Dividends shine as tech cools

科技降温，股息闪耀
Core conclusion · Tlines extraction
Amundi argues markets have moved past rewarding AI announcements alone and now demand evidence of cash flow and profitability from large AI capital spending. The MSCI World Technology Index gave back its prior month's gains, while the MSCI World High Dividend Yield Index rose 8% in the second half, helped by staples, healthcare and utilities. Amundi sees this as a rotation toward attractively valued cash-returning sectors and a diversification opportunity, though it still expects AI to lift long-term productivity and to separate winners from losers.

Key arguments
- Markets now require clarity on cash generation from sizeable AI investments, not just rollout announcements.
- Dividend-paying sectors held up as the broader market came under pressure, supporting diversification.
- AI should still deliver long-term productivity gains, but winners and losers will be increasingly distinguished.
- A divided US economy: firm labour market alongside housing weakness under elevated borrowing costs.
Key numbers
- MSCI World High Dividend Yield Index H2 gain
- 8%
- MSCI World Technology Index
- Gave back all of prior month's gains
- Eurozone composite PMI (October, preliminary)

- US initial jobless claims (week ending 17 October)
- 194,000
- US housing starts (September, annualised)
- 1.22 million
Main risks
- Persistent inflation could prompt central banks to raise rates, pressuring gold and valuations.
- Fiscal concerns in some countries are pushing bond yields higher despite safe-haven demand elsewhere.
- Middle East tensions are affecting oil prices, adding commodity volatility.
Corresponding source evidence
Gold prices declined amid concerns that persistent inflation could prompt central banks to raise interest rates.
The housing sector, however, continues to struggle: September housing starts fell to an annualised 1.22 million units, sharply below forecasts and down from the prior month.
All three readings remain above the 50 threshold separating expansion from contraction, but the pace of growth is clearly decelerating.
