It's time to focus on AI's 'practical implications': Strategist
The ADP National Employment Report saw private payroll growth slow in May, signaling a cooling labor market. State Street Global Advisors Chief Investment Strategist Michael Arone joins Morning Brief to break down what's driving the market (^DJI,^GSPC, ^IXIC) amid sticky inflation. Arone points to tech earnings as a major market catalyst while the economy cools. He believes that the momentum fueled by the AI boom can continue, calling semiconductors "the key ingredient to the global economy."

While the AI race shows no signs of slowing anytime soon, Arone warns, "I think that we really need to move from possibilities of AI to the practical implications of AI."
