# Former JP Morgan Chief Strategist: If a giant announces "a pause in capital expenditures"

Marko Kolanovic has been a "big short" in this round of the U.S. stock market, and he posted on x:

I believe a giant will soon announce a pause in artificial intelligence capital expenditures. At that time, U.S. memory stocks will drop by 50% (30% in Korea), just like silver did a few weeks ago.

Previously, the tech giants in the U.S. known as the Magnificent Seven significantly raised their capital expenditure expectations for this year in their earnings reports, which led to the market "voting with their feet." Among them, Amazon, which had the highest capital expenditure target, faced a rare "nine consecutive declines," with its stock price entering a bear market.
