HK IPO lock-up release wave — Z.AI (ex-Knowledge Atlas) cornerstone tranche freed
A record 12-month pipeline of locked-up HK IPO shares is unwinding; 2513's six-month cornerstone lock-up has already freed roughly 6% of shares outstanding into a name up >1,200% since listing, so any cornerstone distribution meets thin float and an extreme ATR. confidence: low · source

FOMC rate decision (02:00 HKT 30 Jul) — bank NIM channel
Consensus is a hold at 3.50-3.75%, but market-implied odds of a HIKE have tripled to ~35% under Chair Warsh; a hike lifts the HKMA base rate mechanically via the peg, widening HSBC/StanChart HK deposit spreads while raising credit-cost risk at CCB. ATR band shown on 2888. confidence: med · source
macro 0005H2888H0939H ±3.5% ±1.3 hold through
07-29
FOMC rate decision — HKD peg / HIBOR channel into Link REIT
The HKD peg forces the HKMA to track the Fed, so a hike surprise pushes HIBOR and REIT financing costs up and discount-rate-sensitive distribution yields down — the opposite sign to the bank names on the same print. ATR band on 0823. confidence: med · source

SK Hynix Q2 2026 results
7709 is a 2x leveraged tracker of SK Hynix, so the print's reaction is doubled directly into the position; the Street models a record quarterly operating profit on HBM/DRAM, and the HBM capex and pricing commentary is the sector read-through into Hua Hong and SMIC. confidence: high · source

Standard Chartered H1 2026 results
Interim results plus the buyback/dividend decision land in the same session as the Fed; NII guidance under a possible hiking path and Asia credit-cost trends drive the reaction. confidence: high · source
direct 2888H ±5.0% ±1.8 hold through
07-29
ASMPT Q2 2026 / interim results (date carried from prior run, not reconfirmed)
Q2 revenue was guided to roughly +12% QoQ / +37% YoY off record Q1 bookings; advanced-packaging and TCB tool order intake for AI is the swing factor and ASMPT reacts with high beta to the book-to-bill line. confidence: med · source
direct 0522H ±9.0% ±1.1 hold through
07-30
Samsung Electronics full Q2 2026 results (preliminary already out 7 Jul)
Preliminary Q2 already printed a record operating profit and the stock still fell 7%, so the incremental information is the memory-division breakdown and the HBM/capex plan — the same demand signal that sets the tone for 7709 and the China foundries. confidence: med · source
ecosystem 7709H774713470981 ±7.0% ±0.3 hold through

HKEX monthly futures & options expiry (HSI/HSCEI)

China Politburo H2 economic policy meeting (approximate date)
The late-July Politburo sets the H2 stimulus and platform/AI policy tone; language on consumption support and tech self-reliance is the direct re-rating lever for the China internet, battery and domestic-AI names. ATR band on 0700. confidence: low · source
macro 0700H3750H0939H2513H ±4.0% ±0.9 hold through

China NBS Manufacturing + Non-Manufacturing PMI (July)
The official PMI is the first read on July domestic demand; a sub-50 manufacturing print revives the China-slowdown trade that compresses battery and bank multiples. ATR band on 0700. confidence: med · source

HSBC H1 2026 interim results + second interim dividend decision
The board meets 4 Aug to approve interim results and the second interim dividend; on a low-ATR name (~1.6% daily) the buyback size and NII guidance dominate, so even a modest surprise is a large ATR-relative move. confidence: high · source
direct 0005H ±3.5% ±2.2 hold through

SMIC Q2 2026 results
China's largest foundry prints Q2 utilisation, ASP and mature-node pricing plus Q3 guidance; domestic-substitution capex commentary is the direct driver and it lands in the same session as Hua Hong. confidence: high · source

08-06
Hua Hong Semiconductor Q2 2026 results
Hua Hong prints against its own Q2 revenue and 14-16% gross-margin guidance after a Q1 beat and raise; utilisation and ASP recovery on a ~12%-ATR name make the reaction large, and it shares the session with SMIC so the whole China-foundry complex re-rates together. confidence: high · source
direct 1347H ±10.0% ±0.8 hold through
08-07
US Non-Farm Payrolls (July)
The first labour print after the FOMC re-prices the hiking path and, via the peg, re-prices HIBOR — the same divergent transmission as the Fed decision (banks up on a hot print, REIT down). ATR band on 0823. confidence: med · source
macro 0005H2888H0939H0823H ±2.5% ±1.3 hold through

China July trade data (exports / imports / balance)
Export momentum and the semiconductor/battery import-export split are the demand proxy for CATL's overseas storage business and for China chip inventory. ATR band on 3750. confidence: low · source

China July CPI / PPI (9 Aug falls on a Sunday — released on the Monday)
Continued PPI deflation keeps pressure on China bank margins and battery pricing power, and constrains how much easing the Politburo signal can actually deliver. ATR band on 0939. confidence: low · source
macro 0939H3750H0700H ±1.5% ±0.7 none
08-10
TSMC July monthly revenue (approximate — TSMC reports around the 10th)
TSMC's monthly sales line is the highest-frequency read on AI/HPC wafer demand; June ran +68% YoY, so a July deceleration would be the first visible crack in the AI-capex narrative that supports ASMPT's tools and the foundry complex. ATR band on 0522. confidence: med · source

Outcome & track record

How accurate the calls have been.

-0.283 1-week calibration How much of the eventual 4-week move typically shows up in the first week (0 = almost none, 1 = most of it). Use it to read the 1-week estimates: a low number means prices drift toward the target slowly, so don't over-read a soft week-1.

Signal-type track record How each signal *type* has performed across ALL of this book's past decisions — not a per-stock note. 'bias' is the conviction nudge (+/-) applied to a fresh signal of that type; n = sample size, hit_1w = share that hit the 1-week target. Reliable cells earn a boost; weak ones a haircut.

How each signal type has performed across this book's past decisions (aggregate, not per-stock) — and the conviction nudge it earns.
