Trevor Williams The current tech sell-off represents a buying opportunity in the AI revolution, particularly in cybersecurity and software sectors that have been unfairly punished by the market, Dan Ives of Wedbush Securities said. Ives, in an interview with CNBC, described the current environment as a “white-knuckle moment” and a “risk-off trade” but maintained that the underlying tech thesis remains intact and the turbulence is likely to be measured in weeks rather than months. “The AI ghost trade. The software sell-off continues to be the most disconnected trade I’ve seen in my career,” he said in the interview. He pointed to companies like CrowdStrike ( CRWD ), Zscaler ( ZS ), Palo Alto ( PANW ), and Checkpoint ( CHKP ) as attractive cybersecurity plays, noting that the sector has actually outperformed during recent market turmoil and should continue to do so given the heightened geopolitical landscape. Beyond cybersecurity, Ives remained bullish on broader software names, including Salesforce ( CRM ), ServiceNow ( NOW ), Oracle ( ORCL ), and Microsoft ( MSFT ). He noted that software has shown relative strength recently, suggesting a potential bottoming in the sector following an Anthropic ( ANTHRO ) event that helped shift market sentiment. On semiconductors, the analyst acknowledged that the risk-off trade has hit the sector hard, with even strong earnings reports failing to lift stocks. Despite Micron’s ( MU ) blowout quarter and Nvidia ( NVDA ) remaining sideways for months, he argued these names should be owned given the long-term AI buildout. “Demand is 12 to one versus supply in terms of the AI revolution,” he noted, emphasizing that the industry is only in year three of an eight- to ten-year infrastructure expansion. Ives recommended a “barbell approach” for navigating the current volatility, balancing defensive and offensive positions within the tech sector. He cautioned against getting caught up in “dystopian views” during periods of market stress, em...

akuzone/iStock via Getty Images For most of the final quarter of 2025, the macroeconomic landscape was shaped as much by what investors couldn't see as by what they could. The U.S. government shutdown—lasting a record 43 days—created a significant information vacuum just as markets sought clarity on growth, inflation, and policy trajectories. Despite the data fog, the global macro backdrop proved “good enough” for risk assets. Global growth held firm, inflation stayed sticky but avoided more disruptive outcomes, and most central banks leaned more accommodative than hawkish. In the U.S., elevated downside labor market risk kept U.S. Federal Reserve (“Fed”) easing in play, leading to rate cuts even as the economy expanded. However, policymaker dissents emerged as the Fed Funds rate approached the Federal Open Market Committee's neutral estimate. International markets—particularly Japan and parts of Europe—offered broadly supportive signals, though political uncertainty occasionally weighed on European sentiment. Since mid-2024, most major developed market central banks have cut rates by 150-200 basis points (1.50%-2.00%) or more, meaning some could be close to the end of their easing cycle. The Bank of Japan remains on a separate trajectory with a gradual pace of rate hikes from a highly accommodative starting point, including two in 2025 and two more expected in 2026. Overall, the global tariff environment proved less disruptive than earlier fears. U.S. monthly tariff collections rose but remained well below levels implied by announced policies, while statutory rates edged lower as deals and exemptions took hold. Still, investors monitored persistent trade-related risks alongside other potential headwinds, including slower AI investment, labor market softening, bond market volatility tied to inflation or fiscal stress, and ongoing risk of geopolitical shocks. Financial markets capped a strong 2025 with 4Q gains across both equities and fixed income. Many fixed income...

Alan Ritchson, the actor best known for his role in the hit action series Reacher, was filmed allegedly assaulting his neighbor in front of the actor’s children. In a video obtained by TMZ on Sunday, the 43-year-old appeared to strike a man several times as he kneeled on the ground in what looked like a suburban neighborhood in Tennessee. Two children, reported by TMZ to be Ritchson’s, can be seen nearby sitting on motorbikes and watching the incident unfold. Speaking to the outlet, the alleged victim, Ronnie Taylor, claimed that Ritchson had been riding his motorbike through the neighborhood at high speeds while revving the engine on Saturday. Taylor said he responded with an obscene gesture, which Ritchson allegedly returned, according to TMZ. Taylor added that on Sunday, Ritchson came back to the neighborhood, this time accompanied by his two children on their own motorbikes. Taylor claimed he told Ritchson, “Can you stop this please?” – and the situation escalated into a physical altercation. He alleged that Ritchson struck him “at least four times”. Photos obtained by TMZ show Taylor with visible bruising and swelling on his face. However, other sources cited by TMZ countered that Taylor approached Ritchson in a “really aggressive manner” and allegedly attempted to interfere with his motorbike, causing the actor to fall and sustain minor injuries. Another source told TMZ that Taylor had “initiated and instigated” the encounter. The Guardian has contacted Ritchson’s representatives for comment. Ritchson is widely recognized for portraying the fictional former US army military police officer Jack Reacher in the Amazon Prime Video series Reacher. The character has extensive combat experience and is frequently shown taking down opponents in intense fights. The show, based on author Lee Child’s bestselling crime novels, has been praised for Ritchson’s physical performance and closer resemblance to the protagonist’s original depiction of a muscular man who is 6ft 5in...

Get live prices, charts, and KO Scores from KnockoutStocks.com , the data-driven platform ranking every stock by quality and breakout potential. Broadcom (AVGO) stock jumped 4.7% on Monday morning after Bernstein analyst Stacy Rasgon published a bullish note on AI infrastructure and specifically called out Broadcom as a top pick. Broadcom Inc., AVGO Rasgon rates Broadcom “outperform” and confirmed that Bernstein holds the stock in its own portfolio. He made the same call on Nvidia (NVDA), which rose 1.65% on the day. The note comes at an interesting time. Broadcom hit an all-time high of $413 per share on December 10 last year, and the stock had fallen roughly 22% since then as AI sentiment cooled across the market. Rasgon pushed back on that pessimism. “AI demand currently shows no signs of slowing,” he wrote, pointing to Broadcom’s most recent quarterly results as proof. The company posted a 16% rise in sales and a 173% jump in profits. With AVGO trading around $321, Rasgon sees the valuation as a clear opportunity. He projects earnings per share of $20 or more for fiscal year 2027, which would put the stock at roughly 16 times forward earnings at current prices. The Earnings Math That forward multiple stands out when you factor in where Broadcom is coming from. The company earned just $5.12 per share over the past twelve months. Getting to $20 by 2027 would represent roughly 400% earnings growth in two years — approximately 100% growth each year. Even on trailing earnings, the stock trades at around 60 times earnings. Rasgon’s argument is straightforw...

Traders work on the floor at the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) in New York City, U.S., March 18, 2026. Brendan McDermid | Reuters S&P 500 futures and oil futures flashed an unusual burst of activity early Monday minutes before a market-moving social media post from President Donald Trump. At around 6:50 a.m. in New York, S&P 500 e-Mini futures trading on the CME recorded a sharp and isolated jump in volume, breaking from an otherwise subdued premarket backdrop. With thin liquidity typical of early trading hours, the sudden burst stood out as one of the largest volume moments of the session up to that point. Zoom In Icon Arrows pointing outwards A similar pattern was observed in oil markets. West Texas Intermediate May futures also saw a noticeable pickup in trading activity at roughly the same time, with a distinct volume spike interrupting otherwise quiet conditions. Zoom In Icon Arrows pointing outwards Roughly 15 minutes later, at 7:05 a.m., Trump said on Truth Social that the U.S. and Iran had held talks and that he was halting planned strikes on Iranian power plants and energy infrastructure. That announcement prompted an instant rally in risk assets, with S&P 500 futures soaring more than 2.5% before the opening bell. West Texas Intermediate futures dropped nearly 6% following the announcement. Zoom In Icon Arrows pointing outwards The timing of the earlier volume spikes across both equities and crude caught the attention of traders, particularly given the absence of an obvious catalyst at the moment they occurred. Early-morning futures markets are typically less liquid, which can make short bursts of buying and selling more noticeable than during regular trading hours. Still, the trades raised some eyebrows because whoever purchased a large amount of stock futures and sold or short crude futures at that moment made a lot of money just minutes later. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and the CME Group didn't immediately respond to CNBC's requests fo...

Chart analysts expect the selling could resume after a short-term bounce. Stocks surged Monday after President Donald Trump said he's had "productive" talks with Iran , and temporarily called off attacks on any Iranian power plants and infrastructure. The S & P 500 was last higher by 1.2%, though the most forceful response occurred in the premarket when futures tied to the index rallied by as much as 4.1%. But technical analysts expect the rally will be short-lived. The S & P 500 was already oversold after four straight weeks of selling — meaning Monday's bounce was largely expected even without the latest news on the war — but a troubling breakdown in the longer term trend suggests there's more downside ahead. "Three of our market internals are oversold, which may allow for a rebound this week," Katie Stockton, founder at Fairlead Strategies, wrote in a Monday note. "However, we would not chase the rally, noting the preceding breakdown below the 200-day MA increases downside risk for the coming weeks." .SPX 1D mountain S & P 500, 1-day The S & P 500 fell below its 200-day moving average last week. The technical indicator averages the closing price of an underlying asset over 200 days, helping traders identify longer-term trends. Craig Johnson at Piper Sandler agreed. He said that investors should view the premarket activity as a "relief rally" for now, and should watch key resistance levels at 6,621 at the 200-day moving average, and 6,770 for the 20-day moving average. Ari Wald, head of technical analysis at Oppenheimer, said he expects that a near-term bounce could bring the S & P 500 back up toward an upper range of 6,900, about 6% above Friday's close. He pointed out that Wall Street's fear gauge has failed to spike back above 35 as it did in early March, a sign of abating selling pressure. But he expects that the S & P 500 could fall to 6,175 over the next six months, a more reasonable reset level on an intermediate basis that he said would represent a roughly...

ASML Holding (ASML +3.33%) stock, the Dutch manufacturer of machines that manufacture semiconductors, jumped 5.1% through 11:40 a.m. ET Monday after Bernstein analyst Stacy Rasgon published a bullish note on the artificial intelligence industry. Rasgon didn't mention ASML directly... but investors are acting almost like he did. Bernstein loves Broadcom and Nvidia In today's note, the Bernstein analyst argues that despite the sell-off in artificial intelligence stocks this year, "AI demand currently shows no signs of slowing." If things keep going the way they're trending, semiconductor titans such as Broadcom (AVGO +3.28%) could quadruple its 2025 profits to more than $20 per share, while Nvidia (NVDA +1.38%) could do nearly as well, growing from under $5 last year to $12 or more in 2027. What does this have to do with ASML stock, though? Consider: If Nvidia and Broadcom are swimming in profits, it makes sense the third-party contractors (such as TSMC) that make their chips would also have more money to spend. One step up the supply chain, it makes further sense that much of this money might be spent at ASML, buying machines to make even more of the chips that are producing the profit. This is how good news for Broadcom and Nvidia could translate into great news for ASML. And the fact that Bernstein sees continued supply constraints from insufficient AI chip production lends further weight to the theory there will be great demand for ASML's machines.
