  AI Rally Extends

  The most likely path is that the rebound continues for another session or two as investors treat the latest $1.3 trillion gain as a reset in AI positioning rather than a one-day squeeze. Megacap balance sheets, Nvidia demand signals, and reassurance around hyperscaler spending keep buyers engaged despite the recent rout.

  Capex Worries Return

  The recent rebound proves fragile if investors refocus on the earlier concern that AI spending growth is peaking. Data-center financing, cloud margins, and chip order durability become the dominant questions again, pulling the Nasdaq lower.

  The AI narrative remains important, but the next two trading days are driven more by Treasury yields and discount-rate sensitivity than by fresh company news. A rates move can either cap the rebound or broaden it beyond the AI trade.
