Barclays says investors' preference for bonds is heating up but factors such as profitability still support the inflow of funds into the stock market.
Barclays strategists say that investors' preference for bonds is increasing, but corporate profits, labor market resilience, and the potential policy shift by the Federal Reserve still support inflow of funds into the stock market. Emmanuel Cau's team wrote in a report that history shows that the flow of funds in the stock market is usually low before the US election, and the seasonal factors in September are negative. However, they pointed out that the stabilization of earnings per share should support the flow of funds in the stock market, and unless there is a sharp decline in employment data, we believe that the high allocation to stocks is unlikely to be reduced. August employment data will be a key catalyst for any potential intensification.

After the Bank of Japan raised interest rates and Governor Haruhiko Kuroda released hawkish signals earlier this month, Kuroda will face close scrutiny from the market on Friday. He will begin his questioning by members of the House of Representatives at 9:30 a.m., followed by another hearing at 1 p.m. in the House of Councillors.

With $13 billion in unresolved debt, Musk's acquisition of Twitter became the worst financing deal since the financial crisis.
According to reports, Musk's acquisition of Twitter in 2022 for $44 billion left about $13 billion of unpaid debt to Bank of America, Morgan Stanley, and other major banks, making it the worst deal for seven major financial institutions that have provided financing for trades since the global financial crisis. The transaction has accumulated about $13 billion in so-called "hanging debt," or outstanding loans owed to banks that have not been sold, partly due to the sharp decline in the value of target assets due to poor performance. According to Pitchbook data, this is the first major deal to be completed since the collapse of Lehman Brothers about 16 years ago.
