US Markets Wrap: Chips Power the Rebound, AI Optimism Lifts Wall Street

Stocks slipped for a second straight session as tech and chip stocks pulled back, with Nvidia and Broadcom leading the declines amid Chinese trade restrictions.

We’ll also look at where investors are taking risk today and what it says about the next phase of the bull market.

Markets slipped from record highs as investors sold banks despite JPMorgan’s earnings beat, highlighting growing unease over policy risk and valuation. This episode unpacks why strong results weren’t enough to lift financials, how President Trump’s proposed credit-card rate caps and other interventionist ideas are rattling investors, and what softer core CPI means for the Fed’s rate path. With stocks brushing off geopolitics but reacting sharply to domestic policy noise, Jason Britton, Founder and CIO of Reflection Asset Management, weighs whether this is healthy profit-taking—or an early warning that political risk is being repriced.
