Allspring’s Miletti Says Jackson Hole Outweighs Nvidia Risk
Ann Miletti thinks investors should pay close attention to the Jackson Hole economic meeting.
She believes it could create more uncertainty than Nvidia’s earnings report.
The meeting will include Federal Reserve Chairman Kevin Warsh.
Investors are watching to see what he says about inflation and interest rates.
Borrowing money has become more expensive for companies.
Long-term government bond yields also rose sharply this week.
Miletti thinks a small stock-market decline could help markets become steadier.
She prefers healthcare and small industrial companies because she sees potential in those areas.
Ann Miletti of Allspring Global Investments said Jackson Hole may pose more market uncertainty than Nvidia’s upcoming earnings.
The Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City symposium is scheduled for Aug. 28 and will be headlined by Fed Chairman Kevin Warsh.
Corporate borrowing costs have risen from below 5% at the start of the year to above 5.5%, Miletti said.
Thirty-year Treasury yields topped 5.3% this week before Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent doubled a planned debt buyback to $4 billion.
Miletti favors healthcare and small-cap industrial stocks and would welcome a further market correction to improve stability.
