Nvidia's Huang: sovereign AI and profitable tokens are driving compute demand
Huang described sovereign AI as national and enterprise control over data, compute and service continuity, called current data-center delays near-term growing pains, and argued that improving token economics and profitable frontier-lab usage are pulling more compute purchases. He also said Nvidia would not supply chips to customers whose AI applications clearly cause harm.
Asia chip rout

Asia's chip rout deepens as the market waits on TSMC to stabilize the AI trade
A hotter-than-expected US inflation print deepened a multi-session rout in semiconductor and AI-linked equities, with losses spilling into Asia; Korean and Japanese chip proxies led declines and exchange circuit-breaker measures triggered as foreign selling intensified. Bullish supply-chain datapoints were largely ignored, and attention turns to a major foundry's earnings and capex guidance as the key test of whether the AI trade stabilizes.
TSMC beats and keeps $60–64B capex as Anthropic tells investors it is profitable

Cramer: AI hardware and memory multiples are compressing while enterprise software re-rates
Cramer frames the tape as a volatile reset in which AI-hardware and memory names are seeing P/E multiples compress while beaten-down enterprise software names expand multiples as feared AI disruption fails to materialize; bank results were broadly solid yet nearly every bank stock sold off. His stance is to stay invested, favoring defensive retail and staples plus specific banks and software on weakness.
Warburg Pincus CEO: public markets have become 'one big bet' on AI, pushing allocators to private assets
Perlman argues the IPO market is structurally impaired — fewer than half as many US public companies as a decade ago, with exits now mostly to strategic buyers — while limited partners see public markets as a single correlated AI bet because a handful of mega-caps dominate index weight. He says higher-for-longer rates are constructive since seller price expectations reset, and that his firm's largest internal investment is AI deployment across more than 200 portfolio companies.
