    Fed & Big Tech in focus

    AI appetite is back, but the bills keep growing. Anthropic’s IPO filing, strong demand for Meta’s share sale and SK Hynix’s operating profit beat have revived enthusiasm ahead of the Fed decision and Microsoft and Google earnings. With inflation coming in firmer than expected, investors will scrutinise the Fed’s message for clues about another rate hike. Meanwhile, Big Tech must show that strong cloud growth can justify soaring AI investment. We discuss interest rates, elevated oil prices, the yield curve and why attractive bond yields raise the bar for investors still willing to pay up for the ambitious AI dream. Listen to find out more!

    Tech rebounds, but AI spending worries remain

    Tech stocks rebound as Anthropic’s IPO filing revives appetite for AI enablers. But investors are still questioning the scale of AI infrastructure spending, rising financing needs, circular deals and whether future revenues will justify the investment. Meta’s fundraising plans and chip suppliers’ interest in buying its shares bring those concerns into focus. Meanwhile, a major website security scare highlights both the opportunities and risks AI presents for cybersecurity. With Microsoft, Alphabet and Amazon due to report earnings, can strong cloud growth reassure investors — or will concerns about spending continue to overshadow the results? We also look at France and Brazil. Listen to find out more! Ipek Ozkardeskaya has begun her financial career in 2010 in the structured products desk of the Swiss Banque Cantonale Vaudoise.

    Is this it? Is the tech rally over?

    Strong tech earnings aren’t enough to keep investors on board. AI stocks tumble as concerns about spending, debt and energy constraints overshadow impressive growth. In today’s Swissquote Daily Market Talk, we discuss the technology selloff, demand for US Treasuries, gold’s disappointing reaction and widening French sovereign spreads. We also look at P&G’s defensive appeal and why energy could become the next major AI investment theme. With Microsoft, Alphabet, Amazon and Sandisk reporting next week, can earnings restore confidence, or will investors keep jumping ship? Listen to find out more!

    Tech earnings enthusiasm fails last

    Strong tech earnings are struggling to fuel lasting market enthusiasm. Elevated oil prices, geopolitical tensions and widening European sovereign yield spreads add to the uncertainty. Carrefour’s profit warning shows that even defensive businesses face risks. As markets digest the news ahead of next week’s earnings, we examine technology’s rebound potential, selective defensive opportunities, Treasury yields and gold’s longer-term appeal.

    The cost of shooting for the moon

    Renewed hopes of a US–Iran breakthrough briefly eased energy concerns before fading, leaving investors facing higher oil prices, persistent inflation risks and mounting European debt stress. Meanwhile, SpaceX’s strong quarterly results revived enthusiasm for AI, with booming computing revenue highlighting its growing ambitions beyond space. But shooting for the moon comes at a cost: enormous infrastructure investment, rising financing needs and growing credit concerns across smaller competitors. Meta’s results offer the next test for the broader AI trade. Can advertising growth and new products justify soaring spending? Bigger budgets could support chipmakers while pressuring cash flow. Softer plans could reassure shareholders but disappoint suppliers. Investors increasingly want evidence that today’s ambitious investments will generate tomorrow’s profits and sustainable returns for shareholders. Listen to find out more!

    Bonds, oil & earnings battle for market sentiment

    European debt concerns, rising energy prices and fragile AI confidence test investors’ nerves. French unrest adds to fiscal and political uncertainty, while attractive Japanese bond yields raise questions about capital returning home and the consequences for global borrowing costs. US technology stocks have bounced, but weak Asian trading, Elice’s disappointing debut and resistance to Nscale’s valuation ambitions suggest investors are becoming more selective. Anthropic’s strong revenue growth offers encouragement, yet the AI spending boom still needs fresh money from paying customers to sustain it. Meanwhile, escalating Middle East tensions keep oil elevated, with Russian diesel supplies offering only limited potential relief. Attention turns to earnings, where strong headline growth expectations could help equities weather the storm. But technology and energy flatter the numbers. Can profits keep the bad news in the background, or is the market running short of fuel for its next move? Listen to find out more!
