According to official announcements, OKX has officially launched OKX.AI, a decentralized platform for the agent economy that enables AI Agents to post tasks, accept assignments, process payments, submit reviews, and conduct arbitration. OKX Founder and CEO Star stated in a post on X: "Over the past two decades, the world has been rebuilt around apps; over the next ten years, it will be rebuilt around agents. Agents will serve humans, be hired by humans, receive payments from humans, and collaborate with humans to complete complex tasks, while humans will channel more energy into imagination, judgment, purpose, and truly unique value." Star emphasized that this is not an era of more efficient software, but a new economic era. He added: "The future will no longer belong only to companies with the most employees, but also to individuals with the best agents. One person can be a world-class company. Welcome to the Agentic Economy, welcome to OKX.AI."

Lori Calvasina, chief U.S. equities strategist at Royal Bank of Canada Capital Markets (RBC Capital Markets), lifted her 12-month target for the S&P 500 by 250 points to 8,150 on Monday. Compared with last Friday’s closing level, the revised target implies a 10.8% upside potential. The bank believes the U.S. stock market still has room to rise, but warns the rally will not be smooth sailing. In a research note sent to clients on Monday, Calvasina wrote: “We still view this forecast as optimistic but not unrealistic. Our core view is that the stock market will rise overall over the next year, though the trend will not be a straight-line rally.” The target hike is partly driven by positive signals from earnings per share (EPS) and valuation expectations. The strategist forecasts adjusted trailing four-quarter EPS will reach $337 in the first quarter of next year. Meanwhile, her model still retains conservative assumptions, and she warns market volatility is unavoidable during the rally, with the biggest risk being the Federal Reserve resuming interest rate hikes. Data from CME Group’s FedWatch Tool shows the market is pricing in a 64% probability of a rate hike at the Fed’s September policy meeting.

High-tech industry research firm TrendForce has raised its sequential growth forecast for PC DRAM contract prices in Q3 2026 from 8–13% to 15–20%, and for Q4 from 0–5% to 3–8%. Additionally, server DRAM contract prices are projected to rise 13–18% sequentially in Q3, driven primarily by strong server demand and overall supply tightness. Analysts note that this upward price forecast is positive for DRAM manufacturers such as Micron, reflecting that the persistent supply-demand imbalance in the memory market continues to impact the sector’s revenue.
