U.S. stocks steady as BoJ hikes

Gary Black, managing partner and investor at The Future Fund, reports that U.S. stocks paused following a Bank of Japan rate hike to levels last seen in 1995 and disappointing retail sales data from China.

According to Black, an agreement between the U.S. and Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz by Friday has helped ease energy concerns, resulting in a 2.5% drop in Brent crude to $81. Market attention now shifts to the upcoming Federal Reserve meeting, where new Chair Kevin Warsh is set to lead discussions, alongside falling 10-year yields.

Black has recently commented on strength in the tech sector, highlighting that AVGO and MRVL saw gains as investors responded to growth in custom AI chip sales. He also tracked listings activity, noting the SPCX IPO opened at $150 and rose to $164 after its market debut. These observations come as major indices react to renewed shifts in global monetary and energy developments.
