📊 AI Momentum, Miners Gain Ground

Good Evening Investors,

Momentum in artificial intelligence remained a key driver for technology-heavy indices, lifting the NASDAQ. The flow of capital toward established AI leaders left many names range-bound or under pressure.

Industry moves were uneven. Mining and resource-linked equities showed relative strength, with junior miners and exploration plays benefiting from firmer commodity prices. Technology groups were mixed, reflecting selective demand within healthcare innovation.

Niche M&A and partnership activity in payments and fraud prevention highlighted ongoing secular demand for small-cap fintech and cybersecurity names. These industry-specific catalysts continue to shape performance, even as broader benchmarks remain volatile.
