Chinese Stocks Continue To Rally

International stocks continue to outperform, with Chinese stocks getting significant attention. And the attention is widespread, with micro-cap, small-cap, mid-cap, and large-cap names popping up on investors’ radars…and our trending tabs.

We first spoke about EHang a few weeks ago when it began rallying. But today, it’s worth another mention as $EH shares are up another 35%…closing out their third straight week of gains. 😮

There wasn’t any specific news driving the stock this week. But certain areas of the market have been keeping investors’ attention, which we think is a theme worth highlighting.

Another PCE Of The Puzzle

It was a busy day of economic data, so let’s try to piece it all together. 📝

The Fed’s preferred inflation measure, the personal consumption expenditures (PCE) index, was today’s big economic data point. The core measure, which excludes food and energy, rose 0.3% MoM and was up 4.6% YoY. That was below January’s 0.5% increase and the 0.4% consensus estimate. 🌡️

Regional Banks In Free Fall

JPMorgan Chase’s “rescue” of First Republic Bank didn’t exactly inspire confidence in the banking sector today. In fact, despite Dimon saying, “…this part of the crisis is over,” the market seemed to disagree in a big way. 👎

At the chart’s edges, we see the best and worst performers were commodities. The asset class had a wide range of returns, but orange juice and natural gas experienced outsized moves. After a decline in February, U.S. Treasury bonds have recovered and were positive across the board. And the U.S. Dollar is marginally negative but essentially stuck in a trading range.

A Big Move In Bonds

One of the market’s biggest beneficiaries of the current market turmoil has been bonds. Just days after the U.S. 2-Year Treasury Yield broke above 5%, it’s fallen roughly 50 bps in one of its sharpest declines ever. 😮

Analysts say Treasuries are again acting as a “flight to safety” trade. But they also benefit from the market adjusting its views on the Fed’s next move.

Or at least intervene in some way to restore confidence in the financial system.

Despite the generative artificial intelligence (AI) race just beginning, Sam Altman says that the research strategy that birthed chatbot technology is played out. 🤔

The CEO of OpenAI, which created ChatGPT, noted that progress over the last few years has been created by taking existing machine-learning algorithms and scaling them up to massive size.
