Summary

Global markets are undergoing a profound restructuring driven by AI infrastructure investment, geopolitical supply disruptions, and diverging monetary policy expectations. AI capex continues to translate into structural orders for optical networking, storage, and data centers, but hardware supply chain bottlenecks and massive financing needs pose constraints; meanwhile, energy and commodity markets maintain high profit margins due to Middle East and Russia supply disruptions, while Chinese refining and chemicals benefit in the short term from tightening supply. At the macro level, rising US Treasury yields are suppressing valuations of long-duration assets, yet corporate earnings growth expectations still support medium-term targets for US equities; the Chinese stock market is showing resilience amid policy capital injections and southbound fund inflows, with rising penetration of GLP-1 drugs and platform-based consolidation in cybersecurity becoming cross-industry themes with high certainty.
