(8th May) The Silent Rally 90% Missed

The S&P 500’s late-day rebound yesterday wasn’t random—it could be traced to Trump’s comments about easing global chip restrictions, giving semiconductor stocks (and the broader tech sector) a much-needed boost. NVIDIA ($NVDA), a key AI bellwether, jumped to its highest level since late March on the news and i’m hopeful $NVDA to move up to $120-$122 though ARM’s (-6.8%) post-close warning reminded us that not all tech names are out of the woods yet.

Key Takeaways from Wednesday’s Session

- Tech’s Policy-Driven Rebound: The chip-curbs discussion provided a catalyst for beaten-down semis, though selectivity remains critical (as ARM’s drop shows).

- FOMC Non-Event: The Fed’s unanimous vote and steady messaging reinforced the "wait and see" stance—but policy is in good place without new hawkish surprises, markets exhaled after.

- Treasuries Join the Rally: Falling yields (10-year below 4.5%) suggest growth is still intact.

What’s Next? A Path to 5,700+

The SPX’s showed strength to hold above 5,600 and push through 5,655 would signal the next leg up toward 5,700+, likely by early next week. Two tailwinds support this:

1. Technical Setup: The index is coiled after recent pause, with semiconductors ($SOXX) showing renewed leadership.

2. Macro Backdrop: Tariff uncertainties linger, but the Fed’s neutral tone and softer yields reduce near-term equity headwinds.

Bottom Line

With tech finding a bid, yields retreating, and the Fed on hold, the setup favors a grind higher into the week.

All-Time High vs. 20% Drop: Is Microsoft New Safe Haven Over Apple?
It’s not just yesterday. Microsoft has been on an impressive tear lately. After blowing past expectations in its Q1 earnings (which led to a 7.6% surge in a single day), the stock barely paused. No real pullbacks, just steady daily gains, the definition of “slow and steady wins the race.” However, Apple hovers at $200 and loses 20% YTD. In its latest WWDC, Apple delays Siri AI upgrade to Spring 2026. --------- Has the Throne of Stock King Been Taken by Microsoft?
