  • Kansas City Fed President Jeffrey Schmid suggests short-end rates may still be accommodative.
  • Easing memory chip shortages could pressure memory stocks like SK Hynix while benefiting downstream users like Nintendo and Sony.

Increased memory capacity will benefit downstream users.
The current memory chip shortage is prompting companies to ramp up capacity, which will eventually ease the shortage and create downside risk for memory makers like SK Hynix, while benefiting downstream users like Nintendo and Sony.

Yen weakness raises BOJ rate hike expectations.
The continued weakness in the Japanese Yen is raising expectations that the Bank of Japan will raise interest rates, which is already resulting in weaker demand and higher yields at the latest two-year bond auction.

Lifting federal ban clears Anthropic IPO path.
The federal judge's ruling to lift the ban on government use of Anthropic's technology is a major win for the AI industry and clears the path for Anthropic to pursue an IPO and sustain its rapid growth.

Narrowed guidance limits further software sector upside.
Software stocks like Workday have had a massive run into their earnings prints, and despite beating metrics, their narrowed guidance is not enough to excite investors to deploy more capital into the software sector.

Longer-term guidance gives investors comfort in Nvidia.
Nvidia's exceptional post-earnings performance was driven by management providing longer-term guidance rather than just one or two quarters, which gave investors the comfort needed to deploy capital despite broader market concerns.

French election risks will widen bond spreads.
The spread between French and German bonds is likely to widen to 100 basis points by the end of the year because the leading French presidential candidates, such as Marine Le Pen, are proposing policies that lack fiscal prudence and will fail to constrain public spending.
