Bloomberg Daybreak Asia: US, Japan Reach Trade Deal; Mag Seven in Focus

Bloomberg19 hours ago
The record-breaking run in global stocks got fresh fuel to power the rally after the US reached a trade deal with Japan, an agreement with a key trading partner that eases concerns about the tariff war. MSCI's benchmark gauges for global equities and Asian shares both rose Wednesday. Contracts for the S&P 500 edged up on the tariff news after closing at its highest level Tuesday. Stocks in Japan jumped more than 2% with Toyota Motor Corp. and other automakers leading the gains. We break down the day's developments with David Aspell, Partner and Co-Chief Investment Officer at Mount Lucas Management. Plus - investors are also focused on megacap companies this week. Big Tech's strength will be on full display over the next few weeks as the group begins unveiling quarterly earnings. Tesla Inc. and Alphabet Inc. are reporting Wednesday. The so-called Magnificent Seven companies are expected to post a combined 14% rise in second-quarter profits, while earnings for the rest of the US equity benchmark are predicted to be relatively flat, according to Bloomberg Intelligence data. We discuss the role AI will play in those reports with Stephanie Leung, Chief Investment Officer at StashAway.

Google beats on Q2 earnings, raises capex expeditures

Google parent Alphabet (GOOG, GOOGL) reported its second quarter earnings after the bell on Wednesday, beating expectations on the top and bottom lines on the strength of its advertising and cloud businesses. But the company said capital expenditures will climb to $85 billion. Google previously projected $75 billion. "AI is positively impacting every part of the business, driving strong momentum," CEO Sundar Pichai said in a statement. "Search delivered double-digit revenue growth, and our new features, like AI Overviews and AI Mode, are performing well. We continue to see strong performance in YouTube as well as subscriptions offerings. And Cloud had strong growth in revenues, backlog and profitability. Its annual revenue run-rate is now more than $50 billion.' For the quarter, Google saw adjusted earnings per share (EPS) of $2.31 on revenue excluding traffic acquisition costs (TAC) of $81.2 billion. Analysts were anticipating Adj. EPS of $2.17 on revenue ex-TAC of $79.6 billion. The company posted revenue of $71.3 billion during the same period last year. Advertising revenue came in at $71.3 billion versus expectations of $69.6 billion. Search revenue topped out at $54.1 billion versus an anticipated $52.7 billion. YouTube ad revenue was $9.8 billion versus expectations of $9.5 billion. Google Cloud Platform revenue hit $13.6 billion. Analysts were looking for $13.1 billion.

This year, the company is expected to drop $75 billion expanding its AI capabilities, including on massive data centers running on both its own home-grown chips and Nvidia's processors. Google is also facing potentially devastating consequences from a judge's decision that held it liable for antitrust violations in search. Judge Amit Mehta of the US District Court for the District of Columbia is expected to issue a ruling on "remedies" that follows the Justice Department's victory against the company sometime next month. Judge Mehta held that Google violated antitrust law by boxing out rivals in the online search engine and online search text markets. To restore competition, he could order Google to refrain from longstanding exclusivity deals with the likes of Apple (AAPL) that set Google Search as the default option on the company's smartphones. Mehta could also force Google to sell off its Chrome browser, the most popular web browser in the world. That would put a dent in Google's all-important search business, a dangerous proposition for the company. Email Daniel Howley at dhowley@ Follow him on X/Twitter at @DanielHowley.
