT traders, it is advisable to closely watch NVIDIA’s trading volume, price performance after the US market reopens, and overall capital flow in the technology sector.

If the technology sector continues to weaken, NVDA may see further amplified short-term volatility; if market risk appetite rebounds, the previously strong AI leader could also experience a rapid rebound.

 

5. Market Focus Today

1. US Corporate Earnings Reports

On August 19, 2026, US corporate earnings reports continue to enter an important phase.

Key focus:

Pre-market:

1. Target (TGT)
2. Lowe’s (LOW)
3. TJX Companies (TJX)
4. Analog Devices (ADI)

Retail earnings reports will provide further clues for the market to assess US consumer spending, demand, and corporate operating conditions.

Sales data and management commentary from Target, Lowe’s, TJX and others may serve as important references for gauging US consumer conditions.

Stock prices of these companies may experience significant volatility before and after earnings releases, and TEBBIT corresponding perpetual contract prices and market liquidity may also change accordingly.

 

2. Federal Reserve July FOMC Meeting Minutes

Release Time: Beijing Time August 20, 02:00

The Federal Reserve’s July FOMC meeting minutes will be one of the key macro market events this week.

The market will focus on the Fed’s further statements on:

1. Inflation trends;
2. Labor market;
3. Interest rate policy;
4. Future rate hike or cut paths;
5. Internal policy disagreements within the Fed.

The July meeting maintained rates unchanged, but the policy stance remains highly watched by the market.

If the minutes release a more hawkish policy signal, US Treasury yields may rise further, putting pressure on high-valuation tech stocks.

Conversely, if the market perceives a more cautious Fed policy ahead, growth-oriented tech stocks may receive some support.

 

6. Trading Session Reminders for Today

Main US Stock Trading Hours｜Beijing Time 21:30–04:00 (next day)

During the main US stock trading session, market participants are more concentrated, and price discovery and market liquidity are typically more adequate.

For TEBBIT US stock perpetual trading, this period usually also sees higher market attention and price volatility.

US Stock Pre-market｜16:00–21:30

Liquidity for some stocks may be relatively low during the pre-market phase.

Significant news, company announcements, or earnings releases may cause rapid price changes in related targets.

US Stock After-hours｜04:00–08:00

Some listed companies may release earnings or major announcements after US stock market close, so price changes in related targets during after-hours also require attention.

US Stock Market Closed Period

TEBBIT US stock-related perpetual products may continue trading, but the corresponding stock spot market is closed.

Traders should pay special attention to:

1. Changes in market liquidity;
2. Widening bid-ask spreads;
3. Impact of external market news;
4. Price gaps at the next trading day US stock market open;
5. Overnight volatility caused by earnings and macro events.

Key focus today:

FOMC meeting minutes, US corporate earnings, and performance of major tech stocks such as NVDA, META and others.

 

7. Key Observations for Today

① NVDAUSDT

Focus on whether NVIDIA sees capital inflow after the previous day’s pullback and changes in trading volume after US market open.

② METAUSDT

Meta fell about 4.0% on August 18, 2026, showing a relatively significant decline among major tech stocks, with short-term volatility worth monitoring.

③ SNDKUSDT

SanDisk dropped about 9.5% on August 18, 2026, significantly exceeding the broader market and other key tech stocks, making it one of the currently high-volatility targets.

④ SPYUSDT

SPY can serve as an important reference target for observing overall market risk appetite in the S&P 500.

⑤ US 10-Year Treasury Yield

Changes in the 10-year US Treasury yield remain a key macro variable for judging current valuation pressure on growth stocks.

If Treasury yields continue to stay high, technology and growth stocks may continue to face valuation pressure.
