description: "Perpetual anticipates further declines in US tech stocks due to rising capital costs constraining AI investment. While intense competition supports AI spending and US growth, it adds inflationary pressure. Persistent inflation suggests further Federal Reserve and RBA tightening, with larger US increases likely. Australian markets price an 80% chance of one more rate hike, deemed insufficient by Perpetual. Longer-term bond yields are expected to trade within a range consistent with a 5-5.25% peak federal funds rate."

# Perpetual sees further US tech stock declines as AI investment costs rise

-   Perpetual expects further US technology share declines as higher capital costs constrain AI investment spending. \* Intense competition should sustain substantial AI investment, supporting US growth while adding inflationary pressure. \* Persistent inflation points to further Federal Reserve and RBA tightening, with larger increases likely in the US. \* Australian markets price an 80% chance of one further rate increase, which the analysis considers insufficient to restore inflation to target. \* Longer-term bond yields should trade within a range, with current pricing consistent with a 5-5.25% peak federal funds rate.
