On July 2, news that "Meta plans to build its own cloud business and sell surplus AI computing power" ignited the market, with interpretations suggesting that capital expenditures from large-scale firms have peaked. Meta surged 8.81%, marking its best performance in six months, while stocks of companies that supply storage chips faced significant sell-offs. The S&P 500 closed at 7485.02 points, down 0.19%; the Dow Jones Industrial Average closed at 52305.24 points, nearly unchanged; the Nasdaq Composite fell 0.66%, with the Nasdaq 100, primarily composed of chip and momentum stocks, dropping 1.5% to close at 29809.13 points. Some market analysts believe that the market is re-evaluating the pricing logic of the computing power supply chain. Concerns are rising that large-scale firms are slowing down their procurement, directly impacting the "shovel sellers" in storage and semiconductor sectors. According to BIT (bit.com) market data, AI-related U.S. stocks plummeted across the board: major stock Micron closed down 10.57%, AMD fell 6.8%, and NVIDIA dropped 1%. In the storage sector, SanDisk led the decline with a drop of 10.62%, while STX and WDC both fell over 5%. Mid-cap stocks represented by the CPO concept experienced even sharper declines, with GLW down 13.62%, AAOI down 6.18%, and MRVL down 8.71%. AI infrastructure stocks, which had performed well in recent days, also saw significant pullbacks, with AMAT and LRCX both falling nearly 10%. This morning, the Korean stock market continued its downward trend, with the Korean index opening down 5% before hitting a circuit breaker. The Nikkei 225 index saw a daily decline of 2.00%. Notably, as the AI frenzy cools, Bitcoin seems to be attracting some capital back, rebounding to over $61,000 last night and this morning.
