石油、通胀、美联储不确定性、科技股整合以及日本相关头条新闻吸引了人们的注意，但市场在应对这些干扰时压力有限。
更广泛的市场背景仍然具有建设性，就业增长稳健，盈利具有韧性，通胀压力缓解，金融压力迹象有限。
并非每一次市场干扰都会改变结果。投资者或许更应该保持专注，而不是被戏剧性的头条新闻所吸引。
我曾在一场大学橄榄球比赛中跟随一位美联社摄影师。那是一次迷人的经历，不仅仅因为我学到了摄影方面的知识，还因为我对视角有了认识，这作为一位观察股市的全球市场策略师一直铭记于心。原因如下。有一次，一名球员受伤倒地。当训练师冲进球场时，一群摄影师也冲向现场，想要拍下受伤球员痛苦躺地的照片。
我跟随的那位摄影师没有动。他只是轻蔑地看着其他摄影师。他解释说，他们追拍的这张照片只有在伤病是灾难性的且涉及知名球员时才有意义。如果那样的话，照片会登遍各家报纸的头版。但大多数伤病并不会改变比赛结果，也不值得上报纸头版。大多数只是更大故事中的小插曲。“我宁愿为下一个回合做好准备，”他说。这就是我铭记的教训。
过去几个月里，面对市场上各种戏剧性的头条新闻，我常常想到这一点。
在全球经济和金融市场中，不乏有理由关注“伤痛”。中东战争。油价上涨。1对总体通胀的担忧。2美联储（Fed）的沟通不如许多投资者所愿般频繁。科技股在显著上涨后的回调。3日本央行对日元市场的干预。4
这些动态中的每一项都产生了戏剧性的头条新闻和对未来麻烦的自信预测。公平地说，如果我专注于这些风险，做出足够悲观的判断，并且恰好是对的，也许我的照片也能登上报纸。但我更愿意关注更大的棋局。
以油价为例。曾令许多投资者担忧的飙升早在4月初就已见顶。5 通货膨胀？基于市场的通胀预期一直在下降，而非上升。6 对美联储更为鹰派的担忧？市场已经消化了大约相当于两次额外加息的影响，而信贷市场7 甚至标普500 等权重指数都几乎没有出现压力迹象。8 事实上，鉴于通胀预期已经下降，我仍然押注实际加息次数会少于两次。
那么科技股呢？是的，出现了一些整合，9 但这发生在强劲的盈利增长和对AI相关服务的非凡需求的背景下。10 主要超大规模企业继续报告积压订单，表明需求仍高于可用产能。
然后是日本。许多关注点都集中在日元以及日本央行进一步加息的可能性上。然而，市场似乎在吸收这些预期时没有出现严重混乱。毕竟，日经225 指数今年迄今表现强劲。11
与此同时，更广泛的“大局”看起来仍然相当有利。本周的经济数据提供了又一次提醒。初请失业金人数按历史标准仍处于低位。12 生产率增长超出预期。13 尽管非农就业报告弱于预期，但这可能降低了加息的可能性。14 在我看来，这些都不表明经济即将陷入衰退。
很多时候，投资者会被戏剧性的头条、暂时的干扰或最新的焦虑源所吸引。就像那些跑向受伤球员的摄影师一样，他们可能冒着忽视球场本身的风险。头条新闻可能引人注目，但更大的故事似乎仍然完好无损。经济增长持续。企业盈利保持坚挺。通胀压力在缓解而非加速。金融市场在适应政策变化时基本上没有出现明显的压力迹象。这就是为什么我不会急于冲向“伤病”——关于市场的戏剧性头条——而是专注于更大的图景。

Oil, inflation, Fed uncertainty, tech consolidation, and Japan headlines have grabbed attention, but markets have handled these disruptions with limited stress.
The broader market backdrop remained constructive, with solid job growth, resilient earnings, easing inflation pressures, and limited signs of financial stress.
Not every market disruption changes the outcome. Investors may be better served by staying focused, rather than being drawn to dramatic headlines.
I shadowed an Associated Press photographer once during a college football game. It was a fascinating experience, not necessarily because of what I learned about photography, but because I learned something about perspective, which has stayed with me as a global market strategist watching the stock markets. Here’s why. At one point, a player went down with an injury. As trainers rushed onto the field, a cluster of photographers sprinted toward the scene to get a shot of the injured player lying in pain.
The photographer I was shadowing didn’t move. He just looked at the others with disdain. He explained that they were chasing a photograph that only mattered if the injury turned out to be catastrophic and involved a prominent player. If that happened, the picture would be splashed across newspapers everywhere. But most injuries don’t change the outcomes of games or warrant the front page of newspapers. Most are simply interruptions in a much bigger story. “I’d rather be in position for the next play,” he said. That’s the lesson that has stayed with me.
I’ve thought about it often over the past several months with all the dramatic headlines about the markets.
There has been no shortage of reasons in the global economy and financial markets to focus on “injuries.” War in the Middle East. Higher oil prices.1 Concerns about headline inflation.2 A Federal Reserve (Fed) that has been less communicative than many investors would like. A consolidation in technology stocks after a remarkable advance.3 Intervention in the Japanese yen market.4
Each of these developments has generated dramatic headlines and confident predictions of trouble ahead. And to be fair, if I focused on those risks, made a sufficiently negative call, and happened to be right, perhaps I’d get my picture in the paper too. But I’d rather focus on the bigger game.
Consider oil prices. The spike that had many investors worried peaked back in early April.5 Inflation? Market-based inflation expectations have been moving lower rather than higher.6 Concerns about a more hawkish Fed? Markets have already digested the equivalent of roughly two additional rate hikes with surprisingly little stress showing up in credit markets7 or even in the S&P 500 Index Equal Weight Index.8 In fact, given where inflation expectations have fallen, I’d still take the under on two additional hikes.
What about technology stocks? Yes, there has been some consolidation,9 but it’s occurring against a backdrop of strong earnings growth and extraordinary demand for AI-related services.10 The major hyperscalers continue to report backlogs that suggest demand remains ahead of available capacity.
And then there’s Japan. Much attention has been paid to the yen and the possibility of additional Bank of Japan rate hikes. Yet markets appear to be absorbing those expectations without significant disruption. The Nikkei 225 Index, after all, has been strong year to date.11
Meanwhile, the broader “game” continues to look quite favorable. This week’s economic data offered another reminder. Jobless claims remained low by historical standards.12 Productivity growth surprised to the upside.13 While the payroll report came in weaker than expected, it likely lowers the probability of rate hikes.14 None of this suggests an economy on the verge of rolling over in my view.
Too often, investors are drawn toward the dramatic headline, the temporary disruption, or the latest source of anxiety. Like those photographers running toward the injured player, they can risk losing sight of the field itself. The headlines may be compelling, but the larger story appears to remain intact. Economic growth continued. Corporate earnings have held up. Inflation pressures have been easing more than accelerating. Financial markets have been adjusting to policy changes largely without obvious signs of stress. That’s why I’m not rushing toward the “injury,” the dramatic headlines regarding the markets, and focusing on the bigger picture instead.

Past performance does not guarantee future results.
Investments cannot be made directly in an index.

Artificial intelligence (AI) technology companies are sensitive to specific risks such as small markets, business cycle changes, economic growth, technological progress, obsolescence, and regulation. These companies may have limited products, markets, resources, or personnel, making their securities more volatile, especially for smaller start-ups. Rapid technological changes can adversely affect their results. AI companies often rely on patents, copyrights, trademarks, and trade secrets to protect their technology, but there's no guarantee these protections will be sufficient. Significant research and development (R&D) spending doesn’t ensure product or service success.
