８月３日（水）午前８時３０分（米国東部時間）に公表される消費者物価指数（CPI）速報に先駆け、主要指数先物は神経質な値動きを示している。債券利回りは消費者物価指数発表前に低下している。今回の報告が価格圧力の緩和が続いていることを確認した場合、米連邦準備制度理事会（FRB）は利上げを余儀なくされる可能性がある。経済学者やストラテジストは、FRB総裁のジェローム・パウエル氏が今月末に予定されている＜ジャクソンホール・シンポジウム＞で、利上げ見通しについてさらに明確な見解を示すと予想している。

Cisco Systems Unusual Options Activity

Oracle Cloud&nbsp;is suspected to have suffered a significant cyberattack, leading to the theft of 6 million records. These records are reportedly being sold by a hacker. Oracle, however, has firmly denied any such breach.
What Happened:&nbsp;A hacker going by the pseudonym "rose87168" is purportedly selling 6 million records stolen from Oracle&#8217;s systems. This claim was initially brought to light by a cybersecurity firm,&nbsp;CloudSEK, based out of India&#8217;s Bengaluru. The firm also called it the &#8216;Biggest supply chain attack of 2025&#8217;
Oracle has staunchly refuted these allegations, and <a href="https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/oracle-denies-data-breach-after-hacker-claims-theft-of-6-million-data-records/">told</a> the Bleeping Computer that none of its Cloud customers have been affected and that the leaked credentials do not pertain to Oracle Cloud.
Despite Oracle&#8217;s denial, cybersecurity experts advise businesses using Oracle services to implement preventive measures to safeguard their sensitive data. As per CloudSEK&#8217;s report, this could potentially be the largest supply chain hack of 2025, targeting Oracle Cloud and&nbsp;impacting more than 140,000 tenants across&nbsp;various sectors and regions. 
The breach was reportedly linked to the login endpoint login.(region-name).oraclecloud.com, exposing a dataset that included Java KeyStore (JKS) files, encrypted SSO passwords, key files, and Enterprise Manager JPS keys.
Since January 2025, the hacker has been selling sensitive data, attempting to decrypt stolen credentials, and extorting companies for data deletion fees. As perCloudSEK, the hacker also created an X page to broaden their reach by following Oracle-related accounts and tracking their targets.
SEE ALSO: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/03/44452531/nvidia-chip-flows-under-scrutiny-as-malaysia-moves-to-tighten-regulations-amid-us-export-controls-on-china">Nvidia Chip Flows Under Scrutiny As Malaysia Moves To Tighten Regulations Amid US Export Controls On China</a>
Why It Matters: The reported exposure of 6 million records presents major risks for organizations, including large-scale data breaches, corporate espionage and unauthorized access. Decrypted SSO and LDAP passwords could allow attackers to infiltrate Oracle Cloud environments and exploit supply chain vulnerabilities by targeting interconnected systems.
Businesses face high stakes as the hacker "rose87168" pressures over 140,000 tenants with extortion demands, using an X page to amplify threats and target Oracle-related accounts. This incident follows a trend of<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43692893/chinese-hacker-group-salt-typhoon-expands-global-telecom-exploits-targets-cisco-routers"> increased cyberattacks</a>, such as the exploits by the Chinese hacker group, Salt Typhoon on Cisco (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CSCO#NASDAQ">CSCO</a>).

10 Information Technology Stocks With Whale Alerts In Today's Session

NVIDIA Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) CEO Jensen Huang and Cisco Systems Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CSCO#NASDAQ">CSCO</a>) CEO Chuck Robbins described unprecedented global enthusiasm for artificial intelligence development, with national leaders recognizing AI as a strategic priority.
What Happened: &#8220;In no initiative and no foundational technology that I&#8217;ve ever known since the internet has the world and the leaders realized the importance of artificial intelligence to them,&#8221; Huang said, in an <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/03/20/nvidia-ceo-and-cisco-ceo-discuss-the-global-outlook-on-the-ai-arms-race.html">interview</a> with CNBC. 
Robbins expressed confidence in the President Donald Trump administration&#8217;s commitment to maintaining American AI dominance despite concerns about potential tariff impacts on semiconductor imports. 
&#8220;Based on the conversations I&#8217;ve had with the administration&#8230;they want to protect that lead, and they want us to win,&#8221; Robbins said. &#8220;I believe that their policies that they&#8217;re going to implement will ensure that happens.&#8221;
The comments come amid intensifying U.S.-China competition in AI development. The Trump administration recently backed &#8220;Stargate,&#8221; a $500 billion private-sector initiative involving OpenAI, SoftBank, and Oracle Corp. to build massive data centers in Texas, while simultaneously facing competition from Chinese firms like DeepSeek that are making technological advances despite U.S. export <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/startups/25/02/43420092/as-easy-as-it-can-be-trump-promises-ai-giants-support-with-500b-investment-plan-how-does-it-compare-with-deepseek">controls on advanced semiconductors</a>.

Why It Matters: The administration is also reviewing AI regulatory approaches following <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/markets/25/03/44300525/sam-altmans-openai-urges-trump-administration-for-rapid-ai-advancement-and-reduced-regulation">proposals from companies like OpenAI</a>, which has urged reduced regulation and highlighted potential threats from Chinese AI technology. High-level meetings between tech executives and Trump have included Michael Dell of Dell Technologies Inc., which projects its <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/25/03/44269039/michael-dell-joins-trump-elon-musk-for-high-stakes-ai-talks-as-dell-eyes-15-billion-in-server-business">AI server business</a> to reach $15 billion in fiscal year 2026.
Cisco and Nvidia announced a partnership to deliver AI technology to enterprises with new infrastructure. According to Huang, AI has &#8220;reinvented the entire computing stack&#8221; and requires a complete overhaul of enterprise systems. &#8220;We need to go and rerack the whole world&#8217;s companies,&#8221; Huang said.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, Cisco's Chuck Robbins Tout AI's Global Impact: Trump 'Want Us To Win'

The future of telecommunications is now and investors are paying attention. With NVIDIA&#8217;s recent foray into AI-native 6G networks, the world is changing fast and there are huge opportunities for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs">telecom, AI, and semiconductor ETFs</a>.
Defiance ETFs CEO Sylvia Jablonski thinks this revolution is only just starting. &#8220;Telecom companies that want to stay competitive will need to invest in AI-powered networks, partner with AI tech leaders and upgrade to cutting-edge semiconductor technology. That's exactly why we built the Defiance Connective Technologies ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SIXG#NASDAQ">SIXG</a>) to capture this AI-driven telecom revolution,&#8221; she told Benzinga.
Nvidia Corp.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) new <a href="https://nvidianews.nvidia.com/news/nvidia-and-telecom-industry-leaders-to-develop-ai-native-wireless-networks-for-6g">deals </a>with T-Mobile Us Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TMUS#NASDAQ">TMUS</a>), MITRE, Cisco Systems Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CSCO#NASDAQ">CSCO</a>), ODC, and Booz Allen Hamilton Holding Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BAH#NYSE">BAH</a>) that were announced in the GTC 2025 are a significant step forward in AI-powered telecommunications. Nvidia is taking the lead in the deployment of AI in wireless network hardware, software and infrastructure, paving the way for new-gen connectivity.
For investors, this transition offers attractive opportunities. The need for AI-driven networking chips, cloud computing infrastructure, telecom software and cybersecurity is likely going to boom.

<h1 class="wp-block-heading">ETFs That Stand To Gain</h1>
Jablonski points out that ETFs such as Defiance Connective Technologies provide exposure to these leaders, enabling investors to be part of the revolution in telecom networks.
Outside of that ETF, a number of other ETFs stand to gain from Nvidia&#8217;s and the telecom sector&#8217;s AI-led transformation:
• Global X Artificial Intelligence &amp; Technology ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AIQ#NASDAQ">AIQ</a>) targets AI-led innovation across sectors, such as cloud computing and telecommunications. 
• VanEck Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMH#NASDAQ">SMH</a>) contains top semiconductor players such as Nvidia, Broadcom and Qualcomm that form the backbone of AI-driven networking. 
• iShares U.S. Telecommunications ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IYZ#BATS">IYZ</a>) offers exposure to large telecom companies such as Verizon Communications Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VZ#NYSE">VZ</a>) and T-Mobile. 
• ARK Autonomous Technology &amp; Robotics ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKQ#BATS">ARKQ</a>) contains firms utilizing AI-based connectivity for automation and future mobility. 
• First Trust Nasdaq Cybersecurity ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CIBR#NASDAQ">CIBR</a>) also covers cybersecurity companies such as Palo Alto Networks Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PANW#NASDAQ">PANW</a>) and CrowdStrike Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRWD#NASDAQ">CRWD</a>), which will be instrumental in protecting <a href="https://www.crowdstrike.com/platform/">AI-native</a> 6G <a href="https://www.paloaltonetworks.com/blog/2024/11/a-security-first-approach-to-6g/#:~:text=Next%20Steps,development%20and%20deployment%20of%206G.">networks</a>.
The actual impact of AI-enabled 6G is much greater than the telecommunications sector. From health and finance to manufacturing and self-driving cars, AI-enhanced networks will bring efficiency, security and performance to many different industries. 
Jablonski noted, &#8220;AI-integrated telecom networks will boost productivity and connectivity across several industries: healthcare – enabling remote surgeries, real-time diagnostics and telemedicine; finance, strengthening cybersecurity for transactions and real-time market analysis; manufacturing, enhancing automation and predictive maintenance and autonomous vehicles, powering AI-native Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) communication.&#8221;
The financial benefit won&#8217;t directly touch consumers&#8217; wallets. &#8220;In the short term, telecom companies will likely use AI-driven efficiency to increase their profits as they recover infrastructure investment costs. Over time, as AI optimizes network operations, consumers could see more competitive pricing and improved services — similar to how cloud services have evolved.&#8221; 
In the long run, with AI optimizing network operations, customers may experience more competitive rates and better services.
But, AI-driven networks may create a divide between telecom and tech giants. &#8220;Companies like AWS, Google Cloud and Microsoft Azure are expanding into telecom with AI-driven cloud services. Traditional telecom providers that fail to adapt may struggle to compete with these tech-driven companies,&#8221; she noted.
Nvidia&#8217;s AI-native 6G project is a game-changer and the investment environment is changing rapidly. With partnerships that range from telecom behemoths to cloud and cybersecurity companies, the argument for ETFs such as Defiance Connective Technologies ETF and Defiance Quantum ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QTUM#NASDAQ">QTUM</a>) has never been more compelling. As AI-powered networks redefine connectivity, investors can seize the opportunity to ride the future of telecommunications technology.

U.S. President Donald Trump is set to meet with the CEOs of America&#8217;s largest corporations on Tuesday, amid growing economic concerns and a recent slump in stock values.
What Happened: Trump&#8217;s meeting with around 100 CEOs is part of a regular gathering of the Business Roundtable in Washington. This influential group includes leaders from major U.S. companies such as Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>), JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>), and Walmart Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WMT#NYSE">WMT</a>). BlackRock, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BLK#NYSE">BLK</a>) CEO Larry Fink and Goldman Sachs Group Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GS#NYSE">GS</a>) CEO David Solomon are also likely to be part of the Business Roundtable as per Reuters.
Chuck Robbins, the CEO of Cisco (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CSCO#NASDAQ">CSCO</a>), is the Chair of the Business Roundtable.
Despite prevailing market concerns over Trump&#8217;s policies, the White House remains optimistic. White House spokesman Kush Desai told Reuters, &#8220;Industry leaders have responded to President Trump&#8217;s America First economic agenda of tariffs, deregulation, and the unleashing of American energy with trillions in investment commitments that will create thousands of new jobs.&#8221;
Earlier in March, Business Roundtable CEO Joshua Bolten extended support to Trump&#8217;s agenda, like creating more American jobs or increasing investment in domestic businesses and manufacturing. However, Bolten urged Congress to find a common ground for agreement on tax reforms, significant regulatory reforms, and the removal of the recent tariffs.  &#8220;These tariffs, especially if they are long-lasting, run the risk of creating serious economic impact,&#8221; stated Bolten.

Why It Matters: The meeting comes at a time when the market is experiencing turbulence, largely due to fears of inflation and economic downturn. U.S. stocks experienced a significant drop on Monday, with the S&amp;P 500 down nearly 3% since Trump&#8217;s election and 4.5% down for the year. 
Tom Lee, the research head of Fundstrat Global Advisors, has labeled the recent stock-market plunge <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44244329/tom-lee-predicts-market-stabilization-following-mondays-overreaction-foresees-may-rate-cut">as an overreaction</a>, predicting market stabilization and a potential rate cut in May. Lee highlighted Tuesday&#8217;s Business Roundtable as one of the events that could lead to market stabilization and allay investor concerns.
However, the overall sentiment remains cautious, with investors closely watching the outcome of the meeting and the future direction of Trump&#8217;s economic policies.&nbsp;

What the Options Market Tells Us About Cisco Systems

Tariffs, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/federal-reserve">federal spending cuts</a> and CoWoS (Chip-on-Wafer-on-Substrate) slowdowns are shaking up the hardware and networking sector. JPMorgan analyst Samik Chatterjee weighs in on which stocks are best equipped to weather the storm.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Tariffs: Who's Feeling The Heat?</h2>
Companies loaded with software-driven hardware are dodging the worst of the tariff blow, while commoditized IT hardware players are absorbing rising costs. Networking leaders like Cisco Systems Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CSCO#NASDAQ">CSCO</a>) and Arista Networks Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ANET#NYSE">ANET</a>) have an edge, given their ability to pass costs down the chain.

Meanwhile, PC and server makers face tighter margins, with limited room to hike prices without losing customers.
Cisco's CFO has already factored in the tariff impact, while Arista's team says they've been planning for China risks ahead of time. The wildcard? 
Storage and networking equipment appear largely insulated, but competitive server pricing could make cost pass-throughs a challenge.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Federal Spending Cuts: Who's At Risk?</h2>
A slowdown in government IT budgets might hit device makers harder than infrastructure players. Cisco, with more than 5% of revenue tied to federal spending, could see near-term pressure, but JPMorgan suggests long-term benefits from federal tech modernization. 
Channel partners like CDW (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CDW#NASDAQ">CDW</a>) also have notable exposure but are downplaying risks for now.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">CoWoS Cuts: Nvidia's Supply Chain Feels The Squeeze</h2>
Recent CoWoS order cuts by Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) and Amazon.com Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) are reshuffling supplier valuations. The biggest impact? 
Nvidia-linked players like Fabrinet (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FN#NYSE">FN</a>), Amphenol Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/APH#NYSE">APH</a>) and Coherent Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COHR#NYSE">COHR</a>) could face multiple compression, even if revenue estimates remain intact.
Cisco and Arista look relatively shielded from tariff pain, Nvidia's supply chain faces valuation headwinds and federal spending concerns might be a short-term roadblock for key players.
With hardware margins under pressure, JPMorgan's take is clear: software-rich and infrastructure-driven companies have the best shot at staying ahead.

Looking At Cisco Systems's Recent Unusual Options Activity

Cybersecurity-focused ETFs are back in the spotlight following a <a href="https://therecord.media/hegseth-orders-cyber-command-stand-down-russia-planning">report </a>by The Record that U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth ordered a halt to offensive cyber and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/russia">information operations against Russia</a>. 
The Pentagon <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-03-04/pentagon-denies-report-of-halt-in-cyber-operations-versus-russia">denied</a> these claims. Still, the news has reignited interest in cybersecurity investments. As cyber threats escalate, organizations worldwide are ramping up efforts to protect their digital assets, making cybersecurity companies and ETFs holding them, attractive investment opportunities.
For investors looking to gain diversified exposure to the cybersecurity sector without the hassle of studying and choosing individual stocks, here are three <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs">noteworthy cybersecurity ETFs</a>:
<ul>
<li>Global X Cybersecurity ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BUG#NASDAQ">BUG</a>): This ETF provides investors access to a portfolio of 22 cybersecurity companies. It includes leading firms like Palo Alto Networks (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PANW#NASDAQ">PANW</a>), Zscaler (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ZS#NASDAQ">ZS</a>), Fortinet (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FTT#NASDAQ">FTT</a>), and CrowdStrike (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRWD#NASDAQ">CRWD</a>). While the ETF primarily focuses on U.S.-based companies, it also includes firms from Israel, Japan, and South Korea. It has an expense ratio of 0.5%, which is relatively standard for sector-specific ETFs.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>First Trust Nasdaq Cybersecurity ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CIBR#NASDAQ">CIBR</a>): This fund tracks the Nasdaq CTA Cybersecurity Index and includes companies actively involved in cybersecurity operations. CrowdStrike is one of its major holdings, along with other key players such as Check Point Software (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CHKP#NASDAQ">CHKP</a>), Fortinet, and Palo Alto. CIBR has over $8 billion in assets under management and an expense ratio of 0.6%.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>ETFMG Prime Cyber Security ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HACK#NYSE">HACK</a>): The <a href="https://amplifyetfs.com/hack/#:~:text=Launched%20in%202014%2C%20HACK%20is,within%20the%20growing%20cybersecurity%20industry.">first </a>ETF focused on cybersecurity and remains one of the most popular choices among investors. It provides exposure to a mix of established cybersecurity companies and emerging players. Its holdings include CrowdStrike, Palo Alto Networks, and Cisco (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CSCO#NASDAQ">CSCO</a>), among others.</li>
</ul>
HACK follows a tiered, equal-weighted approach, ensuring that no single company dominates the portfolio. This diversification helps mitigate risk while still capturing growth potential in the cybersecurity industry. The fund has an expense ratio of 0.6% and has consistently performed well as cyber threats continue to increase globally.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Growing Importance Of Cybersecurity</h2>
The increasing reliance on digital infrastructure across industries has made businesses, governments, and individuals more vulnerable to cyberattacks. High-profile breaches targeting financial institutions, healthcare providers, and government agencies have demonstrated the critical need for robust cybersecurity measures.
Companies are now investing heavily in AI-driven security solutions, zero-trust architectures, and threat intelligence platforms to stay ahead of evolving threats. As a result, cybersecurity firms are experiencing strong revenue growth, making them attractive investment opportunities.
According to a Bloomberg Intelligence research report, the total cybersecurity market will likely hit $338 billion by 2033. That&#8217;s up from about $152.5 billion in 2023.
Cybersecurity has become one of the fastest-growing sectors in the market. High-profile cyberattacks in recent years have led to massive data breaches, infrastructure failures, and financial losses amounting to billions of dollars. 
According to a research report by CrowdStrike:
<ul>
<li>China-linked cyber activity rising by 150% across all sectors in 2024. </li>
<li>Vishing attacks experienced an explosive 442% increase between the first and second half of the year.</li>
<li>The fastest recorded eCrime breakout time was just 51 seconds, emphasizing the speed at which cybercriminals can compromise systems.</li>
<li>79% of detected cyber incidents were malware-free, indicating a shift toward advanced attack techniques. </li>
<li>26 newly named adversaries emerged</li>
<li>52% of vulnerabilities identified were linked to initial access methods, underscoring the ongoing challenge of securing entry points against persistent cyber threats.</li>
</ul>
As cyber threats continue to evolve, businesses and governments are prioritizing investments in cybersecurity to safeguard their networks and data. This growing demand positions cybersecurity ETFs and companies for sustained long-term growth.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Renewed Interest Fueled By Stalled Cyber Operations</h2>
Hegseth&#8217;s move was reportedly aimed at fostering diplomatic talks between the U.S. and Russia regarding Ukraine. 
U.S. cyber operations against Russia have historically included disrupting ransomware groups, countering disinformation campaigns, and targeting networks used by Russian intelligence agencies. These operations have played a critical role in reducing cyber threats that could impact American infrastructure, financial institutions, and national security. A halt or pause in such actions could enable Russian state-backed hackers and cybercriminal groups to escalate their activities against U.S. and European targets.
According to a New York Times <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/03/02/us/politics/hegseth-cyber-russia-trump-putin.html">report</a>, former intelligence officials have noted that pauses in military and cyber operations during sensitive diplomatic negotiations are not uncommon, as they can prevent tensions from escalating further. 
Critics argue that scaling back offensive cyber capabilities, even temporarily, risks weakening U.S. deterrence and response mechanisms. 
Regardless of the conflicting narratives, cybersecurity remains a critical national security and business priority. The alleged pause in U.S. cyber operations against Russia has raised concerns about potential vulnerabilities, further underscoring the need for robust cybersecurity solutions.

Blackwell's meteoric rise makes it Nvidia's fastest-ramping product ever, with hyperscalers like Microsoft Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>), Alphabet Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>), Amazon.com Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) and Oracle Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ORCL#NYSE">ORCL</a>) driving adoption.
On top of that, Nvidia is already looking ahead to Blackwell Ultra, expected in the second half of the year, said Chatterjee. With AI model inferencing demand accelerating, particularly for OpenAI's GPT-4o, DeepSeek-R1, and Grok 3, the need for more compute is only growing.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Networking Stumbles, But Recovery Is In Sight</h2>
Not everything was flawless &#8211; networking revenue dropped 9% as Nvidia transitions from NVLink 8 with InfiniBand to NVLink 72 with Spectrum-X, noted Chatterjee. However, the company expects networking to return to sequential growth next quarter, thanks to deployments at major AI factories. 
According to Chatterjee, Microsoft, Oracle, and CoreWeave are among those fueling Spectrum-X adoption, while Nvidia's recent Cisco partnership could help expand its enterprise reach.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Pressure Mounts On Arista &amp; Cisco</h2>
With Nvidia increasingly controlling the AI stack, Arista and Cisco must fight to maintain market share. AI networking demand is surging, but Chatterjee notes that Nvidia's Spectrum-X is winning customers. 
The next few quarters could be make-or-break for traditional networking giants.

CNBC Halftime Report Final Trades: Fiserv, Cisco Systems, Interactive Brokers Group, iShares Expanded Tech-Software Sector ETF

On Tuesday, Cisco Systems, Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CSCO#NASDAQ">CSCO</a>) announced plans for an expanded partnership with Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) to provide <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/02/n43938001/cisco-expands-partnership-with-nvidia-to-accelerate-ai-adoption-in-the-enterprise" rel="noreferrer noopener">AI technology solutions to enterprises</a>.
Cisco will develop data center switches with the Nvidia Spectrum Ethernet platform.
Cisco will collaborate with Nvidia to create and validate&nbsp;Nvidia Cloud Partner (NCP)&nbsp;and&nbsp;Enterprise Reference Architectures&nbsp;based on Nvidia Spectrum-X&nbsp;with Cisco Silicon One, Hyperfabric, Nexus, UCS Compute, Optics, and other Cisco technologies.

The expanded partnership aims to give organizations flexibility and choice as they look to meet the demand of AI workloads within and between data centers, clouds, and users.
The&nbsp;Nvidia&nbsp;Spectrum-X&nbsp;Ethernet&nbsp;networking&nbsp;platform&nbsp;based on Cisco and Nvidia silicon will form the foundation for many enterprise AI workloads. By enabling interoperability between both companies&#8217; networking architectures, the two companies are prioritizing customers&#8217; needs for simplified, full-stack solutions.
The expanded partnership allows customers to optimize their AI infrastructure investments with a typical architecture, using their existing management tools and processes, spanning front and back-end networks.
By making it easier to integrate and standardize on both Cisco and Nvidia technology, customers will benefit from current and future technology advancements in the Nvidia Spectrum-X platform, such as adaptive routing, telemetry, congestion control, and low latency, as well as Cisco&#8217;s broader networking, security, and digital resilience portfolio, including the Splunk data platform.
As businesses develop AI capabilities and train data models, a comprehensive security strategy becomes crucial.
Also, Cisco <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/02/n43937810/cisco-achieves-milestone-fedramp-authorization-for-meraki-cloud-networking-platform" rel="noreferrer noopener">announced that it</a> had won Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) authorization at the Moderate Impact Level for its&nbsp;Cisco Meraki for Government solution under the U.S. Department of Homeland Security&#8217;s Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) sponsorship.
FedRAMP is a U.S. government program that promotes the adoption of cloud technologies across the federal government by providing a standardized approach to validating security and risk controls for cloud-based products and services.
Cisco Systems stock surged 31% in the last 12 months. Analysts, including JP Morgan, Piper Sandler, BofA Securities, and Goldman Sachs, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43708265/ciscos-ai-expansion-and-cloud-growth-drive-analyst-upgrades-and-price-hikes-citing-growth-like-extreme-juniper" rel="noreferrer noopener">raised Cisco&#8217;s price targets</a> after the second-quarter results, citing AI-driven growth, strong cloud and security orders, and increasing subscription revenue.
Price Action: CSCO stock is up 1.64% at $64.28 at the last check on Tuesday.

Cyber Startup Secures 7 Million Networks, 500 Million Connected Devices – SAM Seamless Network Protects Customers Of Verizon, Virgin Media, Orange And Bezeq

８月３日（水）午前８時３０分（米国東部時間）に公表される消費者物価指数（CPI）速報に先駆け、主要指数先物は神経質な値動きを示している。債券利回りは消費者物価指数発表前に低下している。今回の報告が価格圧力の緩和が続いていることを確認した場合、米連邦準備制度理事会（FRB）は利上げを余儀なくされる可能性がある。経済学者やストラテジストは、FRB総裁のジェローム・パウエル氏が今月末に予定されている＜ジャクソンホール・シンポジウム＞で、利上げ見通しについてさらに明確な見解を示すと予想している。
ただしアトランタ連邦準備制度（FRB）総裁のラファエル・ボスティック氏は、現在の金利が過去２２年間で最も高い水準であるとして、FRBは金利を引き下げる前に証拠をもう少し見たいと述べた。
ただ、ホンハイ精密工業（Hon Hai Precision Industry Co. Ltd.）（OTC：<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HNHPF#OTC">HNHPF</a>）が強いAIサーバーの需要について述べたコメントは、Nvidia Corp.（（NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>）やその他のAIレバレッジ株に支援をもたらすかもしれない。

前場取引の動き
火曜日、予想を上回る形で生産者物価指数（PPI）速報の結果が発表され、リスク選好気配が復活。一時はVIXも18レベルを割り込んだ。全ての主要平均が高く始まり、その後トレード中も上昇し、より高い水準で取引を終えた。テクノロジー銘柄中心のナスダック総合株価指数とS&amp;P500指数は、8月1日以来の最高値で終了。この過程で、S&amp;P500は今年の4日間の中で最大の4日間の上昇を記録した。
テクニカルアナリストでCNBCの寄稿者でもあるFrank Cappelleri氏は、S&amp;P500が６回のセッションで4.8％上昇したことについて言及し、「これは、2023年10月30日から2023年11月6日までの6％上昇以来の最良の記録となった」と述べた。
