Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang resigns; shares close 4.3% lower
Why it matters: Nvidia is the AI boom's supplier, financier and chief voice in Washington. Whoever succeeds Huang decides whether it keeps backstopping customers and deals, and with it how cheaply the AI build-out can be funded.

Wall Street gets choosier about funding the AI build-out
Why it matters: When money gets dear, the AI race turns on who can fund chips and power, not just who has the best model. Debt-heavy players feel it first.

China's AI stocks crash 40% as US neocloud debt stress spreads
Why it matters: Two kinds of deflation are under way at once: a retail-driven equity crash in China and a slow squeeze on America's most indebted builders. Whether the US stays on the slow path depends on Big Tech's own earnings paying for the build-out.

America’s $10tn AI data-centre boom is starting to fray
Why it matters: AI’s physical build-out runs on borrowed money. When rates rise and bond buyers hesitate, the weakest builders stall first, and the labs that rent from them inherit the delays.

CoreWeave shows the AI trade's weak spot: the borrowers
Why it matters: Higher-for-longer rates act like a tax on anyone in AI who isn't a cash-rich giant. Watch the borrowers: they crack first if the boom cools.
