MARKET FLASH — JULY 7, 2026 Markets are entering a new phase of the AI race: after the infrastructure investment boom, investors are starting to ask who will actually be able to monetize it. Meanwhile, Europe is back in the spotlight, driven by a mix of reforms, geopolitics and cooling inflation. In this episode:

AI enters its "second phase": after the race to build chips, memory and data centers, the market is now focused on who can turn these investments into real revenue. The Magnificent Seven, jokingly renamed the "Lag Seven," have underperformed, while the high-beta momentum basket dropped about 18% in two sessions — the worst two-day sell-off since Covid.
Market leadership is broadening: the Russell 2000 has outperformed the S&P 500 in 10 of the last 12 sessions, an event that has happened only three times in twenty years. The rotation is visible within tech too: away from chipmakers and toward companies with proprietary data, enterprise software, cybersecurity and cloud platforms — Snowflake being the clearest example, alongside Salesforce, ServiceNow and CrowdStrike.
Financial leverage is amplifying moves: leveraged AI ETFs now manage around $300 billion in assets and, with average leverage of roughly 2.5x, can generate up to $20 billion in buying or selling in the final hour of trading on volatile days — explaining the sharp late-session swings.
Europe returns to center stage: Germany has launched a sweeping pro-growth reform agenda, oil has fallen about 40% over three months, Eurozone inflation has surprised to the downside, and the composite PMI is back above the 50 mark. At the Sintra forum, Lagarde struck a notably more confident tone on the resilience of the European economy.
The Fed turns more hawkish: new Chair Kevin Warsh has adopted a tougher stance than expected, supporting the dollar — though positioning already near historical highs may limit further near-term gains. Geopolitics is back in focus too, with the NATO summit and possible developments on the Russia-Ukraine front.

The key message is that AI isn't slowing down, but the market is starting to distinguish between those building the infrastructure and those who will actually capture its economic value. This points to two investment ideas for the second half of the year: Europe, supported by cheaper valuations, reforms and a potentially improving geopolitical backdrop; and gold, which looks attractive again after its correction, with lighter positioning and central banks still accumulating.
