S&P 500 Gains 1.1% for the Week as Nasdaq 100 Rises 3.3%
AI take
The dispersion here is the story: semis and memory outpacing the headline indices by a wide margin suggests the week's gains were concentrated in the AI hardware supply chain rather than broad risk appetite, which the Dow's marginal move and energy's Friday decline reinforce. The split within mega-cap tech — chip names up sharply while Meta and Palo Alto Networks sold off — points to rotation inside the sector, not a uniform bid. Whether semiconductor leadership continues to carry the indices, or narrows into a single theme, is the open question.
