Summary

Markets declined with tech under pressure as TSMC's raised capex outlook reignited worries about AI overspend and returns. Regional bank earnings impressed, led by M&T Bank, while GE Aerospace raised guidance on strong aviation demand. Geopolitical tensions escalated with U.S. strikes on Iran, lifting oil supply fears. Retail sales came in modest, and strategists highlighted healthcare as a safe haven amid AI uncertainty and potential Fed tightening.

  • TSMC boosts 2026 capex to $60-64B, sparking selling in chip stocks and hyperscalers as markets recalculate higher spending environment.
  • Regional banks report solid quarters; M&T Bank stands out on commercial real estate strength.
  • GE Aerospace raises full-year outlook for the seventh time since early 2024 on robust demand for engines and spare parts.
  • United Airlines lifts annual outlook but Q3 guidance disappoints due to fuel costs; shares fall.
  • Iran oil terminal strikes and Strait of Hormuz disruptions push Brent above $85, raising supply risk.
  • Kristina Hooper of Man Group warns AI capex could slow and advises selective healthcare exposure for yield.
  • Nationwide economist sees resilient consumer but flags higher energy prices as a headwind.
  • Eli Lilly bets on psychedelics with $3.8B deal; TGI Fridays plans global comeback.
