Jabil's strong AI revenue forecast underscores the robust demand for AI infrastructure, while OpenAI's decision to skip a congressional hearing highlights the regulatory friction facing the sector. These events suggest a divergence between the commercial viability of AI hardware and the political risks for software platforms. The US economy showed resilience with GDP revised upwards for both the first and second quarters, while inflation measures came in lower than expected. This 'Goldilocks' data supports the case for a soft landing and reduces the urgency for aggressive Fed rate hikes, though it complicates the narrative for rate-cut expectations.
