The Federal Reserve is expected to raise interest rates in December and the first quarter of 2027, pushing the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield to peak between 5.25% and 5.5% by mid-year.Despite the weakness in the gold market, its appeal as a hedging tool may drive a rebound in gold prices later next year.

According to Goldman Sachs data, in the past two weeks, global technology stocks have experienced a net sell-off of approximately $20 billion, with the intensity of the sell-off reaching an extreme level of -3.3 standard deviations. The sell-off scale in the TMT sector is close to the $23 billion seen in July of this year. Meanwhile, the volatility spread between the Nasdaq 100 Index and the S&P 500 Index has risen to the 98th percentile of the past five years, indicating a significant increase in market demand for hedging against technology stocks.According to JPMorgan, the scale of debt financing for AI infrastructure has exceeded $500 billion this year, with the financing costs for large-scale cloud service providers rising by about 120 basis points compared to before. As Google, Microsoft, and Amazon release their earnings reports this week, the market will focus on whether AI capital expenditures can be converted into actual revenue, as well as the sustainability of financing for subsequent investment expansions.JPMorgan believes that the financing relationship between Nvidia and GPU operators may become a channel for credit risk transmission. If operator financing tightens, pressure may spread upstream along the supply chain. The bank maintains a constructive view on the fundamentals of the technology sector, believing that a buying window may appear in early November, but it is still necessary to observe signals such as further market position clearing, corporate earnings realization, and credit spread narrowing.

Analysts indicate that regulatory-led measures can encourage institutional participation in the cryptocurrency ecosystem in the short term, but only legislation can make the framework more robust in the long term. Currently, the cryptocurrency industry has to rely on a series of fragmented regulatory actions, which may be overturned in the next two years due to political changes. At the same time, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has issued a five-year "innovation exemption" for tokenized stocks, requiring that tokens must possess the financial and voting rights of the original stocks.Additionally, the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) is exploring allowing leveraged cryptocurrency trading on regulated U.S. platforms, while the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) has granted national trust charters to an increasing number of stablecoin issuers and digital asset companies, placing activities such as custody and reserve management under federal regulation. The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) is also considering allowing companies to classify certain stablecoins as cash equivalents to support their broader use in payments and liquidity management.

J.P. Morgan's latest report states that publicly listed technology companies worldwide are expected to generate approximately $2.2 trillion in operating cash flow this year, with capital expenditures and R&D expenditures totaling about $1.8 trillion. After deductions, there remains a surplus of about $400 billion, sufficient to support current AI infrastructure investments without relying on external financing.In response to market concerns regarding the sustainability of financing models for new cloud vendors, J.P. Morgan believes that their scale is still relatively limited compared to the entire technology sector. Even if financing comes under pressure, it is unlikely to shake the overall AI investment cycle. The report estimates that new cloud vendors will have operating cash flow of about $30 billion this year, with capital expenditures and R&D expenditures around $80 billion. If there is a funding gap, more financially robust hyperscale cloud service providers can still take on the related demand.J.P. Morgan also pointed out that part of the current financing demand in the technology sector stems from large-scale stock buybacks. Companies can release funds by reducing buybacks to maintain AI investments. The overall stock position in the market has retreated from the mid-September peak, and trend-following investors' long positions in semiconductors have also been largely digested. The bank believes that the short-term downward space in the market is gradually narrowing.

According to The Defiant, as JPMorgan launched its token JPMD on Ethereum, 13 counterfeit tokens with the same name appeared in the market.

The bank currently expects SpaceX's revenue to reach $254 billion by 2027, with computing capacity expected to reach 10 gigawatts (GW) by the end of the year, and has more than doubled its related forecasts for 2027 to 2028.JPMorgan Chase also believes that a potential merger between SpaceX and Tesla has strategic significance, but it is still uncertain whether the related deal can be reached.

J.P. Morgan Asset Management has first included Bitcoin in its long-term capital market expectations, forecasting an annualized return of about 10% for Bitcoin over the next decade, which is expected to outperform stocks, bonds, and gold. However, this prediction also assumes that Bitcoin's annualized volatility could reach as high as 55%, more than three times that of U.S. large-cap stocks.J.P. Morgan believes that the gradual improvement of the regulatory framework, along with the continuous enhancement of market liquidity and price discovery mechanisms, may further promote Bitcoin's recognition in traditional financial markets. Looking ahead to the next decade, technological innovations in fields such as artificial intelligence, robotics, healthcare, and space, as well as a global capital expenditure growth of approximately $15 trillion, are also expected to drive economic growth and asset returns. Analysts point out that the correlation between Bitcoin and other assets is unstable, making it currently unsuitable as a diversification asset in balanced investment portfolios; therefore, the institution has not yet included it in its main investment portfolio model. If Bitcoin's volatility continues to decline in the future and its correlation with other assets stabilizes, its portfolio allocation value is expected to increase.

JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon stated in an exclusive interview with The Wall Street Journal that the current state of the U.S. economy is strong, with significant growth in corporate profits, a low unemployment rate, and overall low leverage for businesses and consumers. He described this as a good time. Dimon also pointed out that several potential risks are accumulating beneath the surface, including persistent inflation that has lasted for five years, large fiscal deficits, and geopolitical uncertainties such as overseas wars.He emphasized that predicting the specific timing and triggers of an economic downturn is extremely difficult, as the eventual recession is often caused by a combination of factors that cannot be accurately assessed at present. When discussing how banks should respond, Dimon stated that JPMorgan Chase conducts extremely in-depth analyses of various risks to ensure that the bank can withstand shocks whether interest rates rise or fall, and whether inflation or stagflation occurs, while continuing to serve clients during difficult times. He mentioned that the bank is prepared for extreme scenarios such as a 40% drop in the stock market and a two to three times widening of bond credit spreads, rather than trying to guess when these scenarios will happen. The core principle is to be well-prepared to continuously support businesses and communities in various environments.

Bitwise Chief Investment Officer Matt Hougan posted on the X platform that JPMorgan has included Bitcoin in its Long-Term Capital Markets Assumptions report, predicting that Bitcoin will be the highest returning asset over the next decade. The report provides an expected volatility for Bitcoin of 55%, while gold is at 17.2%.Hougan stated that the report comes with a lot of caveats and believes that Bitcoin is still in a maturation phase. He thinks the volatility assumptions provided in the report are too high and the return assumptions are too low.

J.P. Morgan strategist Nikolaos Panigirtzoglou pointed out that the AI stock sell-off in October may be difficult to replicate the rapid rebound seen in July. Compared to before, the current market's willingness to buy on dips has weakened, short positions are insufficient to provide potential short-covering buying, corporate buyback funds are also decreasing, and at the same time, leveraged exposure in ETFs is being rebuilt, which may further amplify market volatility. J.P. Morgan believes that, based on investor positioning and capital flows, AI infrastructure stocks do not yet appear to be in an oversold state.This round of sell-off has spread from South Korean memory chip stocks to the U.S. semiconductor sector. SK Hynix and Samsung Electronics have both seen their stock prices drop by nearly one-third over the past month, and the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index has fallen 10% over the last five trading days. Additionally, the combined $40 billion stock buyback plan previously announced by the two companies was completed ahead of schedule in mid-October, which may have caused the market to lose some of the buying support brought by corporate buybacks.Meanwhile, BlackRock CEO Larry Fink warned that if the U.S. halts data center construction, the economy could fall into recession. He stated that a significant portion of U.S. economic growth is related to capital expenditures in AI infrastructure. As market concerns deepen regarding the return on AI investments and corporate profitability, price adjustments in the AI supply chain could also impact data center construction, energy infrastructure, and related employment sectors.
