📝 Investment Points Summary

AI Expansion, Focus on Infrastructure: The market's center of gravity is shifting from AI chips to the foundational industries required to build and operate data centers, such as power (SMR), telecommunications (optical components), and construction. Continuous attention to the entire related value chain is necessary.
Volatility of J-Pattern Stocks: Stocks that experienced a correction today, such as NuScale Power and Robinhood, showed a 'J-pattern' where they formed a pullback after a strong rise on the previous day. While short-term volatility may increase, it is crucial to track whether the theme's continuity remains valid.
Expanding Influence of Macro Variables: Macro variables such as deregulation (Robinhood) and geopolitical risks (Alcoa) acted as key drivers moving individual stock prices. In addition to individual company fundamentals, attention should be paid to changes in the external environment.
