1 00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:02,200 Speaker 1: Now the bumpy day of trading on the U S 2 00:00:02,200 --> 00:00:05,560 Speaker 1: stock market. Andrew Courtain is without Milford Asset Management. He's 3 00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:11,000 Speaker 1: with me tonight. Get Andrew right. So the selloff continues 4 00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:13,600 Speaker 1: last night, any new developments. 5 00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:16,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, there's an another volatile night. Last night. We had 6 00:00:16,840 --> 00:00:19,760 Speaker 2: there and B five hundred down around about one percent. 7 00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:22,160 Speaker 2: It was a little bit disappointing because we had seen 8 00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:23,919 Speaker 2: it rally a couple of days before and it was 9 00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:27,520 Speaker 2: up about three percent. So we're back to downadays again, unfortunately, 10 00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:30,680 Speaker 2: So that takes the US markets down about eight percent 11 00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:33,960 Speaker 2: since the high as we saw in February. There's no 12 00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:36,639 Speaker 2: real news that triggered it last night. It's just we're 13 00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:38,920 Speaker 2: now just in this period where volatility is quite high, 14 00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:40,839 Speaker 2: so it's becoming quite normal to see days with the 15 00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:43,879 Speaker 2: market fu up or down one or two percent. We 16 00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:47,839 Speaker 2: saw technology stocks and stocks that are particularly sensitive to 17 00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:52,080 Speaker 2: the US economic growth outlook with the stocks that sold 18 00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:54,000 Speaker 2: off again last night and the other ones that have 19 00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:56,000 Speaker 2: sort of led the sell off over the last last 20 00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:58,560 Speaker 2: month or so. And all this has already been driven 21 00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:01,480 Speaker 2: by growing view that the US might be seen some 22 00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:04,320 Speaker 2: economics slow down. Part of that's to do with the 23 00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:07,040 Speaker 2: uncertainty around tariffs, some of it's part of it's abound 24 00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:09,600 Speaker 2: other Trump policies such as immigration. 25 00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:13,080 Speaker 1: None of this was to do with the Middle East 26 00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:15,360 Speaker 1: and the resumption of fighting there. 27 00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:19,160 Speaker 2: No, I don't think so. So the market's become quite 28 00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:22,080 Speaker 2: used to them to, unfortunately seeing what's going on in 29 00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:24,280 Speaker 2: the Middle East. So no, I don't. I don't think 30 00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:25,840 Speaker 2: it was that. I mean, there probably was a bit 31 00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:29,600 Speaker 2: more focus on actually the Trump and Pootin discussion and 32 00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:33,319 Speaker 2: seeing if there's going to be a ceasefire, and that 33 00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:35,720 Speaker 2: market unfortunately wasn't a cease fire agreed to, but the 34 00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:39,240 Speaker 2: markets looking that as a catalyst to potentially push European 35 00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:42,759 Speaker 2: equities higher game which which had our performance. Yet they're 36 00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:45,840 Speaker 2: up around about twelve percent, So while the US market's 37 00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:48,600 Speaker 2: been down five, you're seeing quite a strong European market. 38 00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:51,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, really strong. Do you think that there's room for 39 00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:53,000 Speaker 1: that to go much higher? 40 00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:57,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, well I think there is. Markets sort of needs 41 00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:00,680 Speaker 2: often want to see catalysts once you see seen a 42 00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:03,400 Speaker 2: fairly big boost. So because they are already up twelve percent, 43 00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:05,880 Speaker 2: it's now really about do we get more news that 44 00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:09,760 Speaker 2: can keep pushing the sort of trade into Europe one 45 00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:13,600 Speaker 2: thing to look out for is there's this infrastructure and 46 00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:16,480 Speaker 2: defense spending bill that's been pushed through by Germany at 47 00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:18,240 Speaker 2: the moment, and there was actually some news on that 48 00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:21,520 Speaker 2: last night where sort of the first round of local 49 00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:24,640 Speaker 2: lawmakers had to vote to approve this, which they did. 50 00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:27,760 Speaker 2: There's still another round to go, but this is positive. 51 00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:30,200 Speaker 2: So that's hit in the right direction. And yet also 52 00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:34,480 Speaker 2: markets obosey closely watching Ukraine developments. If we do CSS 53 00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:36,440 Speaker 2: fire and ultimately into the war there, then I think 54 00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:39,240 Speaker 2: that's another another large catalyst to keep pushing markets high. 55 00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:42,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, thank goodness for Germany and some stimulus. Same goes 56 00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:45,800 Speaker 1: for China. Right now, let's talk about in Nvidia, world's 57 00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:49,280 Speaker 1: second largest company, had their annual technology conference today. Anything 58 00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:52,280 Speaker 1: made you come out of that, well, not really, it. 59 00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:54,359 Speaker 2: Was most of the news was sort of in line 60 00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:57,239 Speaker 2: with expectations. The CEO did about a two and a 61 00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:01,359 Speaker 2: half hour long presentation in terms of technology developments, is 62 00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:05,040 Speaker 2: around about what people expected, and because there's nothing really 63 00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:08,160 Speaker 2: exciting that the shares traded down a few percent. But 64 00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:12,600 Speaker 2: the key message really was that al models continue to 65 00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:15,280 Speaker 2: get more complex and the video is the company that 66 00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:17,720 Speaker 2: is really pushing the frontiers on how to power these 67 00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:20,160 Speaker 2: models and make them more efficient. And as these models 68 00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:23,280 Speaker 2: get more complex, they need these kind of super powerful 69 00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:26,720 Speaker 2: chips that the video is developing. And Jensen, the CEO 70 00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:29,799 Speaker 2: basedly spent most of the presentation talking about how n 71 00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:31,840 Speaker 2: Video's sort of latest technology is going to be at 72 00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:33,160 Speaker 2: the forefront of this development. 73 00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:37,080 Speaker 1: Andrew, thank you for that wrap.
