Apple rallied 2% to $293.32, just $1.44 from its all-time high. The 2026 chip war narrative — with Apple dominating custom silicon — fueled the bid.

Apple's vertical integration moat is finally being priced as an AI advantage. On-device AI processing via Apple Silicon gives it a unique privacy-first positioning.

ATH at $294.76 is one strong session away. WWDC in June with new AI features is the next major catalyst. Break above $295 targets $300.

Alphabet rose 0.7% to $400.80, within $1.20 of its all-time high. Analysts flagged it as the best-positioned mega-cap for AI monetization.

GOOGL is the stealth AI winner. Search + Cloud + Waymo gives it the broadest AI moat. The stock has quietly tripled from its 52-week low.

ATH at $402 is the immediate test. Clean break with volume targets $410-$420. Google I/O later this month is the next narrative event.
