Ideas
Chloe Meley Reporter, Bloomberg 2:00
Buy European stocks as energy squeeze fades.
With the energy squeeze from the Iran conflict receding due to the interim deal and oil prices dropping, the cloud over Europe is lifting. European stocks have lagged this year, lacking hot AI names, so investors can now go back into Europe.

BOJ has much more tightening ahead.
The Bank of Japan raised rates to 1% but the pace of increase is too slow. Real interest rates remain deeply negative and the BOJ cannot estimate the neutral rate. The BOJ has a long way to go in tightening, which should eventually support the Japanese yen as rates rise further.
