Rising Treasury yields tend to undermine the performance of stocks, with higher rates on government debt offering a more attractive opportunity for investors. Or so the convention thinking goes.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a bit more going on for investors to consider right now, though, and one of them is the so-called AI trade, or plays which benefit from the emergence of artificial-intelligence technology and Nvidia Corp.\u2019s
\n NVDA,
\n +0.10%<\/bg-quote>
\n role as the leader of that movement. <\/p>\n

\n

According to Edward Moya, senior market analyst for the Americas at OANDA Corp. in New York, AI trades have the potential to overshadow the impact of higher yields going forward, and may allow stocks to make a run for record highs after the Federal Reserve\u2019s Sept. 20 policy decision because that\u2019s when \u201cpolicy makers will be in a better position of signaling they\u2019re done with raising rates.\u201d <\/p>\n

Moya\u2019s view captures a period beyond Thursday\u2019s up-and-down session. All three major stock indexes initially rallied from the open in reaction to another round of record earnings and blowout forecasts from Nvidia on Wednesday, even though 3-month
\n BX:TMUBMUSD03M
\n through 30-year yields
\n BX:TMUBMUSD30Y
\n were all higher. As trading wore on, however, the Nvidia-spawned euphoria faded as higher yields and a rising dollar
\n DXY
\n put pressure on equities, with all three major indexes ending sharply lower. Nonetheless, Moya stands by what he sees as a bullish case that can still be made for stocks in the months ahead.<\/p>\n

Thursday\u2019s rise in yields provided \u201ca good opportunity\u201d for stock investors to engage in profit-taking, Moya said via phone after all three major stock indexes turned lower. Overall, however, \u201cwe are still in the very early stages of the AI trade and when the dust settles from all the noise we\u2019ve had this week and full trading volumes return, the AI trade and Nvidia will lead the stock market higher.\u201d <\/p>\n

Unlike other observers \u2014 who see the potential for Fed Chairman Jerome Powell to unnerve stock investors on Friday with his Jackson Hole speech \u2014 Moya said Wednesday\u2019s round of weak readings from purchasing managers indexes in the U.S., the eurozone, and the U.K. \u201ccould be a game changer for him that warrants some dovish hints.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s pretty clear that we don\u2019t have robust global growth prospects right now,\u201d the analyst said. \u201cThe Fed should not say \u2018mission accomplished\u2019 with fighting inflation, but that we are close to it. That\u2019s the message that needs to be sent.\u201d <\/p>\n

Remarks made by a pair of Fed officials on Thursday could be interpreted as helping to support Moya\u2019s case. Philadelphia Fed President Patrick Harker said in a CNBC interview that officials have probably hiked interest rates by enough to bring inflation down. Meanwhile, Boston Fed President Susan Collins told MarketWatch that she can see scenarios in which policy makers might hold rates close to where they are now.<\/p>\n

Yields on 10-
\n BX:TMUBMUSD10Y
\n and 30-year Treasurys reached their highest closing levels since 2007 and 2011 on Monday, as traders factored in a stronger-than-expected U.S. economy prior to Wednesday\u2019s PMI readings. Those rates slipped on Tuesday and Wednesday, only to bounce back again on Thursday amid a renewed selloff of U.S. government debt ahead of Friday\u2019s Jackson Hole speech.<\/p>\n

Dow industrials
\n DJIA
\n and the S&P 500
\n SPX
\n are off their record closes reached in January 2022 by 7.3% and 8.8%, respectively, according to Thursday figures from Dow Jones Market Data. The Nasdaq Composite
\n COMP
\n is down by 16% from its record close in November 2021. Nvidia shares finished 0.1% higher on Thursday at $471.74, just short of a record closing high.<\/p>\n

The current period of higher interest rates and elevated inflation has defied expectations in a number of ways. The U.S. economy has managed to withstand more than five full percentage points of interest rate hikes since March 2022 better than many expected. American savers are getting a boost from higher rates, turning into another source of strength for the economy. And the stock market is still up for the year, even though 10- and 30-year Treasury yields are not far from their highest levels in more than 12 years.<\/p>\n

History shows that rising yields don\u2019t always undermine the stock market\u2019s performance. Two weeks ago, Ed Clissold, chief U.S. strategist, and Thanh Nguyen, senior quantitative analyst, for Ned Davis Research found that higher yields can be consistent with risk-on sentiment in equities, based on data stretching back more than 40 years \u2014 well before AI trades were ever a part of the equation.<\/p>\n

In a note distributed on Thursday, Clissold and Nguyen said that the recent rise in the 10-year yield, which is up almost a full percentage point since April, hasn\u2019t been \u201cviolent\u201d enough to completely derail the stock market, at least by historical standards. While the speed at which yields rise or fall tends to affect the S&P 500, the moves in Treasury yields haven\u2019t been as extreme as what was seen in 2022, 2015, 2012, 2010 and 2008, they wrote.<\/p>\n

One intermediate-term implication of higher rates is that \u201cfinancial markets are pricing in a stronger economy,\u201d they wrote. \u201cYear-to-date through July, the message had been bullish for stocks because it was removing the consensus call for a recession in 2023.\u201d<\/p>\n

The message has since flipped to one in which \u201ca stronger economy could mean the Fed could keep its target rate higher for longer,\u201d they said. Even so, \u201cthe short-term risk to the stock market may be minor because the economy is accelerating, earnings growth is exceeding expectations, and the two-year yield, which is the most sensitive part of the curve to changes in Fed policy, has not risen sharply.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
