The final week of the quarter focuses on three critical events: the technical close on June 30, the rebound in AI semiconductors, and the approach of the July FOMC. Wolfe Research remains bullish on H2.
Wall Street Week Ahead (Seeking Alpha, 28/06/2026) and Wolfe Research maintain a bullish conviction on US stocks for the second half of 2026, driven by semiconductors and AI. The week begins with the quarter-end close on June 30—a crucial technical milestone for indices and Bitcoin—ahead of a decisive FOMC meeting on July 29-30. Semiconductors set the tone: Marvell, Micron, and Coherent rebound in the same week.
Wolfe Research bets on a market re-widening in H2: a rotation from equal-weight (RSP) to cap-weighted (SPY) if AI demand holds, or a continued value rotation if big tech disappoints in Q2. The key unknown remains Warsh’s forward guidance at the FOMC: a dovish signal would trigger a broad rally, while a hawkish tone would compress multiples again. The June 30 quarter-end close will be technical first, macro second. Long-term investors can use the current consolidation to rebalance toward discounted AI semis—without leverage, given Q2 earnings.
Semiconductors (Marvell, Micron, Coherent) and AI infrastructure stocks remain the primary drivers for H2 2026. Wolfe Research highlights the potential for a sector rotation if macro conditions shift post-FOMC.

True, but what if July’s FOMC just sets the stage for a Q4 liquidity surge-founders are already gaming that out.
Rebound in semis feels like a liquidity sugar rush-what happens when the FOMC pulls the punch bowl and capex budgets get scrutinized?
1994 redux-Fed hikes crushed semis then; capex cuts will do it again.
Wolfe’s bullish call on semis ignores capex slowdown in China-who’s actually buying all these chips?
Trimester close window-dressing or not, semis keep defying gravity-until they don’t. What’s the real catalyst holding this rally together beyond FOMC hype?
Who’s buying these semis at ATHs-retail chasing memes or VCs dumping before the Fed pulls the rug?
Wolfe’s bullish on semis? Fine. But tell me-when the Fed’s next hike hits, will these chips still be printing money or just pretty charts? But what do I know?
Quarter-end window-dressing meets FOMC jitters-classic case of algorithms front-running the psychology before the data even lands.
