NVIDIA Computex 2026 keynote (Mon 11:00 Taipei) — Huang unveils N1X RTX Spark AI-PC chip co-developed with Microsoft (“reinvention of the PC”); Vera Rubin VR200 rack center-of-show, mass production 2H 2026

Two-hour keynote covers AI, PCs, robotics. The N1X PC chip is the surprise: Nvidia + MSFT 3-yr collaboration to wrest AI-laptop silicon from QCOM (Snapdragon X) and challenge AAPL silicon. Premarket: IBM +12%, NOW +10%, ARM +bid on Huang “agentic AI doesn’t kill software, it expands it” pushback. QCOM -9.6%, INTC -5.8%, WOLF -8% on AI-PC displacement and competitive read-through.

US-Iran escalation re-ignites — CENTCOM hits Iranian radar & drone-control sites near Geruk and Qeshm Island after Iran downs US MQ-1 Predator over international waters; Kuwait air defenses intercept inbound drones/missiles Mon AM

Weekslong ceasefire fragile but holding around energy infra; Strait of Hormuz still chokeheld by IRGC. WTI bid back to ~$95-96 from $91 last week; Brent equivalent move. Bullish defense (LMT, NOC, RTX, GD) and refiners (PSX, VLO, MPC) on diesel cracks; bearish transports (DAL, UAL, LUV) and EM-equities. Headline tape stays two-way: Hormuz close = WTI $110+; deal resumption = WTI fade to $85.

ISG (servers/networking/storage) $29B, +181%. GAAP net income $3.44B (+256%). Pipeline "multiples of backlog" even after $24.4B conversion. Validates the entire AI-server build-out and lifts SMCI, HPE (reporting Mon AMC), NTAP, ANET. Drives the Friday Nasdaq record close and bleeds positive read-through into AVGO Wed and CRWD Wed. Bull case for hyperscaler capex cycle into 2H 2026.

Combined with the May 6 xAI Colossus 1 lease ($1.25B/mo through May 2029, 220k+ GPUs, 300MW), Anthropic is now the world’s most valuable private AI lab. Positive read-through: NVDA (GPU rental price floor), MSFT (Maia inference partnership talks), neoclouds (CRWV, NBIS, IREN, APLD). Marginal negative for OpenAI dedicated-infra valuation.

Consensus building around +125-145K; UR 4.2%; AHE +0.3% m/m.

Huang at Computex dismisses AI-disruption fears for software — IBM +12%, ServiceNow +10%, ARM bid; software-stocks rally extends; ORCL/CRM/ADBE benefit by sympathy

Direct quote: “A lot of people have said, ‘Jensen, AI is coming. Agentic AI is coming. Therefore, all software companies are going to go out of business.’ I said it’s exactly the opposite.” The framing flips the SaaS-pocalypse narrative that pressured CRM (-32% YTD pre-print) and WDAY into May. ServiceNow positioned as “control tower” for enterprise AI. Reopens the bid in AI-software laggards if duration is contained by NFP and AVGO.

AWS Q1 +19% y/y on AI; MSFT Azure +31% y/y (~12pts AI); GOOG Cloud the fastest-growing of the three. ~75% ($450B) is AI infrastructure — servers/GPUs/datacenters. Capex sustainability is the bear case; revenue follow-through (Anthropic $47B run-rate, Dell $51B backlog, AVGO $73B backlog) is the bull’s receipt.

Analytics & Directional Conclusions (3-5 day horizon)

Overall Market Stance

Carry the AI-hardware/power complex, hedge into Friday NFP, watch Iran tape. The S&P just printed its 9th consecutive weekly gain (May +5.2%); Nasdaq/Dow hit fresh records Friday on the Dell blowout ($51.3B AI backlog, FY27 AI server guide raised to $60B). The Nvidia Computex keynote Monday extends the AI-PC narrative and crucially defuses the SaaS-pocalypse fear that had pressured CRM, WDAY, IBM, NOW — IBM +12% and NOW +10% premarket on Huang’s “software lives” framing is the cleanest sentiment-flip catalyst since Computex 2024. But: every binary then funnels into Wed AMC (AVGO + CRWD double-stack) and Fri 08:30 NFP, while the Iran tape just re-flared (US strikes near Geruk/Qeshm, Kuwait air-def intercepting drones). Posture: long the structural AI/memory/power trend through Wed AMC, then de-gross 20-25% into Thu close ahead of NFP, re-add Fri midday on a benign print. SK Hynix +15% to ATH last week + HBM sold out through 2026 + Anthropic $965B (now > OpenAI) confirms the demand side is not just hyperscaler-funded slogans — it’s converting to revenue. Risk is concentration in a few mega-cap winners; breadth still healthy but watch the IWM/SPX ratio if 30Y crosses 5.15%.

Mon 6/01 — 10:00 ISM Mfg PMI (54.0); 23:00 TW Nvidia Computex keynote; AMC HPE. Plan-around: ride the IBM/NOW/ARM premkt squeeze; do NOT add to QCOM/INTC into close.
