Why Did Tech Rally While the Fed Raised Rates?
The Fed raised rates, and tech stocks still rallied.
Every textbook says the opposite should happen.
The explanation comes down to one thing: the gap between what the market had priced in and what it actually got.
On 16 September, the Fed raised its policy rate by 25 basis points to 3.75–4.00%. The decision was unanimous at 12–0 and marked the first hike since 2023. Projections point to one more increase before year-end. August CPI came in at 3.4% year on year with core inflation at 2.4%, and nonfarm payrolls beat expectations at +162,000. The macro backdrop points to tightening, not easing.
Yet on 17 September risk appetite improved: the 10-year Treasury yield slipped to 4.93%, back below 5%; the VIX dropped 11% to 15.7; oil eased. Investors read the hike as less hawkish than feared and reversed the previous session's sell-off.
The real fuel, however, is AI capital expenditure. The top five cloud providers are set to spend roughly $602bn in 2026, up 36% year on year, with about three-quarters of that going into AI infrastructure. UBS models $4.1tn of hyperscaler investment across 2026–2028. A narrative backed by cash flow can survive a high-rate environment.
DeFi veterans will recognise the logic: narrative sets direction, liquidity sets speed.
But are these four stocks really one "AI basket"? No — and that distinction changes your risk. Article 3 explains why.

One stock jumped 14.9% in a single session.
Most of the market read it as the return of the AI rally.
But the central bank raised rates the same week — so where did the buying really come from?
On Thursday, 17 September 2026, all three major US indices closed higher. The Nasdaq Composite gained 1.7% to 26,418.30, the S&P 500 added 1.1% to 7,637.76, and the Dow Jones rose 0.6% to 51,778.04. The day belonged to AI names: Tempus AI (TEM) climbed 14.9%, Super Micro Computer (SMCI) 9.5%, Astera Labs (ALAB) 9.0% and Arm Holdings (ARM) 8.5%. The semiconductor index added 3.1%.
Step back, though, and the numbers tell a different story. Over the full week the Nasdaq was up just 0.3%, while the Dow was down 1.5%. What we have is not a trend change but a powerful one-day surge.
The reason is that each of the four stocks carried its own company news: a growth message from Tempus AI management at a healthcare conference, record order intake at Super Micro, a new memory controller from Astera Labs, and a data-centre chip target at Arm.
The takeaway is blunt: headlines amplify moves, data supplies context. In Web3, analysts who read on-chain liquidity before the headline apply exactly the same discipline here.
So are these four really part of one story? The answer is more uncomfortable than it looks — Article 2 goes straight at it.
