Ideas

Buy copper, uranium, energy equities.
With sticky inflation and poor bond returns, multi-asset investors should shift from fixed income to alternatives like commodities and real assets. Specifically, copper, uranium, and energy equities linked to green energy are attractive. China's know-how in green energy supply chains adds to the thesis.

Long CSI 100 mid-caps on rebound.
Chinese mid-cap stocks (CSI 100) could benefit if Chinese consumption rebounds, oil prices decline, and property market shows green shoots. There is a preference for Asian markets and mid-caps, with potential upside from pension and wealth management flows.

Apple upgrade cycle positive.
Apple's new Siri AI features, available only on newer iPhones, will drive a significant upgrade cycle. The personal assistant capabilities, leveraging user data and privacy, will enhance user experience and help Apple gain market share despite a declining overall market.

Short EUR/USD if DXY breaks 114.
If the DXY index breaks above 114, there will be further downside for the euro versus the U.S. dollar. Recommends short EUR/USD as a trade.
