The Call

September 23, 2026

Evening edition · Published 5:33 PM ET

Equities closed mixed as SPY dipped 0.7%, with chip stocks NVDA and AMD each down 1.5% alongside weakness in fintech (SOFI -3.6%, FUBO -4.9%) and streaming (TTWO flat, TTD -3.8%). The outlier: PLTR surged 3.7% to its year high, signaling renewed appetite for enterprise AI/infrastructure plays. Treasury yields remain elevated, pressuring rate-sensitive names, while CRM's 1.8% pop and U's 2.3% jump suggest selective rotation into cloud and fintech infrastructure. Watch overnight for Trump-Xi summit implications on auto/tech supply chains and earnings season momentum into tomorrow.

The conversation

AI infrastructure capex cycle (PLTR, Jensen Huang narrative, Bessemer fund) · Treasury yield surge and rate-sensitive selloff (fintech, growth) · Trump-Xi summit: supply chain, auto, China tariff implications · Enterprise AI adoption (CRM, cloud tooling, agent commerce early signals) — hottest: AI infrastructure and enterprise adoption outpacing macro headwinds; PLTR breakout signals institutional shift.

Opportunities
  • Bessemer $5.75B AI fund open; agent commerce tooling, edge infrastructure targets hot.
  • Meta-Amazon Muse standoff signals demand for creator-to-commerce infrastructure plays.
  • OpenAI-Anthropic UN testimony: compliance tooling and regulatory-grade AI frameworks opportunity.
  • YouTube micro-drama-to-TV pivot: short-form agent content monetization emerging.
  • Palantir momentum: enterprise data orchestration and governance layers in demand.
