Bloomberg Daybreak Asia: Nvidia, Nasdaq 100 Hit Record Highs
The US stock rally lost some steam Wednesday with the S&P 500 Index ending the day flat after Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell told lawmakers that officials are struggling to determine the toll of tariffs on inflation. The benchmark closed the session unchanged in New York after swinging between small gains and losses, while the technology heavy Nasdaq 100 Index edged up 0.2% to log another all-time closing high. The tech benchmark reached the milestone Tuesday for the first time since February as a combination of robust fundamentals and easing geopolitical tensions boosted the appeal of the growth-focused gauge. In individual stock moves, Nvidia shares closed at an all-time high, with the leader in artificial intelligence chips extending an advance that has cemented its position as one of the most valuable companies in the world. We get reaction to the day's price action from Katy Kaminski, Chief Research Strategist at AlphaSimplex. Plus - Hong Kong's de facto central bank bought the local dollar to prop it up on Thursday, in a move to defend the city's currency peg to the greenback. The Hong Kong Monetary Authority purchased HK$9.42 billion ($1.2 billion) of local currency against the US dollar, after the exchange rate touched the weak end of the permitted 7.75-7.85 per greenback trading band. In addition to pushing the currency back into its permitted trading range, the move will also make bearish bets more costly. It does this by draining liquidity from the financial system and driving up borrowing costs. We get reaction from Garfield Reynolds, Bloomberg's MLIV Asia Team Lead.

The 2 Main Reasons Why More Young Drivers Are Avoiding Dealerships
A new study from S&P Global Mobility has shown that the share of new vehicle registrations among 18 to 34-year-olds has fallen from 12% starting in Q1 2021 to below 10% in the past two quarters. Adults 55 or older represent half of all new vehicle registrations and have maintained the largest share for eight consecutive quarters (Q2 2023). Two primary factors influencing the decline in new vehicle purchases among 18 to 34-year-olds are rising costs and shifting attitudes toward ownership. Monthly auto payments have increased by 30% over the past four years, and almost one in every five finance agreements carries monthly costs exceeding $1,000. Kelley Blue Book reported the average price of a new car in May as $48,799, and younger drivers are increasingly turning to subscription-based vehicle services and used purchases. Europe currently leads the world in car subscription service usage among 18 to 34-year-olds, and Deloitte's Global Automotive Consumer Study found that based on 1,500 UK consumer responses, 28% in this age group were interested in subscription models. Car sharing, while growing slower and more unevenly than monthly vehicle subscriptions, is another alternative to new vehicle purchases gaining traction, which involves short-term rentals for specific trips. Others are relying on rideshare services, as Uber's CEO, Dara Khosrowshahi, shared how his son doesn't have his driver's license despite being over 18: "This drives me crazy. My son is over 18…I'm still trying to get my son to get his driver's license, but Uber's freed him up, Fortune reports." While younger drivers represent 9.9% of the total new vehicle registration volume, they were cited as offering the highest lifetime customer value for automakers. Jason Jordhamo, Marketing Director for Polk Automotive Solutions, an S&P Global Mobility company, said: "Monitoring the decline of young car buyers is essential to shape effective marketing investment strategies. As their share of new vehicle registrations shrinks, understanding the unique challenges and purchasing triggers for this group becomes increasingly important." Jordhamo suggests that marketers focus on advanced audience targeting, emphasizing in-market shoppers instead of demographic-based buying, use these audiences across all marketing channels, and invest in more personalized advertising. According to S&P's data, 18 to 34-year-olds accounted for nearly 1.1 million new vehicle registrations from April 2024 to March 2025. Compact utility vehicles were most popular among this demographic at 21% of segment volume, almost double the age group's 9.9% total volume. Compact cars came in second place at 13%, and 18 to 34-year-old drivers were more likely to go fully electric than select a hybrid. Economic realities and new mobility options are increasing the distance between 18 to 34-year-olds and new vehicle registrations, raising the likelihood of dealerships embracing more flexible sales options. These strategic channels could include greater investments in lease incentives or integrating models like car subscriptions, and thus benefit from engaging all potential buyers based on factors like intent and preferences.

Legendary fund manager makes bold S&P 500 prediction as stocks near all-time highs
It's been a remarkable ride since President Donald Trump announced widespread tariffs on April 2. Trump's so-called "Liberation Day" announcement included harsher tariff rates than hoped, forcing investors to rethink their expectations for the U.S. economy. There's evidence that a U.S. economic slowdown is underway, and despite tariff negotiations, tariffs could still push the economy into stagflation or recession. The economic risk raises questions over what's likely to happen to stocks, which usually perform best when a humming economy fattens wallets, allowing households and businesses to ramp up spending. The post-Liberation Day stock market drop lopped 19% and 24% off the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite, respectively, from all-time highs in February. Related: Wall Street veteran analyst who predicted stock market rally resets forecast The decline was concerning, but "buy the dip" investors took advantage, boosting buys into extremely negative sentiment with most measures flashing "oversold." Since April 9, when President Trump paused most reciprocal tariffs that had been announced on April 2, the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 have rocketed higher, gaining 22% and 30%. The returns have been so significant that major market indexes, including the benchmark S&P 500, are flirting with all-time highs again, prompting veteran Wall Street bond manager Bill Gross to chime in with an updated outlook. Gross has been navigating good and bad markets since 1971. He is the co-founder of Pacific Investment Management Co., or PIMCO, a Goliath money manager with $2 trillion under management. His former role atop the $270 billion PIMCO Total Return Fund earned him the "Bond King" moniker before he left to join Janus Henderson Investors from 2014 to 2019. Given his long track record, investors may want to pay attention to what he's thinking happens next. Many are debating what may happen to the economy next. Some believe that tariffs will tax already cash-strapped consumers later this year, slowing economic activity, as businesses also crimp spending awaiting trade deal insight. Others think tariff risks are fleeting and overblown. The jobs market remains healthy, given that unemployment is relatively low at 4.2%. However, the unemployment rate was 3.4% in 2023, and companies have announced over 696,000 layoffs this year, including 93,816 job cuts in May, up 47% year over year, according to Challenger, Grey, & Christmas. Related: Analyst sends blunt 8-word message ahead of trade deal deadline The weakening jobs market prompted the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates by 1% last year; however, it has since gone to the sidelines, pausing further cuts, over fear that more reductions could fuel inflation, particularly given that the tariff impact is only beginning to be felt by consumers and businesses. The dilly-dallying on monetary policy has prompted sharp criticism, though, including from the White House. Ostensibly, recognizing that tariffs may slow GDP and worsen unemployment, President Trump has threatened to fire Fed Chair Jerome Powell, and his Director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, William (Bill) Pulte, has called for his resignation. If the economy cools and the Fed is unwilling to budge on interest rates, Congress may not be able to help, given that the country's huge deficit and mountain of debt are impacting fiscal policy. America's deficit exceeds $1.8 trillion, accounting for 6.4% of gross domestic product. At the same time, total public debt outstanding is roughly 122% of GDP, far higher than its 75% level in 2008 during the Great Recession. The economic backdrop threatens earnings growth, but the stock market has so far looked beyond the risks, assuming that trade negotiations will bear fruit, inflation expectations will retreat, and corporate earnings will continue growing, rather than ratchet lower. The fact that Bill Gross has been tracking Wall Street for over 50 years means he's seen plenty of stock market pops and drops, including the Nifty 50, skyrocketing inflation in the 1970s, the S&L crisis in the late 80s and early 90s, the Internet boom and bust, the Great Recession, Covid, and the 2002 bear market. More Experts Fed official sends strong message about interest-rate cutsBillionaire fund manager sends surprising message on trade deficitHedge-fund manager sees U.S. becoming Greece In short, Gross has been-there, done-that, so his take on markets is worth paying attention to. He doesn't see much reason to be a buyer of US Treasuries. Many turn to Treasuries as a safe haven amid economic or geopolitical worry. Given the economic risks listed above, the ongoing Russia/Ukraine War, and a dust-up in the Middle East, we certainly have that. Yet, Treasury yields haven't made much progress lower (remember yields fall when bond prices rise and vice versa). Gross doesn't think there's much incentive for them to fall much further. "Long-term research indicates US 10 year has traded at CPI plus 175," wrote Gross on X. "With inflation at 2.5% that puts a 10 year at 4.25% or so. That was history - but deficits/ensuing supply of bonds/and a weak dollar should keep CPI from falling below 2.5% and the 10-year from falling below 4.25%." The 10-year Treasury note yield is currently 4.29%. As a result, he predicts a "little bear market for bonds." With little incentive to shift portfolios towards Treasuries for gains, what does that mean for stocks? "Stocks are AI-dominated and continue to suggest 1-2% economic growth despite tariffs and geopolitical unrest," wrote Gross. "I suggest a "little bull market" for stocks." Undeniably, artificial intelligence stocks continue to win favor with investors as companies big and small look for ways to exploit it for profit growth. After a pause earlier this year, technology stocks have turned it on lately. The SPDR Technology ETF (XLK) is up about 8% in June alone, and unlike the S&P 500, it has already notched a new all-time high. That said, don't get too excited. Gross doesn't seem to expect much more upside than we've already witnessed. "Nothing dramatic either way for now," concluded Gross.
