What stands out

Schwab's Market Minute highlighted two AI flashpoints: Nvidia's $4 billion stake in Nebius and Oracle's $7 billion collateral demand tied to a large AI data center project. The contrast matters because one is a bold capital deployment by a company whose revenue and profits have exploded, and the other shows that AI rollouts bring financing and construction risks that can create outsized headlines. It's a neat microcosm of today's market, where rapid fundamental change and project-level risk trade places under the same AI banner as traders rotate into tech ahead of earnings.
