Australian Dollar Price Action Setups: EUR/NZD, GBP/AUD, EUR/AUD
The Australian dollar retains the upper hand across several crosses, supported by renewed RBA hike bets and relatively firm domestic fundamentals. However, stretched short-term momentum suggests the Aussie may be vulnerable to some consolidation first, leaving room for rebounds in NZD, GBP and EUR before the broader trends potentially reassert themselves.

First Majestic Silver Corp. is upgraded to Hold, reflecting a now fair valuation and improved operational outlook amid continued gold and silver demand.

The valuation premium has deflated; at 8x EV/EBITDA, AG's YE27 price target is $21, offering little near-term upside versus consensus.

Affirmed Fed hawkishness, persistent inflation, and geopolitical uncertainty is rightly impacting the yield curve with upward YTM movements, threatening this duration. AI investment both in the immediate and longer-term is felt unfavorably by this duration as well.

Nvidia: This Fortress Can Withstand The Sentiment Storm
Nvidia Corporation's Q2 FY27 beat-and-raise confirmed exceptional AI demand, but margin pressure, rising supply commitments, and ecosystem financing increase risk. NVDA stock remains technically compressed near the top of its long-term range, while weakening semiconductor sentiment could trigger a broader sector correction. Long term, Nvidia's full-stack AI platform, rising revenue per gigawatt, and enterprise breadth reinforce its position as core infrastructure for accelerated computing.

FYX: Robust YTD Performance, But Weak Quality Amplifies Risks, It's A Hold Rating
I initiate coverage of the First Trust Small Cap Core AlphaDEX Fund ETF with a Hold rating, citing quality concerns and weak historical risk metrics. FYX's sophisticated, high-turnover strategy offers a considerable depth of exposure but also fairly weak quality, including a significant allocation to unprofitable, net CFFO-negative names. FYX has trounced IVV this year, yet its annualized active return over May 2016–July 2026 was negative, and the downside capture ratio was almost 116%.
