AI is minting billionaires and burning cash at historic scale. Chip stocks are swinging wildly. Big Tech is borrowing like never before. And oil, gold, and the yen are sending mixed signals. In this episode of Market Focus Weekly, BNY Investments' Aninda Mitra cuts through the noise — separating AI signal from hype, exposing the risks retail investors are missing, and revealing why a global oil glut may be closer than you think.

Highlights:

01:23 Hidden risk in AI valuation

06:04 Big tech’s liquidity crunch

08:35 Why oil still matters

11:26 Gold’s big disappointment
