Evan Feagans, manager of Tcw analyses in detail the outlook for the technology sector in the US in light of all the unknowns dominating the market scenario, from tariffs to inflation
The latest data confirm rising inflation in the US. What is the impact on Ia stocks?
.We expect the impact on inflation to be temporary in nature. Ia is an area of strategic importance to the Trump administration, as evidenced by the recent 'Action Plan for Artificial Intelligence'. Consequently, we expect Ia-related stocks to emerge as the relative winners in the US market.
What effect could the US-EU trade agreement have for the US tech sector?
The European Union is the largest trading partner of the US and a very important market for many US technology companies. We believe that this agreement is mutually beneficial, as the US and China have made great strides in the development of artificial intelligence, and unrestricted access to US products and services in this field will help Europe catch up in the development of a strategically crucial technology.
Is it time to reduce the weight of the Magnificent 7 in your portfolio?
The Mag 7 could also be called the AI 7, as artificial intelligence underpins the strong results and share performance of each of the seven companies. Artificial intelligence will require decades of development and iterations to reach its full potential, and the very nature of this technology favours large companies capable of investing hundreds of billions of dollars in Ia infrastructure in the coming years. Investors who significantly reduce their exposure to Mag 7 risk underperforming the market as these companies continue to drive the most powerful technology trend of the decade.
The Ia sector is subject to cycles of enthusiasm and correction: what are the main risks you see in the short to medium term?
One of the main risks is that there is continued progress on the hardware and software front and increased investment. We are also aware of the impact that AI can have on societal perceptions, as widespread job losses could cause a negative reaction from regulators and consumers, slowing down the growth of the sector.
