What changed
Geopolitics: Gaza ceasefire unravels, Iran refuses US envoys—crude supply risk premiums are creeping back onto the table.
Tech/AI: $NVDA digestion warnings ripple, Dan Ives silent after the $2.3T mega-cap wipeout. Burry shorts TSLA too, and robotics buzz hides behind $HOG.
Macro/Rates: Treasury debt balloons $3.1T since the One Big Beautiful Bill, 10-year breakeven inflation hits 2.24%, yet financial conditions stay dangerously loose at -0.516.
Commodities: Oil climbs as Iran stalemate adds a fresh supply-risk bid, right as inflation expectations nudge higher.
So what? Loose money, swelling debt, tech in retreat, and oil on edge—this tape is building a wall of worry. Stay defensive into the jobs print.
