Nvidia’s blockbuster earnings beat expectations across nearly every metric, yet the stock plunged over 5% to close below $185, despite strong guidance. Michael Burry flagged Nvidia’s $95bn in purchase obligations — up from $16bn a year ago — warning that if AI demand slows, excess capacity could pressure margins. Meanwhile, Salesforce, CrowdStrike, and Snowflake all rose, driven by strong AI adoption and robust bookings. Memory chip makers remain the clear winners, pushing hardware costs higher and impacting PC and smartphone margins. Overall, Nvidia’s drop dragged the S&P 500 slightly lower, though most stocks advanced on falling U.S. yields. Gold consolidates...

Nvidia delivered a blockbuster Q4, smashing expectations. Forward guidance for Q1 also topped analyst forecasts, cementing Nvidia’s leadership in AI infrastructure and inference.
Yet despite the stellar results, the market reaction was muted. Shares rose modestly in after-hours trading as investors focused on revenue concentration, leverage concerns and broader AI and tech valuation risks. Even with impressive execution, Nvidia alone isn’t enough to reignite global risk appetite.
From software warnings to HALO rotation trades, the market remains selective, with investors weighing growth vs risk in a cautious environment.

US and European markets rebounded as the AI fear trade eased and investors digested the latest US tariff shake-up. LegalZoom, once hit hard by fears of Anthropic’s Claude, jumped 2.5% after AI integrations promised more customizable, AI-friendly offerings. The iShares Expanded Software ETF also rose nearly 2%, showing opportunities emerging even amid software stress.
In Big Tech, Meta announced a massive $tens-of-billions AMD chip deal to deploy up to six gigawatts of AI computing — enough to power 4–5 million homes. While the deal boosts AMD’s revenue and stock, investors are cautious about rising debt and complex warrants that could...

Markets are wobbling again. Trump’s latest tariff shake-up has rattled both sides of the Atlantic, with European carmakers hit hard as the EU freezes ratification of last summer’s trade deal. At the same time, an extreme AI disruption scenario has shaken delivery and payment stocks — raising fears of mass white-collar job losses, collapsing consumption, and loan defaults.
But the real red flag may lie elsewhere: private credit. Software stocks still look like falling knives, and liquidity stress is emerging in the financing behind them. Blue Owl’s decision to halt redemptions and offload over $1 billion in software-backed loans raises...

The US Supreme Court has shaken up the trade landscape, ruling most Trump-era import tariffs under the IEEPA illegal. Markets reacted immediately: US yields edged higher, the dollar slipped, and gold and silver rallied, bringing trade uncertainties back into focus.
Meanwhile, software stocks are showing the split impact of AI anxiety versus strong earnings. Cybersecurity names stumble, while cloud and other software companies posting better-than-expected results see notable rallies.
This week, all eyes are on tariffs, Trump, US yields, the dollar — and Nvidia plus major software earnings. Volatility will likely dominate, but so will opportunities!

US equities rebounded yesterday after early-session weakness, with dip buyers stepping in near key Markets bounced yesterday as Big Tech and software stocks led the charge, while Bitcoin lagged behind, missing the bullish wave. A mix of US data — weak but less negative than expected — supported the rebound, while more hawkish than expected Fed minutes cast a slight shadow.
But even with hawkish Fed minutes, liquidity injections continue to underpin markets, giving investors breathing room. Attention now turns to upcoming US GDP and core PCE releases, which could set the tone for the next leg of the macro...

US equities rebounded yesterday after early-session weakness, with dip buyers stepping in near key technical levels. Yet beneath the surface, conviction remains thin, signaling that investors are treading carefully. The AI trade continues to unwind selectively: software names are under pressure, while AI enablers are still digesting concerns over debt-funded investment plans. Bond yields suggest these companies remain “safe,” but swimming against the current bearish tide demands courage.
In Europe, rotation flows are still in play. In the UK, sterling’s weakness supports the internationally exposed FTSE 100, highlighting how currency movements can amplify market trends. Overall, sentiment is stabilizing, but...

US and most Asian markets were closed on Monday, leaving Europe to trade quietly. Yields followed US peers lower, while defence and bank stocks outperformed — a reflection of souring relations with the US.
Meanwhile, risk appetite for tech remains fragile this Tuesday morning. The AI investment race is capital-hungry, and leveraged spending is under the spotlight.
Rising activity in credit derivatives shows the market is hedging what was once considered negligible credit risk. CDS linked to giants like Meta, Microsoft and Alphabet are gaining traction — a clear warning that the balance sheet story is now front and centre....
