Key Points
- AI stock rally is strong with robust earnings, but caution is advised due to potential market corrections.
- Key threats include a revisit of higher US 10-year yields (4.75%-5%) if inflation expectations rise, particularly after the June 10th CPI data.
- Geopolitical escalation in the Middle East (Iran/Hormuz) is another significant risk that could negatively impact market sentiment and the AI narrative.
- Bond market positioning shows a strong consensus for 'paid rates' and 'long dollars', reflecting widespread inflation fears and expectations of higher yields.
