Signs of upward wage pressure in Japan mean a more hawkish Bank of Japan could reinforce the recent trend of yen strengthening against the US dollar.
Rotate into high-dividend and value stocks.
With the war between the US and Iran feeding high inflation and high energy prices, investors are rebalancing away from concentrated global equities into better-valued, high-dividend and value stocks to lower overall valuations and improve diversification.
Software fundamentals support strong valuations.
Software fundamentals remain strong: AI features are driving incremental revenue and dedicated enterprise budgets, while AI tooling improves operating efficiency, with about five percentage points of margin improvement potential over the next 12 to 18 months that should underpin valuations.
Cybersecurity demand is multiplying.
