As of today, semiconductor stocks are showing a sharp divergence in performance. $AVGOon Broadcom and $AMD continue to trade significantly lower, while Marvell Technology $MRVLon has staged a strong recovery, completely reversing its premarket decline and moving into positive territory.
My take: this kind of divergence is often a sign that investors are becoming more selective rather than abandoning the AI trade altogether. Money appears to be rotating toward names with the strongest momentum, earnings execution, and AI-related growth narratives.
Unless we see a major macro shock or a sharp deterioration in AI spending, I expect volatility to remain elevated in the near term, but the broader technology sector could continue trending higher through the second half of the year. The biggest winners may not be every semiconductor stock — but the companies that consistently deliver AI-driven revenue growth.
After the hack, the latest Aave report proposes two ways to handle its bad debt, and both are problematic
The first spreads losses across all rsETH holders, meaning about a 15% drop to cover roughly 124 million dollars. This unfairly impacts regular users and weakens trust in DeFi
The second shifts the burden to Layer 2 networks like Arbitrum, Base, and Mantle.rsETH there could fall up to 73%, protecting mainnet but severely hurting L2 users and damaging confidence in Aave’s multi chain strategy
In my opinion, a better path would be for Aave to coordinate with LayerZero, Kelp DAO, and other partners to absorb the losses together
Restoring trust matters more than choosing the least painful shortcut
