Sector News
Big tech and AI infrastructure remained the main themes this week. Microsoft was reported to be planning 38 gigawatts of data-centre capacity by 2032, while Google committed to further AI infrastructure in Finland and secured a nuclear power deal. Nvidia’s CEO defended the company’s AI investments against ‘circular financing’ talk, and reports said Nvidia was in discussions to invest in Anthropic’s large IPO. Tesla unveiled its European Semi truck, signed a 3 GWh Megapack storage agreement in Italy, and Apple opened pre-orders for the iPhone 18 Pro line. In semiconductors, Micron offered Taiwan staff bonuses of up to 68 months’ pay, though strike risk remained; GPU/CPU names gained in several sessions, with Dell and Marvell among the leaders. Still, rising Treasury yields and inflation concerns kept the week cautious, leaving tech performance mixed.
The Week Ahead
The macro calendar turns busier next week. The New York Fed manufacturing index arrives on Tuesday, with a prior reading of 20.6 and a consensus estimate of 14.75. Wednesday brings retail sales, retail sales ex-autos, import prices, the NAHB housing market index and EIA crude inventory data. Retail sales are expected to rise 0.9% after falling 0.6% previously, while retail sales ex-autos are seen at 0.6% versus a prior -0.3%. The NAHB index is forecast at 34, down from 35. These prints will test the resilience of consumer spending and housing against the rate backdrop.
In Short
OEF.US held above $380 in the latest week, close to the 20-day moving average of $379.61 and the 60-day line of $372.81; the 60-day range high sits at $385.05. The fund has no P/E or P/B reading in the data set, while its dividend yield is about 0.85% and total market value around $20.35 billion. The latest session’s flow snapshot showed a net sell bias in large-lot and medium-lot money, with small-lot money tilting net buy. Next week’s retail and housing data will test demand strength, while rates and big tech capital-expenditure messages remain the key swing factors.
