Ideas
Watch Asian AI chip supply chain.
Nvidia's reported 15% price increase mirrors rising memory prices from Samsung and SK Hynix. The entire AI supply chain has been raising prices, and Nvidia is passing costs through. Watch TSMC foundries, Samsung and SK Hynix memory, and Taiwanese server makers as the whole AI supply chain reacts, while some listed server makers may suffer.
Warsh speech risks Treasury volatility.
The bond market is ahead of the Fed, and the long-end Treasury yield problem is structural rather than fixable by temporary buybacks. Persistent inflation, a bad fiscal deficit, and around $1 trillion of corporate bond issuance competing with government paper mean long-end Treasury yields will likely stay elevated.
Gold and crypto hedge debt debasement.
Major governments are not reining in fiscal deficits, making long-term bonds unattractive and less reliable as equity hedges. Until fiscal discipline returns, investors will need alternative hedges such as gold and crypto, plus some equity exposure.
Nvidia's earnings can reignite AI confidence.
Nvidia's P/E has contracted while it is growing about 50% a year, and it has enough pricing power to raise prices and pass through component inflation. Hyperscaler spending plans flow directly to Nvidia, so results should far exceed estimates and could reawaken confidence in the AI cycle.
Own leaders in AI memory.

Own leaders in AI memory.
Within the AI semiconductor complex, SK Hynix and Micron are the leaders in memory, while Nvidia is the direct chip leader. Investors wanting memory exposure should use the leading memory names rather than broad AI beta.
Google leads hyperscaler tech stacks.
The AI trade is becoming selective as the market draws a hard line between companies spending on AI and companies earning from it. Alphabet delivered and Microsoft passed, while Meta was punished for lack of AI spending discipline. That divergence should widen.
Avoid Meta on court-case overhang.

Japanese bonds face upward yield pressure.
Rising inflation risk is putting pressure on Japanese bonds. The BOJ is cautious and may postpone its next rate hike, but the market is pricing aggressive tightening, leaving JGBs exposed to upward yield pressure.
Favor AI earners, avoid Meta.

Prefer Australian resource and energy miners.
Australian earnings are mixed: resources are carrying the load, with global commodity exposures, energy, and copper names showing clear upside and strong dividends, while much of the rest of the market is contracting in real terms.
