The Investor’s Edge: Key Trends Driving Today’s Markets
The last few weeks of AI-infrastructure deal announcements have raised many an eyebrow about the circular nature of these deals (ex. Nvidia investing in $100B in OpenAI so that OpenAI can buy NVDA chips, alongside a $300B OpeanAI deal with Oracle that will purchase even more NVDA chips), and stirred up memories of the ill-fated vendor financing boom of the 1990’s tech bubble.

High valuations have been a source of persistent consternation to investors looking at S&P 500 price levels.

Quarterly Outlook: The Space Between
Being in the space between should feel somewhat familiar to investors, as we experienced a space between back in 2022. Uncertainty and market volatility was pronounced that year, as investors debated how a rapid rise in Fed interest rates and the associated weakening in sentiment/soft data would weigh on real economic activity. Forecasters slashed estimates for U.S. GDP and S&P 500 EPS growth, broadly expecting a recession to be the end result of that space between, while equities experienced a bear market in anticipation of this weaker growth.
