Platzt jetzt die KI-Blase? Halbleiter-Aktien wie SanDisk, Micron, SK Hynix und Arm brechen massiv ein, der KOSPI crasht – doch ASML und TSMC liefern starke Zahlen. Ist der Chip-Crash eine Warnung oder entsteht gerade eine neue Chance für Anleger? In der neuen Ausgabe von „Das Briefing“ analysieren wir die wichtigsten Börsen-Themen der Woche: die globale Halbleiter-Krise, den Ausverkauf bei Chip- und KI-Aktien, die Quartalszahlen von ASML und TSMC, die neue Stärke des Russell 2000, die positiv überraschenden US-Inflationsdaten sowie den hohen Ölpreis und die Folgen des Iran-Kriegs. Unsere klare These: Die KI-Story ist nicht vorbei. Nach dem heftigen Abverkauf sind ausgewählte Halbleiter-Aktien wieder deutlich attraktiver bewertet und teilweise günstiger als zu Jahresbeginn. Gleichzeitig zeigen die Zahlen der wichtigsten Unternehmen der Chip-Lieferkette, dass die fundamentale Nachfrage nach KI-Rechenleistung, Speicherchips und modernster Halbleitertechnik weiterhin stark ist. Die entscheidende Frage lautet deshalb: Platzt gerade wirklich die KI-Blase – oder erleben wir lediglich eine überfällige Bereinigung nach einer extremen Rally? Diese Themen erwarten euch im neuen Briefing:

This week's Lagniappe podcast explores a market that continues to trade in a holding pattern. Greg and Doug discuss why easing inflation has helped calm markets, how strong bank earnings are setting an optimistic tone, and why small- and mid-cap stocks continue to outperform as demand for AI infrastructure fuels growth across the broader economy. The guys also recap an exciting FIFA World Cup semifinal round and preview Sunday's Argentina-Spain final. They close by discussing rising bond yields, what current betting markets suggest about the 2026 U.S. midterm elections, and why reducing political uncertainty could become an important catalyst for markets later this year.

The case for the Fed to ease interest rates "is not there," says Gina Martin Adams, arguing inflation has too much uncertainty to warrant a cut. She also outlines a situation in the bond market she believes fixed income investors are not prepared for. Gina adds that small caps and "riskier" equities will face certain pressure from a tentative interest rate hiking cycle. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – https://twitter.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/schwab-network/About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

Philip Blancato, CEO of Ladenburg Thalmann Asset Management, argues the U.S. economy remains resilient, supported by strong corporate earnings and continued AI-driven investment. He highlights opportunities in small caps, municipal bonds, commodities, and industrial companies benefiting from the broader spillover effects of AI spending, while making the case for a long-term materials super cycle.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – https://twitter.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/schwab-network/About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

Welt-ETFs gelten oft als einfache Lösung: breit gestreut investieren, Sparplan laufen lassen, fertig. Doch gerade bei den großen globalen ETF-Konzepten zeigen sich deutliche Unterschiede – bei Kosten, Ländergewichtung, Indexlogik, Performance, Nachhaltigkeitsfiltern und der Frage, wie viel USA-Anteil wirklich ins Portfolio gehört. In dieser Ausgabe von echtgeld.tv stellt Tobias Kramer gemeinsam mit Jannes Lorenzen, Geschäftsführer von justETF, die acht Welt-ETFs vor, die es auf die Shortlist beim PortfolioAward geschafft haben. Die beiden schauen auf quantitative Auswertungen, Kennzahlen wie Fondsvolumen, TER und Drei-Jahres-Performance sowie auf die ergänzende Auswahl durch den Expertenbeirat. Tobias und Jannes vergleichen klassische Weltkonzepte wie den MSCI World, breitere Ansätze wie ACWI IMI und FTSE All-World, spezielle Strategien wie Value, ESG, Ex-USA und Multi-Faktor – und ein fast 25 Jahre altes Welt-ETF-Fossil, das mit einer sehr simplen Idee bei der Drei-Jahres-Performance besonders auffällt. Dabei geht es nicht darum, den einen perfekten Welt-ETF auszurufen. Es geht um Einordnung: Welche Strategie steckt hinter welchem Produkt? Wo liegen Kosten- und Diversifikationsunterschied? Wie stark fällt die USA-Gewichtung aus? Und welches Konzept passt zu welcher Art von Anleger? Am Ende entscheidet Ihr: Welcher Welt-ETF soll beim PortfolioAward zum ETF des Jahres gewählt werden?

In Episode 194 of Facts vs Feelings, Ryan Detrick, Chief Market Strategist at Carson Group, and Sonu Varghese, Chief Macro Strategist at Carson Group, take on the "June swoon" and the powerful market rotation shaking up underlying sector leadership. They analyze insights from Sonu's time at the Economic Club of New York, covering Scott Bessent's speech on national security industrial policy, Kevin Warsh's influence at the Fed, and the broader message of the global market.The episode also digs into an unprecedented market breadth anomaly, a massive weekly outperformance in healthcare, the state of small caps, and why the current bull market is far from finished.From Apple's steep hardware price hikes and roaring nominal consumer spending to structural lessons from the 1990s dot-com bubble, the conversation connects the week's biggest headlines to the harder macroeconomic data underneath.Key Takeaways:The S&P 500 logged a five-day losing streak, yet advancing stocks outnumbered decliners every single day, a market anomaly unseen in nearly 30 years. Meanwhile, major advanced-decline lines hit all-time highs.While mega-cap tech paused, mid-caps rose 2.9% and small caps grew 3% month-to-date. Concurrently, healthcare staged an extraordinary 8% weekly jump, marking its largest weekly outperformance on record.Market warnings are often early; the S&P 500 doubled over the three years following Alan Greenspan's 1996 "irrational exuberance" speech. Navigating secular waves like AI requires strategic re-diversification, not exiting the equity market early.While inflation-adjusted real consumption sits around 2%, nominal spending rocketed at an 8.6% annualized pace over the last three months. Because corporate revenue is nominal, this massive wave of consumer spending continues to bolster corporate earnings.Driven by AI-related memory chip shortages, Apple announced steep price hikes including 30% for the HomePod mini and 55% for Apple TV. This demonstrates how one company's supply chain inflation becomes another tech supplier's margin expansion.Massive fiscal deficits at 6% to 7% of GDP mirror the late 1960s, continuing to inject liquidity and minimize near-term recession risks. We expect the Fed to keep rate cuts on pause as core services inflation remains sticky at a 4% annualized pace.While June represents a seasonally weak timeframe, July is historically the strongest month for stocks over the past 20 years, closing positive in 13 of the last 14 years.Jump to:0:02 - Welcome And NYC Market Leaders6:36 - June Swoon Turns Into Rotation9:50 - Breadth Thrust And Sector Breakouts16:24 - AI Momentum And Dotcom Lessons27:40 - Inflation Pressures And Apple Pricing33:32 - Fed Pause Risks And Fiscal Deficits35:42 - July Seasonality And Wrap UpConnect with Ryan:• LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ryandetrick/• X: https://x.com/RyanDetrickConnect with Sonu:• LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sonu-varghese-phd/• X: https://x.com/sonusvarghese?lang=enQuestions about the show?

"A hat full of surprises" is how Tony Welch classifies the first half of 2026, noting market resiliency in the face of geopolitical uncertainty. That said, he sees valuations "relatively high" in the AI space and doesn't see much more room to run for related stocks. Tony urges investors to brace for an AI rotation and points to other sectors he sees benefiting from the movement. The vast outperformance in small caps is something he expects to continue due to the U.S. economic outlook. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – https://twitter.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/schwab-network/About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

Eric Criscuolo, NYSE Market Strategist, recaps a volatile week as the S&P 500 declined amid weakness across mega-cap and AI-linked names. A growing divide within the AI trade emerged, with hyperscalers and software under pressure while memory and chip suppliers saw sharp swings. Despite index weakness, market internals held firm, with eight sectors higher and small caps outperforming. Rotation into Healthcare and Financials accelerated alongside falling oil prices, easing yields, and shifting Fed expectations. Focus now turns to quarter-end flows, key data including payrolls, and evolving AI spending trends.

 In this week's episode, David and Ian discuss the the recent rise in the U.S. Dollar and how that is interesting when paired with Emerging Markets and Small Caps outperformance. They also discuss the current range the S&P 500 has been in since May, the failed breakout in long-term interest rates, market breadth, and thinking in terms of percentages rather than nominal dollar values. 

Nancy Prial, Co-CEO of Essex Investment Management, urges investors to rotate beyond crowded AI trades into small- and mid-cap stocks with improving valuations and earnings. She highlights healthcare strength, especially in pharma and biotech, and names Axsome Therapeutics (AXSM) as a key opportunity. Prial also points to a resilient U.S. economy, supported by reshoring, infrastructure, energy, and a stabilizing housing market.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – https://twitter.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/schwab-network/About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

Charles Schwab's Kevin Gordon talks about the latest imports and exports data and what it means for consumer spending and GDP. He points out that real wage growth dipped into negative territory, a yellow flag for consumer health. On the jobs front, Kevin doesn't see a "full-fledged hiring boom" taking shape but doesn't see it as a bad thing for job seekers.

Der MSCI World wurde Ende Mai neu sortiert – und der USA-Anteil klettert auf rekordverdächtige 74 Prozent. Drei Viertel Amerika, dazu jede Menge Tech und große Werte: Ist das noch ein vernünftiges Basisinvestment oder ein gefährliches Klumpenrisiko? Die beiden Wirtschaftsjournalisten Dietmar Deffner und Holger Zschäpitz diskutieren, erinnern an Japan, das Ende der 1980er mal 45 Prozent des Index ausmachte und danach ein Jahrzehnt lang für Underperformance sorgte. Die beiden gehen die Alternativen durch: FTSE All World, der breite MSCI ACWI IMI mit Schwellenländern und Small Caps, der BIP-gewichtete Amundi-FTSE All World ETF, der Länder nach Wirtschaftsleistung sortiert, und der Gerd-Kommer-Multifactor-ETF. Dazu Bullen und Bären der Woche — von Nebius (plus 645 Prozent in einem Jahr) über Alphabets Rekord-Kapitalerhöhung von 80 Milliarden Dollar bis zur abgestürzten Beiersdorf-Aktie. Plus: die Barbell-Strategie nach Nassim Taleb und die alles entscheidende Deo-Frage. DEFFNER & ZSCHÄPITZ sind wie das wahre Leben. Wie Optimist und Pessimist. Im wöchentlichen WELT-Podcast diskutieren und streiten die Journalisten Dietmar Deffner und Holger Zschäpitz über die wichtigen Wirtschaftsthemen des Alltags.

In this episode of Market Pulse, host Grant Johnsey sits down with Jonathan Brodsky, Founder and Principal at Cedar Street Asset Management, to explore the evolving opportunity set in global small cap equities. As market dynamics shift, investors are increasingly looking beyond U.S. equities for diversification and return potential. Brodsky shares why non-U.S. small caps—often overlooked and less efficient—can offer compelling valuation opportunities and stronger risk-adjusted returns.  The conversation also examines how structural changes, including the rise of private markets in the U.S., are reshaping the small cap universe, creating a clear divergence between U.S. and non-U.S. companies. Brodsky explains how geopolitical developments, supply chain regionalization, and evolving corporate governance standards are influencing investment opportunities across global markets.  Finally, Brodsky outlines his disciplined, forward-looking approach to value investing—highlighting the importance of cutting through market noise, focusing on long-term fundamentals, and identifying companies positioned for sustainable returns.  Important Disclosures The audio podcast is being provided for informational and educational purposes only and is not meant to be taken as investment advice or a recommendation of any specific investment product or strategy.

Listeners, including professionals, should under no circumstances rely upon this information as a substitute for their own research or for obtaining specific legal, investment, accounting or tax advice from their own counsel. Non‑U.S. Small Cap Equities Non‑U.S. small cap equities may provide diversification and growth potential but carry elevated risks. These include currency volatility (e.g., U.S. dollar strength reducing returns), higher volatility, and lower liquidity. These securities are more sensitive to local economic, political, and regulatory conditions and may underperform in certain market cycles. They may include lower-quality or unprofitable issuers and are more exposed to trade policy and geopolitical developments. Alternative Investments Alternative investments are not suitable for all investors. Hedge funds use leverage, derivatives, and short selling, which can amplify losses. These investments are typically illiquid, lack regular pricing transparency, and charge high fees that may reduce returns. Interests are not readily transferable, and a secondary market may not exist. Investors should also consider tax complexity and reduced regulatory oversight compared to mutual funds.

Nathan Moser says he's seeing signs to be a bit more cautious of markets despite having a long-term bullish view. He believes the U.S.-Iran War needs to come to a swift end to avoid a stick shock effect from rising oil prices. For now, Nathan urges investors take a more defensive position following tech's parabolic rise. He likes small caps, Rivian (RIVN), and SI-BONE (SIBN) as long-term plays. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

The big things you need to know:First, we have lifted our 12-month-forward S&P 500 price target to 7,900, which represents a 7.7% gain from the May 7th close. In adjusting our forecast, we are focusing on our valuation/EPS model, which does the best job of baking in a two-speed economy and earnings backdrop.Second, on bigger-picture positioning, we continue to prefer Growth over Value, US over non-US, and like Small Caps (but not as much as Large Cap Growth).Our sector views are mostly unchanged, but we have lowered Health Care to market weight from overweight. Third, we run through the strong stats from 1Q26 reporting season.

 In this week's episode Ian and Kevin discuss the continued strength out of Semiconductors and Technology, while other areas of the market failed to reach or surpass previous highs.
