Summary

Bloomberg Daybreak Europe covers the aftermath of a global tech-driven selloff, with markets stabilising ahead of Micron's highly anticipated earnings. Oil prices ease as more tankers traverse the Strait of Hormuz amid conflicting US-Iran peace signals. Siemens CEO details the company's AI industrial transformation, while UK political uncertainty and European heatwave pressures add to market complexity. Nomura economist expects a BoE hold versus ECB hikes.

  • Asian stocks erase early gains as caution prevails ahead of Micron earnings and the Kospi remains volatile after a 10% drop.
  • Memory chip stocks show elevated implied volatility and extraordinary turnover, raising stakes for Micron's results.
  • Oil prices decline as Strait of Hormuz tanker traffic increases, signaling tangible progress in Iran peace negotiations.
  • Siemens CEO highlights real-world AI deployment with productivity gains and NVIDIA partnership, positioning the company as an industrial AI leader.
  • US Treasury Secretary Bessent backs Fed Chair Warsh, while upcoming core PCE data is eyed for inflation signals.
  • European heatwave pushes French power prices to highest since 2022 energy crisis, straining grids.
  • UK political transitions create uncertainty over defence spending, fiscal rules, and the future chancellor.
  • Nomura expects no Bank of England rate cut this year but two more ECB hikes, citing differing second-round inflation risks.

High vol event risk in memory chips.
Memory chip stocks Micron and the two South Korean chipmakers are displaying elevated implied volatility and extraordinary turnover ahead of Micron's earnings. The crowded momentum trade and high stakes create a setup where the earnings release can trigger large moves in either direction, making these names a key volatility event to monitor.

Hormuz tanker traffic eases oil risks.
Tangible progress in Iran peace negotiations is visible through increasing tanker traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, with more oil barrels moving in and out of the waterway. Markets should focus on this concrete easing of supply disruption risks rather than conflicting diplomatic statements, as it signals a reduction in the geopolitical risk premium for oil.
