Nvidia is advancing its AI infrastructure dominance with a new partnership with SpaceX to build servers for space applications, targeting volume production next year. This strategic move provides a bullish catalyst for Nvidia amidst a broader semiconductor selloff driven by rising Treasury yields. The development highlights the continued demand for specialized AI hardware, even as macro headwinds pressure the wider tech sector. MSCI has announced it will delist MicroStrategy and Metaplanet from its Global Investable Market Indexes effective November 2026, citing new rules against non-operating companies. This structural change is expected to remove over $1.2 billion in passive fund flows, significantly tightening liquidity for Bitcoin-heavy firms. The move signals a regulatory crackdown on crypto-exposure in traditional indices, pressuring Strategy shares and potentially dampening sentiment for other crypto-linked equities. Anthropic is in discussions with the NYC Comptroller regarding its upcoming IPO, but reports indicate that investors are pushing to lower the company's valuation following the disclosure of latest financial data. This development underscores the growing challenge of financing AI innovation, as the high cost of capital and burning cash pressures valuations. The potential valuation reset for one of the largest AI IPOs could set a bearish precedent for the broader AI sector.
