Идеи
AI capex boom lifts Nvidia, chips
Nvidia's earnings underscore that the AI build-out remains intact and that the market is still in an AI CapEx inflation stage. That is good for chip names and the overall AI theme. Nvidia is described as the 'bank of AI'—core to the ecosystem, generating and funding AI investment—so solid numbers reassure markets.
AI capex boom lifts Nvidia, chips
Despite an initially disappointed reaction, Nvidia subsequently traded positively. Earlier in the week the view was that Nvidia's pricing meant this earnings cycle would be the opposite of prior years: earnings would be fine, and the market would trade well on AI reassurance, even though this expected positive outcome limits fresh impetus.
Warsh won't guide; expect market disappointment
Kevin Warsh is unlikely to guide markets at Jackson Hole: he will probably not talk about the level of rates, give monetary policy guidance, or clarify the reaction function. His ethos is to avoid central-bank communication surprises, so the event should be a damp squib. But a sizable minority expects a lot, so even a no-guidance outcome leaves a segment of the market disappointed and sets up a reaction.
Ags surging; inflation problem worsens
Agricultural commodities are surging again, reinforcing an established inflation problem. He has never believed the disinflation theme and expects inflation to worsen in coming months; the food-price dynamic is especially problematic for some emerging markets.
