July Markets in Focus: The AI Cash Burn Trade + Financials Upside

Phil Rosen joins Inside The ICE House to explain why Alphabet’s negative free cash flow quarter reflects aggressive AI investment rather than business weakness. He discusses how chipmakers continue to lead the AI trade while hyperscalers are building the infrastructure for longer-term gains. Rosen also argues that broader earnings strength beyond the Mag 7 is a healthy sign for the bull market. Looking ahead, he highlights financials as a sector poised to benefit from strong earnings, elevated rates, and increased deal activity.
