## Resource

AI demand remains strong as Samsung's earnings reinforce long term confidence in semiconductors despite near term profit taking. Plus, SpaceX joins the Nasdaq 100, drawing billions in passive inflows as investors weigh index inclusion and insider lockups. Later, NATO defense spending, the World Cup's economic impact and shifting market leadership keep investors focused on the second half of the year.
