[SpaceX rose nearly 12% in the intraday period, and Damo is optimistic about its two structural advantages]

Compared to news, SpaceX (SPCX.O) rose nearly 12% intraday. The rise was driven by a Morgan Stanley research report, which believes the open market has seriously underestimated the value of the SpaceX AI enterprise platform. Investors are no longer viewing SpaceX only as an aerospace and satellite hardware company, but increasingly as a vertically integrated technology giant with autonomous data, global network infrastructure, and cutting-edge AI models.

Morgan Stanley analyst Adam Jonas said that recent products launched by the SpaceXAI division show a broader software ecosystem, of which GrokBot is early evidence of this platform. The platform combines unique real-time data, vertically integrated computing power, connectivity, and intelligence, and these values are currently not fully priced in the market. The report points out that SpaceX has two structural advantages: one is a real-time data pipeline formed from telemetry data from X and Starlink satellite networks; the other is a “real world” moat combining low-cost computing power with global communication networks. Musk previously said that Grok 4.7 will surpass all current models, and that SpaceX's unique and powerful training data gives it an advantage in real-world engineering capabilities.

[CFTC emergency order requires Kalshi to continue operating, citing the risk of closing Bitcoin positions]

Comparatively, the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) requires that the forecasting market platform Kalshi continue to operate its exchange in accordance with normal business practices and the core principles of the Commodity Exchange Act. The CFTC previously determined that New York State's attempt to prevent the platform from operating constituted a market emergency.

The CFTC said that forcibly closing a Bitcoin price position up to the end of 2026 could trigger traders to simultaneously cancel positions in Bitcoin and other assets, and expose arbitrators holding opposite positions to one-way risk. The order also lists contracts such as federal funds interest rates, transit in the Strait of Hormuz, and economic downturn. A ruling signed by Connecticut District Court Judge Vernon D. Oliver found that Kalshi sports contracts were not swaps; even if they were swaps, federal law would not take precedence over Connecticut gambling regulations.

[The US core inflation performance in July was moderate, and the pressure on the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates eased somewhat]

Comparing news, the US core inflation performance in July was moderate, which probably reduced the pressure on the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates. Data released by the US Bureau of Labor Statistics on Wednesday showed that after excluding food and energy categories with high fluctuations, the core CPI rose 0.2% month-on-month in July. The year-on-year increase was 2.5%, the same as the lowest growth rate since March 2021. Overall, CPI rose 0.1% month-on-month and 3.4% year-on-year in July. The report shows that the impact on energy prices brought about by the Iran war continued to subside in July. As the Federal Reserve discusses whether to raise interest rates at the September meeting, these data may give the Fed more leeway to balance inflationary pressure with the recent slowdown in recruitment. Ahead of the September meeting, policymakers will also see more reports on employment and inflation, while investors will keep an eye on the remarks Federal Reserve Chairman Walsh is expected to deliver at the Jackson Hole annual seminar later this month. US stock index futures rose, and US Treasury yields were basically flat. Investors lowered their bets on the September rate hike.
