Ideas

Nvidia demand remains strong despite supply constraints.
Nvidia's strong near-term guidance is already well anticipated by the market, leading smart money to rotate out of the stock and into other semiconductor subcomponents for better alpha generation.
Robert Lee Senior Analyst, Bloomberg Intelligence 8:32
Smart money rotates into memory and opto.
Investors seeking alpha in the AI semiconductor space should rotate into memory stocks and subcomponent companies like opto names, which offer better performance potential than early winners like Nvidia.

Chinese AI startup losses question cloud sustainability.
Chinese AI startups like MiniMax and Zhipu AI are losing hundreds of millions of dollars, raising questions about the long-term commercial sustainability of demand for local cloud services from Alibaba and Tencent.

Korean offshore USD bonds offer favorable funding.
Korean issuers in the offshore US dollar space will continue to see good supply and favorable funding costs compared to domestic fundraising.
Anitza Nip Head of Asia Fixed Income Research, UBP 29:45
Stay in short-duration Treasuries to avoid volatility.
US Treasury yields are expected to stay range-bound with ongoing volatility, so investors should stay on the shorter duration, such as four-year paper, to avoid long-end volatility.
Anitza Nip Head of Asia Fixed Income Research, UBP 30:08
US Treasuries and quality credit remain attractive.
US Treasuries offer attractive absolute yield levels, and investors should stay constructive on fixed income by focusing on quality credit amid market volatility.
Anitza Nip Head of Asia Fixed Income Research, UBP 31:04
Emerging market domestic bonds offer attractive yields.
Emerging market domestic bonds, particularly in Indonesia and Brazil, are attractive as the US dollar weakens and offer good portfolio diversification.
Anitza Nip Head of Asia Fixed Income Research, UBP 31:44
Australian bonds and AT1s offer attractive carry.
Australian bonds are very attractive as an alternative to the US dollar, offering good carry with yields around 5% and bank AT1s yielding around 7%, with the currency expected to appreciate or stay stable.
