Ideas
Wait for clear top in Treasuries
Near 5%, US Treasuries look historically reasonable, but market momentum and forced selling mean investors should wait for a clear yield top before buying; 5.1%-5.5% is possible if sentiment remains uncomfortable.
Curve flattener if Fed hikes
If the Fed hikes to restore credibility and the Bank of Japan also acts, front-end yields should reprice higher and there is a reasonably good chance for curve flattening.
Korean memory cheap despite DeepSeek
DeepSeek's memory efficiency is a sentiment overhang, not a fundamental HBM demand reset unless GPU orders or AI capex fall; fund managers see Korean memory chipmakers as cheap with strong earnings and expect the dislocation between fundamentals and share prices to narrow.
China equities have bottomed
China equities have likely bottomed; strong earnings revisions, the end of margin-financing deleveraging, and record ETF inflows support a range-bound-to-optimistic market for the rest of the year, with global AI and policy easing as catalysts.
China tech rallies with AI
China tech is the key market driver and moves with the global AI semiconductor narrative; if the global AI story recovers, China tech can rally, and earnings for China tech are still rising while monetary easing benefits liquidity-sensitive TMT.
China new infrastructure needs more investment
Carbon neutrality and AI development are key five-year-plan priorities requiring more investment; fiscal expansion should support new infrastructure including data centers and energy storage.
Watch China property stabilization
China property demand has stabilized in top cities but lower-tier cities remain a concern; recent policy is mostly supply-side, so investors should watch whether lower-tier stabilization broadens in coming months.
LVMH China sales slump after backlash
Louis Vuitton's China sales fell sharply after a social-media backlash over its trademark lawsuit against Molly Tea; July sales were estimated down about 30%, August down 20-25%, and September maybe down 15%, making LVMH the worst-hit luxury brand in a broader China slowdown.
Cybersecurity is next AI market
AI-driven automation of programming is accelerating code exploitation and the need for fixes, making cybersecurity the next big market for AI; creating the problem creates demand.

Oil stays above 100
Persistent Hormuz closure is locking in oil, tightening the physical market, and China's return to crude buying is raising the risk premium; oil is likely to spend longer above $100 and could return to March highs around $120, with WTI potentially reaching $124.
Equity momentum continues but build resilience
Equity momentum can continue even with yields rising, but at high yield and commodity levels volatility increases, so investors should be tactical and build resilience to avoid large drawdowns.
Gold and real assets build resilience
For a resilient portfolio delivering around 7-8%, he likes a core of real assets and income: gold, private credit, private infrastructure, and inflation protection to cushion volatility.
ABS, CMBS, CLO offer rate cushion
Credit spreads are very tight, leaving little cushion if there is a scare, so he is looking at higher-rated ABS, CMBS, and CLOs where the rate cushion still offers interesting opportunities.
Prefer non-US equities and growth
He wants a higher proportion of equity exposure outside the US and likes emerging markets, the Middle East, and Asia.
AI demand remains intact
Within growth areas, he still likes AI and sees continued demand for AI, though investors need to choose the right part of the AI ecosystem.
Energy infrastructure remains growth area
He still likes energy infrastructure as a growth area within the portfolio.
Cheaper AI boosts semiconductor demand
DeepSeek's efficient model does not kill semiconductor demand; lower AI prices can increase usage, and China's push to diffuse AI across the wider economy should lead to more semiconductor growth, so the Korean memory selloff looks more like profit-taking than a fundamental reset.
China targets EV and autonomous growth
China's 15th Five-Year plan calls for mass adoption of autonomous vehicles and EVs to be 70% of new passenger vehicle sales by 2030, a positive signal after safety incidents; robotaxi rollouts are expanding, and overseas expansion can offset a tough domestic market.
Tencent-backed Enflame has concentration risk
Shanghai Enflame, a Tencent-backed AI chip firm and the last of China's Four Little Dragons, surged in its Shanghai debut; its appeal is Tencent as largest customer and 20% shareholder, but that also creates customer/shareholder concentration risk.
NSE IPO loses growth premium
The National Stock Exchange of India cut its IPO size and valuation because domestic funds refused to pay a premium; its growth story is less attractive as 60% of operating revenue comes from options trading, an area facing regulatory crackdown.
India credit growth offers opportunities
India's 7.8% GDP growth and 15%+ credit growth create broad banking opportunities; liquidity has improved, all segments are doing well, and SBI sees early traction in new specialty groups for hotels/hospitals and M&A, with investment interest in data centers and power.
