Narong Rammanee/iStock via Getty Images Over the past two months, I have published a series of articles here on Seeking Alpha that all centered around the AI supercycle and supply chain. I wrote about multiple different kinds of bottlenecks in the supply chain, and every single one of those pieces was bullish on the demand trajectory. I still believe in that demand trajectory. Nothing in the supply chain data has changed my mind, but something else has changed. The price you are being asked to pay for that demand story has gone completely haywire. The Nasdaq ( NDX ) is up roughly 27% from its March 30 lows, and the semiconductor ETF ( SOXX ) has gone up like 70% in the same time. Data by YCharts So, you can see that a huge chunk of this melt-up has been powered by semiconductor stocks, specifically the names I have been covering. And I bought most of these names at much lower levels, so I have been a direct beneficiary of this rally. But what I am seeing right now is that the market has priced in a perfect outcome for every single one of these companies linked to the AI supply chain while ignoring everything else. Now, I am not calling for the end of the AI bull run, but I believe that this rally right now is way overextended and due for a correction that will be big enough to drag the Nasdaq down about 12 to 15% from the highs. Right now everything is in such overbought territory that even the DOW and S&P 500 ( SPX ) are up 10% and 17% from April's lows, respectively. Data by YCharts If I had to pick one fundamental factor that I believe will result in the correction, it would be the hyperscaler's free cash flow going negative due to the Capex and the market not pricing any scenario where AI Capex growth decelerates. So, Big Tech has committed over $1.15 trillion in combined capex from 2025 to 2027. This year alone, the Big Five hyperscalers (Amazon, Microsoft, Google, Meta, and Oracle) are about to spend something like $600 to $660 billion combined. This spending ...

Chinese EV giant BYD plans to set up its first European car plant in Hungary. Photographer: Akos Stiller/Bloomberg via Getty Images Bloomberg | Bloomberg | Getty Images As President Donald Trump meets Chinese President Xi Jinping this week, lawmakers in both parties are warning the White House not to use the U.S. auto market as a bargaining chip in any deal with Beijing . The warning stems in part from Trump's January suggestion that he could welcome Chinese automakers if they built vehicles in the U.S. with American workers — remarks that were later walked back but still rattled auto-state lawmakers, unions and industry groups. Trump in January in an appearance at the Detroit Economic Club said he would happily welcome Chinese automakers to manufacture in the U.S. The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment. For lawmakers in auto-heavy battleground states like Michigan and Ohio , even a limited opening for China could be politically explosive. They warn that if heavily subsidized Chinese automakers gain a foothold in the U.S. market, it could threaten domestic manufacturing jobs in states central to the 2026 midterm elections and the next presidential race. "If your state is in the Rust Belt, letting Chinese automakers into the U.S. market would be detrimental and politically bad for many people," said Stephen Ezell, a vice president at the Information Technology and Innovation Foundation, a Washington think tank focused on industrial competitiveness that has studied Chinese automakers. "You're talking about risks to industry, jobs, factories and whole communities." So far, Democrats have pitched the fight over Chinese autos as critical to protecting union jobs and domestic production, while Republicans are casting it as part of a broader eco...

Nearly half of the crude oil released from the US Strategic Petroleum Reserve is being exported, a fresh sign of how severely global supplies have tightened amid the Iran war. About 13 million barrels from the US emergency stockpile have sailed to Europe and other destinations, according to data from Kpler Ltd. based on US Customs’ documents. That represents roughly 40% of the crude released so far from the reserve. The last tanker to load crude from the SPR was the Kyrakatingo , which took 700,000 barrels of Bryan Mound Sour oil, a variety named after one of the four underground salt caverns where US emergency supplies are stored. It’s not uncommon for oil from the emergency cache to be exported. In 2022, after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine disrupted global oil flows, traders shipped almost 21 million barrels from the SPR to refiners in Europe and Asia, or roughly 10% of the total release. Still, the scale of exports this time highlights the strain on global crude markets after the near closure of the Strait of Hormuz. The Trump administration pledged to release 172 million barrels from the reserve as part of a broader effort by advanced economies to ease the strain of the Iran war on global energy markets. So far, the US has agreed to loan 133 million barrels, with more than half snatched by trading companies. Trafigura Group alone secured about a quarter of that. The oil is being released in batches between March and August, and so far, only 31.3 million barrels have effectively left the caverns, according to the Energy Department. The release comes at a pivotal moment for President Donald Trump , whose administration is trying to negotiate a peace deal with Iran while confronting rising fuel costs at home. Prices at the pump have climbed 50% since the start of the war to around $4.50 a gallon. At the same time, American refiners are poised to boost crude intake ahead of the summer driving season, when demand for the fuel peaks.
