  • Supply-Demand Mechanics: Stock prices are ultimately governed by supply and demand. Large-scale public listings expand equity supply all at once, which can exert downward pressure on broader stock prices if market demand remains flat. [00:01:01]
  • The Corporate Buyback Offset: Concurrently, the market is experiencing a record volume of announced corporate stock buybacks, which contract equity supply. In April and May 2026 alone, buyback announcements totaled over $500 billion, heavily led by the technology sector. [00:01:34] While these announcements are massive, Fisher Investments notes that buybacks are frequently executed over extended, multi-year periods or fall short of authorized maximums, meaning they may not fully offset the immediate, concentrated supply shock of mega IPOs. [00:02:01]
  • Geographic Divergence: Growth in developed market equity supply is largely isolated to the United States. Conversely, overseas developed market equity supply is actively shrinking. [00:02:24] This clear structural contraction forms the core rationale for why Fisher Investments is more bullish on developed international markets outside the U.S. for the remainder of 2026. [00:02:33]
  • Sentiment & Post-IPO Performance: Excessive enthusiasm surrounding headline-grabbing debuts can act as an indicator of investor euphoria, signaling that a bull market may be entering its final, mature phase. However, a mature bull market can still persist for years. [00:02:41] Historical data demonstrates that most high-profile new listings experience an initial "pop" on debut before declining and trailing both the broader market and their direct industry peers over the subsequent few years. [00:03:04]

    • 2. U.S. Inflation Dynamics & May 2026 CPI Data

    • Headline CPI Print: U.S. Consumer Price Index data released on Wednesday, June 10, 2026, revealed that headline inflation accelerated to 4.2% year-over-year in May. This matched consensus analyst expectations, but it represents the highest inflation reading since April 2023 and marks the third consecutive month of headline growth. [00:03:21]
    • Energy Cost Drivers: The uptick was heavily concentrated in the energy sector, driven by high global oil prices linked to the escalating war in Iran. Gasoline prices spiked 40.5% year-over-year, and energy cost increases accounted for over 60% of May's total monthly inflation gains. [00:03:49]
    • Macro Assessment: Fisher Investments maintains that a sustained, broad-based cycle of high inflation remains unlikely. True structural inflation across a wide range of goods and services requires a rapid acceleration in the global money supply, which currently remains tame. [00:04:13] Furthermore, because the 4.2% reading perfectly matched expectations, the information was already priced into the market. Inflation expectations were already elevated, with the University of Michigan’s one-year ahead inflation expectations sitting at 4.8% in May. [00:04:37] Historically, equities perform fine across varied inflationary environments, meaning investors should remain disciplined rather than overreacting to single-month data points. [00:05:05]

    3. European Central Bank (ECB) Monetary Policy Tightening

    • Policy Rate Shift: On Thursday, June 11, 2026, the European Central Bank instituted its first interest rate hike in nearly three years, raising its key policy rate by 25 basis points to 2.25%. [00:05:21]
    • The Catalysts: The rate hike was implemented to combat rising Eurozone inflation driven by the war in Iran and to reaffirm the central bank's commitment to anchoring medium-term inflation to its 2% target. [00:05:39] The tightening move was widely anticipated by the market; the ECB's April meeting minutes previously revealed that leaving rates unchanged was a "close call" and that multiple members were already prepared to vote for a hike. [00:05:48]
    • Critique of Central Bank Overreach: Fisher Investments contends that the ECB and other central banks are overly anchored to the playbook of 2022, when inflation surged following Russia's invasion of Ukraine. [00:06:11] Because money supply growth is weak, attempting to curb supply-driven energy spikes via interest rate hikes is viewed as unnecessary. The critical macroeconomic risk to watch is not the localized inflation itself, but whether central banks over-tighten policy for the wrong reasons and inadvertently invert the yield curve. [00:06:35] Currently, the bond markets are reacting in an orderly manner, indicating this risk remains controlled. [00:06:50]
