Yesterday’s FOMC minutes spooked investors, accelerating the tech-led selloff. Officials remain worried about inflation, signaling they’d act before cutting rates, though the meeting occurred before the weak July jobs data hit. Powell’s speech tomorrow is expected to strike a balance—acknowledging labor market worries but keeping inflation top of mind. The US 2-30 year spread is widening on rate-c...

The AI trade may hit a reality check. Nasdaq tumbled as Big Tech names sold off sharply — Palantir plunged nearly 10%, Nvidia slid more than 3%, and other AI-linked stocks from Arm to AMD lost ground following a blunt MIT report showing 95% of companies investing in generative AI are yet to see returns, combined with OpenAI’s Sam Altman warning that valuations have become “insane.” Intel was the s...

Zelensky’s smooth reception in Washington raised optimism for a lasting truce, putting pressure on oil prices, while fresh attacks reminded traders that risks remain. Crude slipped back below $63pb, but optimism is already priced in. In individual news, Intel made headlines, tumbling after reports that Washington could take a 10% stake...

Markets are betting big on Fed rate cuts — with September odds split between a 25bp trim and whispers of a jumbo 50bp move. Softer CPI data fuelled dovish bets, but today’s PPI report could throw cold water on the frenzy if tariff-led costs push prices higher. Bond yields are testing recent lows, the dollar is down for a third straight session, and Bitcoin’s at fresh records. US stocks hit new hig...

Trump extended the tariff truce with China – which was set to expire today – by 90 more days, announced that gold will finally not be tariffed, and confirmed that Nvidia and AMD will pay the US government a 15% cut of their Chinese sales. He also said that his upcoming talk with the Russian President Putin will hardly lead to a sustainable truce if Ukraine doesn’t cede territory. As a result, Chin...

Meanwhile, Switzerland left Washington with no tariff relief, and a 39% levy looms over exports. In the US, oil broke below $65pb, jobless claims surged, and inflatio...

Tariff news is anything but soothing. Allies are spooked. Apple’s throwing $600 billion on the table — just to keep Trump calm. Welcome to The Trump Order — where global trade bends to one man’s will. India and Switzerland are caught in the crosshairs of aggressive new tariffs. Big Pharma could face duties of up to 250%. Apple is rushing to shift iPhone production to the U.S., but these relocation...

Mixed PMI data, sticky inflation, and a reality check for Federal Reserve (Fed) rate cut hopes are on the menu of today’s episode. Slower US service activity and hotter-than-expected price pressures have markets rethinking (but just a little) about a September rate cut, sending 2-year yields climbing. Meanwhile, Trump’s tariff threats — including on chips, drugs, and even countries buying Russian...

Markets kicked off the week with a bang as dip buyers jumped in, brushing off last week’s correction. With retail traders driving the rally and institutional investors still holding short positions, the S&P500 just had its best day since May. So, what’s fueling this optimism? Strong tech earnings, rising expectations of Fed rate cuts, and a belief that bad news is good news. But not everyone’s con...

Tariff chaos, a weakening US economy, Trump’s pressure on Federal Reserve (Fed) and the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) and an AI-driven tech rally — all in just two weeks. Market sentiment is turning sour even though the Fed cut expectations mount and the S&P500 earnings beat expectations. But is the S&P 500’s strength overstated? Are markets ignoring the recession signals? And who really pays f...
