This comes after a generally healthy fiscal third-quarter report that hit the street in late April. Bigger picture, there are signs that the iShares Expanded Tech & Software ETF ( IGV ) may be putting in a bottom. That’s what Tom Lee of Fundstrat asserts, as his firm added U.S. large-cap software to its list of top areas to overweight. I had a buy rating on MSFT back in January . I made a bold call, asserting that investors should buy the AI-driven plunge in software. The stock is about flat since then, yielding 5 percentage points of alpha to the S&P 500 ( SP500 ).

Yau Ming Low/iStock Editorial via Getty Images By Krzysztof Kamiński The British debt market came under strong pressure after Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham gained the ability to run for a parliamentary seat. For investors, this is a signal that he could, in the future, open a path toward competing for the leadership of the Labour Party and, consequently, challenging Prime Minister Keir Starmer. The mere prospect of such a scenario was enough to trigger a nervous reaction in the bond market. The yield on 30-year UK government bonds rose by as much as 20 basis points to 5.86%, reaching its highest level since 1998. The yield on 10-year bonds, meanwhile, climbed to 5.18%, a level not seen since 2008. Falling bond prices were accompanied by a weakening of the pound against the dollar, with the British currency heading for its worst week since 2024. Yield on 30-year British bonds (Source: TradingView) Investors fear higher spending The source of concern is the belief that a potential Burnham government could pursue a more expansionary fiscal policy than Starmer’s current cabinet. Markets are primarily worried about higher public spending, a larger budget deficit, and increased debt issuance. This is particularly important at a time when the UK’s public debt-to-GDP ratio is currently at its highest level since the 1960s. Investor unease has been reinforced by Burnham’s earlier comments. The Manchester mayor suggested that the UK is, in a sense, "in hock" to the bond markets, and also indicated that defence spending could be excluded from the existing fiscal rules. For the debt market, such statements sound like a signal of greater freedom to increase public borrowing. The spectre of a return to the 2022 crisis The investor reaction is so sharp also because the British market still remembers the 2022 crisis. At that time, unfunded spending proposals from Liz Truss’s government led to a severe sell-off in bonds and major financial turbulence. Since then, every suggestion of...

Sundry Photography/iStock Editorial via Getty Images Knight-Swift ( KNX ) reported Q1'26 results on April 22, and the numbers weren't great at first glance. A number of one-time items produced a quarter that looked worse than the underlying business economics would suggest. For the most part, the market looked past near-term noise and is now pricing in the freight recovery that management and logistics peers are describing. But that's actually my concern here. At around $68 a share and trading at an elevated forward valuation, Knight-Swift's shares are already pricing in the recovery, with shares having moved well ahead of what I'd want to pay for a carrier still building out its LTL network. Background The LTL build for Knight-Swift started when the company acquired US Freightways terminal assets out of the Yellow bankruptcy. It bought them at attractive valuations and has been building a national LTL network around them for the past two years. That process requires front-loaded investment before the margins normalize, which is part of why the near-term numbers look worse than they actually are. An example of this was the $18 million adverse arbitration ruling in Q1 on a 2022 incident, which is the kind of legacy liability that comes with absorbing a troubled network. So sure, it's painful, but it doesn't really reflect the operating results of the business being built on top of those assets. A look at Q1'26 results Looking at the latest quarter for Knight-Swift, Q1 was a slight miss to estimates, with revenue growing 1.4% to $1.85 billion , which was driven mostly by the LTL segment's expansion and new warehousing contract awards. The revenue growth reflects some of the commercial momentum in building the LTL network and in expanding service capabilities. What made Q1 difficult, however, was on the profitability side with several adverse items that I'll discuss here. Seeking Alpha Company Filings In terms of some of those items, the $18 million LTL claims charge w...

Douglas Rissing The U.S. 10-year Treasury yield ( US10Y ) pushed toward a critical technical threshold on Friday, testing descending resistance near 4.6%—the highest mark in nearly a year—as inflation worries mount and Kevin Warsh takes the helm at the Federal Reserve. The benchmark yield is approaching the upper boundary of a multi-year symmetrical triangle pattern for the third time. This consolidation structure has formed since yields peaked near 5% in late 2023, with higher lows compressing against a declining resistance line. The latest surge follows weeks of renewed inflation fears, with traders reassessing the rate outlook under new Fed leadership amid an energy-price shock. A decisive breakout above the upper trendline could redirect attention toward the 2023 highs near 5%, while rejection would maintain the broader consolidation pattern. Unlike shorter-dated, policy-sensitive yields ( US2Y ), the 10-year tenor ( US10Y ) is more closely tied to longer-run inflation, growth and borrowing expectations across the wider economy.
