Opening Recap
Market Pulse: Tech rips higher as AI chatter dominated yesterday’s session, overshadowing drags in retail and energy stocks.
Key Movers: Nvidia’s eye-popping $150B investment plan in Taiwan grabbed headlines, while SpaceX’s latest Starship test reignited talk of a summer IPO.
Macro & Politics: Traders are parsing today’s Fed minutes for clues on rate policy, and rising bond yields remain the wildcard that could spark a swift rotation.
What’s Next: Watch for Fed minutes at 2 p.m. ET and track next week’s AI chip earnings reports for any management hints on capex plans.
Market Commentary
Here’s what everyone’s missing: the real kingmaker could be social stability in Taiwan, not just Nvidia’s $150B AI build-out (Crypto Briefing). Sure, Taiwan fab capacity is expanding, but as Al Jazeera English reports, smaller firms and rural regions risk getting steamrolled, creating political backlash that could freeze production with a single policy misstep. And while traders tout Fed minutes, don’t ignore bond yield swings—one surprise move could wreck high-PE stocks faster than you think.
Consider how SpaceX’s Starship test strengthens its IPO narrative (Crypto Briefing) and how Qualcomm’s rumored AI ASIC tie-up with ByteDance (Digitimes) signals China’s chip ambitions. On the surface, rocketry and semiconductors are worlds apart, but both rides hinge on access to capital and government tolerance. If Beijing greenlights a homegrown AI chip to skirt U.S. export bans, and investors back orbital ventures, you’ve got a thesis that spans earth to sky.
Action time: don’t be another damn bystander swooning over mainstream names. Map your exposure to chipmakers ramping capex and monitor space ventures ahead of any roadshow debuts. Keep an eye on critical mineral policy chatter in Brussels and D.C.—shortages in lithium, cobalt, and rare earths are a ticking time bomb for supply chains. Position accordingly before the herd figures out the next big play.
