US stock indexes rise Tuesday; Nasdaq up 1% as chip stocks rebound before a heavy earnings week

US equity markets rose in Tuesday trading, 21 July 2026. The Nasdaq climbed about 1 percent, led by a rebound in semiconductor stocks, while the S&P 500 gained around 0.6 percent and the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose about 0.5 percent. Nvidia shares added about 1 percent after the chipmaker disclosed a stake in the neocloud provider Nebius. Investors are heading into a heavy earnings week: Alphabet and Tesla report quarterly results on Wednesday and Intel on Thursday, with 77 S&P 500 members reporting in all this week. Tuesday's advance followed Monday's decline, when worries over US-Iran tensions had dragged the market lower.

Japan's Nikkei jumps 3.3% on Tuesday as buyers return to chip stocks

Tokyo's Nikkei 225 index closed Tuesday, July 21, up 2,091 points, or 3.26 percent, at 66,232, while the broader TOPIX gained 2.44 percent to 4,015. The jump was a technical rebound after a three-day decline, as investors, with last week's worries easing, returned to semiconductor and artificial-intelligence-related shares. In the currency market, the dollar traded in the mid-162 yen range, a tailwind for Japan's export-oriented stocks. Market attention now turns to upcoming earnings reports from major US technology companies.

India's stocks fall on Tuesday under oil pressure, Sensex below 77,500

India's BSE Sensex closed Tuesday, July 21, down 238 points, or 0.31 percent, at 77,470, while the Nifty 50 fell 51 points (0.21 percent) to 24,188. The main driver was Brent crude holding around $90 a barrel amid West Asia tensions and news of mediation between the US and Iran. India is one of the world's largest oil importers, and a sustained rise in oil prices increases the risk of inflation, a wider trade deficit, and pressure on corporate profits. Among stocks, Cipla was the weakest performer, down about 2 percent, while information-technology and automaker shares also declined.

According to exchange board data, retail turnover in shares, rights offerings and equity funds reached about 11,492 billion tomans, and close to 3.7 trillion tomans of net real money inflow entered the equity market. The advance came even as markets stayed sensitive to the war and to swings in the currency and gold, with part of equity demand typically reflecting inflation expectations.

US stock futures rise on Tuesday as corporate earnings season gets underway

Futures on the main US stock indexes rose ahead of Tuesday's session, 30 Tir 1405 (21 July 2026): Dow Jones futures were up about 0.4 percent, S&P 500 futures about 0.5 percent and Nasdaq 100 futures about 1.4 percent. Investors are entering the heart of the corporate earnings season: General Motors and 3M report on Tuesday, while Alphabet, Tesla and IBM are due later in the week. Markets continue to track the US-Iran war; reports of a proposed 10-day ceasefire and a modest pullback in oil prices in early Tuesday trading helped improve risk appetite. For Iran's market, the direction of Wall Street and expectations for Federal Reserve interest rates matter through the channel of the dollar and global gold.

Asian stocks rise on Tuesday, July 21, as Nikkei gains 2.2% and chipmakers rebound

Asia-Pacific stock markets rose on Tuesday, July 21, gaining for the first time in four days. The MSCI Asia Pacific Index climbed 1.7 percent, benchmark equity gauges in South Korea and Taiwan each rose more than 2.5 percent, and Japan's Nikkei 225 added 2.2 percent as trading resumed after a Monday holiday. The advance was led mainly by chipmakers, with Samsung Electronics and TSMC among the biggest contributors, while a pullback in oil prices helped improve risk appetite. The gains followed last week's slump, when the Nikkei fell about 6.4 percent on Friday. Investors are now awaiting earnings from technology megacaps this week for signs of whether the AI-driven rally can continue. The direction of Asian markets follows global risk sentiment and oil prices, and also feeds into expectations in Iran's market.

European markets close cautiously on Monday; London's FTSE 100 falls 0.69%

European stock markets closed cautiously and mostly slightly lower on Monday, 20 July 2026, as investors weighed a jump in oil prices, a slide in AI related shares, and the wait for US big tech earnings. London's FTSE 100 fell 0.69% to about 10,527 points. The pan European STOXX 600 also edged lower, closing near 642, while Germany's DAX was little changed. Energy names such as TotalEnergies gained on higher oil, while AI linked stocks stayed under selling pressure. For Iran's market, the direction of European equities alongside oil prices feeds into global inflation expectations and the interest rate path.

Indian stocks fall on higher oil and West Asia tensions; Sensex down 0.57%

The BSE Sensex closed down 443 points, or 0.57%, at 77,708 on Monday, July 20, 2026, while the Nifty 50 slipped 96 points, or 0.39%, to 24,238.

By sector, the state-run (PSU) bank index rose 2.78% while the private bank index dropped 2.27%. India is one of the world's largest oil importers and is highly sensitive to energy prices and the Strait of Hormuz route.

The Shanghai Composite index closed 0.85% higher at 3,796 points on Monday, July 20, 2026, while the Shenzhen Component fell 0.71% to 13,610 points. The gains followed statements by two state-owned firms that they had recently spent about 60 billion yuan (nearly 8.9 billion dollars) buying stocks, helping to support the market even as tech shares extended their slide. China is the largest buyer of Iranian oil, so the direction of its equity and currency markets matters for Iran's economy.

Ryanair quarterly profit falls 34% as the Iran-war jet-fuel spike bites; net profit €538 million

Ryanair, the low-cost airline, said on Monday, July 20, 2026 that net profit for the first quarter of its financial year (April to June) fell 34% from a year earlier to €538 million, down from €820 million. The main causes were a surge in jet-fuel prices amid the Iran war and the Strait of Hormuz crisis, along with a 6% drop in average fares to €48. Ryanair had left unhedged the roughly 20% of its fuel that trades at market rates, and the cost of that portion more than doubled over the quarter to about $150 a barrel. Operating costs rose 11% to €3.42 billion while revenue edged up just 1% to €4.38 billion. Passenger traffic grew 6% to 61.3 million, and Ryanair shares fell more than 5% on Monday.

Persian Gulf bourses close lower on Monday as Iran-US hostilities escalate

Most stock markets across the Persian Gulf closed lower on Monday, 20 July (29 Tir), as military tensions between Iran and the United States escalated and Tehran claimed it had sealed the Strait of Hormuz. Higher oil prices and renewed global inflation fears added to selling pressure on regional exchanges. Saudi Arabia's benchmark Tadawul index eased 0.2 percent, with oil giant Saudi Aramco down 1.1 percent. Dubai's main index fell 0.4 percent, as lender Emirates NBD and budget airline Air Arabia each lost 1.1 percent. Abu Dhabi's index slipped 0.3 percent, with Abu Dhabi Islamic Bank down about 1 percent. Because the region's economies depend heavily on oil exports and sit along the Strait of Hormuz, Persian Gulf bourses are among the markets most sensitive to developments in the Iran-US conflict.

Japan's Nikkei ends the week down 6.4 percent as chip selloff and war weigh on Asian stocks

Japan's Nikkei 225 fell 5.8 percent to 62,946 on Friday, July 17, 2026, ending the week down 6.4 percent. A selloff in chipmakers and AI-related shares, alongside worries over the US-Iran war and surging oil prices, weighed on the market. Taiwanese shares also dropped more than 5 percent, and MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan slid more than 2 percent. India held up better: Mumbai's Sensex traded up about 0.6 percent and the Nifty about 0.5 percent on Friday. The Hormuz-driven oil surge and inflation worries have sharpened risk aversion across Asian markets.

Tehran stocks fall for a third day on Sunday; the overall index slips about 22,000 points to around 4.755 million

Tehran Stock Exchange's overall index (TEDPIX) closed Sunday, 19 July 2026, down about 21,784 points, roughly 0.46 percent, at around 4,755,500. It was the third straight daily decline, but far milder than Saturday 18 July, when the index shed more than 2 percent and about 120,000 points; selling pressure eased somewhat. The over-the-counter Iran Fara Bourse index (IFX) also fell Sunday, down about 210 points, roughly 0.56 percent, to around 37,293. Market reports pointed to continued real-money outflows and seller dominance in trading. The pullback came amid the ongoing military tensions and swings in the currency and gold markets; on the same day the free-market dollar hovered near 193,000 tomans and coin prices stayed close to record highs.

Gulf bourses stay subdued on Sunday as Saudi index edges higher

Gulf stock markets traded subdued and cautious on Sunday, July 19, 2026, as Iran and the United States exchanged missile and drone strikes and the Strait of Hormuz stayed closed. Saudi Arabia's benchmark index (TASI) edged up about 0.1 percent, helped by a roughly 0.2 percent rise in Aramco shares, holding up better than most regional markets. Gulf investors remain worried about a widening of the conflict and its effect on oil exports and the regional economy. Most of these markets had also closed lower on Saturday, and the Saudi index fell for a third straight month in June.

Most Persian Gulf stock markets fall as the Iran-US war escalates; Saudi bourse proves more resilient

As the Iran-US conflict escalated, most Persian Gulf stock markets fell in recent sessions. Abu Dhabi's index dropped 0.5 percent and Dubai's main index fell 0.3 percent, while Saudi Arabia's benchmark (TASI) eased 0.2 percent and oil major Aramco slid 1.1 percent. Even so, the Saudi bourse, helped by Red Sea export terminals that bypass the Strait of Hormuz and by deeper liquidity, was the only Gulf market where foreign institutional investors were still deploying capital. Qatar's stock exchange stayed closed following the death of the country's former emir, Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani. Analysts warn that Qatar's economy, heavily dependent on LNG exports via Hormuz, is more exposed than its regional peers if the crisis persists.

Tehran Stock Exchange main index falls more than 2% on Saturday, slipping into the 4.7 million channel

The Tehran Stock Exchange main index (TEDPIX) fell about 107,000 points (close to 2.2 percent) at the open on Saturday, 27 Tir 1405 (18 July 2026), slipping back into the 4.7 million point channel. By around midday the same day, according to Sahmino price data, the decline had deepened to roughly 2.5 percent and a level near 4,773,000 points, while the over-the-counter Iran Farabourse index (IFX) was also down about 2 percent. Selling pressure was seen across most listed symbols, with reports indicating roughly two thirds of the market's tickers in the red. The banking, automotive, basic metals, chemical products, refining and investment company groups played the biggest role in the index's fall. The drop extended last week's downtrend and coincided with the Iran-U.S. military escalation and a fresh record for the free-market dollar around 192,000 tomans.

Wall Street ends the week lower: S&P 500 falls 1.01% Friday, Nasdaq down 2.9% for the week

The main U.S. stock indexes closed lower on Friday, July 17, 2026, with all three finishing the week in the red. The S&P 500 fell 1.01% to 7,457.69, the Nasdaq Composite dropped 1.4% to 25,520.24, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average lost about 407 points (0.77%) to end at 52,146.42. For the week, the S&P 500 shed roughly 1.6%, the Nasdaq 2.9%, and the Dow nearly 1%. The rout was led by a heavy sell-off in semiconductor stocks: the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index (SOX) entered bear-market territory and marked its worst week since the April 2025 tariff turmoil. The unveiling of a new AI model from Chinese startup Moonshot and a rotation out of richly priced tech names into economically sensitive shares added to the pressure.

Philadelphia chip index enters bear market; about $3.3 trillion in global chip value erased since June 22

The Philadelphia Semiconductor Index (SOX) fell as much as 5.7% on Friday, July 17, 2026, deepening its drop from a late-June record to more than 20% and pushing the gauge into bear-market territory. According to Bloomberg data, roughly $3.3 trillion in global chip-stock market value has been erased since June 22. Before this slide, the 30-stock benchmark had soared about 105% from its March low to last month's peak. Shares of Marvell, ARM and Intel have each fallen more than 30% over that span. Friday's decline followed worries that the heavy spending on artificial intelligence is becoming harder to justify, compounded by the unveiling of the "Kimi K3" model by Chinese startup Moonshot. By Friday midday US Eastern time, Wall Street's main indexes were also trading lower, and Netflix shares dropped about 11% after a weak sales outlook. The selloff has no direct bearing on Iran's markets, but it reinforces a broad risk-off mood that feeds through to oil, gold and crypto prices.

China's Moonshot unveils Kimi K3 AI model as chip stocks tumble worldwide

Chinese startup Moonshot AI on Friday, July 17, 2026, unveiled its new AI model, Kimi K3. The company says the model, with 2.8 trillion parameters, is the world's largest open-weight model and trails only the most advanced US models on benchmark tests. The full model weights are due for public release on July 27. The launch triggered a wave of selling in semiconductor and AI stocks, with investors comparing it to the 2025 DeepSeek moment, when a Chinese lab released a model on par with US rivals at a fraction of the cost. The Philadelphia Semiconductor Index (SOX) fell about 24% from its late-June record on Friday, formally entering a bear market and heading for its worst week since spring 2025. Moonshot, backed by Alibaba, has been valued at around $31.5 billion in an ongoing funding round.

TSMC Lifts 2026 Capex to as Much as $64 Billion, Targets Over 40% Revenue Growth

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC), the world's largest chipmaker, raised its 2026 capital-spending plan to a range of $60 billion to $64 billion in its quarterly report on Thursday, July 16, at least $4 billion above its previous estimate. Most of the spending is earmarked for advanced technologies serving artificial-intelligence and high-performance-computing customers. The company also lifted its revenue-growth outlook for the year to more than 40%, up from a prior forecast of around 30%. Despite the strong figures, TSMC shares fell about 4.6% in premarket trading, as some investors questioned the long-run returns on such a large AI investment. The surge in spending, and doubts over AI valuations, helped fuel a wave of selling in chip stocks across Asian and US markets this week.

TSMC pledges another $100 billion for US plants, taking its total commitment to $265 billion

TSMC, the world's largest contract chipmaker, said on Thursday, July 16, 2026, that it will add another $100 billion to its US investment, lifting its total commitment to $265 billion. The White House and the US Commerce Department confirmed the increase. According to the Commerce Department, the new sum will fund up to four more plants, bringing TSMC's US facilities to 12, focused on 2 nanometer chips. The announcement came alongside second-quarter results: net profit jumped 77% to a record 706.6 billion New Taiwan dollars (about $22 billion), and the company raised its 2026 revenue growth forecast to slightly above 40%. On Friday, July 17, TSMC shares fell 6.1% and Taiwan's overall market dropped 5.9%, as part of the market grew cautious about the heavy capital spending the plan implies.

Netflix stock falls about 9% to an 18-month low after weak Q3 outlook

Netflix reported its second-quarter 2026 results on Thursday, July 16, 2026 (after the US market close): revenue of $12.56 billion, slightly below the roughly $12.58 billion analysts expected, and earnings per share of $0.80, about a penny ahead of forecasts. Despite results broadly in line with expectations, the stock fell about 9% in after-hours trading to an 18-month low, and is down roughly 21% so far in 2026. The main driver was weaker-than-expected third-quarter guidance: Netflix projected about 12% revenue growth for Q3, below Wall Street's estimate of roughly $13 billion. The company narrowed its full-year 2026 revenue range to $51.0 billion to $51.4 billion and kept its operating margin outlook unchanged at 31.5%. Netflix also said it will publish fewer metrics on user engagement going forward.

European Oil and Gas Shares Rise on the Oil Spike While Main Indices Waver

European equity markets were choppy and subdued on Thursday, July 16, as the US-Iran conflict and a jump in oil prices weighed on sentiment. Oil and gas shares and basic-resource stocks, by contrast, rose on the back of higher crude and outperformed the broader market. Brent crude has traded near a one-month high, around $85 a barrel, this week. Investors also weighed softer US inflation data, which has dampened expectations of a Federal Reserve rate hike, against the risk of a further spike in energy prices. The dollar hovered near a one-month low.

The stock had been under pressure previously on worries about rising medical costs.

Chip selloff turns Asian markets red; South Korea's KOSPI falls 6.3% Thursday

Asian equity markets turned red on Thursday, July 16, 2026, under a wave of selling in semiconductor shares, and even record quarterly earnings from Taiwan's TSMC could not halt the slide. South Korea's KOSPI plunged 6.3 percent, with Samsung Electronics down about 8 percent and SK Hynix down nearly 11 percent. The drop came just two days after the KOSPI's powerful rebound. Japan's Nikkei 225 fell around 3 percent, while Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index rose, bucking the broader trend. Analysts said the selling reflected extremely high investor expectations for AI-driven growth rather than weak corporate performance.

TSMC's second-quarter net profit jumps 77% to a record NT$706 billion

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSMC), the world's largest contract chipmaker, released its full second-quarter 2026 financial results on Thursday, 16 July 2026. Net profit jumped about 77% year-on-year to a record NT$706.6 billion (roughly $22 billion), far exceeding analysts' NT$632.6 billion estimate (based on LSEG data). It was the company's fifth consecutive record-profit quarter. Second-quarter revenue had already been reported at a record NT$1.27 trillion (about $39.6 billion), up 36% from NT$933.79 billion a year earlier. The main driver was robust global demand for the AI chips TSMC manufactures for giants such as Nvidia, Apple and Broadcom. Management had earlier raised its 2026 revenue-growth outlook to above 30% in US dollar terms and set this year's capital budget at a record $52 billion to $56 billion. As the maker of the world's most advanced chips, TSMC's performance is treated as a barometer of technology-sector demand and AI investment.

India's Sensex and Nifty close marginally higher after surrendering morning gains as oil and US-Iran tensions weigh

India's BSE Sensex closed up 130.49 points, or 0.17 percent, at 77,185.43 on Wednesday, July 15, 2026, while the NSE Nifty 50 added 26.45 points, or 0.11 percent, to 24,078.50. The market, which had opened with a jump, gave back much of its morning gains. Buying in banking, financial services, capital goods and oil and gas stocks offset weakness in metals, IT and consumer shares. The continued rise in oil prices and the US-Iran conflict over the Strait of Hormuz pushed investors to book profits; higher oil, of which India imports the bulk of its needs, is a key risk to the country's inflation and to the rupee.

United Airlines tops Q2 estimates but warns of nearly $6 billion fuel-cost hit from the oil surge

After the US market close on Wednesday, July 15, 2026, United Airlines reported second-quarter adjusted earnings of $1.99 per share on revenue of $17.67 billion, both above analyst expectations of $1.88 and $17.61 billion.

Aircraft fuel expense jumped 84 percent from last year to $5.11 billion in the quarter, at an average $4.19 per gallon. The airline said higher oil prices tied to the Strait of Hormuz tensions could add close to $6 billion to its full-year fuel bill. United raised its full-year adjusted profit outlook to $9 to $11 per share, but guided third-quarter earnings to $2.50 to $3.50, below the $3.60 analysts expected, sending the stock down about 4 percent after hours.

Tehran bourse falls again on Wednesday; the main index stays below 4.9 million points

The Tehran Stock Exchange's main index (TEDPIX) closed on Wednesday, July 15, 2026, down about 31,000 points (0.63 percent) at 4,893,000, extending its decline to a fifth consecutive trading session. On Tuesday the index had closed at about 4,924,000 points. The drop came on a day when the free-market dollar reached around 187,000 tomans and 18-carat gold entered the 18-million-toman channel, a sign of liquidity rotating toward parallel markets amid regional tensions. Selling pressure and an outflow of retail money have been the main drivers of the equity market's retreat in recent days.

South Korea's Kospi surges more than 7% in a powerful rebound two days after 'Black Monday'

South Korea's Kospi surged more than 7% on Wednesday, July 15, 2026, with intraday gains reaching about 8% and pushing past the 7,400 level. This time, as buying accelerated, a buy-side trading curb (sidecar) was triggered, just two days after the July 13 "Black Monday," when the index closed down 8.95% and a sell-side circuit breaker was set off. Chipmakers led the rebound. SK Hynix rose about 11% (up to nearly 13% at one point) after its US-listed ADR jumped roughly 27% overnight on Wall Street, while Samsung Electronics also gained. The move was driven by softer-than-expected US June inflation data (an annual rate of 3.5% versus a 3.8% forecast), which trimmed bets on a Federal Reserve rate hike, along with heavy foreign buying and signs of strong AI-chip demand. The Kospi's jump was part of a broader Asian rally: Japan's Nikkei 225 rose about 1.4% and the MSCI Asia Pacific equity gauge climbed around 1.6%. For Iranian traders, a return of risk appetite in global markets serves as a gauge of the overall risk mood and of behaviour in the crypto and tether market.

Persian Gulf Bourses Fall on Tuesday as US-Iran Tensions Escalate; Saudi Tadawul Down 0.8%

Most Persian Gulf stock markets closed lower on Tuesday, July 14, 2026, as investors turned cautious after the United States resumed its naval blockade of Iran and both sides intensified strikes around the Strait of Hormuz. Saudi Arabia's benchmark Tadawul index fell 0.8%, with Al Rajhi Bank down 1.7%, though oil major Aramco rose 1.4% as crude prices climbed. Dubai's main index dropped 1.3%, even as the emirate's largest lender, Emirates NBD, gained 2.7%. Concern over disruption to global energy supply through the Strait of Hormuz was the main pressure on these markets.

Asian markets surge Wednesday; South Korea's KOSPI jumps about 7% and reclaims the 7,000 mark

Asian equity indices rebounded sharply on Wednesday, July 15, 2026, recovering much of the previous week's steep losses. South Korea's KOSPI climbed about 6.98%, reclaimed the 7,000-point level, and traded near 7,335 intraday; SK Hynix jumped more than 9% and Samsung Electronics rose close to 5.9%. Japan's Nikkei 225 added about 1.4%, with semiconductor makers leading the advance. The main driver was softer-than-expected US June inflation data (an annual rate of 3.5%), which eased fears of aggressive Federal Reserve rate hikes, while a rotation back into chip stocks after the sharp early-week selloff, which had driven Seoul's Monday 'Black Monday' plunge of nearly 9%, fueled the surge. The rebound reflects a partial easing of the global risk aversion that spiked last week amid heightened US-Iran tensions and Strait of Hormuz concerns.

IBM Shares Plunge More Than 23% in Worst Day in Decades After Q2 Revenue Miss

IBM shares plunged more than 23% in Wall Street trading on Tuesday, July 14, the technology group's steepest one-day drop in decades. The slide followed the company's disclosure that second-quarter revenue came in at about $17.2 billion, short of analyst estimates of roughly $17.9 billion, while adjusted earnings were $2.93 per share versus a forecast of $3.02. The fall erased about $65 billion of the company's market value. CEO Arvind Krishna attributed the miss to weakness in the software and infrastructure businesses, saying clients had shifted part of their spending away from software toward hardware, including AI servers and memory chips. IBM's collapse triggered a wave of selling in software peers such as Salesforce, Adobe and Intuit, and it was the single heaviest drag on the S&P 500 and the Dow, muting Wall Street's early gains after a softer-than-expected US inflation reading.

European stocks fall on Tuesday under oil-spike pressure; London's FTSE holds gains on oil majors

European equity markets fell on Tuesday, July 14, 2026, as a jump in oil prices driven by Strait of Hormuz tensions weighed on sentiment. The STOXX 600 and STOXX 50 each declined about 0.5%, Germany's DAX lost 0.3% and France's CAC 40 fell 0.2%, while London's FTSE 100 rose about 0.2%, supported by its heavy weighting in large oil companies. Energy shares bucked the trend: Shell gained 1.6%, TotalEnergies 2% and BP 2.7%, with Italy's ENI also rising. Investors worry that costlier oil could fuel inflation and raise the odds of interest-rate hikes. For Iran's market, these moves matter through the channel of global oil prices and the broader global risk mood.

The Nasdaq rose about 1 percent on strength in technology shares and the S&P 500 gained about 0.4 percent, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average held near, and just below, its opening level. The main driver was the softer-than-expected June inflation report, which eased worries about a rate hike.

Tehran Stock Exchange falls for a fourth straight session; main index holds below 5 million on a 1.75% drop

The Tehran Stock Exchange's main index (TEDPIX) closed on Tuesday, 14 July 2026, down about 1.75 percent, shedding nearly 89,000 points to around 4,967,000 units, and held below the 5 million mark for a fourth consecutive session. The sell-off was accompanied by an outflow of roughly 4,000 billion tomans of retail (real) money from the market. Analysts cited political and regional risks, worry over tension in the Strait of Hormuz, and the prospect of higher interest rates as the main drivers of the continued decline. Even so, some groups such as pharmaceuticals showed signs of returning demand. The same day's jump in the free-market dollar above 180,000 tomans has pulled part of retail liquidity out of equities and toward the currency and gold markets.

South Korea's KOSPI rebounds on Tuesday after 'Black Monday,' up over 2% in morning trade

South Korea's KOSPI index rebounded on Tuesday, July 14, 2026, after plunging 8.95% the previous day in a session dubbed 'Black Monday.' The index opened at 6,769 (down 0.56%) but quickly recovered, trading at 6,952 by 10:01 a.m. Seoul time, a gain of 2.14%. Buying by institutional investors, which reached about 1.62 trillion won by then, drove the advance, with the semiconductor sector leading the recovery. Samsung Electronics rose 5.89% and SK Hynix gained 4.5%. The bounce after the near 9% drop was seen largely as bargain hunting, against a backdrop of worries over an escalating US-Iran conflict and fears of a peak in memory-chip prices.

TSMC posts record second-quarter revenue, up 36%; June sales surge 68%

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSMC), the world's largest contract chipmaker, reported on Monday, July 13, 2026, that second-quarter revenue (April to June) rose 36% year-on-year to a record NT$1.27 trillion (about $39.63 billion). The figure came in slightly above analysts' NT$1.264 trillion estimate and near the top of the company's own guidance of $39 billion to $40.2 billion. Demand for AI chips drove the growth. June revenue alone jumped 67.9% to NT$442.68 billion, and first-half 2026 sales reached NT$2.40 trillion, up 35.6% from a year earlier. TSMC will release its full second-quarter results, including net profit and margins, at its earnings conference on Thursday, July 16. As the main manufacturer of Nvidia's and Apple's chips, its performance is treated as a barometer of global technology demand.

South Korea's Kospi crashes 8.95% in a 'Black Monday'; Seoul trading halted

South Korea's Kospi closed down 8.95% at 6,806.93 on Monday, July 13, 2026, a plunge local media dubbed a "Black Monday." After the index's loss widened past 8% at 1:28 p.m. local time, the Korea Exchange triggered a circuit breaker that halted trading for 20 minutes, the seventh such halt on the Kospi this year. Chipmakers led the rout. SK Hynix tumbled 15.37% to about 1.85 million won, its biggest one-day drop on record, surpassing the 14.93% fall during the 2008 financial crisis. Samsung Electronics fell 10.70% to close at 254,500 won. Analysts cited three drivers: fears that the semiconductor upcycle has peaked, profit-taking after SK Hynix's U.S. ADR listing on July 10, and the escalating U.S. and Iran conflict in West Asia, which lifted oil and stoked global risk-off sentiment. The chip selloff spread to Wall Street, where Nvidia, Broadcom and Micron each fell roughly 3% to 4%.

US stocks split in Monday trading on 13 July 2026. The Dow Jones rose about 0.1 percent, while the S&P 500 fell close to 0.3 percent and the Nasdaq dropped roughly 0.7 percent. A jump in oil prices, driven by a fresh exchange of US and Iranian strikes over the Strait of Hormuz, lifted energy shares such as ExxonMobil, ConocoPhillips and Chevron by about 1 percent, while chip and memory makers including Micron, Western Digital and SanDisk fell by nearly 5 percent, weighing most heavily on the Nasdaq. In the same session, Brent crude rose about 3.4 percent to near 77.7 dollars a barrel and West Texas Intermediate gained roughly 3.5 percent to near 72.9 dollars. US investors were also awaiting June consumer inflation data and the start of the big banks' earnings season in the days ahead.

Petrobras Jumps 1.8% as Oil Rallies and Brazilian Real Firms; Vale Sheds 4.6% on Weak Iron Ore

In Brazilian market trading reported by Rio Times Online on Thursday, July 9, 2026 (18 Tir 1405), Petrobras shares rose 1.8% as global oil prices jumped on renewed Iran-US tensions and heightened risk of a Strait of Hormuz shutdown.
