Is it time to chase dip-buying opportunities in tech, software space?

from 🇬🇧 Stay ahead of the markets with Swissquote · host Swissquote, Ipek Ozkardeskaya, Feyyaz Alingan

US equities rebounded yesterday after early-session weakness, with dip buyers stepping in near key technical levels. Yet beneath the surface, conviction remains thin, signaling that investors are treading carefully. The AI trade continues to unwind selectively: software names are under pressure, while AI enablers are still digesting concerns over debt-funded investment plans. Bond yields suggest these companies remain “safe,” but swimming against the current bearish tide demands courage. In Europe, rotation flows are still in play. In the UK, sterling’s weakness supports the internationally exposed FTSE 100, highlighting how currency movements can amplify market trends. Overall, sentiment is stabilizing, but investors are only cautiously back, weighing opportunities against ongoing uncertainty about politics, geopolitics and where AI is driving us! Listen to find out more! Ipek Ozkardeskaya has begun her financial career in 2010 in the structured products desk of the Swiss Banque Cantonale Vaudoise. She worked at HSBC Private Bank in Geneva in relation to high and ultra-high net worth clients. In 2012, she started as FX Strategist at Swissquote Bank.
