About this episode

Vincent O'Neill and Nick Ryder discuss the recent challenges in the semiconductor market and broader economic factors affecting investments.

In this episode of SB Talks, CEO Vincent O'Neill sits down with CIO Nick Ryder to unpack the market's latest "chipwreck" as high-flying semiconductor stocks hit a patch of turbulence after a record-breaking run. They explore what is driving the AI investment boom, why chip makers are thriving while tech giants face growing scrutiny over spending, and whether the market is due for a reality check. The conversation also turns to stubborn inflation, central banks keeping investors on their toes, and what a more unpredictable Federal Reserve could mean for markets.
