It was a second day of sharp declines in tech, today being written off as profit-taking after such a long run of gains. Only about half the number of expected new jobs materialized which was greeted as good news on inflation and a possible stay of execution on the Fed raising rates. Odds of a rate hike decreased from 64 to 55%.

Investors chose to return to caution again today with all three indexes starting the session in the red, the Nasdaq deeply so, but then rising into the black until about noon when they began to decline and all closing modestly in the red. The concerns over the war and AI expenses reared their ugly head again and brought the Nasdaq way down until Meta saved the day momentarily with an 8.8% gain.

Q2 has ended with a bang as the Nasdaq and S&P both came in with the best quarter in six years despite all the geopolitical uncertainties. Though tech once again was the leader, even the Dow scored its 2nd record high in two days. The chip index gained 3.9% though concerns over still too lofty valuations and too big capex has today’s expert recommending investors rotate to value sectors such as energy and financials.

It’s the same old story that’s been going on since the beginning of the war. Hostilities erupt, the market comes down. Hostilities ease and it goes up. That’s what happened today with the concerns about the fragile peace talks being jeopardized by weekend strikes but with the strikes easing today, everything took off like hotcakes, both industrials and tech enjoying very substantial 3-digit gains.

It was a pretty mellow day with all three indexes staying relatively close to flat after the volatility of the past few sessions, though both the Dow and Nasdaq showed moderate 3-digit gains by noon before declining to modest losses by close. Today’s expert summed it up, “It’s too early to conclude that there’s a major correction brewing in tech, but what I would say is that the questions around profitability and the capex story are certainly not going away.”

Micron came in with a boffo report and as I noted yesterday, that doesn’t necessarily equate to another rally as other factors could come into play. That is in fact exactly what happened today. Fears of AI companies overspending took priority over both Micron and Qualcomm turning in good reports. In fact, investors are now looking at it as a zero-sum game. That is, any revenues and profits the winners are making have to be coming out of other companies’ hides. Both the S&P and Nasdaq spent much of the day in the red with the Nasdaq dipping to a 3-digit loss and the S&P closing just barely even.

Continuing concerns over AI companies running too hot caused tech once again to go into a bit of a slump, though the day started quite positive with both the S&P and Nasdaq well into the black, the latter up over 250 at noon before beginning its decline. And again, tech’s losses were industrial’s gains with the Dow up almost 600 by 11:30 before beginning its decline but still closing well in the black. Are these companies overvalued? Are they taking on too much debt to finance their AI plans?
