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

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

The Treasury Department will auction $29 billion worth of 10-year notes today. More demand for the note would indicate investors are less worried about the inflation pass-through from the war.

“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.

Sevens Report: IGV Weakness Raises Tech Market Concerns

/in , /by

Tom Essaye warns lack of rebound in software ETF is a caution signal

IGV: If this Software ETF Can’t Rally, be Wary of Trading Tech Stocks

Fears that AI could have broader economic consequences weighed on software stocks in Q1, and that pressure remains evident in the iShares Expanded Tech-Software Sector ETF (IGV). The fund has not staged a meaningful rebound and continues to trade only modestly above its 2026 low, observes Tom Essaye, president of the Sevens Report Research.

Geopolitical tensions, including the Iran conflict, recently drove defensive flows into mega-cap tech. While that rotation supported broader indices, IGV did not participate and remains below recent highs.

Fundamentals have not materially deteriorated. AI concerns have not intensified, and recent software earnings were generally stable. However, the absence of upside momentum is notable.

A break below the February low would be a negative technical signal for tech and could weigh on the broader market. Even with potential geopolitical easing, AI uncertainty and private credit risks remain unresolved headwinds.

Tom Essaye joins Opening Bid host Brian Sozzi to discuss the latest data.

Jobs data disappointment fueled by AI displacement & more

Sevens Report founder Tom Essaye, Yahoo Finance Senior Reporter Brooke DiPalma, and Yahoo Finance Senior Reporter Ines Ferré join Opening Bid host Brian Sozzi to connect the dots on the latest data.

Everybody’s sort of making the assumption that the economy is fine, and I get it. Most of the data is showing pretty solid growth. But the reality is that we are still in a labor market that’s a bit in flux. Now, I don’t think the negative 92,000 number is necessarily exactly correct. I think that there was a strike that added 30, I think 1,000, and then the weather did have some sort of impact. But the reality is we are in a no hire, no fire labor market. and that’s fine as long as it’s stable. But if all of a sudden it can quickly go to a firing and layoff labor market, then we have an economic problem and that is exactly what we do not need given all the other headaches we have.

Sevens Report: AI Optimism Is Giving Way to Existential Fears

/in , /by

Tom Essaye says investors now worry AI could undermine entire business models.

Big Moves Have Rocked Stocks. There Might Be More to Come.

Yet “now investors fear it’ll go too far,” as Sevens Report President Tom Essaye writes. “Put simply, the concern now is that AI will boost productivity so much that it won’t just lead to reduced head count, it will lead to the elimination of the entire company and business!”

“AI spending is damaging the financial footing of the biggest tech companies in the markets and with no end to the spending in sight, this is making investors nervous that free cash flow from these companies will be depressed for years, all on the massive bet that AI is widely and aggressively adopted by the population,” writes Essaye. And don’t forget the rapidly growing Chinese competition.

Tom Essaye Talks About The Legitimacy of These AI Fears with Yahoo Finance

Tom Essaye Talks About The Legitimacy of These AI Fears with Yahoo Finance

AI scare: Citrini’s report is just a ‘thought experiment’ for now

Sevens Report Research founder Tom Essaye, Yahoo Finance Markets and Data Editor Jared Blikre, and Yahoo Finance Senior Reporter Ines Ferré assess the legitimacy of these AI fears as disruptions ripple across the software landscape. IBM (IBM) shares dropped yesterday while Wall Street investors adjust their price targets on Workday (WDAY).

So the whole AI enthusiasm, AI bull market has been driven on the idea that AI is going to make companies much more productive, right? Which means better margins and more earnings. But now, the thought is going beyond that. It’s saying, wait, it’s going to become so productive that we’re actually not even going to need all of these industries. And there won’t be jobs for people.

Sevens Report’s Essaye Warns Tech Investors on AI Uncertainty

/in , /by

Tom Essaye says skepticism around the AI boom is rising and weakness shouldn’t be dismissed.

Tech Investors Urged to Exercise Caution

Sevens Report President Tom Essaye is cautioning technology investors as uncertainty builds around the sustainability of the artificial intelligence-driven rally that has defined the past three years.

While Essaye notes the Nasdaq has not yet fallen enough to threaten the broader market, he argues that skepticism surrounding AI is reaching levels not seen during this bull cycle. He warns against brushing off recent weakness as a routine pullback, saying there are legitimate questions emerging about whether the boom can maintain its current trajectory.

Those concerns were amplified after Cisco Systems signaled potential margin pressure tied to ongoing memory-chip shortages, sending its shares sharply lower. The reaction highlights how sensitive investors have become to signs that elevated spending and supply constraints could weigh on profitability.

In a recent note, Essaye outlined several key risks: whether companies can sustain heavy AI-related capital expenditures, how long investors will tolerate delayed earnings payoffs, whether AI could cannibalize existing tech segments, and whether infrastructure constraints — particularly around data centers — may limit growth.

Given this backdrop, Essaye suggests investors consider diversifying beyond mega-cap technology names. As volatility increases and skepticism grows, the once-dominant AI trade may face a more challenging environment than it has at any point in the current bull market.

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.

Sevens Report: 10-Year Yield Remains ‘Neutral’ for Stocks

/in , /by

Tom Essaye says the 4.20% range keeps markets stable — for now.

10-Treasury yield rises, but remains in range seen as ‘neutral’ for stocks

Treasury yields were rising Monday morning, with the rate on the 10-year note reversing its decline from last week but still trading in a range that Sevens Report Research called “neutral” for the stock market.

“The 10-year Treasury yield has been well behaved through this recent stock market volatility and in the 4.20% range it remains neutral for markets generally speaking,” Tom Essaye, founder and president of Sevens Report Research, wrote in a note Monday. “That needs to continue, because a sudden plunge below 4.00% would signal growth concerns, while a jump above 4.50% would imply rising inflation risks and both would add incremental headwinds on stocks (and possibly bonds).”

Sevens Report: Gold and Silver Drop After Unsustainable Parabolic Run

/in , /by

Tom Essaye says last month’s precious-metals surge broke under its own weight.

Gold, silver losses ease after ‘disturbing’ safe haven sell-off

Gold and silver prices stabilized Monday after a violent selloff that reversed a parabolic rally and caught many investors off guard. According to Sevens Report Research founder Tom Essaye, the breakdown was inevitable given how stretched prices had become.

Essaye said the speed and magnitude of last week’s gains left the precious metals market vulnerable to a sharp correction. Once selling began, momentum flipped quickly as traders recognized that the recent advance was detached from sustainable fundamentals.

While the move was dramatic, Sevens views it as a technical reset rather than a signal that the broader bullish case for precious metals is broken. The firm has consistently cautioned that steep, momentum-driven rallies often end abruptly once confidence cracks, especially in crowded trades.

From here, price stability and consolidation will be key in determining whether gold and silver can rebuild upside momentum or remain vulnerable to additional volatility.
