[Bank of America: Key Indicator Extremely Bullish, Suggests Selling Stocks] A team of strategists at Bank of America, led by Michael Hartnett, said that asset allocators have become extremely bullish, a warning sign that investors should “reduce equity exposure, withdraw, or rotate sectors” rather than continue adding to risk assets. Hartnett wrote in a report on Friday that Bank of America’s internal sentiment indicator, the “Bull & Bear Indicator,” is flashing a contrarian “sell signal.” This is primarily attributed to “a sharp drop in institutional cash levels, strong equity inflows,” and increased breadth of global stock indices. The indicator has climbed to 9.6, pushing further into extremely bullish territory. About two months ago, the indicator read 8.0, which typically indicates an overheated market due to crowded bullish positions. Bank of America stated that a reading below the 2.0 threshold would be a buy signal.

According to the Commitment of Traders (COT) report released by the Intercontinental Exchange (ICE), as of July 14, speculative funds reduced their net long positions in Robusta coffee by 1,124 contracts, bringing the net long position to 43,071 contracts. Speculators in cocoa futures reduced their net short positions by 3,298 contracts, bringing the net short position down to 956 contracts. Generally, changes in speculative positions reflect adjustments in short-term market expectations regarding the future price movements of related commodities. The continued decline in Robusta coffee's net long positions indicates, to some extent, a cooling of speculative funds' confidence in its short-term upward trend. Meanwhile, the near completion of net short positions in cocoa suggests that pessimistic expectations for further declines in cocoa prices are rapidly narrowing.

01:40:14

A team of Bank of America strategists, led by Michael Hartnett, pointed out that bullish sentiment among participants in asset allocation is currently at an extreme level. This is often a warning signal from the market, suggesting that investors should "reduce equity positions, take profits, or adjust portfolio structure for sector rotation" rather than continue to increase their allocation to risky assets. In a research report released last Friday, Hartnett mentioned that Bank of America's internal "Bull & Bear Indicator," used to measure market sentiment, has triggered a reverse "sell signal." The core reasons for this signal include "a significant decline in institutional cash holdings, strong inflows into the stock market," and the continued broadening of global stock index gains. The indicator has now risen to 9.6, further entering extremely bullish territory. About two months ago, the indicator reading was 8.0, a value that typically indicates the market is overheated due to concentrated bullish positions. According to Bank of America's standards, a buy signal only occurs when the indicator falls below the 2.0 threshold.

According to Iran's Tasnim News Agency, a vessel flying the Thai flag attempted to pass through the Strait of Hormuz without permission from the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, despite warnings, and was subsequently intercepted and attacked. It should be noted that the Strait of Hormuz is one of the world's most important oil transportation routes, and its navigational safety is crucial to the stability of global energy trade. While littoral states ensure the orderly passage of ships in accordance with laws and regulations, civilian vessels should also abide by relevant navigation management regulations to jointly maintain the safety and order of navigation in the strait.

01:36:12

According to Iran's Tasnim News Agency, citing sources familiar with the matter, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps struck a vessel in the Strait of Hormuz. As a vital international oil shipping route, the Strait of Hormuz handles nearly one-third of the world's seaborne crude oil exports, and any developments in this region easily attract widespread attention in the international energy market and geopolitical landscape. Currently, details regarding the nationality of the attacked vessel, its cargo, and the specific damage caused are not yet publicly available; further official updates are pending.

US energy giant ConocoPhillips has announced its entry into BP's multi-billion-barrel-equivalent oil field project in Iraq. ConocoPhillips has agreed to acquire BP's 42% stake in the supergiant Kirkuk oil field complex in Iraq. This news is a crucial positive signal for Iraq, whose oil production has recently declined sharply due to the conflict with Iran. According to an official statement released by ConocoPhillips on July 17, this transaction is one of several cooperation agreements signed by both sides during Iraqi Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi's visit to the United States. The block covered by the transaction has proven reserves exceeding 3 billion barrels of oil equivalent and also has considerable potential for further exploration. While the specific financial details of the transaction have not yet been released, analysts at Barclays estimate the acquisition price to be around $400 million.

The Qatari Ministry of Foreign Affairs condemns in the strongest terms Iran's renewed aggression against its territory, as well as the territories of friendly Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait. Qatar considers such actions a blatant violation of the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the victimized states, a serious breach of international law, the UN Charter, and the principle of good neighborliness. The continued implementation of such aggression constitutes a dangerous escalation that will exacerbate the difficulty of easing regional tensions and undermine political and diplomatic efforts aimed at achieving regional security and stability. Iran must bear full legal responsibility for the aforementioned aggression and all its consequences. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs emphasizes that, in accordance with relevant provisions of international law and Article 51 of the UN Charter, Qatar reserves all rights to take countermeasures and may take all necessary measures to defend its sovereignty, security, territorial integrity, and the safety of its citizens. Qatar also reiterates its full solidarity with friendly nations and its support for all countries taking all legitimate measures to safeguard their sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity.

lithography machine giant ASML Holdings plans to give its global employees a one-time incentive worth €20,000 (approximately US$22,862). The current boom in demand in the field of artificial intelligence has driven the company's sales to record highs, making ASML another chip company sharing the benefits of development with its employees. As Europe's highest-valued technology company, ASML stated in an official email announcement on Friday that the reward will be distributed in the form of stock to eligible global employees on January 1, 2027, requiring employees to remain employed throughout the vesting period. The final reward will be fully vested by early 2030.
