Morgan Stanley’s Mike Wilson believes that a market reversal is in sight, despite growing concerns about higher-for-longer oil prices and prolonged hostilities in the Middle East. In a new episode of the bank’s Thoughts on the Market podcast, the Morgan Stanley CIO says data shows that the market correction is well into the late stages, countering headlines and claims that investors have been complacent. “First, the US equity market is far less complacent about growth risks than people think.

JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon warns that a rapid wave of AI-driven job disruption could hit faster than past technological shifts. Speaking at the Hill and Valley Forum, Dimon says the pace of change may leave little time for workers and institutions to adjust. According to the JPMorgan chief executive, AI adoption will be fundamentally different from prior innovations that unfolded over decades. “It is unbelievable, AI. It’s coming. It’s going to come quickly. Most technologies took a long time to roll in: the internet, electricity, tractors and farms. And society had a chance to adjust and move people to…
A firm overseeing more than $1 billion in assets is cutting its equity holdings, believing that cash is king under current market conditions. In a new BNN Bloomberg interview, Key Advisors CEO Eddie Ghabour says he doesn’t think that buying dips now is a solid strategy. According to Ghabour, the market will likely see more downside price action in the near term. “The market’s going to continue to trend down, in our opinion, because this energy shock is devastating for many economies around the world. And we are a global economy. So we probably won’t go to 100% cash. But…
Rich Dad Poor Dad author Robert Kiyosaki says investors can get rich by keeping a close watch on two macro themes. In a new X post, Kiyosaki says investors don’t need a crystal ball to know the future, as long-term trends in government policy and global conflict make it easy to anticipate capital flows. “INVESTOR SECRET: ‘If you want to be a rich investor, you have to see the future.’ Seeing the future today is EASY for two reasons. 1: The National Debt will only go up because governments will only keep printing fake money. That means inflation will keep…

AI systems may be influencing human judgment in ways that extend beyond convenience and into behavior. A new study published in the journal Science finds that leading AI models frequently validate users’ views, even when those views involve harmful or unethical actions. Researchers from Stanford University describe the pattern as “sycophancy,” a tendency for AI systems to agree with users rather than challenge them. The study examined 11 major AI models across multiple real-world scenarios, including everyday advice, moral conflicts and explicitly harmful situations. “Across 11 AI models, AI affirmed users’ actions 49% more often than humans on average, including…

He also dismisses prevailing narratives around geopolitical risk and market pessimism being thrown around by the mainstream media (MSM). “Some of the highest-quality businesses in the world are trading at extremely cheap prices.

Microsoft AI chief executive Mustafa Suleyman warns that a compute supply crunch is coming, and companies that fail to position for it will be left behind. In a new post on X, Suleyman says demand for AI compute will explode in the coming months, vastly outpacing supply while giving token providers pricing power.

In a new Bloomberg interview, Jim Caron, CIO of the Portfolio Solutions Group at Morgan Stanley Investment Management, says the market’s reaction to the oil price shock is very much expected. But Caron warns that the price shock could evolve into a deeper economic concern. “I think it’s important that we frame this in the right way right now because I think the way markets are thinking is they’re really thinking about it as…
The CEO of DoubleLine Capital says a global shift in capital flows is happening right now, obscured by the onslaught of headlines about hostilities in the Middle East. In a new interview with Julia La Roche, billionaire bond king Jeffrey Gundlach says US equities are now trading at a steep premium relative to the rest of the world. “The United States versus all the rest of the world stock market, excluding the United States, used to be at the same price-to-book ratio about 15-20 years ago. And now the price-to-book on the S&P 500 is more than double the price-to-book…
