UBS Says Europe Needs AI Capex Shift for 3-Month Stock Rally as Hormuz Deal Lifts 1-Week Trade

Summary
Bhanu Baweja said Monday’s jump in European equities looks like a one-week trade, not a three-month rally, even after the US and Iran reached an interim deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
A sustained advance needs several conditions, led by capital spending broadening away from artificial intelligence, which Baweja called key to extending Europe’s stock rally.
Consumer cyclicals and banks could rip higher in the near term as the Hormuz reopening eases an immediate geopolitical overhang on European markets.
The call suggests Europe’s latest pop still depends more on tactical relief than on the broader earnings and investment rotation needed for a longer-lasting run.
