## Resource

US equity futures are modestly higher, Asian markets are mostly weaker while European equities are firmer. Markets remain focused on the unwind in the AI and semiconductor trade after a strong second quarter, with memory stocks under pressure amid concerns around stretched positioning and demand risks tied to rising input costs. Geopolitics remains a secondary driver, with US-Iran talks still seen as constructive but lacking clear breakthroughs, while central bank messaging has provided limited new direction. Attention is also turning to the US labor market, with nonfarm payrolls expected to show a moderation in job growth, reinforcing expectations for further rate tightening later this year. Companies Mentioned: Apple, OpenAI, SoftBank Group
