What happened
Morgan Stanley's Global Investment Committee set a one-year target for the S&P 500 at 8,300, noting that the rally is heavily driven by AI infrastructure spending and semiconductor stocks. Separately, reports indicate that chipmakers like Micron Technology, SK Hynix, and Samsung reached $1 trillion in stock market value due to insatiable demand for AI memory chips.

Why it matters
The market rally is concentrated in a small number of large stocks and sectors, with AI beneficiaries being primary drivers. However, Morgan Stanley warned that US consumers are under increasing strain, evidenced by weakening real purchasing power and rising credit card delinquencies.
