## Resource

The first half of the year ends with chips and semiconductors soaring and software sinking. How the Magnificent 7 can stay afloat after the major software losses, and if gains in the chip and semi space will continue in the second half. Then, Neuberger senior research analyst Kevin McCarthy lays out what’s next for Nike after its fourth-quarter earnings results, and if investors are running to other discretionaries. Plus, Bitcoin on track for its lowest levels since 2024, the trillion-dollar defense industry, and telecom trading at near-two year lows. Fast Money Disclaimer
