Good afternoon and welcome to Markets Desk.
Bank of America is sounding a cautionary note today, warning that fund managers have piled into equities at the lowest cash levels since February two thousand twenty four. When positioning gets this crowded, history suggests the unwind can be swift, and BofA is flagging a potential June pullback as the risk to watch.
Feeding that concern, Evercore strategists are telling clients they're sitting dangerously exposed to two specific shocks — a spike in oil prices and a sudden lurch higher in Treasury yields. Their prescription is a rotation toward what they're calling all-weather stocks, names with pricing power and balance sheets sturdy enough to absorb macro turbulence without dragging portfolios down.
And on the AI front, Michael Burry — the investor who called the two thousand eight housing collapse — is drawing a direct line between today's artificial intelligence frenzy and the dot-com bubble of the late nineties. Writing on Substack, Burry called it, quote, just an asset bubble, plain and simple, pointing to stretched valuations and speculative momentum that he says mirror the euphoria that preceded a brutal market correction a generation ago.
That's the tape.
