On Veterans' Day, remembering those we know and knew that served, we note that the market comeback is nearly complete with only the last shreds of resistance remaining ahead of the recent top, look at some results from Coreweave, Softbank and Rocket Labs, the coming end of the government shutdown, macro data from UK hitting sterling, how AI data center infrastructure ages, some interesting links for the day and more.

Most significant market correction since April - is it over?

Today, a look at markets bouncing back with considerable enthusiasm as the US government shutdown may be set to end in coming days, though it's worth noting we are only seven days removed from record highs as the market completely ignored the shutdown issue in the first place. Also, talking precious metals and natural gas with Saxo Head of Commodity Strategy Ole Hansen, macro and FX, whether US President Trump is turning hard left, incoming earnings and lots of must read and must listen links. Today's pod hosted by Saxo Global Head of Macro Strategy John J. Hardy.

We are at a tipping point - which way do we tip?

Another ugly day on the US markets as the AI bubble focus heats up and key names are bleeding, from Nvidia and Palantir to Meta and Oracle. With VIX near pivotal levels, it feels like we need to find support here or risk a further and possibly accelerating consolidation in this bull market. That's important for other markets as well, as bond and FX markets have shrugged off the volatility in risk assets so far but can't remain immune to the contagion if risk sentiment deteriorates further. This and more discussed on today's pod, which features Saxo Global Head of Macro Strategy John J. Hardy.

A critical constraint for AI infrastructure spending: it's not about the chips.

Today, a look at the market's attempt to recover from the recent sell-off, noting at least one key name that is not participating in the comeback and noting sectors that are sending off diverging signals. Also on today's pod: key companies reporting and results incoming, macro and FX, some must reads and listens on what could hold AI back even if the hope to spend even more on data centres and more. Today's pod is hosted by Saxo Global Head of Macro Strategy John J. Hardy.

Corrections without obvious drivers to be taken more seriously?

Today - a rundown of yesterday's significant, if rather mega-cap and AI-concentrated market correction and its possible drivers, including the idea that the drivers weren't so obvious, and possibly therefore a bit more ominous. Still, it is worth noting the lack of contagion into other assets so far as we ponder next steps across markets, including in rates and FX. This and more on today's pod, which is hosted by Saxo Global Head of Macro Strategy John J. Hardy.

The boy who cried "Hindenburg Omen!"

Today we break down the weak US equity market session, which was partially reversed after hours by a blowout Amazon earnings report. We also note that the ominous "Hindenburg Omen" has now been triggered, although it's relevance in market history is patchy. Also, a full rundown with Saxo Equity Strategist Ruben Dalfovo of the major companies that reported this week from Meta and Amazon to Apple and others as well as a ahead at next week's earnings highlights. Macro and FX, a bit on geopolitics and more also on today's pod, which is hosted by Saxo Global Head of Macro Strategy John J. Hardy.

US & China check the key "trade war detente" boxes. Meanwhile, market narrowness a concern.

Today, we look at the US and China clearly wanting to de-escalate trade tensions as both sides made concessions, with a one-year time horizon for some of the most important ones. Otherwise, we cover the extreme narrowness of the market's recent advance as most stocks have had a lousy couple of days on Tuesday and Wednesday. Thoughts on Fed Chair Powell's hawkish press conference and an unbelievably dovish Bank of Japan governor Kuroda press conference, many single stock stories, must reads and listens and more are also on today's pod, which is hosted by Saxo Global Head of Macro Strategy John J. Hardy.
