The speaker says geopolitical risk has been largely ignored by the market for now, while AI/technology stocks remain the dominant driver of the rally. The main near-term concern is persistent inflation, especially in Europe, which has forced the ECB into a likely 25 bp hike and could create a policy error risk if growth weakens.

The speaker’s core message is that markets have kept rising despite ongoing geopolitical turmoil in the Middle East, because investors have largely chosen to look through a conflict that still lacks clear, durable resolution. He says there has been “beaucoup de nouvelles contradictoires” from Iran and from Donald Trump, but the market has essentially shrugged it off: even when the news worsens, equities keep advancing and May was a very strong month for stocks. He suggests that only fresh, material developments — either a renewed escalation or, preferably, a signed agreement or at least a pause — would be enough to change that market behavior. The more important and clearer driver, in his view, is the continued momentum in technology and especially AI-related stocks. …
Near term, the tape remains constructive as long as AI/tech leadership holds and the ECB meeting lands without a hawkish surprise. The main tactical risk is a sudden geopolitical escalation or an inflation-driven policy shock.
Over the next several weeks, the base case is continued equity support from earnings and tech momentum, with ECB tightening acting more as a growth test than an equity killer. That view weakens if inflation re-accelerates or euro-area activity rolls over.
Structurally, the video implies a regime where market leadership can stay concentrated in AI/technology even while macro noise persists. The lasting risk is that sticky inflation forces central banks to remain restrictive enough to cap growth and eventually challenge valuations.
