Welcome to Markets Desk, your midday read on what's moving and why.
JPMorgan is making the case that the better AI trade right now isn't in Silicon Valley — it's in Asia. The bank argues that Asian tech stocks offer superior exposure to the U.S. AI buildout at valuations that American names simply can't match, and a softer dollar would only sweeten those returns further.
Shifting to energy, Morgan Stanley is sounding a serious alarm on crude. The bank warns that a closure of the Strait of Hormuz could send Brent to one hundred fifty dollars a barrel by summer — a scenario it's calling a race against time. Oil is already climbing to start the week, and the market is watching the geopolitical temperature in the Gulf very closely.
And over at Ark Invest, Cathie Wood was out bargain hunting after CoreWeave dropped eleven percent on Friday following weak forward guidance. Wood's move signals she sees the selloff as an entry point rather than a warning sign — consistent with her long-running bet that the infrastructure layer of AI is being undervalued by the broader market.
That's the tape.
