What changed
US-Iran truce is all pause, no progress — Ukraine’s resilience makes a truce Moscow’s best bet; oil falls, crack spread splits, market pricing a messy peace discount.
NVDA whipsaw: anti-ASICs downgrade then denial; Arista seen breaking the grip; Chinese LiDAR with Nvidia ties flagged cyber risk; Cramer pump barely budged shares.
Macro: 10y TIPS real yield 2.26%, credit OAS dead flat — BBB 0.94bp, HY 2.72bp; IMF warns tokenization demands urgent policy shifts; Chicago Fed conditions deep negative.
So what: Teflon credit, rising real yields, one NVDA headline guts Asian tech. Rotation calls getting loud — this week’s all Fed minutes and cracks in the perfection trade.
