📊 Biotech Up, AI Under Pressure

Good Morning Investors,

Biotechnology names extended recent momentum, with the Nasdaq Biotech Index gaining more than one percent as traders positioned for upcoming trial and earnings catalysts. Technology and AI linked stocks, by contrast, remained more volatile. A series of underwhelming AI related earnings and cautious forward guidance have tempered enthusiasm for smaller growth names, leaving valuations vulnerable to short term repricing.

ADP employment data and a pending Supreme Court tariff ruling added to the day’s event risk, introducing potential catalysts for rotation across rate and trade sensitive stocks. Market tone remains constructive. Momentum is strongest in resource and biotech segments, while investors appear increasingly selective favoring companies with visible earnings strength and tangible catalysts over speculative AI or unprofitable growth stories.
