SK Hynix's $28 billion US listing is out there, but signal on AI hyperscalers from Morgan Stanley suggests those gains are cooling. JPMorgan warns of a summer swoon, saying AI won't save everything. We're seeing some pressure on the big AI names. Thyssenkrupp ADR jumped on a sub-contract, showing defense is still a thing, but defense isn't the main driver today. Reddit's spam detection progress is noise.
HSBC sees upside in [Intel](/stocks/intel) on server CPUs, but that's a niche play. Morgan Stanley prefers European media names for cash flow and AI upside, which seems counter to the broader fear. Focus on the weakness; short rallies.
Sellers are in charge today, pushing on bids across the board. Our short bias is playing out, while longs are tight. Crypto also leans bearish. Keep an eye on the ISM Services PMI for any shockwaves, but expect sellers to dictate terms. [explore Radiant algorithms](/algorithms)
