The Week

OAIW.US rose 5.06% this week to close at $24.20, beating the S&P 500 by about 4.97 percentage points. The week shaped up as a recovery: it opened at $25.34 on Monday, slid to a low of $22.36 on Wednesday, then climbed over the final two sessions to end at $24.20, near the high of the week. The weekly range was 11.76%, with average daily volume of 8,741 shares nearly double the median.

Sector News

AI-related news dominated the week. Nvidia agreed to buy Hugging Face for $12.93 billion, extending its AI platform beyond chips; OpenAI launched GPT-6 Astra and said it may mark the beginning of the AGI era; and AI cloud firm Nscale sought $3.5 billion in pre-IPO financing, with reports suggesting Nvidia could invest about $2 billion. Semiconductor and data-centre names firmed as Oracle rose ahead of earnings and Micron said it would double monthly HBM capacity.

The Week Ahead

Macro data takes the spotlight next week, with initial jobless claims and PPI due around 10 September. After Fed governor Waller eased rate-hike concerns this week, markets are sensitive to the rate path. The 10-year Treasury auction will also land, and yields may continue to influence AI valuations. There are no individual earnings for the fund, but updates from Oracle and other AI supply-chain names are worth tracking.

In Short

OAIW.US rebounded from mid-week lows as the broader AI complex firmed, outperforming the market by nearly 5 percentage points on elevated volume. A busy run of M&A and product launches underpinned the uptrend, while rate data and a mixed performance from mega-cap tech created external tension. The focus now turns to whether macro prints and AI-related capex or earnings can sustain the momentum.
