AI Rally Reboot: Can Breakouts Hold and Drive the Next Leg?

Stocks rebounded as the AI rally returned, led by mega‑cap strength (MSFT, NVDA, AMZN, GOOG) and a rebound in chip names, with the S&P 500 flirting with a breakout and the Nasdaq‑100 climbing. The rally’s durability now hinges on holding key levels: S&P around 7,490–7,600, Nasdaq‑100 about 28,800–29,000, and the SOX near 10,500, with upside targets near 12,500–13,000 for chips and 30,660–30,760 for the Nasdaq‑100. Apple lagged the rally, while Citadel’s AI portfolio move removed some overhang, leaving the market’s next move to broader participation beyond the megacaps.

SpaceX climbs toward a $3 trillion megacap, eclipsing Amazon and nudging Microsoft

SpaceX surged in its post-IPO run, approaching a $3 trillion market value and briefly surpassing Amazon while edging past Microsoft, putting it in the same megacap league as Nvidia, Alphabet and Apple. The rally boosted SpaceX’s value by about $413 billion in a single day, after a broader rise from its IPO price, underscoring investor conviction that SpaceX is a diversified megacap with Starlink, defense, launch services and AI infrastructure in its core story.

S&P DJI Keeps Core Rules, Adds Thresholds for MegaCap Additions

S&P Dow Jones Indices completed a market consultation on MegaCap treatment and will maintain the current eligibility criteria for the S&P 500, S&P MidCap 400, and S&P SmallCap 600 (financial viability, seasoning, and IWF) while not granting exceptions based solely on market cap. For the broader S&P Total Market Index, S&P Completion Index, and Dow Jones U.S. Total Stock Market Index, new entry criteria are proposed: a stock must have either an IWF of at least 0.10 or a float-adjusted market cap at least 10% of the 100th largest company in the respective index. Current constituents still have no minimum, and exceptions to the viability, seasoning, and IWF rules remain unlikely to be granted purely on market cap. The Float release after IPO lock-ups may be phased, and IPOs meeting the updated IWF rules could fast-track into the indices. Implementation is set to take effect before market open on June 8, 2026.

The Federal Reserve left rates unchanged at 3.5%–3.75% and Powell said he’ll remain on the board after his chair term ends; ECB and BOE decisions are due soon, with markets eyeing potential June moves in Europe as oil-driven inflation dynamics loom.
