Not buying credit spreads at current levels.

Dimon says he would not buy credit spreads at current levels because he expects them to widen due to potential stress from higher interest rates, economic slowdown, and liquidity risks. He believes that many investors are complacent and that credit spreads are too tight relative to the risks of refinancing at higher rates and potential credit stress.

Nifty 50 bear case: 20,500.

Batra warns that India's Nifty 50 could slip to 20,500 in a bear case scenario due to an extended energy shock from the Middle East conflict, higher oil prices causing demand destruction or margin compression, earnings downgrades, and the negative impact of AI disruption on India's IT sector. He notes that valuations remain high and foreign outflows are persistent.

KOSPI base case: 10,000.

Batra is upbeat on Korean equities, stating that the KOSPI index is poised to reach its base case target of 10,000. Drivers include strong AI capital expenditure and memory market demand, manufacturing and defense resilience, policy support, and a favorable global backdrop. He notes the index has already been revised upward multiple times this year.
