Regional banks and non-profitable tech stocks also saw significant gains.
They state that recent data has been encouraging, with inflation below expectations and disinflation trends continuing due to declining shelter inflation. However, UBS warns that investors might be overly optimistic about the extent of Fed rate cuts. The market currently prices in 65bps of cuts this year, including a likely September cut, and over 100bps in 2025. UBS says this is aggressive if growth remains around 2% and inflation above 2%.
