Meanwhile, Blue Origi...

Meta’s neocloud ambitions are more about feeding its own AI and ad engines than becoming a cloud rental giant — massive data centers like Hyperion won’t be ready until 2030, and even then, most power stays in-house.

Semiconductor stocks are on the brink after a brutal sell-off that erased $2 trillion — but buyers are rallying to defend key support levels. The SOX index needs to hold around 11,950, while the iShares ETF (SOXX) must stay above 535 to avoid a deeper plunge. If those levels hold, a rebound to 13,000 or even 14,000 is possible.
