What are credit markets signalling about the AI trade?

AI chip demand remains strong, but debt-funded expansion is under strain as borrowing costs rise. Investors rotated away from AI names towards financials, healthcare and materials, while stronger-than-expected US inflation added pressure to the interest rate outlook.

In this week's Monday Espresso Podcast, Rory is joined by Andrew Shaw, Senior Investment Analyst at Marlborough, to discuss:

CoreWeave’s credit warning signals and funding pressures across the interconnected AI sector.

US inflation surprises and why higher rates matter for valuations and indebted companies.

Improving market breadth and what upcoming earnings could reveal about growth and AI spending.

While the S&P 500 approaches new highs, more than a third of its constituent stocks are in technical bear-market territory. Meanwhile, rising bond yields, SpaceX’s move into mobile services and renewed questions around AI revenues are adding fresh complexity to the global market picture.

In this week's Monday Espresso Podcast, Rory is joined by Andrew Shaw, Senior Investment Analyst, to discuss:

- Why a handful of AI and energy companies are driving much of the US market’s performance.
- How SpaceX’s expansion into mobile services has unsettled telecommunications stocks.
- What the OpenAI revenue headlines reveal about market expectations and the importance of understanding the underlying numbers.

How sustainable is a market rally when performance is concentrated in so few companies?

- US 10-year government bond yields above 5% and September’s 29,000 new jobs, against 90,000 expected.
- What Micron’s strong results suggest about AI memory demand, and why its shares barely moved.

Your Will Is More Than a Document. It's a Plan for the People Who Matter Most.

Many people assume that once a will has been signed, the job is done. Yet life rarely stands still. Changes in family circumstances, assets, legislation, or residency can all have implications for your estate plan, making regular review essential.

Join us for an informative Zoom webinar on Wednesday, 24 June 2026 at 3pm, where we explore why a well-structured will remains one of the most important components of a comprehensive financial plan.

Fiduciary expert Leslie Swart (Carrick Consult), will be in conversation with Private Wealth Manager David Monteiro (Carrick Wealth), to offer practical guidance and insights. During the session, we will discuss:
Warning signs that your Will may no longer be fit for purpose
What can go wrong if your Will is outdated
What happens if you die without a valid Will
Key considerations when drafting a Will
Conclusion - A Will is more than a document

This session is ideal for anyone who has not yet drafted a will, has not reviewed their will recently, or wants to better understand the role a will plays in estate planning.
