The AI Trade Is Finally Cracking | Weekly Roundup
Show notes
Markets can look strongest just before their underlying assumptions begin to crack.
This week, we examine whether the AI-led growth narrative is beginning to unravel as positioning, macro data, and market structure all shift at once.
We discuss the AI momentum unwind, yen intervention, NFP & labor market weakness, Fed policy, gold, Bitcoin, and what we think is the next major trade. Enjoy!
