Why the AI Trade Finally Hit a Speed Bump

The AI trade has been carrying markets for months, but Broadcom’s disappointing outlook is giving investors a reason to question whether semiconductor stocks have moved too far, too fast. Chuck Zodda and Mike Armstrong break down why Broadcom’s earnings report triggered a pullback across chip stocks, why the semiconductor rally may need to cool after doubling in just two months, and how companies are beginning to look more carefully at the real cost of using AI tools. They also discuss whether the jobs market is stabilizing, why tech layoffs may not tell the full labor market story, how SpaceX’s coming IPO could force index investors into a risky new holding, and why the Strait of Hormuz crisis may permanently change the global oil map.
