Despite macro headwinds, demand for AI infrastructure remains insatiable. SpaceX is seeking $40 billion in debt to purchase Nvidia chips, confirming massive capital expenditure commitments from hyperscalers. Concurrently, Nvidia is reportedly in talks to invest another $1 billion into Figure AI, signaling continued confidence in the robotics and AI hardware stack. This sector-specific strength contrasts with the broader tech selloff driven by bond yields, highlighting a divergence between AI infrastructure leaders and general tech valuations. The technology sector is facing broad pressure from rising Treasury yields and competitive shifts. Broadcom slipped over 1% in premarket trading as bond yields surged, reflecting the sensitivity of high-multiple tech stocks to interest rate hikes. Additionally, Roblox shares dropped following the announcement of a Google and Unity AI-powered game creation platform, which threatens to disrupt the existing creator economy and lower barriers to entry for game development, potentially eroding Roblox's moat.
