Avoid Chasing High-Beta Hardware Immediately: Let high-multiple hardware names stabilize until bond yields peak and front-end rate hike odds settle.

2. Stay Anchor-Weighted in Compounders: Retain core holdings in cash-rich mega-caps to absorb interest rate volatility.

Hawks Strike, AI Hardware Slammed — Yet Mega-Caps Rally: A Duration Story?
Friday mapped the hawkish transmission. Long-duration AI hardware took it: Marvell −10.28%, confirming its −8.02% after hours; SOXL −9.52%; Nvidia −4.57%, giving back half of Thursday's 8.74%; Intel −2.85%. Cash-rich mega-caps went the other way — Apple +1.63%, Microsoft +1.68%, Alphabet +1.53%, Meta +1.21% — because higher rate expectations hit the most distant earnings first. Memory barely moved: Micron −0.27%, SanDisk flat, SK Hynix −0.35%, priced off contract rates rather than policy rates. Buy the hardware dip, stay with the compounders, or cut exposure?

    Front-end hike odds hit the discount rate first, so high-beta hardware usually derates before the fundamentals even move. The cash-rich mega-cap bucket still looks like the cleaner ballast here
