Opening Recap
Market Pulse: Tech drifts as big caps barely move after a sluggish session, while cryptos steal the spotlight.
Key Movers: Dogecoin ripped about 15% higher and Bitcoin stayed steady above $85 000. IT names trimmed earlier gains, leaving traders uneasy on the sidelines.
Macro & Politics: The Reserve Bank governor delivered hawkish inflation warnings, yet bond markets shrugged off the tone. Traders are parsing every syllable of central-bank speak amid cautious global growth.
What’s Next: Eyes will be on corporate earnings this week and any signs of supply-chain pinch in AI chip production.
Unfiltered Market Commentary
Everyone’s pointing at Alibaba’s chip blitz (“China's Alibaba unveils new powerful chip and ambitious AI model plans” – Abcnews.com), but few are talking about the strain on interconnect tooling as advanced nodes choke (“Hanmi Semiconductor ships first FC Bonder 75” – Digitimes) and Morphotonics raising €40 million for photonics (“Morphotonics raises €40M to expand…” – Crypto Briefing). If you think the AI wars hinge solely on fab scale, you’re missing half the battle—and that could cost you.
Tie together India’s march beyond mere fabs (“India’s semiconductor opportunity expanding beyond fabs” – The Times of India) with Armenia’s rise as a U.S. AI hub (“Armenia emerges as a top hub for US AI infrastructure” – Crypto Briefing), and you’ve got a big-picture thesis: the next wave of AI infrastructure will be shaped by frontier engineering talent, not just coastal megacaps. Governments offering incentives may look like heroes until subsidies dry up.
Action-oriented takeaway: shift a slice of your tech exposure toward these fringe ecosystems, set tight stops on frothy names, and keep an eye on supply-chain cracks. Real gains will come from spotting the overlooked plays—don’t let the crowd trample you.
