The Nasdaq's "V" bottom recovery has defied bearish predictions, driven by a pause in tariffs and strong tech earnings, particularly in AI sectors. Semiconductor investors should stay confident, as AI growth fears were overstated, with Nvidia's transition to Blackwell and TSMC's investments anchoring the AI thesis.

The U.S. and China agreed to reduce tariffs on each other's goods for 90 days, boosting global equity markets and easing trade tensions. U.S. tariffs on Chinese imports will drop from 145% to 30%, while China will cut tariffs on U.S. goods from 125% to 10%. The tariff reductions are expected to lower input costs, alleviate supply chain pressures, and enhance cross-border commerce in key industries.
