Good morning investors! ☕️
Markets spent most of the last two years rewarding anything linked to AI, semiconductors, or cloud infrastructure.
That trade is starting to change.
March has been one of the toughest months for U.S. equities since 2022. The S&P 500 is down roughly 7.4% for the month, the Nasdaq is in correction territory, and investors are moving away from expensive growth stocks toward companies with stronger cash flow, hard assets, and more predictable demand.
Energy, industrials, utilities, and consumer staples are becoming the market’s new leadership groups.
This week could tell us whether that rotation still has room to run.
With Jerome Powell speaking, payroll data due, month-end rebalancing, and earnings from names like Nike and Progress Software, the next few days could shape how markets start Q2.
I break down the key stocks, sectors, institutional flows, and risks that matter most for the week ahead.

Experts Would Invest $100,000 in This Alternative Now
A new Knight Frank report made an unexpected declaration. It revealed that 44% of family offices are investing more in residential real estate now. And, you don’t need to be Warren Buffet to see why.
Since 2000, residential real estate outperformed the S&P 500 by 70% in total returns. It’s the only asset that pays you to own it, grows while you sleep, and shields your gains from the IRS.
That’s why you need mogul. It’s a real estate platform that lets you invest in institutional-grade rental properties. You get monthly rental income, capital appreciation and tax benefits without a down payment or 3 a.m. tenant calls. In fact, over 20,000 investors have joined.
Here’s Why:
• Tax Benefits
• +7% annual yields
• 18.8% avg annual IRR
TLDR: You can invest in high quality real estate for a fraction of the cost. Why wait?

DEEP RESEARCH
Beyond NVIDIA: 4 Custom AI Chip Designers Gaining Global Market Share
For the last two years, the AI trade has looked simple: buy NVIDIA and ride the wave.
But the next phase may not be won by the same winners.
A new group of companies is quietly gaining share as hyperscalers move beyond merchant GPUs and build more of their own AI infrastructure. These businesses sit deeper in the stack, spanning custom chips, networking, data movement, and cloud integration.
They are helping make AI cheaper, faster and more efficient at scale.
NVIDIA is still central to the story. But the market is becoming broader, more specialised and more competitive than many investors realise.
This week’s deep dive explores the four companies quietly reshaping the future of AI infrastructure beyond NVIDIA.
