AI and Semiconductor Sectors Continue to Find Market Support
Discussing artificial intelligence and the technology sector, Tim Waterer noted that market enthusiasm for AI-related assets has recently picked up, while strong earnings from U.S. companies have helped ease some concerns over valuations and profitability.
Tim remains positive on the semiconductor sector, citing favorable supply-and-demand dynamics and strong order books among chip. Overall, the sector’s solid fundamentals are expected to remain supportive at least through 2027.

Positive Long-Term Outlook for Gold, with the Dollar and Oil Prices in Focus
Beyond artificial intelligence, Tim Waterer continues to see long-term potential in gold. He noted that recent market developments have contributed to a weaker U.S. dollar, providing momentum for gold to break out of its previous trading range.
Meanwhile, continued increases in gold holdings by central banks, including those of Russia and Türkiye, could provide further support for gold prices. However, elevated oil prices and a relatively strong U.S. Dollar Index remain key factors that could limit further upside.

Yen Outlook and Policy Developments Remain Key Areas to Watch
Looking ahead to the Japanese yen, Tim Waterer believes that the currency’s lows for the year may have gradually formed, although uncertainty remains. He expects that if the Bank of Japan implements further interest-rate hikes, supporting the yen could be among its policy considerations. Meanwhile, the United States may also consider measures to mitigate the risk of Japan selling large amounts of U.S. Treasury securities, which could place upward pressure on U.S. Treasury yields.
Under the current policy environment, the yen may continue trading within a relatively defined range. However, if the currency weakens significantly again, further intervention by authorities cannot be ruled out.
