Global markets rose as investors continued to bet on the technology companies driving the AI boom, Al Jazeera reports. The Nasdaq gained 1.18 per cent on Tuesday, while South Korea’s KOSPI was up 5.84 per cent early on Wednesday.
Why it mattersThe rally has a concrete chip-industry thread: SK Hynix reported a sharp jump in third-quarter operating profit, and its shares rose more than 8 per cent. Major technology earnings due this week will give investors another chance to judge whether enormous AI investments are paying off. A day’s market rise is a sentiment check, not a verdict on AI’s returns. Still, the contrast with recent jitters over AI spending shows how quickly the market’s mood can turn.
Discuss: Are these rallies evidence that investors trust the AI business case, or are they still trading the promise more than the results?
