Oil faces glut and weak demand.
Venezuela's planned 50 million barrels are only 30-50 days of production and less than 1% of global supply; the oil market is awash with crude, China can source elsewhere, and US oil majors are unlikely to rush into high-cost Venezuelan projects amid low prices and geopolitical risk, keeping oil under pressure.
TDK bets on smart glasses, batteries.
TDK is transforming into a B2B component supplier with an Eyesight solution for smart glasses, silicon anode batteries with higher energy density (Gen 3 50% higher, Gen 4 next fiscal term), and growing demand across China, the US and Europe; the ecosystem is expected to grow despite tariffs.
Hesai's Nvidia partnership expands global lidar market.
Hesai's partnership with Nvidia's Hyperion platform gives OEMs a proven, low-risk autonomous driving solution, expanding its addressable market from China's 25-28 million cars to the global 80 million-plus market; its Thailand factory (2027) supports global demand, and its low-cost, high-safety lidar (from $50k to below $200) opens robotics, robotaxi and lawnmower applications with margins eventually bigger than cars.
Siemens gains from Nvidia industrial AI.
Siemens' expanded partnership with Nvidia brings AI into industrial systems, enabling low-latency edge inference and deployment across controllers and industrial PCs, with huge potential for customers to deploy AI on the shop floor.
Nvidia-Siemens partnership boosts industrial AI adoption.
Nvidia's partnership with Siemens accelerates EDA and simulation software and integrates AI into Siemens' industrial operating system; Nvidia's Vera Rubin GPUs are 10x more energy and cost efficient than the prior generation, enabling more complex systems and real-world industrial AI deployment.

Fed cuts drive Asia allocation.
With the Fed in a cutting cycle and US inflation moving toward 2%, potential 2-3 rate cuts could drive allocation from US exposures into Asia; strong Asian ETF flows and China/Korea leadership support Asian equities.

China AI investment supports equities.
China's technology-heavy indices underperformed last year even as dividend stocks rallied, but AI-related investment is now materializing in China; this could broaden the market similarly to the US, making China equities a positive opportunity this year.

Short-duration credit attractive in mid-cycle.
In the current mid-cycle, short-duration fixed income (less than five years) is attractive because Fed cuts have more impact on the short end; he prefers credit spread exposure over duration bets, using the intermediate or short-term yield curve to generate alpha.

Samsung benefits from memory price hikes.
Samsung expects 2026 device demand to improve over 2025, with AI driving mobile upgrades; while industry-wide semiconductor supply issues and memory price hikes are affecting all connected devices, Samsung's global scale gives it a better position than peers to navigate the pressure and outpace the market.
AI infrastructure demand creates picks-and-shovels.
AI investment is shifting toward infrastructure and a picks-and-shovels approach; data center construction, cooling systems and physical security are tracked by a newly launched computer infrastructure theme, offering exposure to the physical buildout of AI.
Power grid modernization offers Asian upside.
The grid tech theme includes companies involved in upkeep, maintenance, modernization and upgrade of the power grid; Asian power grid shares have outperformed, rising over 30% in the last year.
Blockchain offers tokenization, industrial uses.
Blockchain has been overshadowed by AI but is the foundation for cryptocurrency trading and tokenization trends, and also has industrial uses in smart contracts, supply chain and logistics.
Strategic tech vital for self-sufficiency.
Amid geopolitical and trade tensions, strategic tech companies critical to national self-sufficiency along supply chains include quantum computing, space technology, and rare earth elements and transition metals; these themes are important investment opportunities.
Copper demand rises from AI cloud.
Copper pricing is rising in the cloud as AI demand grows globally; Hopper consumption and H200 contributions signal strong demand that should support copper and a very good year.
Rubin cooling threatens data center chillers.
Jensen Huang's comments that Nvidia's Rubin platform can cool racks using water at temperatures that do not require a water chiller undermine the data center cooling subtheme; investors should retest cooling-stock exposure.
