- Strong Forward Guidance: Micron Technology alleviated concerns around AI-related valuation pressures with robust forward guidance, leading to a record high stock price, indicating that AI memory demand is a long-term growth driver.
- Institutional Buying Resurgence: The rally in Micron's stock attracted consistent institutional buying, suggesting a rebuilding of positions by long-term capital rather than short-term trading activity, reflecting renewed confidence in AI infrastructure assets.
- Policy Boost: Nvidia benefited from reports of potential U.S. export restriction reviews, reigniting confidence in its long-term role in global AI infrastructure, further propelling the rise of technology stocks.
- Divergence in Capital Flows: While technology stocks surged, consumer-facing companies like Nike dropped sharply due to weaker demand from China, highlighting a selective risk preference focused on AI and technology sectors rather than a broad market shift.
