THE FED JUST CHANGED THE GAME. IS THE AI RALLY IN TROUBLE?
WARSH SENT A VERY CLEAR MESSAGE Kevin Warsh didn't come to Jackson Hole to reassure markets. He came to remind them that inflation is still the problem. His message was blunt: 65 months of elevated inflation. And despite two years of progress, the improvement has been… modest. Even worse for equity bulls, Warsh said the latest CPI and PCE numbers haven't convinced him that underlying inflation has meaningfully improved. That was enough. RATE-HIKE ODDS JUST EXPLODED Before Warsh's speech: September hike probability: 35% After the speech: 58% Rate That's a massive repricing in a single day. Treasury yields moved higher. Rate-sensitive technology stocks got hit. And $NVIDIA(NVDA)$, after exploding +8.7% following earnings, gave back much of the move,
NVIDIA JUST REIGNITED THE AI TRADE, BUT CAN THE FED KILL THE PARTY?

AI IS BACK, BUT THIS TIME IT'S SPREADING The most interesting part wasn't even Nvidia. It was software.

The iShares Semiconductor ETF gained +1.6%, while technology was the best-performing major sector. $Philadelphia Semiconductor Index(SOX)$ After seven consecutive sessions of tech weakness, investors suddenly stepped back into the AI trade.And now we know why. NVIDIA REPORTS TODAY. Nvidia THIS ISN'T JUST AN NVIDIA EARNINGS REPORT
NVIDIA + WARSH: THE WEEK THAT COULD MOVE WALL STREET
The market is no longer watching the data. It’s watching what the Fed does with it. After several weeks of relatively quiet gains, the market is finally showing signs of fatigue. Monday told the story: Dow: +0.26%. $S&P 500(.SPX)$ : -0.28%. $NASDAQ(.IXIC)$ -0.76% And the bigger warning? Technology has now fallen for 7 consecutive sessions. $Technology Select Sector SPDR Fund(XLK)$ So what is really happening?

The Market Is Stuck. Nvidia Holds the Key. But Watch Out. This week, bonds called the shots. Next week, all eyes turn to **Jensen Huang** and his AI empire. Since the last earnings report, $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ stock has gone nowhere. Yet options markets are pricing in a ±5.3% swing by Friday’s close. That’s a $562 billion market cap move, up or down. NVDA The Bull Case: Everything Looks Perfect Nvidia carries a 7.6% weight in the S&P 500. Its forward P/E has cooled to ~20, way below the 5-year average of 63.
