The U.S. fiscal situation will keep demanding more capital, causing 30-year Treasury yields to stay elevated or rise further.

Europe set to outperform on broadening earnings.
European equities are set to outperform: Q2 earnings season shows broadening across sectors for the first time since 2022, with 15% YoY earnings growth. Fiscal stimulus in Europe and the diminishing risk of ECB rate hikes (aided by a potential Hormuz deal) create a constructive macro backdrop. Earnings revisions are near all-time highs, with 80% of sectors being upgraded.
