Meta jumped 9% by getting into a brand-new business. But that same move dragged a whole group of AI stocks DOWN hard. 🤔

Welcome to day one of the second half - where good news is still complicated.

⏱️ Chapters:

0:00 Meta up 9%, AI stocks down
0:25 The market under the red headline
0:45 Meta's new cloud business
1:15 Why it spooked AI suppliers
1:40 The bubble fear evolves again
2:05 Inflation is really cooling
2:35 Jobs report next

Here's your July 1 wrap 👇

📉 Index fell - but most S&P 500 stocks actually ROSE. Chips dragged the headline down again.
🚀 META +9% on a report it's building a cloud business - selling its AI compute & model access to other companies

The twist 👇
If Meta has spare compute to SELL, maybe it overbuilt its own capacity. And if the giants overbuilt, that's a warning for the companies that sell them chips & cloud. So: Micron & SanDisk -10%, CoreWeave -13%, Nebius -17%.

The bubble worry keeps evolving 👇
"Is demand real?" → "Real but expensive" → now "Did they build too much?" Same nervousness, new shape.

Bright spot: software rose. Goldman upgraded several names, saying the fear that AI kills software is overdone. AI as helper, not killer.

The genuinely good news - inflation 👇
June ISM manufacturing expanded for a 6th month, and the ISM prices index posted its BIGGEST monthly drop since July 2022 (oil falling on the US-Iran deal). Even Fed Chair Warsh said inflation risk has come down - and did NOT push a July hike.

Next test: Thursday's jobs report.

Okay genuine question 👇
If Meta has so much AI compute it can sell the extra - are the giants overbuilding, or is AI just getting bigger than anyone planned for?
