After a more-hawkish-than-expected speech from Federal Reserve Board Chair Jerome Powell this week, stocks are suddenly plummeting. The record AI-inspired performance that tech stocks had in the first half of 2023 is turning into a late-summer market crash.  Did the Fed pop the AI Bubble with its shockingly hawkish commentary? Are we going back to

The rally comes after a deep correction in some of the top tech stocks last year. While big technology names have been in the focus, this column looks at the lesser-known tech stocks that

Last year, growth stocks and EV stocks faced challenges. But 2023 has brought a strong comeback, driven by government support and rising fuel costs. Amid this, market differentiation between EV sector leaders and laggards has become evident, with some stocks surging while others decline. Oftentimes, investors have EV exposure through ETFs.
