Headline: Asia Market Watch: RBNZ Inflation Expectations in Focus as SFIX, LINK, WYNN, RDDT and ASPI Rally
A packed Asia session awaits on Tuesday, November 11, with the Reserve Bank of New Zealand’s inflation expectations scheduled for release—an update that often sways the New Zealand dollar, local bond yields, and broader risk sentiment. Traders are positioning for potential volatility as markets weigh policy trajectories heading into year-end.
Across equities and digital assets, risk-on pockets are emerging. Stitch Fix (SFIX) climbed about 4% as investors speculated on restructuring outcomes and a potential lift from consumer spending trends, though the stock remains 34.9% below its 52-week high. Chainlink (LINK) advanced 5.2% to around $16.66 on heavy volume, but profit-taking capped momentum near the $16.50–$16.70 zone. Sportsman’s Warehouse (SPWH) gained 5.4% on fresh “Strong Buy” calls; even so, it is still down 16.5% year to date and 48% off its 52-week peak, underscoring elevated volatility.
Travel and tech also drew attention. Wynn Resorts (WYNN) rose 3.1% on developments tied to a UAE resort project, extending its strong year-to-date performance of 55.3%, though price swings remain a factor. Reddit (RDDT) jumped 6.1% as new advertising products and reported 68% revenue growth fueled optimism—tempered by concerns about valuation and near-term volatility. In the small-cap arena, ASP Isotopes (ASPI) has surged 94% year to date amid enthusiasm for nuclear-related themes, but its roughly 172x sales multiple keeps risk firmly on the radar, even as some analysts still forecast additional upside.
