Good MorningU.S. markets saw active trading in tech and materials names as investors chased winners tied to AI, memory shortages and commodity moves. SanDisk has been a standout, rising nearly 100% year-to-date and helping lead momentum in semiconductors and memory-related stocks, while NVIDIA remained among the most actively traded names. Precious metals and other commodities moved sharply—futures showed gold topping the $5,000 mark—lifting miners and inflation-sensitive plays.
Policy moves drove sector rotation, with the U.S. taking a minority stake in an Oklahoma rare-earth miner and broader Washington support boosting volatility and interest in domestic critical-minerals stocks. That push, plus government deregulation and defense agency support, underpins renewed investor focus on rare earths. Separately, the Treasury cut contracts with Booz Allen, a development that could reverberate through defense consulting and contractor stocks.
Macro and regulatory risks remain front and center. Widespread winter storms are shaving billions from near-term economic activity, and the EU opened a probe into X’s Grok—a reminder that weather and policy, not just earnings, are driving market direction.
