Tech took a mixed close: mega-cap rotate sparked AAPL +3.5% and ADBE +6.1%, while semiconductor weakness dragged AMD -3.3% and MU -7.0%. The bigger signal: agentic AI is actively reshaping e-commerce—Google Shopping's AI overhaul is reshuffling DTC winners, and agents are now influencing online shopping decisions at scale. Nvidia's $250B OpenAI data-center financing deal underscores the infrastructure arms race fueling this shift.

• BTC +1.2%, ETH +4.3%—crypto remains resilient
• Agentic AI reshaping e-commerce decision-making and DTC rankings
• Nvidia backstopping OpenAI's $250B data-center financing—infrastructure battle heats

• AAPL — Ranked among most attractive Magnificent Seven on future cash-flow fundamentals; broad software/AI upside narrative.
• ADBE — Benefiting from AI tooling momentum; positioned as cash-generative AI infrastructure play.
