  Must Read Research: AI Financing, Convertibles, AI and Labor, Australian LNGs

  Aug 17, 20269 min

  In this episode of Must Read Research on Global Research Unlocked, Candace Browning follows the flow of capital through the artificial intelligence ecosystem to explore where investment, adoption, and infrastructure spending are having the biggest impact. We examine how new chip-funding programs could reshape investment-grade credit markets, why convertible bonds are drawing attention as an alternative way to gain AI exposure, and what the latest labor market data suggests about the debate over AI-related job displacement. We also discuss Australia's role in global liquefied natural gas markets and how energy security, infrastructure, and reserve replacement are becoming increasingly important as global demand evolves.

  Must Read Research: Earnings; European Energy Markets; Memory Demand; MSCI EM Reshuffle

  Aug 11, 20268 min

  It's been a summer of extremes, and this week's Must Read Research highlights four themes shaping markets across regions and asset classes. Candace Browning, Head of Global Research at BofA Securities, reviews a powerful earnings season that continues to deliver broad-based EPS growth, even as investors become increasingly difficult to impress. The episode also examines mounting risks in European energy markets amid record temperatures and tightening gas inventories, the accelerating AI investment cycle driving memory demand following SK Hynix's landmark U.S. listing, and a potentially significant reshuffling of MSCI emerging-market indexes that could redirect billions of dollars in investor flows. Together, these developments offer a timely look at the forces influencing corporate profitability, energy security, AI infrastructure spending, and global capital allocation.

  Aug 7, 202629 min

  Please join Sphia Salim in conversation with Aditya Bhave, Mark Cabana and Meghan Swiber post-payrolls and US Treasury refunding. Given the limited guidance at last week's FOMC meeting and resulting US curve steepening, data has become an even stronger focal point for markets. We will discuss the implication of the NFP report for Fed speak, the September decision and US rates. We will also highlight any key takeaways from the Wednesday US Treasury refunding announcement. The call took place at 10am ET, 3pm BST, 4pm CET on Friday 7th Aug.

  Must Read Research: Russell Concentration, Hazardous Trash is the New Treasure; AI Financing

  Aug 4, 20266 min

  What if one of the market's most widely followed growth benchmarks is really just a bet on a few dozen stocks? This week, we explore rising concentration within major equity indices, how Russell reconstitution is reshaping portfolios, and where opportunities could emerge if market leadership broadens beyond Big Tech. We also examine an unlikely scarcity story: hazardous waste. With disposal capacity constrained for decades, critical waste infrastructure operators are benefiting from increasingly attractive industry dynamics. Finally, we discuss recent cracks in the AI trade as weakness spreads into high yield credit. We explore pressure on AI-linked data center bonds, the impact of new supply, and whether recent volatility may create opportunities for investors.
