Key Questions Answered

Ed Yardeni views the recent correction in global AI stocks as a period of market volatility rather than the end of the investment cycle, noting that investors now recognize AI as part of a wider IT ecosystem that will benefit India's software services sector.

Ed Yardeni expects the US technology earnings season to support the broader market with earnings growing around 25% year-on-year, maintaining his view that the US remains firmly in a bull market.

Yardeni believes that any shift in congressional control after the midterms would establish gridlock and checks and balances, making it more difficult for President Donald Trump to pursue aggressive policy measures or act aggressively on a global scale.
