AI hype hits a wall, and Wall Street feels it
Broadcom posted solid numbers and still managed to crater 12.6% in a single session because it had the audacity to leave its AI revenue forecast exactly where it was. That’s $280 billion in market value vaporized because investors didn’t get the dopamine hit they ordered.
The wreckage spread fast. Micron dropped 7.7%, Nvidia, AMD, and Intel all bled between 1.5% and 3.8%. The whole AI trade is built on vibes and exponential expectations, and one honest guidance call cracked the whole thing.
Nasdaq futures dropped 0.82%. The multi-week winning streak is now sweating. Turns out “AI will save everything forever” was doing a lot of heavy lifting.
Jobs report Friday: brace for the Fed’s next excuse
Economists are forecasting somewhere between 80,000 and 105,000 jobs added in May, down from 115,000 in April. That’s not a labor market, that’s a slow leak.
The Fed is watching this number like a hawk that can’t decide whether to eat or sleep. Too strong and inflation fears spike again. Too weak and recession panic takes the wheel. There is no good number right now.
Unemployment is expected to hold at 4.3%. The S&P is already on track for its first weekly loss since April. The jobs report will either confirm the anxiety or pour gasoline on it.
Oil and gold slip as Iran deal optimism spreads
Gold is sitting around $4,489 an ounce and crude is sliding as signals out of U.S.-Iran talks actually sound like they might be going somewhere. Diplomatic progress is the one thing commodity traders did not have in their models.
The Strait of Hormuz potentially reopening is the real story here. That’s one of the most critical chokepoints in global energy supply, and the market has had a risk premium baked in for months.
Meanwhile the dollar is softening, the yen is hovering near 160, and European shares are lower. The whole global picture is holding its breath waiting for this weekend’s developments.
