Messy Days

First came the “AI is over” trade on Wednesday which of course was followed by a sharp de-risking short squeeze on Thursday, and then chaos ensued on Friday.

Clear and present HAWKISHNESS

FOMC Sep. minutes provided little relief for bond bulls desperately seeking catalysts to stem the rise in yields.

It is not easy out there

If one were to simply watch the price action in the S&P 500 index, the conclusion would be equities are resilient, as the index only drew down by an eye watering 1.5% intra-month in September, before bouncing back to finish around flat.
