AI Waves Rock the Market, But Health Stocks Stay Strong

Monday was a wild day on Wall Street, with the S&P 500 taking a dip. The culprit? A Chinese AI startup named DeepSeek. The big question was whether this startup created a super-efficient AI model with very little investment. If true, this could shake things up for the big tech players like Amazon, Microsoft, and Google, who might cut back on their AI spending. This could be great news for their profits, but not so much for chipmakers like Nvidia and Broadcom, who saw their stocks fall over 15%.

Power suppliers like Eaton and Vertiv also took a hit, with Eaton down 15% and Vertiv plunging nearly 30%. But what if DeepSeek's developments boost AI adoption? That could be a game-changer for chip demand and software developers. Salesforce, for instance, was having a great day. But the biggest winner was health care, with stocks like Eli Lilly, Bristol Myers Squibb, and Danaher on the rise. Investors were flocking to these stocks for their dependability amidst market uncertainties.
