Broadcom has secured $60 billion in chip sales funding for Anthropic, signaling a strategic pivot in the AI hardware market that could dilute Nvidia's dominance. This is compounded by reports of Nvidia insiders selling over $967 million in shares in September, the highest on record. The market reaction is mixed: Broadcom (AVGO) and Anthropic beneficiaries see positive sentiment, while Nvidia (NVDA) faces significant bearish pressure from both capital diversion and insider selling. Apple is reportedly cutting iPhone 18 Pro orders by 15% due to AI memory costs and is restricting access to its new AI agents. This signals weakening demand or margin pressure in the consumer electronics sector. The move is bearish for Apple (AAPL) and its supply chain partners, reflecting a broader trend of tech giants pulling back on hardware investments amid economic uncertainty.
