The US market is more dependent on AI continuing to surprise to the upside due to richer valuations and concentrated exposure. Global semiconductor ecosystem enables AI buildout, spanning chip foundries, memory-chip makers, and equipment manufacturers. International markets are more heavily tilted toward this manufacturing and infrastructure provider segment.
