"When I talk to Americans, one of the biggest concerns I hear is, 'Why are housing costs so high?' In the past, Vance has blamed the housing affordability crisis largely on high interest rates.

Japan stocks rebounded sharply on Tuesday after the Nikkei 225 and the Topix dropped over 12% in the previous session. The Bank of Japan raising rates to their highest level since 2008 on July 30 caused the yen to strengthen to a seven-month high, pressurizing stocks. Markets globally were also spooked by fears of a U.S. recession stoked by a weaker-than-expected jobs report. Real wages in Japan also grew 1.1% in June compared with a year ago, the first time that wages have risen in 26 months.

Greenlight Capital's David Einhorn believes the outcome of the U.S. presidential election is insignificant to the markets, as he sees elevated inflation on the back of a burdening fiscal deficit under both candidates. "From a market perspective, we don't think it matters very much who wins," Einhorn wrote in a letter to investors dated Tuesday. We believe this supports our ongoing expectations of higher secular inflation in the coming years." Vice President Kamala Harris has entered the race following President Joe Biden's exit, going head to head with former President Donald Trump in the November election.

While several tech giants have taken a hit amid the crushed hype around artificial intelligence, Palantir Technologies is an AI beneficiary that is here to stay, according to Bank of America. "We liken the market, industry, and investor attitudes toward AI to that of the California gold rush," Mora wrote in a Tuesday note to clients, adding that the "AI rush" appears to have run dry given the recent tech sell-off. "As it was with the gold rush, the real benefactors were the entrepreneurs that supported the rush.
