Long bond yields headed higher
Long-term bond yields are likely to move higher in the near term because AI capex spending is boosting both inflation and growth, and unless the Fed signals a preemptive pivot, the direction of travel for yields at the long end is up.

KOSPI attractive; NVIDIA may boost Asia.
David Savage says the semiconductor complex is searching for a catalyst and Nvidia earnings could be more positive for Asia, while attractive valuations in KOSPI could still attract investors even before a broader hyperscaler rotation.

Weaker yen supports Toyota, Honda, Sony
If dollar-yen continues to grind higher without follow-on intervention or a hawkish BOJ tilt, the weaker yen will be supportive of Japanese export-heavy names like Toyota, Honda and Sony, which already have supportive earnings numbers.

Avoid Korean equities after retail blow-up.
Korean equities face further downside risk after the historic retail deleveraging on Friday. Realized volatility around 100 will deter institutional re-entry, and with the momentum trade fragile and the DeepSeek news adding uncertainty, a sustainable bounce is unlikely absent a strong new catalyst.

Health care and defensives keep outperforming
Defensive positioning and health care stocks outperformed last week and that trend is likely to continue as the momentum trade comes under pressure, driven by higher oil and a stronger dollar weighing on risk assets.

Health care and defensives keep outperforming
A healthy rotation is underway from overconcentrated Mag7/tech into broader market sectors. Long-duration growth and technology will come under pressure as inflation risks rise and interest rates move higher, while financials, industrials, health care, and small caps benefit from broader participation.

U.S. dollar positive due to insulation and haven bid.
The U.S. dollar is set for a positive environment because the U.S. economy is more insulated from the Iran war impacts compared to Asia and Europe, and there could be a haven bid if tensions escalate further, outweighing domestic inflation and growth challenges.
