US Stocks Pull Back from Records as Bond Yields Spike and Fed Signals Hikes

US equities reversed course on Wednesday, ending lower after hitting record highs the previous day, as the 10-year Treasury yield surged to its highest level since 2002. Federal Reserve minutes revealed expectations for another rate hike before year-end, while rising oil prices and geopolitical tensions in the Middle East weighed on sentiment. Although tech stocks had driven recent gains, broad market weakness emerged as bond market turmoil intensified.

Software Surges Back: AI Fears Ease as Earnings Spark a Potential October Rally

A wave of strong software earnings is easing months of AI-induced fears that the sector would shrink via fewer subscriptions. Salesforce’s solid results helped the IGV ETF turn positive year-to-date, buoying hopes for a longer rally as Workday, CrowdStrike, and ServiceNow also posted momentum from AI offerings and data advantages. Analysts say the rally could extend into October, driven more by investor positioning and stock-specific fundamentals than a universal industry-wide shift.

JPMorgan urges dip-buying in 2026 as macro setup shifts

JPMorgan urges dip-buying in 2026 as macro setup shifts

JPMorgan strategists led by Mislav Matejka say investors with at least a three-month horizon should use any stock weakness to buy, arguing 2026 presents a very different setup from 2022 as inflation pressures ease and pricing power softens. The note favors long-duration assets sensitive to rate moves and anticipates a reversion toward international stocks (VXUS/EEM) as tensions ease. EPS forecasts for the S&P 500 remain positive, eurozone earnings growth looks solid, and EM valuations remain deeply discounted to developed markets (EM ~34% cheaper; Europe trading around 14x 2026 earnings versus the S&P 500 ~19.5x). A fading dollar-safe-haven bid could further bolster non-US equities in the second half.

Adobe earnings beat masks slower AI gains as Narayen exits

Adobe topped Q1 revenue and adjusted earnings expectations, but annual recurring revenue growth slowed to 10.9% to about $26.1 billion, signaling AI-driven monetization isn’t accelerating yet. CEO Shantanu Narayen will step down after 18 years (remaining as chair until a successor is named). The stock fell after hours and is down roughly 19% for the year, even as Firefly and freemium user growth highlight potential, with management guiding to a back-half revenue acceleration rather than immediate upside.

AI Fear Trade and Private-Credit Jitters Roil February Stocks

February’s stock selloff was driven by AI-related fears and private-credit stress, with lenders such as Blue Owl and Apollo Global Management facing withdrawals and asset evaluations that spooked investors. Inflation signals and a rush to safer assets boosted bonds and haven metals, leaving major indexes lower for the month even as the Dow posted a monthly gain.

Private-credit fears spark a selloff in asset-manager stocks

Investors dumped asset-manager stocks last week after concerns about Blue Owl Capital’s private‑credit fund sparked fears of liquidity strain and possible spillovers to other private‑debt lenders and BDCs, prompting worries about how quickly portfolios could be exited and at what prices. While analysts say private credit has grown large and isn’t yet a systemic crisis, the episode highlights liquidity risk in publicly traded vehicles that hold private loans and the sensitivity of the asset-management sector to private‑debt conditions.

Broad market rotation eclipses rate-cut hype as markets brace for earnings

Investors are moving away from tech toward cyclical and value stocks as the U.S. economy stays steady and the Fed is expected to hold rates this week, shifting focus from rate-cut bets to earnings and fundamentals; energy, industrials and materials lead gains, the Russell 2000 outpaces the S&P 500, and Mega-cap tech’s influence wanes ahead of key earnings just as expectations for future rate cuts evolve.
