Stock indexes erased an early advance on Wednesday and settled mixed, with the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 falling to 1.5-week lows.  Losses in chipmakers led the broader market lower on Wednesday, ahead of Micron Technology’s earnings results after Wednesday’s close to gauge whether artificial intelligence is living up to expectations.  Micron Technology is one of the biggest beneficiaries of the soaring demand, as companies stand to gain from the billions of dollars being pumped into AI infrastructure, with the stock up more than 260% this year.

Stocks initially opened higher on Wednesday on evidence of the vast amounts of capital flowing into the buildout of AI infrastructure and its supply chain.  South Korea’s Kospi Stock Index closed up more than +3% on Wednesday after SK Hynix announced it was looking to raise 45.45 trillion won ($29 billion) in a US listing and intends to use the proceeds for building additional chip-making capacity.

Stocks also garnered support on Wednesday from falling crude prices, which lowered inflation expectations and knocked bond yields lower. WTI crude sank to a 3.5-month low on Wednesday, sparking a bond rally that pushed the 10-year T-note yield down by 10 bp to a 6-week low of 4.40%.  The falling bond yields and crude oil prices sparked a rally in homebuilders and building suppliers, airlines, and cruise line operators.

On the negative side, today’s US economic news showed that May new home sales unexpectedly fell to a 4-month low. Also, mining stocks retreated on Wednesday as gold, silver, and copper prices plunged to multi-month lows, and energy producers slid as crude oil prices tumbled to a 3.5-month low.  In addition, cryptocurrency-exposed stocks fell on Wednesday after Bitcoin (^BTCUSD) tumbled to a 20-month low.

WTI crude oil (CLQ26) extended recent declines on Wednesday and fell more than -3% at a 3.5-month low as more tankers openly cross the Strait of Hormuz, boosting global crude supplies. Vessels are transiting the waterway with their satellite signals switched on, indicating growing confidence among shipowners.  Also, the International Maritime Organization said it had received guarantees allowing hundreds of ships to exit the Persian Gulf.

US MBA mortgage applications rose +1.0% in the week ended June 19, with the purchase mortgage sub-index down -0.6% and the refinancing mortgage sub-index up +3.0%.  The average 30-year fixed rate mortgage fell -1 bp to 6.59% from 6.60% in the prior week.

The US Q1 current account deficit was -$225.8 billion, larger than the -$208.9 billion expected.

US May new home sales unexpectedly fell -7.3% m/m to a 4-month low of 580,000, weaker than expectations of an increase to 640,000.

The markets are discounting a 34% chance of a +25 bp rate hike at the next FOMC meeting on July 28-29.

European government bond yields moved lower on Wednesday.  The 10-year German bund yield fell to a 3.5-month low of 2.859% and finished down -5.5 bp to 2.865%.  The 10-year UK gilt yield dropped to a 3-month low of 4.673% and finished down -7.0 bp to 4.684%.

The German Jun IFO business confidence index rose +0.6 to 85.6, stronger than expectations of 85.5.

The S&P 500 Index ($SPX) (SPY) on Tuesday closed down -1.44%, the Dow Jones Industrial Average ($DOWI) (DIA) closed down -0.09%, and the Nasdaq 100 Index ($IUXX) (QQQ) closed down -3.29%.  September E-mini S&P futures (ESU26) fell -1.41%, and September E-mini Nasdaq futures (NQU26) fell -3.28%.

Stock indexes sold off sharply on Tuesday, with the S&P 500 posting a 1.5-week low and the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the Nasdaq 100 posting 1-week lows.  Concerns over the high valuations of chipmakers and memory stocks, among the biggest beneficiaries of the artificial-intelligence trade, have led to global selling in those sectors on Tuesday as investors question whether future returns can justify current spending on AI.  Tuesday’s +5% jump in International Business Machines limited losses in the Dow Jones Industrials.Join 200K+ Subscribers: Find out why the midday Barchart Brief newsletter is a must-read for thousands daily.

Tuesday’s stock slump began in Asia, with Japan’s Nikkei Stock Average falling by more than -3%.  Also, South Korea’s Kospi index closed down more than -10%, as foreign investors offloaded more than $2.5 billion of Kospi shares.  South Korea’s SK Hynix and Samsung Electronics closed down by more than -12%, sparking forced liquidation that hit retail investors trading on margin, compounded by a wave of selling tied to leveraged exchange-traded funds (ETFs) tracking the two chip giants.

Stock indexes recovered from their worst levels on Tuesday amid signs of strength in the US economy, after the Jun S&P manufacturing PMI unexpectedly rose by +0.6 to 55.7, stronger than expectations of a decline to 54.6 and the strongest figure in 4 years.

On the negative side, the US Jun Richmond Fed manufacturing survey current conditions fell -9 to 4, weaker than expectations of 8.

The markets are discounting a 36% chance of a +25 bp rate hike at the next FOMC meeting on July 28-29.

Overseas stock markets settled sharply lower on Tuesday. The Euro Stoxx 50 fell to a 1-week low and closed down -1.28%.  China's Shanghai Composite fell from a 1-month high and closed down -1.37%. Japan’s Nikkei-225 Stock Average closed down -3.55%.

Interest Rates

September 10-year T-notes (ZNU6) on Tuesday closed up +4.5 ticks, and the 10-year T-note yield fell -1.6 bp to 4.493%.  T-notes settled higher as Tuesday’s sharp selloff in global equity markets fueled safe-haven demand for government debt securities.  Also, easing inflation expectations were supportive of T-notes, as the 10-year breakeven inflation rate fell to a 6-month low of 2.210% on Tuesday.  In addition, solid demand for the Treasury’s $69 billion auction of 2-year T-notes was positive for T-notes, as the auction had a bid-to-cover ratio of 2.64, better than the 10-auction average of 2.61.

Gains in T-notes were limited after the Jun S&P manufacturing PMI unexpectedly expanded at the strongest pace in four years, a hawkish factor for Fed policy.  Also, supply pressures are negative for T-notes as the Treasury will auction $211 billion of T-notes and floating-rate notes this week.

European government bond yields moved lower on Tuesday.  The 10-year German bund yield dropped to a 2.5-month low of 2.904% and finished down -3.3 bp to 2.919%.  The 10-year UK gilt yield fell -5.4 bp to 4.754%.

The Eurozone Jun S&P manufacturing PMI fell -0.3 to 51.3, weaker than expectations of no change at 51.6.  However, the Jun S&P composite PMI rose +1.0 to 49.5, stronger than expectations of 49.2.

Eurozone May new car registrations rose +3.2% y/y to 955,000 units, the fourth consecutive monthly increase.

ECB Chief Economist Philip Lane said ECB Officials face the risk that inflation will hover above their goal "for quite some time."

The UK Jun SP manufacturing PMI fell -0.8 to 53.1, weaker than expectations of 53.5.

Swaps are discounting a 10% chance of a +25 bp ECB rate hike at its next policy meeting on July 23.

US Stock Movers

Chipmakers and AI-infrastructure stocks sold off sharply, driving Tuesday’s selloff in equity markets.  The iShares Semiconductor ETF (SOXX) closed down more than -8%.  Sandisk (SNDK) closed down more than -12% to lead the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 losers, and Micron Technology (MU) closed down more than -13%.  Also, ON Semiconductor (ON), ARM Holdings NV (ARM), and Microchip Technology (MCHP) closed down more than -10%, and Lam Research (LRCX), Analog Devices (ADI), Marvell Technology (MRVL),and KLA Corp (KLAC) closed down more than -9%.  In addition, Western Digital (WDC), ASML Holding NV (ASML), Applied Materials (AMAT), Texas Instruments (TXN), and Qualcomm (QCOM) closed down more than -8%, and NXP Semiconductors NV (NXPI) closed down more than -7%.  Finally, Intel (INTC) closed down more than -6%, Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) and Seagate Technology Holdings Plc (STX) closed down more than -5%, and Nvidia (NVDA) closed down more than -4% to lead losers in the Dow Jones Industrials.

Best Buy (BBY) closed down more than -1% after announcing that CFO Bilunas will step down at the end of July after 20 years, including seven years as CFO.

Nike (NKE) closed down more than -1% after Evercore ISI downgraded the stock to inline from outperform.

Edgewell Personal Care Co (EPC) closed up more than +15% after rejecting an unsolicited takeover offer from Yellow Wood Partners, saying the $30 a share offer is too low.

International Business Machines (IBM) closed up more than +5% to lead gainers in the Dow Jones industrials after JPMorgan Chase upgraded the stock to overweight from neutral with a price target of $291.
