Good MorningThe tape turned defensive Wednesday as a Middle East flare-up pulled positioning into safety, ending a record run. The session's central tension was clean: a returning geopolitical risk premium running into an AI trade newly scrutinized on CapEx discipline. Breadth narrowed, software bore the brunt, and leadership clung to chips even as NVIDIA pulled back.
The catalyst was Iran's missile strike on Kuwait and Bahrain, which firmed Brent and pulled bids into Treasuries as yields slid. The risk map shifted fast: energy and defense firmed while rate-sensitive software absorbed the rotation. The complication is timing, with Friday's payrolls and a Fed meeting this month framing the cut debate just as oil reintroduces an inflation tail.
Oracle slid hard on renewed questions about AI infrastructure economics, a 30,000-job cut, and CapEx-driven cash burn, dragging IBM and Palantir in the same software downdraft. Marvell extended its rally on AI data-center demand alongside SanDisk and Western Digital, reinforcing that memory and custom silicon still anchor leadership. Broadcom, CrowdStrike, and Veeva reported Wednesday after the bell, giving traders fresh reads on AI monetization, cyber demand, and software durability heading into Thursday's open. Traders are watching the reaction to those prints, Brent's follow-through, and Friday's payrolls. Featured: Small Colorado Company (Backed by Sam Altman) Could Save U.S. Power Grid (Ad)

| From Our Partners | | Marc Chaikin, founder of Chaikin Analytics, says two forces - AI disruption and fracturing global trade - are triggering a historic wealth transfer already underway in 2026. Household names like Intuit (-57%), Boston Scientific (-49%), and Tractor Supply (-40%) are cratering, while lesser-known companies like Sandisk (+573%) and Rackspace (+444%) surge.
Chaikin has identified specific stocks he believes investors should sell before they fall further - and the names may surprise you. He's also pinpointing a company tapped as Nvidia's self-driving partner and a potential AI megadeal that could split into three high-growth stocks.
