Opening Recap
Market Pulse: Tech stocks ripped higher and blue-chips blasted past the 50,000 mark yesterday, sending market sentiment into overdrive after a choppy week.
Key Movers: “Dow crosses 50K for first time as stocks enjoy best day since May 2025” (CBS News) and “Dow Surges Past 50,000 As Tech Stocks Recover” (HuffPost) stole the show, while “Amazon shares plunge as AI costs climb” (CNA) reminded everyone innovation comes at a price.

Enhanced Market Commentary
Before you celebrate that Dow milestone, take a hard look at the creeping AI expense cycle. Amazon’s latest shares plunge (“Amazon shares plunge as AI costs climb,” CNA) isn’t an isolated glitch—it’s a hell of a canary in the coal mine for margin stress across high-growth tech as they chase the AI dream.
Meanwhile, ZenO’s public beta debut (“ZenO launches public beta integrated with story for real-world data collection powering physical AI,” Ambcrypto.com) and India’s deeptech sops (“Startup India sops to boost deeptech firms’ revenue, research,” The Times of India) aren’t separate headlines—they signal a global arms race for next-gen AI infrastructure that’s as geopolitical as it is technological.
Position yourself now: scrutinize which chip and robotics names can sustain pricey AI rollouts, and vet startups tapping India’s grant programs before the herd piles in. This isn’t hype—it’s strategic groundwork.
