Regarding the broader economy, Siegel highlights resilient GDP growth, projected around 2% to 2.5%, and moderating inflation, noting that “housing inflation… is finally slowing in a meaningful way,” which keeps core disinflation on track provided energy prices stabilize.
While money supply growth and rising oil prices pose minor inflation risks that could spark additional Fed policy tightening, overall fundamentals remain robust.
On the stock market, Siegel sees the sharp rotation out of high-flying semiconductor and AI stocks as a positive sign of market discipline.
He cautions that “[a] doubling of earnings does not necessarily justify a doubling in a stock’s price,” but maintains that “AI remains one of the most transformational technologies of our generation.” Ultimately, he views the rotation as a healthy evolution: “The recent pullback in speculative AI leaders should be viewed less as the end of the bull market than as its maturation.” Upcoming Economic Data Here’s what investors will be keeping an eye on.
