While markets did come back to earth somewhat on Friday and significant uncertainty remains with respect to the Iran conflict, we believe this rally is durable, because they\u2019re driven by the fundamentals. Broadly speaking, U.S. companies have the best earnings and the most ambitious capital expenditure (CapEx) plans. In our view, markets are properly reflecting the strength of these leading U.S. firms, especially in the Technology space. As I\u2019ve noted previously, Tech also benefits from being less reliant on oil as an input compared to some other sectors, and therefore less sensitive to higher prices and the ongoing Strait of Hormuz situation\u2014another reason why they\u2019ve earned a premium to the market. Companies outside of Tech reported strong profits as well, with 84% of all companies in the S&amp;P 500 beating earnings estimates.<a href=\"https:\/\/bmogam.com\/ca-en\/insights\/weekly-commentary-may-19-is-the-mag-7-about-to-become-mag-8\/#footnote-ref-1\"><sup>1<\/sup><\/a>&nbsp;Consumers\u2019 resilience is playing a role here; many investors were pricing in a less rosy consumer picture, including negative impacts from tariffs and the Iran conflict, but that did not materialize in company guidance. A delayed impact is to be expected\u2014for instance, the economy is only now feeling the full effects of the U.S. Federal Reserve\u2019s (Fed) interest rate cuts from last year. In the near term, the impact of higher oil prices is being offset by tax refunds. After a few months, it is likely that people will begin to feel the effects of inflation and higher oil prices. For now, however, we believe that markets can continue to move higher, with Tech leading the way but other sectors benefitting from a broadening of the rally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Bottom line: In our view, markets can continue to rally as long as we don\u2019t see any further spikes in oil prices\u2014though much still depends on the timing of a resolution to the Iran conflict.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-a-i-ipos\"><strong>A.I. IPOs<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A slew of artificial intelligence (A.I.) initial public offerings (IPOs) are on the horizon, including heavyweights like Anthropic, OpenAI, and SpaceX. But is there a chance these offerings could upend markets as investors pull assets from other investments to join the party? It\u2019s a good question, as we expect FOMO (fear of missing out) to drive strong interest\u2014many investors will feel that they missed out on previous Tech IPOs and won\u2019t want to be left on the sidelines this time. Markets are already very familiar with the A.I. theme, and in addition to individual investors, we also expect strong interest from institutions, many of whom are already involved with these kinds of companies pre-IPO. People who have been sitting on cash may also be enticed to get in on these opportunities. That said, if investors are reallocating money to take part in these offerings, we expect it would mostly come out of their existing A.I. sleeve rather than other parts of their portfolio. There is also the risk that these IPOs may also reignite concern about exceptionally high valuations and whether companies A.I. CapEx spend is driving revenues. If the Magnificent 7 (Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, Meta, Microsoft, Nvidia, and Tesla) were to suddenly become the Magnificent 8 or Magnificent 9, investors may feel that even greater skepticism of valuations is warranted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Bottom line: We expect strong interest in upcoming A.I. IPOs, with money mostly moving over from other A.I. companies.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-u-s-china\"><strong>U.S.-China<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Last Friday, the whirlwind U.S.-China summit came to a close, with U.S. President Trump and Chinese President Xi both saying that progress was made despite no new trade deals being announced.<a href=\"https:\/\/bmogam.com\/ca-en\/insights\/weekly-commentary-may-19-is-the-mag-7-about-to-become-mag-8\/#footnote-ref-2\"><sup>2<\/sup><\/a>&nbsp;The timing of the state visit was interesting, as the U.S. is likely seeking Beijing\u2019s help in resolving the Iran situation and re-opening the Strait of Hormuz. While Trump has sought to project strength in his public statements, the midterm elections are only six months away and public opinion polls show the war to be unpopular.<a href=\"https:\/\/bmogam.com\/ca-en\/insights\/weekly-commentary-may-19-is-the-mag-7-about-to-become-mag-8\/#footnote-ref-3\"><sup>3<\/sup><\/a>&nbsp;China is in the unique position of potentially being able to influence Iran given the two countries\u2019 close relationship, and also motivated to reach a resolution given their reliance on Middle Eastern oil. But no favour comes for free\u2014if China is to intervene in hopes of ending the conflict, it will expect something in return, and Trump\u2019s political bind puts Beijing in an advantageous negotiating position. Everyone involved, including Iran, wants the strait open. It\u2019s just a matter of bridging the gap between what Iran wants and what the Trump administration is willing to give up without losing face\u2014and thus far, bilateral talks have not produced a solution. In our view, the U.S.-China summit is a positive step, because it indicates that the U.S. is actively engaged in resolving the situation. From a trade standpoint, it also means that better deals between the two countries could be coming. There is some risk that if Iran-related negotiations go poorly, then that could carry over into the trade sphere. But we don\u2019t expect that to be the case. The other risk we\u2019re monitoring involves the U.S. CEOs that accompanied on the trip, including Tesla and SpaceX\u2019s Elon Musk and Nvidia\u2019s Jensen Huang. The mixing of business and politics is always dicey. We\u2019ve already seen the U.S. government take a stake in Intel. If they hold onto it for some time and\/or acquire stakes in other firms, then we\u2019d essentially be looking at longer-term government ownership of corporate America, which could complicate matters down the road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Bottom line: The U.S.-China summit renews hope of a resolution to the Iran conflict\u2014but if China does get involved, it will expect something in return.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-positioning\"><strong>Positioning<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For a detailed breakdown of our portfolio positioning, check out the
