Yahoo Finance VideoTech stocks will perform if Fed pauses on rate increases: Strategist
Tech stocks have rebounded in the first half of the year, with the S&P 500 technology ETF (XLK) up almost 150%, after the industry was slammed by rising interest rates in 2022. With the Federal Reserve's next policy announcement coming up in May, investors are looking for light at the end of the rate-hike tunnel. Kenny Polcari, Kace Capital Advisors Managing Partner, tells Yahoo Finance that a Fed pause could be a benefit for the tech industry. Last week's weekly jobless claims bolstered bets that the Fed may pause its interest rate-hike cycle in an effort to tame inflation. "I think the cuts come in 2024, and then I would expect tech to continue to perform well," Polcari says. If the Fed is forced into another position to raise rates due to rising inflation, Polcari says it would be bad for the industry. "Tech isn't going to like that, and investors are going to take money out [of tech]...and a bunch of areas of tech...will immediately come under pressure," he says. Polcari spoke with Yahoo Finance's Brad Smith and Rachelle Akkuffo. Watch the entire interview here. Key Video Moments 00:00:03: Tech bull run 00:00:25: Fed pause camp 00:00:40: Inflation & tech
Yahoo Finance VideoCoursera CEO: ‘I’m pretty worried' about A.I.
While tech companies seek opportunities to pile into the A.I. craze, Coursera CEO Jeff Maggioncalda is voicing some caution on this new tech trend. As generative A.I. makes its way into the ed-tech and online education sector, Coursera’s chief executive officer says he’s “pretty worried” about the danger of artificial intelligence. Currently Coursera (COUR) is implementing A.I. as a learning coach- essentially acting as a “really smart tutor that can read all the material and explain it,” says Maggioncalda. However according the chief executive, caution with artificial intelligence comes with system controls. Once A.I. starts controlling systems, Maggioncalda says one has to be thoughtful about the “optimization that A.I. is pursuing...and what is our ability to monitor and control" its capabilities.
