Read MoreArtificial intelligence (AI) has an insatiable appetite for memory bandwidth. That is the capacity to move large amounts of data quickly between memory chips and the processor.

The reality is nobody wants a war. So, this ceasefire is a win for civilians, the markets and the global economy. And now, stocks will begin to rally again.
