CNBC's Santoli Points to Tech ETF as Bellwether for Bull Market's Next Move
Market analyst Mike Santoli says a shift toward AI consumption stocks over AI infrastructure plays could determine whether the current rally continues.

CNBC senior markets commentator Mike Santoli has identified a key technology exchange-traded fund as a potential signal for whether the ongoing stock market rally can continue, according to a report published on CNBC.
In the report, Santoli noted that market dynamics have shifted in favor of companies focused on artificial intelligence consumption over those seen as "AI construction proxies," a category that has included firms supplying infrastructure such as chips, data centers and related hardware for AI development.
The report did not name the specific ETF Santoli referenced, nor did it provide additional detail on which companies fall into the AI consumption or AI construction categories being compared.
Santoli's comments come amid broader investor attention to how artificial intelligence-related stocks are performing relative to the rest of the market, as AI has been a significant driver of equity gains in recent periods.
CNBC has not provided further specifics beyond the excerpt regarding the fund's historical performance or the precise metrics Santoli is using to gauge the bull market's durability.
Further details on Santoli's full analysis were not available in the source material reviewed for this report.
