A guiding principle at Morgan Stanley Research is to enhance

your investment process by delivering unique insights that

separate the signal from the noise. An intuitively designed and

well-crafted chart can often accomplish this with exceptional

clarity.

With that mission in mind, these charts in our recently published research stood out

to me.

1. US Equity Strategy: We view the June 5 sell-off as a healthy reset, but

positioning and liquidity still bear watching.

2. Global Technology: We believe surging memory prices and supply scarcity

are becoming a growing risk across the digital economy.

3. US Economics: Our estimate of the neutral real policy rate (r*) has risen,

posing a risk to our outlook for further Fed normalization in 2027.

4. North America Economics: Trade policy and AI are re-wiring US-Mexico-

Canada trade.

5. Japan Quant Equity Strategy: Japan's stock market has been viewed as

relatively unaffected by momentum, but we think this "conventional

wisdom" is changing.

6. India Private Credit: India is one of the fastest‑growing private credit

markets in Asia.

7. US Retail Hardlines: We expect tariff refunds to be material for many

companies in our US Hardlines coverage universe.

8. US Stock-Based Compensation: US corporates’ SBC is at an all-time high,

with virtually every sector increasing issuance Y/Y.
