Santos: AI Euphoria Meets Reality
TL;DR
Gabriela Santos, Chief Market Strategist for the Americas at JPMorgan Asset Management, says the recent surge in Treasury yields looks overdone. In her view the US economy is resilient but normalizing rather than booming. She urges investors to favor high-quality large caps over speculative AI plays, watch leverage and stay selective in banks, as secular AI forces drive growing dispersion between companies. Reported by Bloomberg.
Nauti's Take
JPMorgan's view is an opportunity for investors to look at the AI rally more soberly: quality names with solid balance sheets offer potential without a bet on pure story. The risk is dispersion, because speculative AI stocks and heavily indebted firms can fall hard when yields rise.
Anyone holding AI exposure should check valuation and leverage. This is not investment advice.
