As of the week in question, global equity funds attracted a net inflow of $98 billion, marking the second-largest single-week inflow in history. This is the fifth consecutive week of net inflows, with total cumulative inflows reaching approximately $350 billion. Fueled by this trend, the four-week moving average of inflows has risen to around $75 billion, an all-time high. For comparison, during the 2021 meme stock frenzy period of "Retail vs. Wall Street", the peak of this four-week average inflow was only about $45 billion. Meanwhile, the tech sector also saw strong capital inflows: global equity tech funds posted a net inflow of $2.6 billion that week, bringing total inflows over the past three weeks to $9.1 billion. Despite the recent market pullback, investors did not retreat; instead, they demonstrated strong willingness to "buy the dip", injecting capital into the stock market on an unprecedented scale.

The US government is currently adopting a typical "pressure for talks" strategy toward Iran. On one hand, Trump recently told senior advisors that he may suspend military strikes against Iran, provided that Iran and the Houthi movement it backs do not carry out new provocations against the US. Sources say Trump has been wavering between escalating the conflict and gradually ending hostilities. After reviewing national security meetings and intelligence briefings, he now leans toward suspending the strikes and aligns with the position of Middle Eastern allies that calls for avoiding a full-scale war. Intelligence agencies also assess that launching new military strikes will not significantly alter Iran’s negotiating demands. On the other hand, US military pressure has not ceased. While Trump is considering suspending the strikes, the US military remains prepared to escalate operations if necessary. It is reported that a third aircraft carrier will enter the Middle East in the coming days, and may even stay in the region alongside the existing carrier. Meanwhile, Trump has retained the option of striking Iran’s underground nuclear facilities. The US is hedging its bets between carrier deterrence, strikes, and conditional suspensions, hoping to force Iran to make concessions at the negotiating table through maximum pressure.

Jensen Huang’s sudden departure has put Nvidia’s over $500 billion "AI cycle financing machine"—built on equity investments, guarantees, and buybacks—at risk of stalling. Fourteen institutions including Goldman Sachs and UBS have successively cut Nvidia’s price targets, warning that if the company stops channeling funds to clients and suppliers, even temporarily, it could instantly drain over $500 billion in liquidity, equivalent to triggering an "AI version of quantitative tightening." Affected by this, CoreWeave, which relies heavily on Nvidia’s credit endorsement, plunged 11% on the day; the $40 billion loan it is promoting, with Nvidia as the guarantor, faces uncertainty. Over the past three years, Nvidia has effectively acted as the "lender of last resort" for the AI industry. Through a circular logic of buying chips, funding buyers, and backing landlords, it has built a massive portfolio including $99 billion in equity investments, $108.5 billion in guarantees, and $56 billion in repurchase agreements. This model has packaged emerging cloud service providers with low credit quality (such as Neocloud) as investment-grade debtors. Now that its key operator has left, some clients and Wall Street partners have begun demanding to renegotiate terms and increase backstop ratios, meaning credit spreads across the entire downstream industrial chain will widen broadly. Currently, Nvidia’s previously high-profile $500 billion financing platform has been stalled for three months, with no transactions closed yet. On November 17, interim CEO and CFO Colette Kress will host the earnings call. Kress, who tried to rein in high-risk guarantee transactions during the boom period, is now being closely watched by the market: Will the "Nvidia Bank" without Jensen Huang continue operating as usual, or quietly shift to a stock maintenance mode?

Beating AI Express News: Microsoft has officially confirmed that the global service outage lasting over 24 hours has been fully restored. Per the latest announcement, affected products including Microsoft 365 (enterprise and consumer editions), Outlook, Teams, and Copilot have all returned to normal operation. The service status page now shows "All products are operational" and email backlogs have been cleared. The outage began on November 12, impacting more than 70 countries and regions worldwide. Microsoft stated it has fixed the root cause and restored services to remaining affected customers and regions. The tech giant apologized earlier, noting the outage stemmed from a technical issue introduced during an earlier network capacity upgrade (exposed after subsequent network changes), and was unrelated to cyberattacks or AI. It also pledged to release a full post-incident report later.
