Focus on Big Tech spending plans | MarketTalk

Chip stocks bounced back as investors returned to the AI trade, but the real challenge is only just beginning.

At the same time, rising oil prices, higher inflation expectations and climbing bond yields are increasing borrowing costs, making the AI spending boom harder to sustain. Will Big Tech reaffirm its ambitious capital expenditure plans, or will management teams begin to show signs of caution?
