Today’s CPI coming in below expectations definitely helps the liquidity narrative. Softer inflation reduces pressure on yields and gives the market room to price in a more dovish path. That’s supportive for risk assets, especially long-duration tech. That said, one print doesn’t make a full pivot. Markets usually need a trend of cooling data before calling it a true liquidity turn. It’s a positive start, but confirmation still matters.

Market Shocks: AI, Cisco, Rates

AI remains a long term bull but near term earnings uncertainty is fueling and sharper pullbacks rather than a straight line rallyMargins are key now expect short term volatility and selective dipsFocus on profitable AI infra, energy and select financials

We are indeed entering an 'AI volatility phase,' rather than a pure AI bull market. This perspective is the right mindset.

with rate cuts potentially delayed to July, the bank stocks have been granted a reprieve from the net interest margin compression concern.

AI's disruptions are now spreading into more bread and butter, brick and mortar sectors. Hopefully this will strengthen the AI companies, and eventually, the whole US economy, benefiting all.
