Leveraged AI ETFs Surge 20+%, Google Slides: Can Chips Keep Rallying? Memory demand is improving confidence — but cash flow and interest rates will decide what comes next. | October 29, 2026 Hey Tigers! The semiconductor rebound has fresh earnings support. But the broader market is still moving cautiously, and Microsoft and Alphabet have just shown why investors are becoming more selective about the AI trade. My view: this rebound can extend if memory demand translates into higher earnings and customers keep funding infrastructure.

Chicago Fed President Austan Goolsbee delivered the clearest hawkish signal of this entire cycle: AI-related inflation has begun pushing up prices beyond data centers into the broader economy, inflation remains too high, and — asked directly whether the FOMC should hike this month — his answer boiled down to: if inflation stays elevated, what the Fed must do "is very clear." He added that if the AI bubble deflates, leverage means it could "get ugly." Markets now price roughly 64% odds of an October hike. That single number is the gravitational force pulling Nasdaq futures down 0.55% this morning. Waller: Let the bond market do the work. Governor Wa
