Last week’s market was a tug-of-war between a stronger economy and higher rates. U.S. payrolls surged 162,000 in August, pushing the 2-year yield to 4.39% and the 30-year near 5.24%. Yet semiconductors remained strong, with SK hynix gaining nearly 10% and NVDA almost 6%.
That divergence matters: investors aren’t abandoning risk—they’re becoming more selective. AI infrastructure, memory and cash-generating financials are attracting capital, while expensive mega-cap growth names face greater valuation pressure.
This week, Apple’s launch event, August CPI and Oracle’s earnings could set the tone. A hot CPI may strengthen higher-for-longer fears; a softer print could revive growth stocks. My focus: NVDA, SK hynix, AAPL and ORCL.
