Meta has entered the frontier AI race with its 'Muse Wonder' model, intensifying competition with US peers. However, this technological advancement is tempered by warnings from Broadcom's CEO, who described current AI investment as 'casino-like,' suggesting a potential decoupling of hype from sustainable returns. Investors are closely watching for signs of demand destruction in the AI capex cycle. The upcoming earnings reports from ASML and TSMC are identified as the critical pivot point for the semiconductor sector. Analysts suggest that strong guidance from these foundries could trigger a massive rotation of capital out of the overbought energy sector and back into tech stocks. Conversely, weak outlooks could confirm the 'casino' narrative and prolong the energy rally.
