Welcome to the Wall Street Truth Bombs Weekly Wrap with Mark Malek. This week’s markets were pulled in two directions: manufacturing unexpectedly jumped into expansion, while jobs data softened—and investors kept punishing Big Tech for massive AI CapEx.

We break down:
ISM Manufacturing surprise + New Orders surge (cyclical rotation signal or January head fake?)
ADP private payrolls miss and what it could mean for the next jobs report
Jobless claims trend: storm excuse or real labor market cooling?
Michigan sentiment improvement driven by falling inflation expectations (relief vs optimism)
Stocks in focus: Palantir, Amazon, Salesforce, Alphabet, Nvidia, Broadcom
The week’s key theme: “Revenue beats don’t matter—CapEx discipline does.”
