The renewed optimism over AI spilled over into a second day with all three indexes shooting straight up again with very impressive 3-digit gains again, this time more than enough to overcome Monday’s tech losses and almost enough to overcome Monday’s Dow losses. Recent AI good news has put the angst over return-on-investment on the back burner momentarily though major concerns still surround the potential for AI disruption in ancillary industries.
As today’s expert put it, “Investors are trying to grapple with what could be an existential risk. That’s a bigger deal than not receiving as much payout as you’d like.” Even so, software developers, which have lost 23% so far this year, rebounded today by 2.9% making them the day’s outperformer. As has been the pattern as investors remain in wait-and-see mode, volume came in at 17.5 billion, well below the 20.27 average.
