Trade Ideas
Gilt yields to climb higher.
UK gilt yields will continue to rise due to fiscal concerns, high debt servicing costs, and political uncertainty around Prime Minister Starmer's future, unless a new more fiscally conservative chancellor is appointed. The market has not fully priced in the risk.

Structural AI demand drives Siemens Energy growth.
Siemens Energy is experiencing strong structural demand from AI and data center buildout, driving orders up 30%, profit up 11%, and strong cash generation. The company is sold out in major parts of its business until 2030 and beyond, leading to an accelerated share buyback and upgraded guidance.

NASDAQ 100 supported by strong earnings.
The NASDAQ 100's earnings growth of 30-35% over the next 12 months supports its current valuation, making it not overvalued despite the recent rally and Michael Burry's warning. The AI boom provides fundamental support.
