Physical infrastructure demand remains exceptionally strong

Markets are focusing on Friday’s US employment report. Softer job creation would reduce the likelihood of another Fed increase and could support bonds, REITs, utilities and growth stocks. However, a very weak report would shift the concern from inflation toward recession and earnings risk. The preferable outcome is moderate employment growth accompanied by easing wage pressure. Earnings The earnings season remains strong overall, but markets are punishing companies whose results do not exceed very high expectations. * AMD: data-centre revenue more than doubled to US$6.72 billion, but its shares fell because investors wanted a larger AI payoff. * SpaceX: reported record revenue, but its shares fell sharply because of concerns over heavy AI capital expenditure, cash burn and whether Starlink

The core catalyst for PLTR's ~14.8% surge in overnight trading (closing at $144.21) was its Q2 2026 earnings report, which significantly exceeded Wall Street expectations across all key metrics, prompting the company to raise its full-year revenue and profit forecasts 148.

The US 10-year yield subsequently reached about 4.75%, while the 30-year yield moved above 5.2%. These levels raise discount rates across global assets and increase refinancing pressure. Likely winners: banks with strong deposit franchises, exchanges, cash-rich companies. Likely losers: REITs, long-duration growth stocks, highly leveraged utilities and speculative technology. 2. Earnings — AI spending is being accepted when revenue follows Amazon reported AWS growth of 37%, raised planned 2026 capital expenditure to US$220 billion and said demand continues to exceed available capacity. Microsoft reported 43%

My interpretation of the latest market movement is that the market has shifted from rewarding “good” results to demanding “exceptional” results with a convincing forward outlook. Tesla’s latest Q2 earnings are a good example of this change. Here’s how I see the current environment: 1. The market is now forward-looking, not backward-looking The Q2 numbers describe what happened over the last three months. However, institutional investors are pricing what earnings will look like over the next 12–24 months.
