Today, we look at the US market blasting to a new all time high, apparently to celebrate the dovish implications for the Fed from the government shutdown, but especially from some very weak ADP payrolls data released yesterday, which pushed US treasury yields lower. We talk geopolitics and the crude oil outlook and whether anything can stop the run higher in gold and silver with Saxo Head of Commodity Strategy Ole Hansen. Also, we note one asset class that is flashing red under the radar amidst all of the speculative frenzy. Today's pod 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 (within one to three hours from the time of the podcast release).

Today we consider the risks of a US government shut down and why it is likely to happen even if it doesn't extend for long, what kind of damage it can inflict on the economy and more. Also, we note the sudden surge in the JPY as the wily currency is back on the rally path after nearly getting drop kicked above 150.00 in USDJPY just two trading days ago. Earnings, geopolitics, some great links to other content and more also covered on today's pod, which was hosted by Saxo Global Head of Macro Strategy John J. Hardy.

Today we look at markets in a fine mood since the Friday close as treasury yields failed to punch into destabilizing territory and crypto arrested its decline and bounced back after testing below key levels as well. The next focus this week is on the risk of a US government shutdown starting this Wednesday, together with the key first week of the month economic data. This and much more on today's pod, which is hosted by Saxo Global Head of Macro Strategy John J. Hardy.

Today we make a structural, if patient call on the direction of crude oil from here, while also looking at the situation for European natural gas heading into the winter. Also, while stocks staged a decent comeback from the lows yesterday, we note some potential headwinds that could keep volatility high, with or without a US government shutdown next Wednesday. A preview of upcoming earnings and macro event risks and much more also on today's pod, which features Saxo Head of Commodity Strategy Ole Hansen and Saxo Global Head of Macro Strategy John J. Hardy.

Today, a look at another weak session for US equities, with few stand-out themes amidst the broad weakness. The concern going into next Tuesday's September 30 government shutdown continues to build and could be a determining factor in whether we remain in consolidation-ville or tip over into correction-ville. Another factor could be USDJPY and the fallout if it breaks higher. Some key developments in copper on an Indonesian copper mine disaster, a compelling biotech stock story, other single stock developments and more also on today's pod, which is hosted by Saxo Global Head of Macro Strategy John J. Hardy.

Today a look at the US equity market finally suffering a down day, perhaps in part as government shutdown risks are growing ahead of the September 30 deadline. We note increasing signs of a harder US attitude against Russia from the Trump administration, break down the latest disappointing news from Germany's economic data, what's going on in macro and FX and how one US lithium company saw as much as a 75% surge after hours after the Trump administration expressed interest in taking partial ownership. This and much more in today's pod, which is hosted by Saxo Global Head of Macro Strategy John J. Hardy.

Today we discuss a mixed session in the US, even with Apple and key AI stocks dragging the overall market indices higher. We also look at the latest boost to AI stocks as Nvidia decides to "vendor finance" OpenAI data centers to the tune of USD 100 billion as we discuss the performance of an AI basket of 24 stocks. We also discuss precious metals shooting the lights out while crude oil drags along with Saxo's Head of Commodities Strategy Ole Hansen and much more.

Today, we look at the still narrow US equity market managing to post new all-time highs, while the broader market is mixed. Some signs of froth are forming in this market as some of the most speculative stocks, including quantum computing names and one we profile that is really not much more than a bunch of promises at this point, are ramping exponentially on the latest news flow, even when earnings are years away. We also look at the follow-on reaction to the FOMC and Bank of Japan meetings, what to watch this week and more. Today's pod hosted by Saxo Global Head of Macro Strategy John J. Hardy.
