Daily UpdateEquitiesRates Govt BondsMacro Economic IndicatorsInformation TechnologyConsumer Discretionary

Markets are rebounding following a selloff, fueled by tech hardware optimism surrounding Jensen Huang's China visit, despite a hot US CPI print and rising bond yields.

Key Takeaways

  • 1.NVIDIA's Jensen Huang joining a CEO delegation to China has supported a global hardware and semiconductors rally.
  • 2.US CPI came in higher than expected at +0.38% m/m, driven by OER, footwear, and apparel, indicating persistent inflationary pressure.
  • 3.Equity technicals remain supported by gamma into expiry, but a negative bond impulse (yields > 5%) historically signals risks for Russell and EM.
