Connection thesis

MSFT (+1.11%), NVDA (+0.94%), AAPL (+0.12%), QQQ (+0.12%), SPY (+0.09%) show a defensive rotation within tech: semiconductor/cloud infrastructure (MSFT, NVDA) are supporting while consumer/ad-dependent mega-caps (META, GOOGL, AMZN) underperform. This is NOT a broad risk-off; it's earnings-quality filtering. Large-cap tech earnings (approaching mid-April per [50762-50760]) are creating winners/losers based on guidance confidence. MSFT and NVDA benefit from AI capex lock-in; others face margin pressure.
