The S&P 500 peaked on July 31st and turned lower as we turned the calendar. It’s currently down -3.3% in August after rising for five consecutive months.

Years that start strong tend to digest their gains in August through November before a year-end rally.

His move reflected an inclination that perhaps the markets are topping out, and could face a downturn. More details are in the article.

How New AI Demands Are Fueling The Data Center Industry In The Post-Cloud Era – VentureBeat

Hyperscalers acknowledge that it is unrealistic to self-build everything, and leasing will continue to play a major role in capacity procurement. As a result, hyperscalers are relying more heavily on leasing for speed to market, while also considering smaller self-builds to offset future demand. This suggests a potential increase in the total number of self-builds and a more heterogeneous mix of self-builds and leased capacity within cloud regions and even individual availability zones.
