J.P. Morgan maintains a tactically bullish stance on US markets but warns of a potential Tech-led pullback as momentum unwinds. The briefing highlights AI infrastructure constraints and specific derivative strategies into NVDA earnings.

Key Takeaways

  • 1.The US Market Intelligence team remains 'Tactically Bullish' but with reduced conviction due to high probability of a Tech-led pullback.
  • 2.The AI/Semiconductor sell-off may be nearing an exhaustion point, with SOX down significantly and historical data suggesting a 10% unwind often precedes an uptrend.
  • 3.Derivative positioning for NVDA suggests a potential 'fat tail' outcome, with dealers significantly short gamma around the 5% up-move mark.
