Saudi pipeline shutdown squeezes oil supply
The Saudi East-West pipeline remains shut and has been the main outlet for Saudi crude since the Strait of Hormuz was effectively closed. With Hormuz still impaired and UK officials expecting up to six weeks to restart the pipeline, Saudi oil exports could fall close to zero, tightening global oil supply and supporting prices.
Treasuries near end of rate move
She thinks the global bond selloff may be nearing its end because the 10-year yield at 5% is not inherently special, risk assets are now responding to real-rate-driven tightening, central bank credibility can be restored by a Fed risk-management hike, long-end supply may fall, and oil is creating a stagflationary shock. As higher rates and oil hit growth, Treasuries should start to look valuable, but she warns that several catalysts must occur and investors should be careful about stepping in too early.
Own duration outside US, especially Europe/UK
She prefers duration outside the US because risk-reward is better without the US AI supply narrative. Europe is more sensitive to gas and oil prices, UK growth is particularly weak, and Japan could become interesting if the BOJ hikes and gets ahead of the curve. She suggests starting with light duration and owning non-US duration for now.

Corporate credit attractive on strong fundamentals
She likes corporate credit across the board because fundamentals are strong, company balance sheets and earnings are solid, all-in yields of 6% to 7% are attractive, supply is being met by demand, and dispersion is creating active opportunities. Late in the credit cycle she prefers careful credit selection and adding carry rather than moving down in credit quality.
Data center credit offers active opportunities
Many data center credit deals are not in the index, so active managers can find opportunities there; she sees a lot of opportunity but stresses careful credit work around leverage and maturity walls.
Like technology credit on supply, spreads
She likes technology credit now because there is much more supply and spreads are lighter, creating opportunities.
Cybersecurity layer key for AI guardrails
As AI develops, more investment needs to be focused on the cybersecurity layer to put protocols and guardrails in place, keep AI technology growing on track, and address the US-China technology race.
AI demand and monetization still expanding
For investors, the key issue is not whether frontier development slows but whether AI demand and monetization continue to expand; at the moment the odds are yes, with model usage and capex still growing.
Hyperscalers advantaged in AI value chain
A slowdown at the frontier could hand an advantage to hyperscalers because they have diversified exposure across the AI value chain and may benefit as AI winners and losers sort out.
Chip stocks crowded, positioning risk elevated
The Philadelphia Semiconductor Index sold off nearly 6%, and BofA's fund manager survey showed long chip stocks is the most crowded trade, so positioning risk could keep pressure on semiconductor stocks.
Russia-Ukraine attacks tighten diesel supply
Drone warfare in the Russia-Ukraine war has hurt Russia's ability to make fuel, and Russia is a major diesel supplier to the global market, feeding into higher refined product prices. Ukraine is reluctant to stop a key strategic lever, so pressure on diesel and energy is likely to persist and hurt trucking and farming.
