Broadcom held up after stronger results, with management pointing to a big step-up in AI-chip revenue, reinforcing that AI spend can still win even when macro risks flare. Traders will be watching for the U.S. jobs report and any headlines around the Strait of Hormuz. Featured: Wall Street’s quietly buying these 3 AI infrastructure plays (Ad)
