06:09 09/13 UTC — Mixed
Financial sentiment remains cautious and mixed amid fears of spiking crude oil prices and potential US Treasury sell-offs. Tech sentiment is split between concerns over AI capex spending cuts for companies like NVDA and AMD, and intense retail bullishness around stock-specific catalysts in ORCL and SMMT.
The market displays a sharp contrast between broad macroeconomic anxiety and selective retail stock speculation. Concerns are mounting over rising oil prices and geopolitical tensions alongside potential US Treasury selling by Japan's GPIF. Meanwhile, individual stocks like Oracle and defense names attract targeted bullish interest, while semiconductor giants face headwinds from rumors of AI capex slowdowns.
