Chicago Bulls rumors point to trade involving multi-time All-Star
It may be a new offseason for the Chicago Bulls, but it's largely the same story as before. For the third consecutive season, the Bulls' front office is tasked with improving a roster that fell short of reaching the playoffs in the previous year. There are no quick fixes. Unlike the Dallas Mavericks, the Bulls don't have the first pick, they're not in line to land a potential superstar in the 2025 NBA Draft, where Chicago holds the 12th overall selection. Advertisement However, according to Sam Amico of the Bulls will be trying to trade two-time All-Star Nikola Vucevic this offseason. Of course, for basketball fans who have paid close attention, this is nothing new. Vooch has been on the trade block for several years, but Chicago hasn't been able to find a trade partner presenting a respectable offer for their talented starting center. Vucevic is coming off his seventh consecutive season of averaging a double-double, meaning he's still playing at a high level, even at age 34. However, he's also headed into season two of a three-year, $60 million contract and is set to have a cap hit of $20 million in 2025. Chicago is likely seeking at least a first-round pick in exchange for the Swiss native. Whether any team is willing to pay the price remains to be seen.

Trading Day: Market inflection points abound
By Jamie McGeever ORLANDO, Florida (Reuters) - TRADING DAY Making sense of the forces driving global markets By Jamie McGeever, Markets Columnist Stocks and the dollar rose solidly on Tuesday even though markets lacked a central, driving force - signs of weakening economic activity, cooling labor markets and disinflation are all reasons for caution, but risk appetite continues to be fueled by hopes that U.S.-China trade tensions will soon ease. In my column today I look at why foreign investors' exposure to U.S. assetsmay not be as high as feared. If it's not, the potential downside for Wall Street and Treasuries from diversification may be less severe. More on that below, but first, a roundup of the main market moves. If you have more time to read, here are a few articles I recommend to help you make sense of what happened in markets today. 1. Markets anxious as 'new cold war' turns hot: Mike Dolan 2. FX options market positioned for further dollar weakness 3. OECD lowers global outlook as Trump trade war hits 4. Japan to promote domestic ownership of JGBs, policydraft shows 5. G7 debt is now a pressure point for anxious markets Today's Key Market Moves * The S&P 500 hits a three-month high, rising 0.6% on theday, and the Nasdaq hits its highest level since February aftera 0.7% rise. * The dollar rebounds 0.6%, but only after plumbing afresh six-week low. It gains most vs yen, Swiss franc andSwedish krona, up 1% against all three. * One of the quietest days in weeks for the U.S. bondmarket, with the 10- and 30-year yields recording their smallestmoves since May 9. Each barely moves a basis point. * Oil rises for a second day, with Brent and WTI futuresup around 2%, on geopolitical tensions and supply worries. * Gold slips almost 1% but earlier in the day hits$3,392/oz, its highest since May 8. Market inflection points abound Evidence is mounting that global economic activity is slowing, but this is failing to move the dial much for markets. Investors know growth is slowing and that the second half of the year will be challenging, so that's already 'in the price'. Hopes of a de-escalation in the trade standoff between the U.S. and China, and for bilateral deals between the U.S. and other key trading partners soon are supporting risk assets. The S&P 500 hit a three-month high on Tuesday, while the Nasdaq and MSCI World index climbed to levels last visited in February. It is the strength on Wall Street, most latterly tech, that is lifting global stocks as benchmark Asian and European indices are flatlining. On the whole, policymakers continue to stress that they are data-dependent and will move on rates carefully and calmly. That was the message from various Fed officials this week and Bank of England Governor Andrew Bailey on Tuesday. It's a slightly different - although no less challenging - situation in mainland Europe, where figures on Tuesday showed disinflationary forces are driving consumer prices as much as anything else. Euro zone inflation dipped below the European Central Bank's 2% target in May, cementing expectations rates will be cut this week and later this year. Meanwhile, Switzerland experienced outright year-on-year deflation for the first time in four years, raising the possibility that the Swiss National Bank may soon reintroduce negative interest rates. Canada's central bank is expected to hold interest rates at 2.75% on Wednesday for a second meeting. Growth and inflation have been surprisingly sticky this year, and rates have been slashed by 225 basis points since last June. As UBS analysts note, markets are generally at an inflection point, waiting for the catalyst that will break them out of the narrow ranges that have broadly held since the U.S. and China announced a temporary reduction on tariffs on May 12. Even Wall Street and the dollar - one creeping higher, the other drifting lower - are awaiting a trigger for a proper breakout. Could the telephone call between U.S. President Donald Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping expected later this week be it? Foreign exposure to U.S. assets may be lower than feared It is widely believed that investors around the world have a disproportionately high exposure to U.S. assets, particularly stocks, an imbalance that could roil U.S. markets if corrected. But what if these fears are overblown? Several eye-popping statistics suggest that America's weight in world financial markets is even greater than its outsized economic might. Most strikingly, the U.S. net international investment position (NIIP), or foreign investors' holdings of U.S. assets less U.S. investors' holdings of overseas assets, at the end of 2024 was $26 trillion. That's nearly 24% of global GDP, up from 16% only two years earlier, a surge driven by foreigners' insatiable appetite for U.S. equities, mainly "Big Tech". Demand was so hot that, by some measures, the value of U.S.-listed stocks at the turn of the year represented 74% of total global market cap. That share was 60% six years ago, and less than half in 2011. But the attractiveness of dollar-denominated assets is now being questioned, as the often erratic policies of U.S. President Donald Trump have upset longstanding economic and geopolitical norms, making governments and investors question whether Washington is still a reliable partner on the global stage. The concern is that this eroding confidence triggers a reversal of the massive flows into Wall Street seen in recent years that has damaging spillover effects. Such a correction may not require outright selling. Given the scale of the flows involved, just less buying among foreign investors could be enough to cast a shadow over the world's most important stock market. And the running assumption is foreign investors don't have the capacity or willingness to increase their exposure to U.S. assets, creating a significant long-term downside risk for Wall Street, Treasuries and the dollar. "A structural shift is underway: the slow erosion of US economic dominance," analysts at Deutsche Bank wrote on Monday. SKEPTICAL But looked at another way, foreign exposure to U.S. assets may not be as high as initially meets the eye. That's the view of analysts at JP Morgan, who measure portfolio investment in U.S. bonds and equities as a share of countries' total household sector financial assets. They use a broad definition for a country's "household" sector, covering investments by institutions like insurance companies and pension funds that are ultimately made on behalf of households. Using a broad range of data, from central banks, U.S. Treasury and OECD household financial asset flows, they measure the ratio of U.S. equity and bond holdings relative to household financial assets in each country. They find that "relative to the total financial assets of households in the rest of the world, the allocations to U.S. assets typically stand at around 10-20%." As a result, they are "skeptical of the idea that foreign investors hold too much of U.S. assets." Given that U.S. equities account for more than 70% of the MSCI global market cap and dollar-denominated bonds represent around 50% of global bond indices, according to JP Morgan estimates, the 10-20% exposure of foreign investors to U.S. assets does appear surprisingly low. And the 10-20% figure would be even lower were it not for the outsized U.S. equity holdings at the Swiss National Bank and Norway's sovereign wealth fund. On the bond side, foreigners' footprint in the U.S. Treasury market is shrinking. Data shows that they owned 31% of the $28.55 trillion outstanding Treasury debt at the end of last year. That share has been declining steadily since the Global Financial Crisis. In 2008, the figure was approaching 60%. Overseas investors' share of the T-bill market has shrunk even more. In December, it was under 20%, near its lowest level on record and sharply down from 50% a decade before. Nikolaos Panigirtzoglou and his team at JP Morgan aren't arguing investors will or should ramp up their purchases of U.S. assets. And in cases where allocations are high - such as the Taiwanese exposure to U.S. bonds or Canadians' holdings of U.S. stocks - diversification would hardly be a surprise. But there is "little indication" of broad-based selling of U.S. assets by foreign investors so far this year, they note. And if that selling does materialize, it may be far lighter than many expect. What could move markets tomorrow? * Australia GDP (Q1) * South Korea inflation (May) * South Korea GDP (Q1, revised) * UK services PMI (May) * Canada interest rate decision * U.S. services ISM (May) * U.S. ADP employment (May) * Federal Reserve releases Beige Book Opinions expressed are those of the author.

Morgan Stanley thinks the dollar has further to fall
Morgan Stanley predicts the US Dollar Index will fall by 9% over the next 12 months. The bank's strategists cite factors such as interest rate cuts and the rising strength of other currencies. Some investors are doubting the dollar's enduring status as a safe-haven asset. Morgan Stanley thinks the dollar has further to fall — to levels last reached during the pandemic — driven lower by interest rate cuts and the strength of rival currencies. Strategists at the investment bank wrote in a report published over the weekend that they anticipate a 9% fall over the next 12 months to a value of 91 on the dollar index. The index measures the value against a basket of six currencies: the euro, yen, pound, Swiss franc, Canadian dollar, and Swedish krona. They said the greenback had declined faster than expected, already slumping to its year-end target price of 101 last month. It stood at 98.9 on Tuesday. The dollar's weakness is forecast to be most acute against safe-haven currencies such as the euro, yen, and franc, according to Morgan Stanley. "We think rates and currency markets have embarked on sizeable trends that will be sustained — taking the US dollar much lower and yields curves much steeper — after two years of swing trading within wide ranges," the strategists said. They forecast a rise in the value of the euro against the dollar to $1.25 and the pound to $1.45 by mid-2026. The US dollar index has fallen more than 10% since its mid-January highs of almost 110 reached soon before the inauguration of President Donald Trump and based on the expectation of rate cuts by the Federal Reserve. The index rose again in February, but has since reversed course amid Trump's tariffs and ensuing trade war. The strategists forecast the yield on 10-year Treasurys to stand at 4% by the end of this year. "Treasury yields stage a much larger decline in 2026 as the Fed delivers 175 basis points of rate cuts on the back of weaker real growth and inflation moving back to target," they wrote. Morgan Stanley expects US GDP growth to come in at 1% both this year and in 2026. "Beyond tariffs, immigration restrictions also weigh on US growth, while we are skeptical of meaningful support from fiscal policy or deregulation," its economists wrote. The OECD said on Tuesday that the US economy would expand by 1.6% in 2025, down from its previous forecast of 2.8%.
