Bloomberg Surveillance hosted by Tom Keene & Paul SweeneyMay 12th, 2025
Featuring:
1) Geoffrey Yu, Senior Strategist: EMEA at BNY, talks about the market reaction to the US-China trade agreement and why the worst-case scenarios for markets are now a thing of the past. Investors rushed back into US assets, powering a 3% surge in S&P 500 futures, after China and the US agreed to cut tariffs and de-escalate their trade war.
2) Jordan Rochester, Head: FICC Macro Strategy EMEA at Mizuho, on the "Sell America" narrative getting squeezed as the US dollar strengthens. The dollar topped a one-month high on the US-China trade talks, while gold fell more than 3% and the 10-year Treasury yield climbed five basis points to 4.42%.
3) Lori Calvasina, Chief US Equity Strategist at RBC Capital Markets, joins for an extended discussion on equity relief post-US-China trade talks and whether she expects further choppiness. Every S&P 500 sector has advanced since President Trump's April 9 pause on his harshest tariffs, with gains led by information technology, industrials, and consumer discretionary segments.
4) Huw van Steenis, Vice Chair at Oliver Wyman, on how international investors will re-balance their portfolios in reaction to US-China trade talks. Market breadth indicators, such as the 40-Week Technique Indicator and the S&P 500's cumulative advance-decline line, are signaling optimism and strength in the market, with some strategists boosting their allocation to stocks.
5) Dan Ives, Global Head: Technology at Wedbush Securities, talks about why the result from Treasury Secretary Bessent's negotiations are the "best case scenario" for tech. Nvidia, Apple, Amazon, and Tesla took off in premarket trading following the announcement on trade.
