Morning brief: Brutal Inflation Just NUKED Rate Cuts โ€” But NBIS EXPLODED 15% on Insane 684% AI Growth ๐Ÿšจ

A brutal 6% PPI surge and hot April CPI just shattered rate cut hopes, forcing the market to price in prolonged restrictive Fed policy. NBIS exploded 15.7% to all-time highs after posting 684% revenue growth and locking down 1.2 gigawatts of power for a massive new AI factory. Marvell spiked 8% after 13F filings revealed a fresh AMD stake and Bank of America slapped a $200 target on booming AI networking demand. Micron broke $800 on a 4.8% jump as 2026 high-bandwidth memory completely sold out and Deutsche Bank unleashed a street-high $1,000 price target. The immediate catalyst is today's Trump-Xi Beijing summit on AI guardrails, setting the tone before Nvidia's make-or-break earnings report next Wednesday.

Posture: Defensive. Hot CPI/PPI shattered rate cut hopes. Ahead of the Trump-Xi AI summit and NVDA earnings, holding cash is the prudent tactical move.

Evening brief: BREAKING ๐Ÿšจ: The Dow SHATTERS 50K as Nvidia RIPS to $5.7 Trillion on a Massive China Bombshell ๐Ÿ”ฅ

The S&P 500 shattered 7,500 and the Dow crossed 50,000 today, fueled by relentless AI infrastructure spending and Cisco's blowout earnings guidance. Nvidia surged over 4% to a historic $5.7 trillion market cap after the US cleared ten Chinese firms to purchase its H200 AI chips. Nebius Group spiked nearly 7% following a massive Q1 earnings beat, swinging to profit as AI cloud demand drove revenue from $51M to $399M. Robinhood popped 5% after reporting a 12% jump in April platform assets to $345 billion, proving its business is outgrowing pure crypto volatility. Watch Nvidia's earnings on May 20 closely; any miss on their 75% gross margin target could trigger a brutal reality check for the AI rally.

Posture: Building Cash. The S&P 500 at 7,500 reflects extreme speculative froth. Reducing beta ahead of Nvidia's critical May 20 earnings to protect capital.
