Mandeep Singh, Global Head of Tech Research for Bloomberg Intelligence, weighs in on a record run for semiconductors. Chip stocks are heading for their best quarter ever, extending an extraordinary start to the year driven by insatiable demand for artificial intelligence equipment. But after recent jitters sent the stocks tumbling, investors are wondering how much further the rally can go. The Philadelphia Stock Exchange Semiconductor Index has soared 82% in the second quarter, putting it on track for its best quarter ever with one day to go. The gauge is up 94% in 2026, which if it holds would mark its best year since the dot-com boom in 1999. In contrast, the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 Index has gained 26% in the second quarter, while the S&P 500 Index has risen 14%.  Poonam Goyal, Senior U.S. E-Commerce and Retail Analyst for Bloomberg Intelligence, previews earnings from sportswear giant Nike. Investors will look for further signs of progress in the company’s comeback effort as Chief Executive Officer Elliott Hill cements a leadership reset. Traders will also seek details about one-time tariff refunds and demand tied to the FIFA World Cup, as well as clarity on a report saying Nike planned to halt online sales by partners in China. Kenneth Shea, Senior Consumer Products Analyst for Bloomberg Intelligence, looks ahead to earnings from Constellation Brands. The company’s revenue is expected to retreat a fifth quarter in a row, weighed down by weaker wine and spirits sales. Operating margin is seen expanding though the benefits of an improved sales mix were likely offset by higher aluminum can costs.  Erin McLaughlin, Senior Economist at the Conference Board, discusses the latest economic data. US consumer confidence edged up in June, as falling gas prices offset concerns about the labor market. The Conference Board’s gauge of confidence increased 0.6 point to 91.2 after a downward revision to the prior month, data released Tuesday showed. The median estimate in a Bloomberg survey of economists was 94.4. An indicator of present conditions fell, while a measure of expectations for the next six months advanced. A metric of perceptions about the job market closely monitored by economists fell to the lowest in more than five years. The report shows that cheaper gas resulting from a truce in the Middle East helped assuage some of the anxiety Americans have expressed about the economy in recent months. However, views of job opportunities deteriorated and consumers expect little improvement in the coming months. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
