Morning market recap: Brent crude breaks through $100, the Nasdaq falls 2.2%. AI spending and energy-driven inflation are both weighing on the market—sure enough, it’s a tale of ice and fire.
$GOOGL Alphabet’s cloud business grows 82%, but the stock still drops 7.1% because the company raised its full-year capital expenditure guidance to $195–205 billion; $TSLA revenue beats expectations, yet shares plunge 14.5% as profit margins decline and free cash flow turns negative. The market is starting to reassess a key question: how long will AI revenue growth take to offset spending on compute power and data centers?
Macro is even more troublesome. Conflict in the Middle East threatens shipping through the Red Sea, and Brent touched $102 intraday. The yield on the US 10-year Treasury rises to 4.68%. Higher oil prices lift inflation, pushing rates higher again—high-valuation tech stocks and crypto assets may both face renewed pressure.
South Korean stocks rebounded 4.4% on the prior trading day, but $SAMSUNG Samsung Electronics and $SK Hynix are highly dependent on expectations for AI capital expenditures. Today, the focus is on how US-listed stocks perform after earnings.
As of this morning, $BTC is around $64,700, down about 2.1% over the past 24 hours; $ETH falls to around $1,880, down about 3%. Buying support from the recent streak of ETF inflows is still there, but it can’t hold up against the triple pressure from oil prices, US Treasuries, and tech stocks for now.
