Oil unlikely to return to pre-war levels soon

AI story is not broken, but evolving

Reduce concentration risk: tech heavy markets

Active Indonesia stock selection crucial

Yen intervention provides short-term relief

Escalating military tensions between the US and Iran have renewed concerns over energy prices, while volatility in AI-linked technology stocks, particularly in East Asia continues to rise. S&P Dow Jones follows MSCI in potentially downgrading the Indonesia market to ‘frontier’ status, while traders remain alert for Japan’s yen intervention.

In this episode of Market Focus Weekly, JP Morgan Asset Management’s Raisah Rasid unpacks the market moves for the week – revealing the direction of travel for oil prices, how the AI story is evolving, and why South Korea’s tech sell off is not an exit signal.

Highlights:

01:24  Oil unlikely to return to pre Iran war levels soon

04:33 AI story is not broken, but evolving

06:37 Reducing concentration risk in tech heavy markets

10:11 Active stock selection crucial in Indonesia market

13:35 Yen intervention provides short-term relief
