Ideas
Madison Faller Global Investment Strategist, J.P. Morgan Private Bank 0:20
Leverage-driven Asia pullbacks are buying opportunity
Pullbacks in Asia are driven by leverage participants, not fundamentals, and earnings momentum will remain strong for the next 12 months, providing a buying opportunity.

European earnings good, commodity stocks help
European earnings will probably be pretty good this year, supported by the large weight of commodity stocks in the index, despite the energy crisis and lack of energy independence.
STOXX Europe 600 MED
Jim Zelter Co-President of Apollo Global Management 0:54
Hyperscalers positive as long as capex maintained
This earnings season will be positive for the AI trade as long as hyperscalers do not cut CapEx plans. No cut is expected this earnings season, but if one happens, it would be a massive game changer and the AI trade would be over.

Buy equity dips hard for 2027
If the benign inflation outlook and decent earnings outlook prove correct, investors should aggressively buy dips in equities with a horizon to 2027.
