Summary of June 2026

CPI result released

The latest U.S. Consumer Price Index (CPI) report shows that in May 2026, prices rose 0.5% month‑on‑month (seasonally adjusted) and 4.2% year‑on‑year in May (not seasonally adjusted). The biggest drivers were energy (+23.5% YoY, gasoline +40.5%) and shelter (+3.4% YoY), while food prices rose more moderately at 3.1% YoY.

Energy is the main inflation driver, because of closing strait of Hormuz has started showing up in the inflation data.

Core goods actually fell -0.5% month over month. Consumers are still willing to spend their on goods.

SpaceX IPO debut

IPO price was $135 and trading to public $150. I think there are many hot money flowing into SpaceX at this moment. To me, the price of this stock simply overprice but if we look at the broader picture we can see their vision is to operate data centre in the space however to achieve this first step SpaceX need Nvidia products and services in order to accomplish data centre in space. Nvidia has been broadening moat by entering space and PC market with Mircosoft ( strong moat in software enterprise and second largest cloud computing  market cap).

Overall Nvidia is still undervalue when including this new revenue streams.

Market selloff

Mag 7 receiving strong outflow even though they are reporting stronger earning probably of CPI, strong capex and Iran conflict if we excluding Mag 7 actually 493 companies still holding strong while I think S&P 493 are closing the gap in the AI narrative.

Shares Builder Plan

I closed Capland Ascendas which I don’t see any benefits of holding reits in long term view because its sensitive to interest rate hike, right issue and low cash flow to support acquisition project. I feel REIT is leverage operation environment due to policy that they must do 90% payout for shareholder and the worse is they cannot share buyback to defend share price. Over time is dragging my wealth growth even though they rewarding good dividend payout. Reit is not a retirement tool but find a strong company that pay meaningful dividend is important.

 I am deploying the money into OCBC  for 4 tranches; I believe local banks and government are selling trust and certainty to Family Office in the midst of geopolitics conflict. Family Office is willing to pay low tax because of trust and stability for the safety of their money at night such as rupiah crisis. OCBC is just focus on Indonesia banking business in the right time. I see indo families holding since young. I know OCBC has a lot of growth areas and PB is slightly premium which is fine if they progressing well.

Mid-year 2025 report

We are in the middle of 2025, there are Trump tariffs and wars in the rest of the world created uncertainties may affect our investment returns or performance.  My investment portfolio overall still growing despite having heavy weightage of Palantir, which I am still confident to hold. In order for US government to create efficiency on defense sector, Palantir is the only trusted software to organise LLM. The more chaos in geopolitics, the more stronger Palantir will be. There’s some upside awaiting for them to commit in private segment. The valuation is inflating and speculative right now.  I been buying S&P Global at the range of  $478- $500, refinance and M&A will be the potential drivers to move the credit rating when US rate cut. I will keep buying S&P Global whenever I see there's opportunity arise it'll going to be my core equity in the future, as I consider this company carries strong fundamentals, cash generator and strong cash flow despite economic t...

Build a Generation Wealth portfolio from scratch.

Recently, I and my gf discussed about weathering the storm of our future and we concluded that there’s a need to build a portfolio. We are considered a young couple waiting to collect key and we need some funds such as renovation, expenses and protect our downside.  I projecting this fund (building the foundation) as mid-long term 3-5 years. After we should able to proceed growth index or stock pick in small allocation. I believe using S&P 500 as a benchmark is reasonable because the holding majority derives from US and tech stocks. During the drip cycle we need to buy even more than usual DCA to beat S&P 500. I suggested investing small amount of world index as a foundation since she has mild knowledge about investing. World index ETF is the safer to invest passively in the long term which adjust the market cap over time by geographic basis. We aware the world index is not a growth massively than S&P 500 or Nasdaq but it provides us a good sleep during uncertainly. O...
