Europe's fiscal spending boost to be a 'seismic shift' for economy

The shift in market sentiment away from US stocks (^GSPC, ^IXIC, ^DJI) and toward international equities has been swift and significant. HSBC head of emerging markets and global equity strategist Alastair Pinder attributes this shift to a change in government responses to US trade policies, particularly the fiscal policies introduced in China and Europe. "I think really the big catalyst which has caused this shift out of the US and into international stocks is the way that governments are reacting to Trump's policies," Pinder tells Catalysts host Madison Mills. Pinder notes that European fiscal spending, particularly in Germany, has offset potential tariff-related headwinds, improving the region's growth outlook. Regarding Europe’s potential, he states, "That, for me, is a game changer. That is a seismic shift in Europe's economy, and that's why I think you have a bit more longevity now in the European equity market trade." Additionally, Pinder emphasizes the tariff' impacts on European stocks may be less severe than anticipated due to the region's varied exposure.

Investors should diversify out of AI stocks: Strategist

US Equities (^GSPC, ^DJI, ^IXIC) have been mixed on Monday morning as Wall Street moves into the second half of the year. The first two quarters of 2024 have been dominated by the tech sector and AI names, but can those rallies continue? Charles Schwab chief global investment strategist and managing director Jeffrey Kleintop joins Morning Brief to give insight into how markets may play out in the second half of the year and whether investors should adjust their positioning regarding AI. Kleintop says that investors should only pull out of their AI names "when they can see that there are opportunities elsewhere, there are a number of other parts of the market that are much more attractively valued and have increasing earnings momentum. One of the things that we've seen over the last four or five quarters is that AI stocks have driven almost all the earnings gains".
