UK GDP Grows as Alphabet Drops 4% and SpaceX Shorts Hit 29%

On today's episode of Market Brief – After Hours, a sharp chip sector selloff and Alphabet's 4% drop on a delayed Gemini 3.5 Pro launch dragged tech lower, even as US earnings season quietly beats expectations. We break down TSMC's capex shock, a brutal session across Asian chip stocks, and the UK's surprising return to GDP growth. We also cover EUR/USD, GBP/USD, USD/JPY and USD/CHF, plus moves in gold, silver, oil and a striking surge in SpaceX short interest. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
