Jensen Huang’s departure has shaken confidence in the AI boom, forcing investors to ask whether enormous infrastructure spending can deliver returns fast enough to justify its cost.
SPX500 has reclaimed 7,500, but until momentum strengthens and price clears 7,615, inflation uncertainty and lingering doubts over AI spending leave the bounce vulnerable to a retest of 7,300.
The AI boom is facing its first serious reckoning as investors shift their focus from the scale of infrastructure spending to whether promised returns can withstand political uncertainty, rising costs and mounting pressure on profitability.
