Key Takeaways

U.S. 10-year and 30-year yields were cited at 5.3% and 5.6%, with inflation risk, strong nominal growth and a roughly 1% term premium among the drivers. Forecasts ranged from declines over the next couple of years to 7%–8% long term, while a break above 5% was said to signal decades of increases.
The market-cap-weighted S&P 500 and Nasdaq hit all-time highs after a 10% correction, but the average S&P 500 stock’s one-month absolute move was in the 95th percentile of 30 years. Hundreds of stocks beyond a few AI-related names were in crisis mode, and the equal-weighted index showed a different picture.
AI was credited with a 3% GDP tailwind and one million new jobs, claims attributed to The Economist. A forecast held that current capex spending will end within two years, making real-economy weakness more apparent.

GEO-POLITICS

French Borrowing Costs — France’s 10-year bond yield topped 5%, amid 43 billion euros in austerity cuts. The unrest was linked to cost-of-living pressures; civil-service pay rose 5% since 2017 as prices rose 20%, and protests reportedly involved 2,000 arrests and 305 injured police officers.

ECONOMY

AI Growth — AI was credited with a 3% GDP tailwind and one million new jobs, claims attributed to The Economist. A forecast held that current capex spending will end within two years, making real-economy weakness more apparent, while debt and deficits were said to erode growth and be disinflationary over time.

Family Financial Literacy — In Remitly’s study of 27 countries, Americans answered 72% of financial-literacy questions correctly and ranked 25th, while respondents in the Czech Republic scored 90.9%; people surveyed broadly felt let down by school financial education. Children’s financial learning was said to start at home, with parents urged to teach by example and discuss estate planning.

MARKETS

Oil Prices — WTI stayed above $90, and USO returned to its level at the start of the Iran war. The forecast allowed for a further rise, while a drop to around $80 could ease inflation pressure and pull yields lower, potentially prompting a rotation into REITs and utilities.

Market Breadth — The average S&P 500 stock’s one-month absolute move was in the 95th percentile of 30 years. Hundreds of stocks beyond a few AI-related names were in crisis mode. The market-cap-weighted S&P 500 and Nasdaq hit all-time highs after a 10% correction, though the market had largely gone nowhere over six months and the equal-weighted index showed a different picture.
