Stocks Climb on Hopes of Easing US-China Trade Tensions
The S&P 500 Index ($SPX) (SPY) today is up +0.21%, the Dow Jones Industrials Index ($DOWI) (DIA) is up +0.11%, and the Nasdaq 100 Index ($IUXX) (QQQ) is up +0.46%. June E-mini S&P futures (ESM25) are up +0.21%, and June E-mini Nasdaq futures (NQM25) are up +0.42%. Stock indexes recovered from early losses and are moving higher today, with the Nasdaq 100 reaching a 3 1/2-month high. Stocks are climbing on hopes that trade tensions will ease between the US and China after China's state media Xinhua News Agency reported that US President Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping spoke by telephone today. President Xi agreed to more talks with Mr. Trump and urged the US to remove 'negative' measures that have roiled trade tensions between the two countries. The Chinese president also said the countries should work to reduce misunderstandings and that Trump was welcome to visit China. Stocks also garnered support from today's economic news that showed the US trade deficit in April shrank to a 20-month low, a positive factor for Q2 GDP. Stocks were under early pressure today on concerns about the US labor market after weekly jobless claims unexpectedly rose to a 7-3/4 month high. Also, today's downward revision to US Q1 nonfarm productivity and upward revision to Q1 unit labor costs were bearish for stocks. In addition, higher bond yields are negative for stocks as the 10-year T-note yield is up +3 bp to 4.39% as it rebounded from a 4-week low of 4.31% on negative carryover from a slide in 10-year German bunds after ECB President Lagarde said the ECB was nearing the end to its rate cutting cycle. US weekly initial unemployment claims unexpectedly rose +8,000 to a 7-3/4 month high of 247,000, showing a weaker labor market than expectations of a decline to 235,000. The US Apr trade deficit shrank to a 20-month low of -$61.6 billion, narrower than expectations of -$66.0 billion. US Q1 nonfarm productivity was revised lower to -1.5% from -0.8%. Q1 unit labor costs were revised upward to 6.6% from the previously reported 5.7%. Comments Wednesday evening from Minneapolis Fed President Kashkari signal he favors keeping interest rates steady when he said, 'The economy is seeming like it's pretty resilient so far, and so for me right now is the time to get data, see how the tariff negotiations shake out before we reach any firm conclusions about the direction of interest rates.' The markets are discounting the chances at 1% for a -25 bp rate cut at the next FOMC meeting on June 17-18. The markets this week will focus on any fresh trade or tariff news. On Friday, May nonfarm payrolls are expected to climb +125,000, and the May unemployment rate is expected to remain unchanged at 4.2%. Finally, May average hourly earnings are expected to rise +0.3% m/m and +3.7% y/y. Overseas stock markets today are mixed. The Euro Stoxx 50 is up +0.02%. China's Shanghai Composite climbed to a 1-1/2 week high and closed up +0.23%. Japan's Nikkei Stock 225 closed down -0.51%. Interest Rates September 10-year T-notes (ZNU2 5) today are down -5 ticks. The 10-year T-note yield is up +3.0 bp to 4.385%. Sep T-notes today fell from a 4-week high, and the 10-year T-note yield rose from a 4-week low of 4.310% and is moving higher. T-notes gave up early gains today and turned lower as stocks rallied on hopes of easing US-Chian trade tensions after the Xinhua news agency reported that President Trump and President Xi Jinping spoke by telephone today. T-notes also have a negative carryover from a slide in 10-year German bunds on hawkish comments from ECB President Lagarde, who said the ECB is nearing the end of its rate-cutting cycle. In addition, T-notes fell after today's news that showed US Q1 nonfarm productivity was revised downward and Q1 unit labor costs were revised higher. T-notes today initially moved higher when weekly US jobless claims unexpectedly rose to a 7-3/4 month high, a sign of labor market weakness and a dovish factor for Fed policy. Also, an easing in inflation expectations is bullish for T-notes after the US 10-year breakeven inflation rate fell to a 3-week low today at 2.297%. European government bond yields today are moving higher. The 10-year German bund yield rebounded from a 4-week low of 2.476% and is up +5.8 bp to 2.587%. The 10-year UK gilt yield rebounded from a 3-1/2 week low of 4.554% and is up +2.1 bp to 4.628%. Eurozone Apr PPI fell -2.2% m/m and rose +0.7% y/y, weaker than expectations of -2.1% m/m and +1.1% y/y. German Apr factory orders unexpectedly rose +0.6% m/m, stronger than expectations of -1.5% m/m. The ECB, as expected, cut the deposit facility rate by -25 bp to 2.00% from 2.25% and said, 'Inflation is currently at around the Governing Council's 2% medium-term target.' ECB President Lagarde said risks to growth 'tilted to the downside' as recent survey data points to weaker near-term prospects for the Eurozone economy. However, a stronger labor market and rising incomes will help the economy, and she wouldn't exclude further upward revisions to growth. She added that the ECB is getting toward the end of its rate cut cycle with today's rate cut. Swaps are discounting the chances at 42% for a -25 bp rate cut by the ECB at the July 24 policy meeting. US Stock Movers The strength of chip makers is supportive of the broader market. Micron Technology (MU) is up more than +4% to lead gainers in the Nasdaq 100. Also, ARM Holdings NV (ARM), Texas Instruments (TXN), ASML Holding NV (ASML), Applied Materials (AMAT), and Microchip Technology (MCHP) are up more than +1%. In addition, Lam Research (LRCX) and Analog Devices (ADI) are up more than +0.90%. Mining stocks are climbing today as the price of gold rose to a 4-week high and silver prices soared to a 13-year high. As a result, Freeport-McMoRan (FCX) is up more than +4%, and Anglogold Ashanti Plc (AU) is up more than +1%.

Broadcom Slides on Solid Earnings, AI Outlook Still Strong
[content-module:CompanyOverview|NASDAQ:AVGO] Given Broadcom's (NASDAQ: AVGO) explosive up moves after its past two earnings releases, many investors were likely hopeful to see fireworks again on June 5. The chip giant's price action would disappoint, but it should not discourage investors. Broadcom's fiscal Q2 earnings were solid by all accounts. Additionally, management provided some helpful commentary, despite deflecting some of the analysts' most pressing questions. Broadcom's Financials and Guidance Were Right on the Money Both on the top and bottom lines, Broadcom's fiscal Q2 2025 results came in almost exactly in line with expectations. The company's revenues of $15 billion resulted in growth of above 20%. This barely beat growth expectations of just under 20%. The company's adjusted earnings per share of $1.58 beat expectations of $1.57. The figure resulted in an earnings growth rate of under 44%, surpassing estimates of just under 43% growth. In terms of guidance, the company forecasted revenue of approximately $15.8 billion for fiscal Q3. This implies a growth rate of 21%, a sprinkle above estimates. Broadcom also predicted its adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) margin to come in at 'at least' 66%. This implies a small contraction from the 67% figure it achieved in fiscal Q2. Tan's Takes: Business Remains Booming, but No Seismic Updates Revealed Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Hock Tan said the company's three hyper-scale customers and four potential ones are 'unwavering' in their AI investment plans. This is true even with the current macroeconomic challenges. The company backed this up by providing AI semiconductor guidance of $5.1 billion in fiscal Q3, which would be an increase of 60%. Additionally, the company confirmed that, based on current visibility, it expects this growth rate to continue through fiscal 2025 and fiscal 2026. This is a particularly positive sign, indicating that demand is not expected to slow down anytime soon. However, to the chagrin of analysts, Tan firmly refused to give insights on when revenue contributions for its prospective customers might come. Tan said the company would likely not provide updates on this until sometime in fiscal 2026. He also refused to provide any type of updates to the company's serviceable addressable market (SAM) estimates. Tan provided notable news on the company's infrastructure software segment, particularly when it came to moving VMware customers from perpetual licenses to subscriptions. This has been key to the company's software success. Shifting customers to subscriptions boosts recurring revenue. It also upsells them to a more comprehensive package. Now, 87% of the company's 10,000 largest VMware customers have transitioned to the subscription model, a significant increase from just 70% a quarter ago. Tan added that two-thirds of the overall customer base have transitioned, moderately up from 60% last quarter. Another interesting highlight was the company's AI networking revenue. This came in strong at 40% of total AI revenue, the same as the prior quarter. The company expected this figure to drop closer to 30%, but it hasn't. The company continues to guide that, on average, AI networking will make up around 30% of total AI revenue over time. Tan said the company was experiencing a positive surprise in AI networking. He said that 'scale-up' data center server architectures are increasingly adopting Ethernet. Scale-up refers to when server racks pack compute chips more densely. Meanwhile, "scale-out" architectures increase computing capacity by adding more server racks across a data center. Scale-up architecture requires 5 to 10 times higher switch density than scale-out architectures. This creates a significant need for the company's new high-capacity Tomahawk 6 switch chips, which offer leading-edge port density and bandwidth. Broadcom Shares Fall Moderately, But Remain Barely Off All-Time Highs [content-module:Forecast|NASDAQ:AVGO] By the end of after-hours trading, shares were down around 4%. Broadcom's share drop shows mild disappointment in its financials. It is also indicative of the fact that there was no groundbreaking news in the call. Still, it's hard to be overly disappointed. The stock was trading very close to an all-time high before the result. At the conclusion of after-hours trading, shares were down less than 5% from their all-time closing high. The market will want to see much larger beats to send shares soaring, as in past quarters. Getting more information around contributions from prospective AI-chip customers could also do the trick. Potential analyst upgrades may also propel shares higher as information from these earnings gets digested further. Overall, things at Broadcom are going according to plan.
