Strong tech earnings aren’t enough to keep investors on board. AI stocks tumble as concerns about spending, debt and energy constraints overshadow impressive growth. In today’s Swissquote Daily Market Talk, we discuss the technology selloff, demand for US Treasuries, gold’s disappointing reaction and widening French sovereign spreads. We also look at P&G’s defensive appeal and why energy could become the next major AI investment theme. With Microsoft, Alphabet, Amazon and Sandisk reporting next week, can earnings restore confidence, or will investors keep jumping ship?

Renewed hopes of a US–Iran breakthrough briefly eased energy concerns before fading, leaving investors facing higher oil prices, persistent inflation risks and mounting European debt stress.
Meanwhile, SpaceX’s strong quarterly results revived enthusiasm for AI, with booming computing revenue highlighting its growing ambitions beyond space. But shooting for the moon comes at a cost: enormous infrastructure investment, rising financing needs and growing credit concerns across smaller competitors.
Meta’s results offer the next test for the broader AI trade. Can advertising growth and new products justify soaring spending? Bigger budgets could support chipmakers while pressuring cash flow. Softer plans could reassure...

European debt concerns, rising energy prices and fragile AI confidence test investors’ nerves. French unrest adds to fiscal and political uncertainty, while attractive Japanese bond yields raise questions about capital returning home and the consequences for global borrowing costs. US technology stocks have bounced, but weak Asian trading, Elice’s disappointing debut and resistance to Nscale’s valuation ambitions suggest investors are becoming more selective. Anthropic’s strong revenue growth offers encouragement, yet the AI spending boom still needs fresh money from paying customers to sustain it. Meanwhile, escalating Middle East tensions keep oil elevated, with Russian diesel supplies offering only limited potential...

Market sentiment remains fragile as hotter US inflation, mixed bank earnings and growing concerns over AI financing test investors’ appetite. CoreWeave’s sharp stock and bond selloff has exposed an uncomfortable question: how long can the AI infrastructure boom rely on external financing before investors demand stronger returns?
Money has moved towards US Treasuries and less technology-heavy stocks, but a slowdown in AI investment could reach far beyond chipmakers and cloud providers, affecting earnings, hiring and economic growth.

Oil rises. Yields climb. And everyone wants another loan. Governments need buyers for their debt. AI giants need billions for chips. But how much can investors digest before asking for a better price?
Technology stocks are still holding up, while the rest of the market looks increasingly uncomfortable. Strong Treasury demand offers only temporary relief, hawkish Fed minutes support the dollar, and France’s debt troubles put Europe’s fragile finances back under scrutiny. Even Germany’s reputation for safety faces questions as borrowing rises and industrial competitiveness weakens.
Meanwhile, the AI financing feast continues. Can future revenues grow fast enough to cover...
