AI remains a concentrated index driver when leadership names reprice, so vague AI headlines still matter for beta even without a clean mechanism. AI-linked megacaps and semiconductor names (NVDA) usually absorb the first move until a clearer demand or valuation signal appears. The AI headline matters only if prices confirm a demand, valuation, or capability shift.
