Summary

Bloomberg Daybreak Europe discusses oil holding gains as Trump's new Iran demands dim Hormuz deal hopes. The yen surrenders half its intervention gains amid wide rate gaps. Nvidia lines up $500B in Wall Street funding for AI infrastructure. The program also covers German automakers' deepening China sales crisis and a Swiss parliamentary vote likely to soften UBS capital rules, while Pictet's fixed-income strategist outlines views on gold, US yields, and the yen.

  • Iran war and Trump compensation demands prolong Strait of Hormuz risk, keeping Brent near $88.
  • Yen weakens back toward 160 vs dollar; intervention gains fade unless BOJ hikes aggressively.
  • Nvidia and major asset managers create a $500B third-party financing pool for AI data centers and chips.
  • Intel plans to raise more equity amid heavy investor demand tied to AI infrastructure buildout.
  • German automakers Mercedes, BMW, VW suffer sharp China share losses to local EV brands with superior tech.
  • Swiss lawmakers lean toward watering down UBS capital demands, potentially allowing more AT1 debt for foreign units.
  • Samsung Electronics rises on speculation of a massive shareholder return package.
  • Pictet strategist sees gold as a safe-haven play, US 10Y yield heading toward 5%, and BOJ terminal rate at 1.5%+.

Samsung may announce big shareholder returns
Samsung Electronics is speculated to be considering a massive shareholder return package, which is boosting positive sentiment around its shareholder returns and driving the stock higher today.

Yen stays weak on wide rate differentials
The yen has erased half of its intervention gains and will likely stay under pressure unless there is another forceful joint intervention and the BOJ turns more hawkish, because rate differentials between the US and Japan remain very wide and investors are currently quite bearish.
USD/JPY MED

German automakers structurally lose China market
German automakers Mercedes, BMW and Volkswagen are losing ground in China, once their most important growth market, as Chinese consumers view their own electric vehicles as having better technology and faster development cycles. German companies are forced to cut costs as their huge China profits disappear and they remain in catch-up mode.

10Y yield may climb toward 5%
Laureline sees upward pressure on US long-term yields, mainly due to the term premium rebuilding and inflation expectations moving higher. She believes the 10-year Treasury yield could rise toward 5% in the coming months as deficits persist and issuance ramps up.

Gold rebounds as safe haven
Laureline is surprised by the rebound in gold price despite higher long-term US yields, noting that it reminds her of the period after April last year when people questioned US institutions and the dollar's safe-haven status. She hears central banks and investors getting back into gold as another safe haven.
GLD MED

BOJ rate hikes to strengthen yen
Laureline expects the BOJ to hike rates faster and eventually higher than previously thought, with the terminal rate likely at 1.5% or above. She believes this can put upward pressure on the yen, marking a potential regime shift.

UBS set for favorable capital rules
All proposals currently on the table in the Swiss parliament favor UBS by watering down the capital requirements the government originally proposed. Specifically, a proposal gaining traction would allow UBS to use up to half of its foreign-unit capital backing via additional Tier 1 debt, which is much more favorable than the 100% hard equity capital originally demanded.
