Summary

Bloomberg's Balance of Power Early Edition covers President Trump ringing the opening bell for the Trump accounts launch, $800 million entering markets, his departure to the NATO summit in Ankara, and the FIFA red card reversal controversy. Markets rally post-holiday led by tech and AI stocks. Morgan Stanley's Mike Wilson calls for the broadening trade to reignite, favoring hyperscalers, biotech, and consumer discretionary over semiconductors. SMBC's Joe Lavorgna argues AI fundamentals match the hype and the boom is not yet slowing, despite expectations for a Fed rate hike.

  • President Trump rings NYSE opening bell as Trump accounts launch with $800M in new seed capital invested in markets this week.
  • Trump heads to NATO summit in Ankara; defense spending and Ukraine war are top agenda items.
  • Former NATO Ambassador Ivo Daalder says Ukraine is gaining ground while Russia suffers heavy casualties and infrastructure damage.
  • US equity markets rally, with the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index (SOX) surging over 3% and tech leading gains.
  • Mike Wilson (Morgan Stanley) says the broadening trade has reignited, rotating from chips into hyperscalers, biotech, and consumer discretionary, supported by lower oil and easing rate-hike fears.
  • Joe Lavorgna (SMBC) says AI spending is an arms race, earnings justify hype, and the AI boom is not yet over; he expects a Fed rate hike later this year.
  • FIFA reverses US player's red card after President Trump's personal call, sparking international controversy and Belgium's failed appeal.

Broadening trade reignites, shift to hyperscalers, biotech.
The broadening trade is reigniting as oil prices have declined and Fed rate hike fears have eased, leading to lower long-term rates. This environment supports a rotation away from concentrated semiconductor positions into other areas: hyperscalers (large-cap AI-driven tech), biotech, and consumer discretionary sectors. The market adjustment to a new Fed regime is creating wider dispersion but ultimately lower volatility, favoring a broader equity rally beyond just a few mega-cap names.

AI fundamentals strong, still room to run.
AI spending is an arms race and the strong earnings behind AI-related companies validate the hype, indicating the AI boom is not yet slowing. The economy is robust, AI-driven corporate earnings are powering the stock market, and historically equity markets do not peak in summer. Despite potential Fed rate hikes that might trigger a correction, the AI trade still has room to run and fundamentals support further upside.
