Market Analysis
AI highflyers led by memory and optical-communications names extended their synchronized slide. At the same time, more broadly cyclical areas of the economy saw a broad-based advance. Apple, known for its more cautious investment posture during the AI boom, and Coca-Cola, the dividend stalwart sometimes nicknamed “America’s Moutai,” both surged to fresh all-time highs.
At the close, the S&P 500 rose 0.21% to 7,428.78; the Nasdaq Composite fell 0.22% to 24,876.91; and the Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 1.03% to 52,747.32, leaving it only a step away from its record closing high of 53,055.91.
Of all S&P 500 constituents, 357 rose, 145 fell and one was unchanged on Tuesday, underscoring the market’s breadth. The S&P 500 Equal Weight Index gained 1.14% and reached a new all-time high.
The market’s continuing “seesaw” rotation shows that investor pessimism is far from uniform. By Tuesday’s close, memory names Micron fell 8.85%, SK Hynix lost 8.98%, and SanDisk declined 14.25%, leaving it down roughly half since July began. In optical communications, Corning fell more than 12% and Coherent lost more than 10%, while Dell Technologies declined 8.15%, Intel dropped 5.86% and AMD fell 8.15%.
Given these stocks’ explosive gains in the first half of the year, investors who rotated into the AI trade only in recent months are now in the awkward position of having missed the upside while absorbing a sharp, halving-style pullback.
Meanwhile, the continued decline in international oil prices supported broader economic sectors. Alongside Coca-Cola’s post-earnings surge, JPMorgan and 3M also reached new record closing highs.
Software, which had long lagged amid the AI surge, continued to strengthen on Tuesday. Adobe rose 4.81%, IBM gained 5.21%, Salesforce advanced 4.55%, Huishen climbed 6.76%, and Thomson Reuters added 5.66%.
This coexistence of a chip-stock selloff and defensive-stock gains is also one of the most difficult environments for some quantitative traders. The Dow Jones U.S. Thematic Market Neutral Momentum Index recorded its largest decline since February on Tuesday.
The abrupt slide in AI-related shares this month also highlights how quickly market sentiment can change, setting the stage for the upcoming reports from technology giants. Microsoft and Meta will report after Wednesday’s close, followed by Apple and Amazon on Thursday. In Asia, SK Hynix is scheduled to report on Wednesday, Samsung Electronics on Thursday and Kioxia on Friday.
The Federal Reserve will also announce its latest interest-rate decision during U.S. trading hours on Wednesday. The central question is how Chair Warsh will maintain a “no forward guidance” approach while markets clearly expect rate hikes in the autumn.
Key Takeaway: The market’s seesaw rotation continued as memory and optical-comms names halved while Apple, Coca-Cola, JPMorgan and 3M hit fresh all-time highs. Breadth was strong — 357 of 500 S&P stocks rose — but the Nasdaq slipped as chip stocks dragged. Fed decision and Mag7 earnings this week are the key catalysts.
At the close, the S&P 500 rose 0.21% to 7,428.78; the Nasdaq Composite fell 0.22% to 24,876.91; and the Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 1.03% to 52,747.32, leaving it only a step away from its record closing high of 53,055.91.

Institutional Views
J.P. MorganCONSTRUCTIVE
Positive on global equities in 2026, forecasting double-digit gains in both developed and emerging markets. It cites earnings growth, lower rates, reduced policy headwinds and continued AI expansion, while highlighting market polarization and elevated downside risks.
Goldman SachsCONSTRUCTIVE
Constructive on equities as earnings continue to grow, but expects lower index returns than in 2025 and a broader bull market. It notes that sturdy global growth can support global equities, while high valuations may increase volatility.
AmundiSELECTIVE
Maintains a mildly pro-risk yet selective stance. It identifies high US valuation and concentration risk, trims US-equity exposure and diversifies toward Europe and the equal-weight S&P 500; it favors resilient businesses, strong balance sheets and selected defensive/quality cyclicals.
