Expectations are spreading that the US stock market will remain broadly bullish through the summer. Recent market movements suggest that a rescue package for a fund specializing in AI investment has become a turning point, with renewed buying gaining momentum. AI-related and semiconductor stocks have once again attracted attention, and demand for these groups of stocks is reportedly increasing.
The July US jobs report showed that the number of employed people declined by more than the market had expected, while a slowdown in wage growth and a decline in the labor force were cited. Despite these factors, there is a view that overall buying appetite in the market remains elevated.
The sharp decline in market volatility has also supported buying by market participants. Lower volatility is increasing risk appetite and helping support purchases of AI- and semiconductor-related stocks.
Against this backdrop, interest is reportedly growing in efforts to provide AI-powered trading analysis and investment services related to AI signals, as well as in themes surrounding the expansion of AI investment and data center demand.
