S&P 500: AI momentum drives fresh record highs – Deutsche Bank
Deutsche Bank’s Early Morning Reid notes that US equities extended gains as stagflation fears eased with lower Oil prices and AI-related optimism. The S&P 500, Nasdaq and Mag 7 all hit new highs, supported by strong performance from chipmakers such as AMD, while US high-yield credit spreads tightened to their narrowest level in three months.
US equities surge on AI and oil drop
"With fears of a stagflationary shock easing again, multiple equity indices like the S&P 500 (+1.46%), Nasdaq (+2.02%) and the Mag 7 (+2.00%) roared to new highs."
"Moreover, continued momentum from the AI trade helped propel risk assets to new highs as well, with the S&P 500 (+1.46%) at another record."
"Within the rally, chipmakers continued to outperform, driven by strong earnings from AMD (+18.61%) after it reported strong demand for AI agents."
"So this powered the Philly semiconductor index up +4.48%, extending its YTD gain to 62%."
"The positive mood was also visible in other risk assets, with US HY credit spreads tightening by 4bp to their narrowest level in three months."
