*Market Rebound – What’s Fueling the Surge Right Now 🚀*

- *Tech-led bounce after TSMC’s win* — Wall Street snapped a two-day dip on Jan 15, 2026, after Taiwan Semiconductor (TSMC) reported record Q4 revenue and a $52–56 B capex plan for AI chips. U.S.-listed TSMC shares jumped 5.4%, dragging Nvidia (+2%), Broadcom (+1.4%), and Micron (+1.9%) higher. The S&P 500 added 0.58% to 6,967 and the Nasdaq climbed 0.84% to 23,669 ¹.

- *Broadening beyond tech* — While mega-caps still lead, small‑caps, industrials and healthcare are now outpacing the S&P 500. The equal‑weighted S&P 500 rose ~3.6% in Jan vs. 1.1% for the cap‑weighted index — a classic “rotation” signal ².

- *Earnings season boost* — Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley posted stronger‑than‑expected profits, lifting bank stocks (+0.9%) and giving risk appetite a second wind. BlackRock surged 3.8% as AUM hit a record $14.04 T ¹.

- *Geopolitical easing & policy tailwinds* — Reduced Middle‑East tensions and a delayed Supreme Court ruling on semiconductor tariffs kept “fear‑of‑trade‑war” pressure low, helping markets hold support at key moving averages (Nasdaq 30‑day EMA) ³.

- *Global spillover* — German GDP grew 0.2% in Q4 2025 after two years of recession, UK GDP jumped 0.3% in Nov (thanks to Jaguar Land Rover’s post‑cyberattack recovery), and Asian equities (Korea, India, Vietnam) are riding AI‑export momentum ⁴ ⁵ ⁶.

- *Crypto angle* — Bitcoin and ETH are leading the rebound, with whale accumulation up 15% in the last two weeks. Altcoins with real utility (Polygon, Chainlink, Arbitrum) tend to outperform once blue‑chips stabilize — a classic “buy‑the‑dip‑then‑rotate” playbook ⁷.
