Platinum markets hold the most extreme asymmetry in algo flows expected over the coming week, TDS’ macro analyst Daniel Ghali notes.

Window for large-scale selling activity might be opening

“The window for large-scale selling activity could be opening, with a big downtape potentially catalyzing a massive -50% swing in algo positioning, whereas a commensurate uptape would only spark marginal buying activity.”

“Even in a flat tape, we expect substantial CTA selling activity over the coming week, with algos set to sell up to -20% of their max size over this timeframe. This set-up strongly favors continued downside over the coming week.”

Micron vs. SanDisk: As Storage Sector Drops Broadly, Which Is the Better Long-Term Investment?

TradingKey - The U.S. memory sector has continued to pull back recently, with Micron Technology (MU), SanDisk (SNDK), Seagate (STX), and Western Digital (WDC) all recording notable declines. As of October 14 Eastern Time, Micron dropped 4.1%, marking its fifth consecutive trading session of losses, while the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index fell for the sixth straight trading day. The recent pressure stems partly from profit-taking following prior strong gains, and partly from progress made by Chinese memory manufacturer ChangXin Memory Technologies (CXMT) in novel memory cell architectures, which has sparked market concerns over future capacity growth and intensified competition.

Memory Stocks Slide Again as Micron Drops Over 3%, But Goldman Says Market Overestimates CXMT Tech Impact

On October 16, memory stocks suffered another setback on Friday: SK Hynix (SKHY) fell over 5%, while SanDisk (SNDK) and Micron (MU) both dropped more than 4%, bringing their weekly pullbacks to 18%, 15%, and 13%, respectively. Market concerns grew that progress on the 4F2 architecture announced by ChangXin Memory Technologies (CXMT) could ease the memory chip shortage, thereby dragging down prices and manufacturer profits. Behind this pullback lie two questions spanning different time horizons: whether immediate supply remains tight, and how much impact CXMT's future capacity expansion will bring.
