Summary

Oil prices drop on progress toward a deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, easing inflation fears and prompting a rally in US Treasuries. Brandywine Global's Carol Lye argues that global bond yields will stay higher for longer and that JGB yields will eventually rise as the BOJ catches up. SpaceX and AMD results highlight strong AI capex, benefiting Asian chipmakers like Samsung and SK hynix. India's RBI holds rates while Standard Chartered's Anubhuti Sahay sees the rupee weakening. Pakistan fintech Abhi prepares for an IPO.

  • Oil prices fall below $80 on optimism over an interim deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
  • Treasury yields decline as lower oil eases US inflation and Fed rate hike concerns.
  • Carol Lye (Brandywine Global) says global bond yields can remain higher for longer, driven by real yields and resilient growth.
  • She also expects the BOJ to eventually raise rates, pushing JGB yields higher.
  • SpaceX and AMD earnings highlight robust AI infrastructure spending, a positive for Asian chip suppliers like Samsung and SK hynix.
  • India's RBI is set to hold rates; Anubhuti Sahay cautions on rupee weakness amid capital flow uncertainty.
  • Pakistan's Abhi Microfinance Bank plans an IPO in September, aiming to raise up to $11 million.
Ideas
Carol Lye Portfolio Manager, Senior Research Analyst, Brandywine Global 7:12
Higher-for-longer yields; no explicit TLT short.
Avoid TLT: the Bloomberg segment says global long-end yields are likely to remain elevated, which is bearish for long-duration Treasury exposure, but it does not state an explicit short or puts trade.
Carol Lye Portfolio Manager, Senior Research Analyst, Brandywine Global 15:38
JGB yield-rise view; no explicit short.
Avoid Japanese government bonds: the Bloomberg segment argues JGB yields are likely to rise as the BOJ stays behind the curve and supply pressure persists, which is bearish for long JGB exposure, but it does not state an explicit short or puts trade.
