Ideas

Favor short-to-intermediate duration bonds
Record bond ETF flows and demand for income and resilience support staying in the short-to-intermediate part of the curve. Front-end rates remain elevated and cash is becoming a source of return, with investors focused on carry rather than spread compression.

Prefer European duration over US long duration
European government bonds are well bid and in demand; ECB rate cut is likely in September with inflation the primary driver. In contrast, US fiscal sustainability and inflation uncertainty make long-duration US Treasuries less attractive, so duration exposure is preferred in Europe over the US.

Buy Brazil local currency sovereign debt
Brazil local currency sovereign debt offers the highest yields among sovereigns and is the only major economy expected to see rates go lower over the next 12 months, providing diversification and attractive carry.

IonQ leads quantum computing commercially
IonQ is the first and largest public quantum computing company, with first-mover advantage, revenue scaling from seven to nine figures and aiming for ten figures. It is acquiring SkyWater to expand manufacturing capacity, published a shovel-ready blueprint, and sees Q-Day (quantum breaking encryption) as early as 2029, earlier than consensus, creating a large commercial and government demand pipeline.
