Saxo Market Call

Rebalancing away from AI continues, USTs still a concern

Today, we note the extension of the recent boom in the broader market and small caps relative to tech, as the relative rotation away from AI continues and Broadcom is the latest AI/tech megacap to be punished despite reporting strong results for last quarter after the close yesterday. We also profile an intriguing and wildly successful name for the last thirty years that reports next week, assessing Micron and its massive advance. Lots more on today's pod as well, especially on macro and FX and ongoing concern about the US treasury market and its potential to drive market volatility.

Oracle spoils post-FOMC pump, can Broadcom save the day?

Today, a look at the S&P 500 attempting a new all-time high and the broader market bulling up strongly on the nominally dovish FOMC meeting, only to be spoiled by the Oracle earnings after the close as investors worry about the company's rate of spending and cloud revenue miss. Can Broadcom earnings today save the day? Also, Carvana is about to be added to the S&P 500, but is it an out-and-out fraud and an eventual zero as many short sellers would maintain?

The stunning silver surge, the FOMC and prepping for a jobs apocalypse.

Today, we look at the equity and treasury markets holding their collective breath ahead of the FOMC tonight and what to watch for in the market's reaction today, noting that key incoming US macro data is in the mix as well. We also talk gold, the surge in silver and the crude outlook with Saxo Head of Commodity Strategy Ole Hansen. Also, one key listen for today asks the question of what would the market trajectory look like if AI causes unemployment rates to rise to 20%?

Is a volatility expansion on tap across markets post FOMC?

Markets are a bit nervous here ahead of the FOMC meeting tomorrow and the delayed key US data, with the key question afoot of whether the US treasury yields are set for a break higher, which could drive higher volatility across all other asset classes. Elsewhere, rising yields driving fresh woes for the JPY, with USD traders holding their breath trying to sort through the reaction function to different scenarios for US data.

The 9-minute: Have we just seen a "harbinger of financial apocalypse"?

Today, a quick look around global markets, where the JPY can't find a bid as long as global bond markets are under pressure, the US stock market continues its odd, micro-volatile march higher and we have Netflix trying to acquire Warner Brothers-Discovery if the deal is approved, with the FT noting that some prior Warner Brothers takeovers have come at interesting market inflection points - see link below. Also, the big move in CAD on Friday and much more. Today's pod hosted by Saxo Global Head of Macro Strategy John J. Hardy.
