The market was desperate for FOMC takeaways, but alas, despite interesting details, the overall picture was one that mostly validated the existing lay of the land, resulting in some choppy market action but no big changes in the macro or FX picture by later this morning in Europe, though risk appetite seems to be getting a further boost. Are equity investors overreaching soon? Also on today's pod, single stock news, a look at the upcoming Bank of Japan meeting tonight as the JPY punches to new lows in place and much more.

Today, some final thoughts on what could be a shambolic FOMC meeting, given the risk of a three-way vote and possibly vague statements, given the possible influence of newly minted Fed Governor Stephen Miran. Also, a very interesting development yesterday suggests Fed control of interest rates is slipping - or is this just a one off because of tonight's meeting? Elsewhere, the US dollar has broken down. This, some must reads and must listens and more on today's pod, which is hosted by Saxo Global Head of Macro Strategy John J. Hardy.

Today, a breakdown of the market action yesterday in US equities, with big games in Google-parent Alphabet and even bigger gains in an "old tech" stock that has suddenly been revivified by AI. We also look forward to the FOMC tomorrow and wonder why the Fed doesn't go ahead and cut 50 basis points, even if they are most likely not to. Meanwhile, the US dollar is already breaking lower ahead of the fact - after all, isn't the hawkish scenario non-existent?  Lots more also on today's pod which is hosted by Saxo Global Head of Macro Strategy John J. Hardy. Links discussed on the podcast and our Chart of the Day can be found on the John J. Hardy substack (with a one- to two-hour delay from the time of the podcast release).

Today we look through the divergences that continue to characterize the action across US equities, with some of the most speculative areas - especially Tesla - on fire on Friday even as the median stock had a rather weak day. As volatility continues to crush lower, this could mean we are headed for a volatility breakout, but in what direction? Also, a look at geopolitical developments, including in rare earths, some must reads and much more. Today's pod hosted by Saxo Global Head of Macro Strategy John J. Hardy.

Today we profile European companies with exposure to AI with Saxo Equity Strategist Ruben Dalfovo, as we continue to wonder what AI names may be in a bubble. Elsewhere, we note ongoing divergences in this market, largely brush off the impact of yesterday's US economic data as we focus on a possibly pivotal week ahead, given the FOMC is set to meet Wednesday and the Bank of Japan on Friday. This and much more on today's pod, which is hosted by Saxo Global Head of Macro Strategy John J. Hardy. Link to Ruben's article on European companies with strong AI exposure.

The market is taking Oracle at its word in its longer term guidance on cloud infrastructure growth. We wonder instead whether an AI bubble is incipient here and if so, which dozen or so stocks should be in the "AI Bubble Basket" we are considering identifying as a talking point from here. The set of names we are considering will be listed on the John J. Hardy substack (see link below - please let us know your thoughts there!). Otherwise on today's pod, a discussion of other key single stock news and Adobe earnings incoming tonight, the key macro data incoming, gold correction risks, the US political storm set to intensify on the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk and much more.

Today we feature Saxo equity strategist Ruben Dalfovo helping break down what is driving the moon-shot in Oracle shares after the company blew the doors off of expectations with forward cloud infrastructure bookings in its earnings call after the close yesterday. We also look at the Klarna IPO forthcoming today, Novo Nordisk shares rallying on the company's cost reductions, the latest in geopolitics, macro and currencies and much more.

Today we look at the lackluster session in the US yesterday as we remain nominally bearish with no readily identifiable catalyst in sight. And clear that the catalyst would need to be AI related to puncture this market's confidence. The next best candidate would be Oracle's earnings today after the close, though we have no visibility on what they will report. Also today, a discuss of the weak US dollar that would normally be weaker still given the backdrop, whether the US risks a government shutdown and much much more.

Today, we look at the fallout from the US jobs report, as bonds rallied and the US dollar sold off, while equities churned in place, with many AI names under pressure. Today's topics also include the latest surge in gold, its drivers and where it may be headed, the turbulence in many AI names, driven in part by OpenAI's new initiatives making waves, previewing Oracle's earnings report tomorrow after the close, the macro and FX fallout from the US jobs data and political uncertainty in Japan and France and more.

Today - a look at the market remaining in complacency mode, boosted by a drop in yields and later by Broadcom's apparent coming collaboration with OpenAI on new chips. Also, new geopolitical developments, speculating on coming Trump announcement later today (including on a possible revaluation of US gold reserves), earnings coming up next week, the US jobs data today, a general sense of foreboding that something big is about to happen to this market, and much more.

From DeepSeek’s AI breakthrough to Alibaba’s chip ambitions and Meituan’s open-source model, it’s no question that China’s tech is rising fast. With policy tailwinds, a massive domestic market, and a wide valuation gap, investors are asking: can China rival U.S. tech dominance? Join Dan Koh as he speaks to Sean Teo, Sales Trader at Saxo, on China’s tech momentum, Nvidia’s challenge, and how investors can position. Plus, a look at the U.S. jobs report, inflation, and whether a Fed rate cut is coming this September.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today we run through equity markets trying to reset after the jump and retreat in global yields, possibly linked to the Trump tariff ruling as we await the Supreme Court ruling on tariffs as the next step. Elsewhere, Saxo Equity Strategist Ruben Dalfovo looks at the latest earnings reports yesterday, especially Figma and Salesforce, which both traded lower after their reports. He also previews what we should look for from Broadcom reporting after the close today and profiles precious metals mining companies (see link to article below). This and more, including some dark thoughts on history taking a dramatic step forward this week after China's Xi teamed up with Putin and Kim Jong Un at the Beijing parade.

Today, an attempt to root out the sources of yesterday's ugly bout of risk off, with sovereign debt markets quite possibly driving much of the unease as several countries saw new cycle highs in 30-year yields. We also break down the reaction, if inconsistent, across currencies to new stresses in bond markets as we await key US labor market data while the market doesn't know what data to trust.

Toen gevoelige medische gegevens van bijna een half miljoen vrouwen op straat belandden, was dat voor Chantal Stekelenburg en Ellen Mok de druppel. Ze richtten de Digitale Dolle Mina’s op: een groep vrouwen uit de cybersecurity die strijden voor betere digitale bescherming en eerlijke voorlichting. Samen met Randal bespreken ze hoe zo’n datalek vrouwen disproportioneel raakt, waarom het huidige systeem faalt, en hoe politieke en bestuurlijke verantwoordelijkheid vaak ontbreekt. Over cybersecurity, medische privacy, feminisme en de kracht van digitale actie.Reclame: Saxo Bank Beleggen, maar dan zonder gedoe?

Today we discuss the ramp in metals prices as we are finally over the summer doldrums, although the US has yet to open after the long holiday weekend. Something seems to be spooking markets overnight and into early European trading, and that something may be the fresh grind higher in long interest rates, with the long UK Gilt, for example, hitting its highest yield level since 1998 this morning. We also look at the impact on currencies and possibly the stock market from this latest rise in rates.

De laatste paar maanden van het jaar lijken een heftige rit te worden. De risico's stapelen zich op: de Europese economie verzwakt, het oneindige AI-optimisme kalft af, de onafhankelijkheid van de Amerikaanse centrale bank ligt onder vuur, en er is nog altijd onzekerheid rond importheffingen vanuit de VS. Daartegenover wijst de Wall Street Journal op de enorm opgelopen waarderingen van de S&P 500 bedrijven. Die zijn zelfs duurder dan voor het barsten van de Dotcom-bubbel. Stevenen we op een nieuwe crisis af? Wat is de grootste bedreiging? En hoe zorg je dat je daar levend doorheen komt? Dat zoeken we deze aflevering voor je uit. Dan hebben we het ook over het crisismanagement bij Meta. Mark Zuckerberg had een paar maanden geleden nog een gat in z'n hand. Hij gaf miljarden uit om overal het allerbeste AI-talent vandaan te plukken. Maar dat hobbyproject lijkt uit te lopen op een miljardenflop. Die knappe koppen komen namelijk nu al tot de conclusie dat de beste optie misschien is om hun AI in te kopen bij de concurrent. Overigens hoor je ook over het bewijs dat de AI van Meta nog niet op het gewenste niveau is. Hun chatbots blijken namelijk nogal wel eens de regels te overtreden, en bekendheden na te doen die daar geen toestemming voor hebben gegeven. En daar blijft het niet bij... Verder gaat het nog over de schrik in het Witte Huis. Het federale hof van beroep heeft besloten dat Trump zijn importheffingen nooit zo had mogen doorvoeren. En er komen weer nieuwe exportrestricties voorbij. Op chipmachines. Gelukkig niet die van ASML of ASMI, maar van Amerikaanse bedrijven. Die mogen niet meer naar de fabrieken van Samsung en SK Hynix in China.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today's slide deck: https://bit.ly/41sbzFO   -  Today we look at the S&P 500 index hitting a record high, while breadth is lacking and the Nasdaq 100 is still below its cycle highs. In single names, we wonder whether Nvidia is struggling to find direction on the enormous options expiry today and together with Saxo Equity Strategist Ruben Dalfovo we preview earnings reports from three interesting tech companies next week, including hard-charging Broadcom. Some thoughts on gold, FX and more on the call. Hosting today's pod was Saxo Global Head of Macro Strategy John J. Hardy.

Today features special guest and former Saxonian, Peter Garnry, CEO and Co-founder of Gesda Capital, who takes us through his thoughts on Nvidia after the earnings call yesterday and especially its medium to longer term growth potential versus the current valuation. We also cover Crowdstrike and Snowflake earnings, where Peter looks for investment opportunities when so many pockets of the market are overvalued, thoughts on the geopolitical backdrop and much more.

Today, a look at how the market may treat the Nvidia earnings call tonight almost irrespective of the quality of its results if big money has made up its mind what it wants to do with AI names before the event risk itself. We also delve further into what is at stake as Trump continues to go after political control of the Fed, particularly for gold. Also: soybeans and lumber are two commodities that are heavily affected by Trump tariffs and the prospects for trade deals, the euro still could face a big test here, and much more.

Today, a look at markets unwinding much of the reaction to the Powell's Jackson Hole speech, the bad vibes in Europe this morning as French politics are set for another showdown into a September 8 confidence vote, Trump's trying to fire the Fed's Lisa Cook and whether he can succeed, AI-related names that are nervous ahead of Nvidia's big earnings report tomorrow after the close, crypto markets on edge and much more.

Today we pick apart the market drama that unfolded in the wake of a modestly dovish Jackson Hole speech from Fed Chair Powell, with market divergences more compelling to discuss than the speech itself and its boost to the broader market. We also emphasize that the week ahead could prove a pivotal one as the AI theme faces its critical quarterly test in the shape of Nvidia's earnings on Wednesday after the US market close and US Labor Day marks the end of summer. FX reactions, anecdotes, links and more also on today's pod, which is hosted by Saxo Global Head of Macro Strategy John J. Hardy.

(available within two hours of this episode upload) Today we focus on possible correction targets for this drawdown, should it continue, and welcome Saxo Equity Strategist Ruben Dalfovo to the pod, who leads us through his assessment of Nvidia going into next Wednesday's critical earnings call. The China angle for Nvidia is picking up interest of late - will China try to "go it alone" entirely on AI silicon and systems? Also on the pod, a reminder to keep an eye on the JGB market, which continues to pressurize, a look at the Jackson Hole speech incoming later, a preview of other earnings and the economic calendar and much more.

Today, we note that dip-buyers won the day yesterday after a further acceleration of the sell-off, but that the entire volatile experience has further revealed the fragility of this market.  We also note reactions to incoming earnings, the pressure on long bonds easing with the important major exception of Japan, the latest in currencies, some must reads if you would like to delve deeper into the Palantir phenomenon and much more.

Yesterday saw Palantir shares leading the decliners on Wall Street as tech and crypto stocks were hammered yesterday even as the average stock didn't perform terribly on the day. With a drawdown of more than 15% after a noted short seller threw shade on the stock's valuation, has Palantir finally seen a major peak? Elsewhere today, we look at the heavy action across the currency space, bonds not yet serving as a safe haven, and what is ailing gold and especially silver at the moment, noting major moves in other softs markets as well.

Today, we look at an unremarkable US equity market session while we continue to watch for signs of trouble after recent divergences and shifts in the internals. A key focus today on very long bond yields rising to cycle highs, especially dangerous for the UK with its external deficits - when does the penny drop for the pound? Meanwhile, the very low volatility across asset markets belies the spring loaded risks from the next policy choices should bonds come under additional pressure. Some great links today on Meta, the US mid-terms, and more. Today's pod hosted by Saxo Global Head of Macro Strategy John J. Hardy.

Link to today's slide deck: https://bit.ly/4fIGOCj    - This week we face an extension of geopolitical tensions as we await the outcome of the bargaining process over the terms of a ceasefire in the Ukraine war after Trump and Putin failed to announce anything concrete. Meanwhile, we look at signs of both uncertainty and wobbliness in animal spirits as crypto nosedives at the start of the week and we consider the technical lay of the land for the US S&P 500 index. Earnings and macro calendar this week, links of the day and much more also on today's pod, which is hosted by Saxo Global Head of Macro Strategy John J. Hardy.

Today we break down another day of wild divergences relative to recent market action, as former dud sectors are suddenly outperforming like crazy, a sudden vibe shift that feels significant, if mysterious. As well, we note the volatility in US treasury markets and FX on Treasury Secretary Bessent's latest dovish comments on where Fed policy should be and on need for the BoJ to hike rates. Also on today's podcast, Apple's slate of new hardware products, upcoming macro and earnings releases, today's links and more. Today's pod hosted by Saxo Global Head of Macro Strategy John J. Hardy.

Today we look at the explosive reaction to the US July CPI release, which failed to confirm fears that Trump tariffs would feed into hotter headline inflation - but was this one-off algorithmic squeeze or something more durable? Also, a delving into the different moving parts of inflation, one major category of which could prove deflationary, a look at the macro and FX reaction to the US CPI data, Circle Internet execs doing a money grab, Coreweave dumped as it struggles with costs and more.

Also: a look at Apple's big comeback above its 200-day moving average and its massive pivot into AI, with all of the risks and opportunities that brings.
