Tech stocks are suffering today on worries that Beijing is becoming increasingly competitive in the high-stakes artificial intelligence race. The concerns were sparked by Chinese AI firm DeepSeek announcing that its open-source model was developed in just two months, costing less than $6 million. On the other hand, some folks believe that there\u2019s no way the advanced technology was built so fast alongside such a modest figure. But equity breadth isn\u2019t bad\u2014it\u2019s actually positive despite the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 losing over 2% at the open. Indeed, lighter yields, a softer greenback and buying activity in some of the cyclical and defensive sectors have allowed the Dow Jones and Russell 2000 to hang in there near their respective flatline. Turning to the economic calendar, the Chinese economy continues to tread water while new home sales stateside gain momentum despite 7-handle mortgages hurting affordability. Prospective buyers and sellers alike may have very well given up on waiting for lower interest rates, with last week\u2019s existing home sales data also depicting a buoyant recovery near year-end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
New Home Sales Surge<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
New home sales finished the year with a bang, similar to last Friday\u2019s existing homes transactions data. But while the pace of existing home sales rose to a 10-month high, activity in the new segment wasn\u2019t as robust, marking the loftiest level since September. Overall, however, the data point to a real estate market that has had enough with waiting for lower financing costs as buyers and sellers operate with a \u201coh well, life goes on\u201d framework. Inventories have been rising and trending higher, having even eclipsed the pre-pandemic level late last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
December new home sales rose to 698,000 seasonally adjusted annualized units, topping the 670,000 median estimate as well as the 674,000 from the prior month. Staggering month-over-month (m\/m) increases of 41.7% and 20.3% in the Northeast and West countered modest declines of 3.3% and 2.1% in the Midwest and South. And transactions weren\u2019t driven by lower prices, as costs rose from $402,500 and $485,000 to $427,000 and $513,600 on a median and average basis m\/m. Still, the lower end comprised almost half of the gains, with homes priced below $400,000 representing approximately half of total sales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
China\u2019s Industrial Profits and PMIs Falter<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
China\u2019s industrial profits and overall activity weakened in January with Purchasing Managers\u2019 Indices (PMI) for manufacturing and non-manufacturing sectors dropping from 50.1 and 52.2 to 49.1 and 50.2 m\/m. Economists anticipated that the manufacturing component would have matched December\u2019s figure, keeping the sector above the contraction and expansion threshold of 50. The declines drove the overall PMI from 52.2 to 50.1, significantly below the forecast of 52. Despite the disappointing results, a PMI component asking businesses about their outlooks for production and operations activity increased to 55.3, pointing to confidence that conditions will strengthen after the Jan. 29 Lunar New Year. Also in January, industrial profits descended 3.3% year over year (y\/y) compared to the 4.7% dip in the final month of 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Singapore\u2019s economy continued to add workers in the fourth quarter and its unemployment rate remained unchanged at 1.9%. The country\u2019s payrolls expanded by 8,700, considerably lower than the third-quarter increase of 22,300. Nevertheless, the result was still higher than in the year-ago period. When releasing the data, Singapore\u2019s Ministry of Manpower said it anticipates softening labor conditions due to geopolitical uncertainty and market volatility. Some people are fearful that potential US tariffs on the country\u2019s products may weaken hiring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hong Kong\u2019s Asian Exports Soar<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Hong Kong\u2019s trade imbalance declined considerably in December m\/m and y\/y. At HK$34.5 billion, it was down from November\u2019s gap of HK$43.4 billion and the year-ago shortfall of HK$59.9 billion. Exports to Vietnam advanced 49.9% y\/y followed by the 33.8% gain from the Philippines. Despite China\u2019s economic woes, the country\u2019s imports from Hong Kong climbed 14.9%. Countries with significant declines in Hong Kong imports included the United Kingdom and the Netherlands with contractions of 28.1% and 23.6%, respectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Japan\u2019s Outlook Revised Upward<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Japan\u2019s final Leading Economic Index for November was tweaked higher from its previous flash reading but dropped m\/m from 109.1 to 107.5 compared to the analyst forecast of 107, which was also the preliminary estimate. In a related matter, Japan\u2019s Coincident Index result of 115.4 weakened m\/m from 116.8. The final result was updated from the 115.3 flash estimate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nvidia Surrenders Top Slot as Equities Weaken<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The equity market is down overall as the Chinese AI developments dominate headlines and cause Nvidia to fall off from being the most valuable company in the world; it\u2019s down a whopping 14%. The semiconductor juggernaut\u2019s weakness is pushing the Nasdaq 100 and S&P 500 benchmarks much lower, with the gauges losing 2.7% and 1.7% in volatile trading. But the Dow Jones Industrial and Russell 2000 indices are only lower by 0.1% and 0.5%, as investors search for things to buy amidst lower overall prices. Sector breadth was positive but has now moved to a split, with 6 out of 11 sectors higher and led by healthcare, consumer staples and communication services, which are gaining 1.5%, 1.5% and 0.6%. But technology, utilities and industrials are down sharply and trimming 4.4%, 4.3% and 1.7%. Meanwhile, Treasurys are catching bids with the 2- and 10-year maturities changing hands at 4.22% and 4.54%, 4 and 7 basis points (bps) lighter on the session as inflationary fears were reduced by Bogota\u2019s acquiescence to President Trump on the immigration front. Currency traders are sensing that Trump\u2019s transactional attitude toward foreign policy will lead to less tariffs than feared and they are essentially sending the Dollar Index south by 20 bps. The greenback is depreciating relative to the yen, franc and euro but is appreciating against the pound sterling, yuan and Aussie and Canadian tenders. Commodities are down across the board as Trump tariff worries ease. Crude oil, copper, lumber, gold and silver are losing 1.7%, 1.3%, 1.2%, 1% and 0.8%. WTI crude is trading at $73.26 per barrel as supply fears are sidelined following Bogota\u2019s agreement with Washington.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One-Trick Pony<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
This bull market\u2019s accelerant from 2023 has been the boom in artificial intelligence. But one of the major risks to the rally is the overreliance on one specific theme rather than broad outperformance by the entire market. The concentration of upside gains has generated vulnerabilities, because if anything goes wrong with AI, then painful selling ensues. Progress stemming from wide and diverse areas of the equity universe are the most sturdy and desirable, since problems in one area can be countered by advancement in another. Those kinds of results take time and are driven by strong economic growth and ensuing corporate earnings. But two consecutive annual returns of around 25% aren\u2019t sustainable with a one-trick pony. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
