Need to see strong demand in the 10-Yr auction says Tom Essaye

Treasuries Are Soaring in Relief Rally. A Key Auction Is Ahead.

“It will be important to see strong demand in the 10-Yr auction to assure investors’ stagflation worries have eased amid the ceasefire,” wrote Tom Essaye, founder of The Sevens Report.

All the market cares about is ‘no more further escalation

The VIX Falls Below 30. Latest Iran Headlines Calm the Market’s Fear Gauge for Now.

“All the market cares about is ‘no more further escalation,'” Sevens Report Research’s Tom Essaye told Barron’s. “As things are now, we can live with. The fear is it continues to escalate, and now we’ve got attacks all over the place in the Persian Gulf. And this appears to take the teeth out of that—although it is sort of impossible to figure out what the ‘truth’ is going to be in a few hours.”

Price volatility in oil futures remains historically extreme right now said Tyler Richey

Oil futures lose more than 11%, as energy ministers consider release of emergency crude reserves

“Price volatility in oil futures remains historically extreme right now,” said Tyler Richey, co-editor at Sevens Report Research. It is “safe to expect more volatility in the sessions ahead regardless of the direction, as the market has become almost entirely headline-driven with keen focus on the Middle East,” he told MarketWatch.

Tom Essaye Quoted in Barron’s discussing AI Anxiety

 The report is nothing new for a market that has been gripped with AI anxiety

The Dow Falls 800 Points. Wall Street Is Worried AI Could Be Bad for Financial and Discretionary Stocks, Too.

Sevens Report Research’s Tom Essaye told Barron’s that the report is nothing new for a market that has been gripped with AI anxiety in recent weeks.

“Importantly, I don’t think anything new has occurred that is negative,” Essaye says. “It just seems to be the market focusing on the same narrative from two weeks ago. So while that’s not gonna make a difference today – nothing new and bad has occurred.”

Sevens Report: Tech Can Rally, but AI Dominance Is Uncertain

/in , /by

Tom Essaye says software ETF IGV must stabilize before AI fears ease.

In a Broader Rally, Tech Can Still Win—But Maybe Not Dominate

Technology stocks may continue to participate in a broader market rally, but their dominance is no longer assured, according to Sevens Report President Tom Essaye.

Essaye says growing concerns that artificial intelligence could cannibalize parts of the software industry have created the most uncertain backdrop for the AI-driven bull market in three years. He points to the iShares Expanded Tech-Software Sector ETF (IGV) as a key barometer, arguing that the fund must stabilize before broader confidence in AI stocks can return.

In his view, IGV holding above last week’s low is critical. Without that technical support, skepticism surrounding AI spending, earnings sustainability, and lofty valuations could intensify. Essaye cautions investors against dismissing the recent weakness as routine volatility, noting that legitimate questions are emerging about whether expectations have outpaced reality.

That said, Sevens Report does not believe the outlook for AI and tech has turned outright negative. Major technology companies are still delivering earnings growth, but elevated expectations and aggressive capital-expenditure plans leave less room for error.

For investors seeking diversification, Essaye suggests looking beyond mega-cap tech to equal-weight, value, developed international, and low-volatility strategies. While tech can still win in a broader rally, its leadership may no longer be automatic.

“If AI begins to make entire, large sectors of tech no longer needed, that is a problem for the Nasdaq and the S&P 500 and that loss of earnings could offset AI efficiency gains in the short and medium term,” wrote Tom Essaye, president of the Sevens Report. “If AI blows up large market sectors, that won’t be good for the S&P 500.”

I Think It Would Help Sentiment – Says Tom Essaye

I think it would help sentiment, says Tom Essaye

Review & Preview: It’s Only January?

“If we could go a weekend without some sort of tariff threats, or arresting of a foreign leader, or threatening to bomb Iran—if we could go a couple of days, I think the market would appreciate it,” Sevens Report Research’s Tom Essaye told me. “I think it would help sentiment a bit and let us refocus on the data—which is pretty Goldilocks—and earnings, which, on balance, are fine.”

Sevens Report Warns Bitcoin Selling Could Trigger a “Doom Loop”

Bitcoin Just Had Its Worst Week in Months. Why Cryptos and Stocks Went in Different Directions Today.

“From a demand perspective it appears there is an early, yet growing, sense of concern that could evolve into full-on panic if the selling pressure continues to intensify further than it already has, as lower prices would prompt more selling in a doom loop of sorts,” analysts at financial research firm Sevens Report wrote on Friday.

AI Stocks Face Caution as Broader Market Slips, Says Essaye

/in , /by

Tom Essaye notes recent weakness outside AI but calls the selling “knee-jerk,” not the start of a larger downturn.

Review & Preview: Tech Check

“Essentially the rest of the stock market has been going down for over a week now and the only thing that’s been holding the S&P 500 up are the AI names,” Sevens Report Research’s Tom Essaye told me. “And now we have a very direct series of headlines of caution…on the increases in the AI-related stock prices.”

Still, this might simply be “knee-jerk selling,” according to Essaye.

“I don’t think that this is the start of something much bigger,” Essaye says. “The market seems absolutely fine, still embracing a lot of these AI-related headlines, but I do think that we’re going to get these temporary moments of caution because the whole debate ‘Is AI a bubble or not?’ it’s still incredibly unsettled.”
