08:06 09/22 UTC — Mixed
Market sentiment is mixed as tech valuation concerns and heavy AI capex projections balance out strong stock-specific corporate news. BlackBerry gained significant traction following a $100 million software deal with Coretura, while On Holding rallied on a new $1 billion buyback announcement. Crypto markets remain bullish, underpinned by nearly $1 billion in daily spot Bitcoin ETF inflows.
Equity markets exhibit a balanced picture as debate around stretched mega-cap tech valuations and massive $1 trillion projected AI capital expenditures limits broad market momentum. A subdued opening across European stock indices contrasts with localized positive catalysts, particularly in automotive software and consumer retail. Meanwhile, cryptocurrency sentiment remains elevated, supported by record spot ETF daily capital inflows.
