Memory chip producers benefited from confirmed chip shortages and price increases for DRAM and HBM chips. AI delivery has become a critical component of the US economy, with Beijing expected to build a rival AI ecosystem. Technology stocks rallied driven by semiconductors, specifically memory stocks, as confirmed chip shortages resulted in noticeable price increases for DRAM and HBM chips. This proved particularly beneficial for South Korean heavyweights and leading memory chip producers like SK Hynix and Samsung Electronics. China and Hong Kong were detractors as markets sold off amid softer growth and underwhelming government response. Despite deflation concerns, southbound flows have accelerated in 2025, suggesting greater risk appetite among Chinese investors that could drive a wealth effect supporting consumption. Trump's tariffs suggest goals of shifting manufacturing and raising revenue for tax cuts are prime. Market consensus sees a move towards breakdown in China-US trade, though pace and extent of decoupling remain uncertain. Trump has extended tariff pressure to India and Brazil, but agreements to reduce tariffs are expected. Copper miner Grupo Mexico rallied on rising copper demand driven by electrification and data center growth. The miner, with access to low-cost reserves, remains a long-term beneficiary. Copper and other minerals have gained from AI infrastructure development and energy transition. | View | |

The market expects memory price increases in 2026, further supporting performance of these Korean memory giants. AI demand drove strong performance in technology companies including Capgemini Group which benefited from cloud, data and AI demand. However, Alibaba faced profitability pressure due to significant AI spending despite revenue growth in its cloud division. HD Hyundai Electric capitalized on increased demand to expand and upgrade power infrastructure, completing construction of a new Korean power distribution equipment plant. European fiscal stimulus focused on defense and infrastructure spending supported regional performance. Yara International partnered with Air Products for low-carbon ammonia projects in the U.S. and Middle East, positioning toward becoming an energy-transition and low-carbon fertilizer company while securing long-dated contracts. Chinese e-commerce companies showed mixed results with Alibaba reporting impressive quarterly revenues and growth in cloud division and one-hour delivery business, while facing profitability pressure from aggressive discounting in instant retail space. Lundin Mining announced record third-quarter revenues, profiting from higher realized copper prices in an advantageous supply-demand environment.

The S&P 500 is near record multiples and trading at concerningly rich valuations primarily due to a short list of very large and expensive stocks. International stocks look very appealing even after significant outperformance in 2025. International stocks significantly outperformed their domestic counterparts in 2025, and the less expensive portions of the market did particularly well. International companies offer an important counterbalance to the richness of the broader U.S. market when selectively chosen and are beneficial from a diversification perspective. The strategy systematically filters out highly levered or fundamentally less stable companies and focuses on cash flow stability and low indebtedness thresholds. Quality metrics include fundamental stability scores and leverage ratios that differentiate the portfolio from broader market benchmarks. | View | |
