International Market Intelligence Morning Briefing

J.P. Morgan's morning briefing highlights stalled US/Iran ceasefire momentum and Nvidia's entry into AI-agent chips (RTX Spark) as key drivers. While HFs saw gains in May, extremely high positioning in Tech and Japan suggests a risk of reversal as markets enter June/July.

Key Takeaways

• 1.Geopolitical tensions between the US and Iran have stalled ceasefire momentum, leading to higher oil prices and rates, though equity markets remain resilient.
• 2.The AI trade is entering the 'Agentic Era' with Nvidia's release of the RTX Spark chip, which targets the PC market to facilitate autonomous AI agents.
• 3.Hedge fund positioning is extremely stretched in momentum and beta, particularly in Japan (100th percentile), posing a significant near-term risk of reversal in July.
