Key Points
- The Fed is expected to hold or cut interest rates, contrary to market expectations for a hike.
- Inflation is anticipated to be lower than consensus, influenced by declining oil prices and deflationary technology trends like AI.
- Macroeconomic factors are becoming less relevant; market performance is primarily driven by capital expenditure in AI infrastructure.
- Bullish on US equities, especially in AI infrastructure (semis, memory, cloud) and some SaaS, seeing current dips as buying opportunities.
AI Summary

He argues that macroeconomic factors are less impactful than AI infrastructure capital expenditure, leading to a bullish outlook on US equities, particularly in tech.
