Recent weakness in the market shouldn't deter investors from finding pockets of opportunity, particularly in artificial intelligence-related companies, according to BlackRock's Kate Moore. The Dow Jones Industrial Average and S & P 500 fell for a second week last week. "I think healthy consolidation after an extremely strong return in the first quarter is completely fair, and doesn't change the fundamentals," Moore said in an interview. Moore sees an opportunity in two of BlackRock's highest-conviction themes: AI-adjacent software and semiconductor companies, and global commodity producers and miners, particularly those related to copper. She expects better breadth in terms of earnings growth this quarter, which should support long-term investor confidence in the equity market.

Shares of Advanced Micro Devices and Intel dipped on Friday after The Wall Street Journal reported that China is ordering the country's largest telecommunications carriers to cease use of foreign chips. Chinese officials issued the directive earlier this year for the telecom systems to replace non-Chinese core processors by 2027, the Journal reported, citing people familiar with the matter. The report said the mandate would impact AMD and Intel. China set new guidelines in December to remove U.S. chips from government computers and servers, blocking processors from AMD and Intel, the Financial Times reported last month. Intel has reportedly survived a push by AMD to end its sale of hundreds of millions of dollars' worth of laptop chips to the U.S.-sanctioned Chinese telecom company Huawei.
