Wedbush believes that the recent dip in tech stocks presents a strong buying opportunity, with an expected 15% increase by the end of the year. Solid corporate earnings reports season may drive tech stocks to achieve double-digit gains once again. Higher-than-expected inflation levels in the past three months have reduced the likelihood of a Fed rate cut in June to 18% according to investors. However, Wedbush sees the profit environment for tech companies still looking strong, especially considering the frenzy around artificial intelligence. A robust earnings season could be a major positive catalyst for tech stocks. Based on Wedbush's consumer survey, consumer spending trends for internet companies in the first quarter are "strong". Strong growth is also expected in digital advertising, which will be a positive factor for companies like Google, Amazon, and Meta. The industry is expected to see a $1 trillion impact in AI spending over the next decade

UBS analysts stated that although UBS's baseline scenario predicts two rate cuts by the Federal Reserve this year, they now believe that if the US economy continues to expand resiliently and inflation remains stagnant at 2.5% or higher, the risk of the Fed resuming rate hikes early next year will be high, with the federal funds rate possibly reaching 6.5% by mid-next year. Investors are starting to worry that the US economy may be overheating. If the Fed shifts back to rate hikes, it will trigger significant selling in the US bond and stock markets

New York Fed President Williams stated that the recent US inflation data is not a turning point, but it may affect its forecasts. He believes that the current monetary policy is restrictive, and if inflation continues to fall, the Fed may start cutting interest rates this year. In addition, Williams pointed out that Fed officials are closely monitoring the situation in the Middle East, but do not consider it a major factor affecting the US economic outlook. Data released on Monday showed a decrease in the size of overnight reverse repurchase agreements by the Fed, seen as a signal of an upcoming slowdown in balance sheet reduction
