Today's pod offers a brief market wrap on the big shift higher in US treasury yields and the impact on the US dollar, metals and crypto and whether yields can continue higher, noting the important event risks incoming next week. But the main event in today's episode is a long-form conversation with a great friend of the podcast, Peter Garnry of Gesda Capital. We covered the Nvidia situation, the company's importance for the AI trade, broader thoughts on the status of the AI space and where the value creation lies and much much more. Today's pod hosted by Saxo Global Head of Macro Strategy John J. Hardy.

Today, a look at yesterday's strong and stunning US equity market comeback as we try to determine whether we should take this as a positive signal for the remainder of the year or retain a bit of caution at the two-way tantrums that have just been unleashed over the last three trading days. With Saxo Head of Commodity Strategy Ole Hansen we cover the outlook and drivers for the oil market, precious metals, copper and grains. Also, we look into the risks linked to the Nvidia scandal, the latest on macro and FX and much more. Today's host is Saxo Global Head of Macro Strategy John J. Hardy.

- An exchange on X between Arnaud Bertrand and others on the spygate scandal with Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang. It's important to ask the "why did this happen?" question in the Jensen Huang case if it the story wasn't leaked from US intelligence from mere ineptitude.
- Some people are wildly bullish on the space economy and AI, even predicting self assembly of tech in orbit from space debris.
- CNBC on the odd uptick in the long-term unemployed in the US - this deserves tracking and we need a deeper explanation.
- WSJ on Elizabeth Warren's coming power as the head of the powerful US Senate Banking Committee - the power to initiate hearings and issue subpoenas, for example.
- A long-form interview with Louis Vincent Gave, which includes the argument that Europe should embrace the deflation coming from China. Somehow I don't think that is how this is going to play out.

Today, we assess the comeback in the AI trade on Friday and ongoing market divergences, while wondering how much Nvidia CEO Huang's affair with a Chinese intelligence operative might impact Nvidia besides Huang personally. Also, we note he market's rather dismissive reaction to a strong US job report Friday, perhaps as tomorrow's CPI number weighs more. This and much more on today's pod, which is hosted by Saxo Global Head of Macro Strategy John J. Hardy.

Today, a look at yesterday's historic meltdown in US equities, which broadened out to the almost all sectors in addition to the ground zero of the AI trade. We look at new developments in intermarket dynamics on this move as well, especially in currencies as the US dollar finally came alive as a safe haven as in the days of yore. This and much more on post-election thoughts from the pod host, Global Head of Macro Strategy at Saxo Bank John J. Hardy.

Today, we look at the remarkable US equity market session yesterday, as the market fears that the Democratic mid-term sweep will slow the pace of data centre buildouts, sending data center infrastructure and chip companies into a tailspin even as the broader market rallied steeply. How durable is this trade? Also, further thoughts on the implications of the US mid-terms, macro and FX developments and much more. Today's pod is hosted by Saxo Global Head of Macro Strategy John J. Hardy.

Today we look at the massive rebuke of Trump and the Republicans across the US as the Senate, House and Governors' races across the nation tilted far more strongly to the Democrats than almost anyone was prognosticating. We note how the market is absorbing the news and look at what matters next for markets and how they will interact with the coming political cycle as well as the immediate aftermath of this historic election.

Today, a last minute look at the odds shift in the US mid-term elections and whether we are facing a blue wave or even a "blue tsunami" in favour of the Democrats. We also put the magnifying class to the notion that the US mid-term elections are a good time to put money to work in the US stock market. Elsewhere, we dive into yesterday's wild market internals, the somewhat less wild macro and FX backdrop and much more. Today's pod is hosted by Saxo Global Head of Macro Strategy John J. Hardy.

Today, a look at a wild and woolly trading session on Friday, as the market was reluctant to hold risk over the weekend, perhaps, and on the carnage to many AI names after key earnings reports spooked much of the AI sector. It is worth noting that on balance, October was a strong to very strong month for almost all non-tech sectors, something many portfolios may not have felt. Also, we preview the week ahead in macro and day ahead in earnings reports and much more. Today's pod hosted by Saxo Global Head of Macro Strategy John J. Hardy.

Today - a market wrap after another big downdraft in AI names and even the broader market this time, as Amazon and Intel results sent chills and on the fear and loathing on the risks of the Iran War resuming in force. But most of all, a very long form take on the US mid-term elections next Tuesday, with thoughts on what could be at stake for both markets and US politics, not to mention the longer term outlook and important durable themes. Today's pod hosted by Saxo Global Head of Macro Strategy John J. Hardy.
Links
- The slide deck for the US mid-terms.
- Specific US mid-term elections where the issue of data centers is in play.
- The SCMP on US tipping culture gone out of control - also whether it is a part of the creeping cost of living problem in the US and whether it is getting picked up in official measures of inflation. I have noticed this on travels back to the US in recent years - very annoying. Shouldn't businesses pay their workers a living wage rather than harassing customers?
- Thoughtful Saxo Market Call podcast listener Mat Casey sent in his own vibe check of the American voter, especially on the issue of AI in his travels across America.
- Michael McNair ponders whether the Binance hack could have been due to an employee compromised by blackmail linked to AI hacking tools. In other words, nasty operators can gain access to the corporate and other systems by hacking individuals' lives to use their online activity to blackmail them into surrendering their credentials.

Today, the market ended Wednesday on a positive move as the FOMC proved semi-dovish, at least according to market impressions, while the vibe changed sharply after the close on Alphabet's earnings miss relative to expectations, though most of the sentiment damage seems limited. ServiceNow got fewer headlines but was down 18.5% on its earnings report, triggering contagion across SaaS stocks. Elsewhere, we break down the FOMC event yesterday, today's ECB and the focus on a successor for President Lagarde as she announced today she will leave her post in February. This and much more on today's pod, which is hosted by Saxo Global Head of Macro Strategy John J. Hardy.

- Aswath Damodaran takes a stab at assessing Anthropic's market value, wild assumptions and all, ahead of its IPO. Yes, the assumptions for his model inputs may prove way off, but once we know more in the quarters ahead, we can plug some of the new figures into Damodaran's still useful overall model. Other voices are certainly sceptical.
- The SCMP covers the EU weighing in on ditching Chinese suppliers, which European businesses are not happy about. Sovereign control of supply chains versus the hoping that China will remain a reliable supplier without imposing conditions - which side wins out?
- An Italian advisor to Italy's Ministry of Defence argues that critical mineral stockpiling would be a mistake and that countries need vertically integrated supply chains to secure critical materials supply chains. (use Grok translate if you don't read Italiano).
- WSJ covers wild demand to take a very difficult, very classics- and fiction reading intensive Humanities 10 course at Harvard - does this reflect a rebellion against what AI is doing to us all cognitively?

Today, covering the strong session yesterday and overnight in Asia for much of the AI hardware space, although Seagate Technology was a notable exception overnight and wondering how much of the story is linked to the incoming Anthropic IPO. Certainly an important test for the AI trade as three Mag7 hyperscalers are reporting today (Microsoft and Alphabet and tomorrow (Amazon.com). Lots going on in central bank landing as all G3 central banks are set to meet today through Friday, so it feels like a pivotal timeframe for nearly everything. This and more on today's pod, which is hosted by Saxo Global Head of Macro Strategy John J. Hardy.

- WSJ with a long form profile of Google's top AI guy Demis Hassabis and why he believes the world is set to change radically (not sure how much it delivered on the latter, but Hassabis is an excellent communicator worth listening to).
- A well-written review of the Nathan Fielder documentary of Elizabeth Holmes. Aren't self delusional sociopaths fascinating? And are there some other CEO's out there, amybe some atop AI companies, that share 10-20% or more of the Holmes profile, especially because self delusion can dovetail so temptingly with financial self interest?
- Schroder's asks whether the titanic US pension system is a hidden risk for global equity markets, both due to AI and passive investing. Certainly, passive investing is arguably what drives the "wealth pump" in Peter Turchin's framework and is the single most important thing to follow in how our market system will either continue to provide strong returns or suffer a profound reset.

Today, a look at another US equity market session Friday marked by huge market divergences as we also look into what may be driving this phenomenon. Elsewhere, we preview a very busy week ahead, with the big three central banks all set to meet this week and an ongoing blitz of incoming earnings reports, with three of the Mag7 reporting. Perhaps most importantly, we remind of the terrible overhang of geopolitical uncertainty as Israel and the US are posturing with significant force build-ups in the Middle East. This and more in today's pod, which is hosted by Saxo Global Head of Macro Strategy John J. Hardy.

- This one went really viral: a retrospective on the 2028 AI Bubble crash, written as if the year is 2030. I didn't note on the podcast that the piece also has a positive on how AI will impact the economy, even if a bubble would be harmful for investors. Think the railroad and internet backbone boom/busts.

- Two long-form podcasts for you today, one with Vincent Deluard talking his bearish call on equities and understated inflation, and another one with Richard Mullin on the potential for a secular commodities bull market and more.

Today we break down the big sell-off in US equities, as ironically there were almost twice as many gainers as losers in the S&P 500 yesterday, with the selling chiefly focused on AI-related companies. Elsewhere, it was a much bigger day for bonds, which rallied steeply as US treasuries finally functioned as a proper and unambiguous safe haven, at least for a day. The impact on FX from that was also interesting, as the JPY stirred more forcefully. This and much more on today's pod, which is hosted by Saxo Global Head of Macro Strategy John J. Hardy.

Today, we look at the violent vibe shift in the US equity market, which crumbled overnight after a quite positive session, led by the very high momentum sectors that posted a solid result yesterday. It doesn't feel like this is all coming from negative reactions to earnings results from the likes of Tesla or Lam Research - but what is it? We wonder if it could be geopolitics. Also on today's pod, we delve way back into the financial history of the 1870's depression and its origins and aggravations, whether hedge fund strategies that are blowing up are further aggravating the French debt market instabilities and much more.

- The eFinancialCareers story that anecdotally suggests some of the stress on French debt could be down to ill-advised bets that mean reversion on French yield spreads would remain operative.
- HT to Cory Doctorow for this substack post on the Singularity (when AI and technology suddenly begin outstripping human capabilities and possibly leading to our merging machines), which like nuclear fusion always seems to be 20 years away. The post has a couple of book recommendations from the early 2000's on what the Singularity might look like. I asked ChatGPT for some more up-to-date recommendations, and it gave me this one and this one from Ray Nayler, which look very interesting, but also this one and this one, number three from Adrian Tchaikovsky's Dogs of War series. I haven't read the latter, but did read his Dogs of War - incredibly highly recommended speculative fiction book that is "A gripping exploration of AI, free will, personhood and the ethics of creating intelligent beings as weapons.", an apt ChatGPT summary. There is also Toward Eternity by Anton Hur, which is apparently more about transhumanism.
The PHP2shell hack is getting a lot of attention. People like French grocery stores that don't patch their freezer firmware could still be at risk.

Today, a look at yet another day of US equity market divergences, as the major indices and semiconductors posted an indifferent to slightly negative day while most stocks were up solidly on the day. This rhymes with another market from around the years 2000-01. Also, a look at SpaceX and Netflix earnings and the very different reactions. French yields and much more also on today's pod, which is hosted by Saxo Global Head of Macro Strategy John J. Hardy.

Today, we look at the markets trying to get back in a positive mood yesterday in the US, but with the broader market and the rest of the world not having any of it as oil prices surged once again and as the situation in France continues to fester. Discomfort with stability of AI "neo-cloud" companies is also weighing. With earnings season hitting full swing this week, we wonder why SpaceX is suddenly set to report earnings today. This and much more on today's pod, which is hosted by Saxo Global Head of Macro Strategy John J. Hardy.

Today, a look at a massive comeback from further steep selling in US equities, establishing a critical line in the sand for the major indices and especially AI-adjacent names from here, effectively a bull-bear line. Elsewhere, Tesla demonstrated its new Roadster, which can both "fly" for an unknown number of seconds and "suck" itself to the road, allowing for beyond vertical adherence to a road surfaces and supposedly insane cornering abilities. Useful. More importantly, a deep-dive on the global oil picture and the troublesome Brent futures contract with Saxo Head of Commodity Strategy Ole Hansen and so much more on today's pod, which is hosted by Saxo Global Head of Macro Strategy John J. Hardy.

- Elon Musk shows off the supposedly coming-in-2028 Tesla Roadster - an admittedly beautiful car with pointless and over-the-top suck and blow features.
- Robert Pape posts on the doubling of support for political violence in the US, with the anti-Trump respondents more in favour, though we wonder if that is because Trump happens to hold power.
- A Fox News poll puts government corruption at the top of the list of voters concerns, ahead of the inflation and the cost of healthcare. Not sure Trump has a good answer for that one.

Today, a look at a wild day for US treasuries as a hot US CPI print first pumps US treasury yields, only to see longer-dated yields end the day at the lowest level in weeks. The US dollar followed yields lower and the implication is that treasuries may be a safe haven again as in the days of yore, given that stocks were generally weak for the entire post-CPI episode yesterday. This and much more, including what is spooking this market and where to focus next as earnings season hits full stride next week. Today's pod is hosted by Saxo Global Head of Macro Strategy John J. Hardy.

Today we look at the Russia diesel deal that will, spoiler alert, fail to meaningfully impact the supply situation for any length of time, but also consider the risk of a Ukraine-US rift. Elsewhere, macro traders are holding their breath for this Wednesday's US September CPI report, Palantir has just bolted to a new all time high and earnings season is set to kick off in earnest tomorrow. Today's pod features Saxo Head of Commodity Strategy Ole Hansen and is hosted by Saxo Global Head of Macro Strategy John J. Hardy.

Today, a look at the sudden contagion across markets Thursday on the FT reporting that OpenAI's revenue run rate is supposedly lower than OpenAI has claimed, with subsequent analysis inconclusive because of the opacity of the data, allowing markets to largely come full circle from the reaction, but at the same time revealing the risk of market fragility should an important AI-linked company report something negative.

Today, we note the rather ugly risk off tone across markets, with strong Samsung and TSMC earnings reports received somewhat poorly by the market overnight in Asia.

Today we look at the crush lower in short term sovereign bond yields, especially in Europe, where Germany's bonds were bid while French and even Italian longer dated bonds remain stressed, a key focus for European markets and increasingly for the euro currency.
