The AI market is growing, but the Fed remains a risk
The technology sector continues to rely on massive investments in AI. NVIDIA, Amazon, Microsoft, and other major companies are spending enormous amounts on chips and data centers.
An interesting development: Amazon is considering a structure of roughly $8 billion to finance Nvidia Grace Blackwell through a separate company, after which it plans to lease those chips back. This shows just how expensive the AI infrastructure boom is becoming. (Financial Times)
But there’s another side to it: more than two-thirds of Russell 1000 companies are already tied to AI. As a result, investor concentration in tech is becoming increasingly higher. (Financial Times)
📌 The Fed is crucial here. Weak employment data lowered expectations for a rate hike in October, which supports tech stocks. But on October 7, the Fed’s meeting minutes will be released — they could shift market expectations. (wsj.com)
For NVIDIA and for all of Nasdaq, the key question right now is whether AI growth can justify the massive investments if interest rates and bond yields remain high?
