Fed's dilemma between AI and housing
Tension between the Federal Reserve's jobs and inflation mandates may be less worrisome than a dilemma over whether to focus on the spluttering housing market or rocketing tech infrastructure spending. By most metrics, the U.S. central bank is still missing its 2-per-cent inflation target, and neither market-based nor household inflation expectations express much confidence that it will meet it any time soon. And that's before factoring tariff rises. The debate about the labour market, meanwhile, is clouded by the modest layoffs and new jobless claims as well as the still low jobless rate, which likely reflects halted immigration and worker shortages. Intense political pressure aside, none of these standard checklists argue for the Fed to resume cutting interest rates with gusto - or even easing at all. But the central bank's conundrum on what to do next may be best captured by the contrast between the artificial intelligence boom and what increasingly looks like an ailing housing market. Easing now to support the latter would most likely supercharge the tech capex binge and kill any chance the Fed has of meeting its inflation goal. Yet keeping rates high to manage the excesses of the AI explosion could spell deeper trouble for a housing sector that accounts for well over 10 per cent of GDP. A gauge of U.S. homebuilder sentiment fell this month to its lowest level in more than two-and-a-half years, with more than a third of residential construction firms cutting prices and two-thirds offering some form of incentive to lure buyers put off by still-high mortgage rates. New housing inventory is near levels last seen in late 2007. Even though housing starts picked up in July, total permit issuance - a guide for future activity - fell 2.8 per cent to a five-year low. One major problem is rooted in homeowner stasis due to the previous period of ultra-low interest rates. While the average rate on a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage has started to fall, hitting a four-month low at 6.67 per cent in the week ended August 8, according to the Mortgage Bankers Association, it remains more than 2.5 percentage points above the average rate of all outstanding mortgages. With no portable mortgages from property to property, homeowners with cheap mortgages have been loath to sell and move given that they would need to obtain substantially pricier financing for any new home purchase. And this situation has helped push the median price on existing home sales above those on new home sales for the first time on reco This distortion forms one of the arguments for the Trump administration's push to get interest rates down urgently. But Jason Thomas, head of global research at Carlyle, has pointed out that there is another real estate trend the Fed needs to consider: the hundreds of billions of dollars being plowed into AI-related data centers - and pledges for trillions more - as this industry's breakneck pace is set to accelerate. Thomas reckons the massive demand for capital involved in this massive AI buildout - along with the huge demand on savings from a federal budget deficit projected at more than 6 per cent of GDP over the next three years - means lower interest rates now could create serious risks of overheating the entire economy. 'The issue is not whether high rates are 'crowding out' interest-sensitive sectors like for-sale housing. Clearly, they are. The question for policymakers is how much crowding out is necessary to meet price stability targets,' he wrote on Tuesday. 'The Fed has proven unable to hit its inflation target while high rates have depressed housing-related incomes and spending,' he concluded. 'What are the chances that target is hit after a series of rate cuts causes the sector to rebound?' Of course the Fed is setting policy that typically won't have a pronounced effect for at least a year, and it may decide the economic situation will be different by then. Higher unemployment may result from a weak housing sector, a tariff-related consumer retrenchment may ensue, or perhaps AI spending could slow down. But pre-empting those outcomes now would require a giant leap of faith rather than scientific forecasting. Inflation expectations and the long end of the bond market may pass harsh judgment on a hasty easing. Be smart with your money.

The Zacks Analyst Blog Highlights IonQ, Microsoft, Amazon.com, Alphabet and NVIDIA
For Immediate Release Chicago, IL – August 20, 2025 – announces the list of stocks featured in the Analyst Blog. Every day the Zacks Equity Research analysts discuss the latest news and events impacting stocks and the financial markets. Stocks recently featured in the blog include: IonQ, Inc. IONQ, Microsoft Corp. MSFT, Inc. AMZN, Alphabet Inc. GOOGL and NVIDIA Corp. NVDA. Here are highlights from Tuesday's Analyst Blog: Can IONQ Become the NVIDIA of Quantum Computing, and Is It a Buy? IonQ, Inc. 's shares surged 457.9% over the past year, driven by its significant advancements in quantum computing. IonQ has offered its customers quantum systems via platforms like Microsoft Corp. 's Azure, Inc. 's Amazon Web Services, and Alphabet Inc.'s Google Cloud. IonQ now aims to position itself as the NVIDIA Corp. of quantum computing. Will it be able to achieve this goal, and is this an opportune moment to invest in its shares? Let's find out – Reasons to Be Bullish on IONQ IonQ has prepared the groundwork for its quantum computers to seamlessly integrate into real-world applications. IonQ is preparing compatible trapped-ion quantum computers for major cloud platforms. IonQ has already acquired several companies, including Qubitekk, ID Quantique, and Lightsynq Technologies, to enhance its presence in the quantum field and has secured contracts from the U.S. Air Force Research Lab, which is expected to drive significant growth for the company in the next two years. IonQ's revenues have increased significantly since its initial public offering in 2021. Management projects revenues between $82 million and $100 million this year, significantly higher than $43.1 million in 2024. The company is on a positive trajectory, having reported second-quarter revenues of $20.7 million compared to $11.4 million last year, and anticipates third-quarter revenues of $25 million, nearly double the previous year's figures. This revenue growth indicates that the company's acquisition strategy is effective and its business model is solid. Can IONQ Become the NVIDIA in Quantum Computing? IonQ aspires to become the NVIDIA of quantum computing by relying on consistent revenue growth and successful acquisitions, with more anticipated in the future. However, despite revenue growth, IonQ hasn't generated any profit. In the second quarter, IonQ had an operating expense of $181.3 million, which resulted in an operating loss of $160.6 million, way more than $48.9 million loss a year ago. The operating loss exceeded revenue growth, which can compel IonQ to face financial challenges and jeopardize its aim to become the NVIDIA of quantum computing. NVIDIA, in reality, is in a better position to compete against pure-play quantum computing stocks like IonQ. This is because NVIDIA aims to integrate its graphics processing units (GPUs) and quantum processing units (QPUs) in a hybrid quantum system to efficiently manage calculation errors. Utilizing its GPU framework serves as an effective bridge from current classical computers to quantum technology. Additionally, in contrast to IonQ, NVIDIA has reported an operating income of $21.6 billion in the fiscal first quarter, up 28% year over year. Its revenues also jumped 69% year over year to $44.1 billion. Being a profitable enterprise will enable NVIDIA to effectively tackle the challenges of quantum computing and expand its operations. Therefore, it is premature to determine that IonQ could become the NVIDIA of quantum computing. Here's How to Trade IONQ Stock Now The series of acquisitions indicates that IonQ has bold plans to grow in the quantum computing industry, which is projected to reach a value of $100 billion by 2035, according to McKinsey. This should encourage stakeholders to remain invested in IonQ stock. However, new investors should proceed with caution. Quantum computing is still in its early stages, and IonQ is not yet profitable. Several leading CEOs have stated that the widespread use of quantum computing technology is still years away and that it remains prone to errors. Therefore, IonQ is a risky investment suitable only for high-risk-tolerance investors. Let's not forget that IonQ is an overpriced stock and could see its price fall when the market corrects itself. IonQ's forward price-to-sales (P/S) ratio stands at 126.59 compared to 4.14 for the Computer-Integrated System industry. For now, IonQ has a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold).
