The QL Read
With market breadth running 63.5% advancing and MSFT carrying a composite signal of 76/100 at $384.36, Amazon's $25B capex disclosure lands in a broadly positive tape for AI infrastructure names — though MSFT's flat session (+0.17%) suggests the market has not yet repriced the competitive read-through.
