What stands out

Scott Bessent saying he will "at least double" the maximum size of long-term Treasury operations landed as a bond-market shock, forcing investors to rethink yields and the value of long-duration tech assets. On the same day Alphabet and Marvell announced a chipmaking tie-up, which pushed Broadcom shares lower, showing how artificial intelligence (AI) supply-chain news and macro moves can collide in one headline-driven session. Press coverage is already asking whether Alphabet's chip push helps it chase Nvidia by 2027, so this clip ties macro and tech narratives together in real time.
