AI Gives Stocks a Lift, Dollar Mixed Tracking Fed, Tariffs

UNITED STATES, JUL 31 – The Federal Reserve held rates steady amid persistent inflation while new US tariffs affected trade with India and South Korea, and tech earnings boosted market sentiment.

  • Microsoft joined the $4 trillion market value club Thursday amid strong tech earnings and investor enthusiasm for artificial intelligence.
  • This milestone occurred as investors increasingly concentrated on AI-related stocks, while traditional market leaders weakened and indicators of consumer economic health showed signs of deterioration.
  • Meanwhile, the cryptocurrency BNB fell 4.5%, dropping from $805.7 to $766 amid heavy sell orders and volume surges near $803, reflecting broader crypto losses.
  • The CoinDesk 20 index dropped 5.8% in 24 hours, while President Trump's tariffs started to take effect, pushing the U.S. dollar index above 100 for the first time since May.
  • These developments suggest markets rely on concentrated tech strength and AI gains, but face mixed investor sentiment from fading rate cut hopes and new trade tariffs.
