Nvidia chief executive Jensen Huang blasts AI bubble calls as NVDA’s valuation soars to a historic high. In a new Bloomberg interview, Huang dismisses bubble talks in the industry, arguing that today’s AI boom reflects real adoption, real monetization and a structural shift in computing — not speculative excess. He says AI is far from the hype-based narrative, as the technology is already delivering measurable productivity and commercial value inside the enterprise. “I don’t believe we’re in a bubble.

Chair Jerome Powell says Wall Street’s AI boom bears little resemblance to the dot-com era, as the Federal Reserve prepares to end its balance-sheet runoff in the next few weeks. In a statement, the Federal Reserve says it will end quantitative tightening (QT) on December 1st, a move that could drive risk assets like stocks and crypto to greater heights. “The Committee decided to conclude the reduction of its aggregate securities holdings on December 1.” Ending QT means the Fed will stop shrinking its balance sheet by letting Treasuries and mortgages roll off. It signals the liquidity drain is nearing…

They’ll buy a generation of chips, and…
