JPMorgan Turns Tactically Bullish on Stock Market Amid Stabilizing Yields
Traders at JPMorgan have shifted to a more bullish stance in the near term, citing improved macroeconomic fundamentals and stabilizing Treasury yields. After weeks of caution due to rising inflation concerns and elevated interest rates, the bank's trading desk now sees a constructive market setup driven by consumer strength, earnings expectations, and favorable technical indicators. The 10-year U.S. Treasury yield recently reached its highest level since 2002 at over 5.3%, while the 30-year bond hit levels not seen in 24 years before easing later in the week following lighter-than-expected inflation data. JPMorgan favors tech stocks due to ongoing AI momentum and banks, citing potential yield curve steepening and a strong capital markets outlook. The market remains sensitive to economic reports such as next-day services sector data from the Institute for Supply Management (ISM), which could influence bond yields significantly.
