Ideas
Lesetja Kganyago South African Reserve Bank Governor 24:18
El Niño may lift fertilizer prices.
The looming El Niño phenomenon is something to watch, as it could lead to higher fuel and fertilizer prices, adding to the existing inflation shocks.

Rotate from US tech to value abroad.
Vanguard expects a correction in equity markets, with a rotation away from overvalued US tech into value stocks and non‑US equities. This is driven by uncertainty about whether AI mega‑cap investments will deliver an adequate rate of return; if AI fails to deliver the expected productivity transformation, the correction would be larger.

AI demand boosts chips and energy.
AI capex spending is creating clear demand for energy, compute, and chips. Morgan Stanley is constructive on this theme through the end of the year and into next year, as the AI buildout continues to add to aggregate demand.

Broadening earnings support US equities.
Equity market performance is broadening out, with earnings increasing across the board, not only in AI. Morgan Stanley is constructive on the overall direction of US equities.
