Today, we look at a remarkable US equity market session yesterday, which saw some underperforming sectors and themes performing extremely well while the broader market was very quiet. The sudden "calm" in markets here is reflected in the VIX dropping to its lowest level since before the pandemic breakout. We also look at the massive US treasury issuance set for the balance of this month and whether this will pinch liquidity and sentiment. We remark on 2-year EU yields and whether these are realistic, given further expected ECB hikes. In FX, focus on Bank of Canada today and whether it will prove the second central bank after the RBA to restart its tightening regime. This and more in today's pod, which features Peter Garnry on equities, Althea Spinozzi on fixed income and John J. Hardy hosting and on FX.

Today, we note that the US equity market rally looks remarkably extended after a more than 30% advance in the Nasdaq 100 year-to-date. We also offers some thoughts on, and look at the interesting market reaction to Apple's announcement of its Vision Pro "mixed reality" headset. In commodities, the focus is on the crude oil market after the weekend OPEC+ meeting and new cuts announced there, while we note the forward risks for grains on weather concerns and deteriorating crop condition for corn in the US. In FX, the RBA announced the second consecutive surprise hike and AUDUSD is trading at critical resistance. This and more in today's pod, which features Peter Garnry on equities, Ole S. Hansen on commodities and John J. Hardy hosting and on FX.

Today we discuss the market action yesterday possibly suggesting a "buy the fact" moment for risk appetite on the debt ceiling lifting after the US Senate signed on to the deal yesterday. This, after many, ourselves included, have fretted the impact of the coming blitz of Treasury issuance on liquidity. We also quantify what is coming, in terms of the pace of Treasury bill issuance and discuss the confusion around the speculative positioning in treasury markets - is the pain trade for higher or lower yields? Elsewhere, have ECB expectations come off too aggressively, what are we watching for in crude ahead of the OPEC+s meeting this weekend, some stocks to watch, including Tesla, and much more, including several answers to SMC listeners' questions in our most recent survey. Today's pod features Althea Spinozzi on fixed income, Ole Hansen on commodities and John J. Hardy hosting and on FX.

Today, we discuss the steep consolidation in AI-related names after the recent huge surge, also noting the S&P 500 in complete limbo technically, possibly on volatility sellers continuing to bottle up the action. We also look at the winding down of debt ceiling concerns, which ironically could lead to liquidity pressures across markets as the US Treasury will need to rebuild its reserves. A look at crude oil ahead of the OPEC+ meeting, copper, grains, incoming earnings and sharp market reactions for Crowdstrike and Salesforce, important incoming macro data and more on today's pod, which features Peter Garnry on equities, Ole Hansen on commodities, with John J. Hardy hosting and on FX.

Today, we note the extreme divergence in equity market themes over the last week that is a hidden development underneath the strong performance of the major US indices on Friday. We look at the moderate impact thus far of the debt ceiling agreement-in-principle reached at the weekend, discuss the strong earnings season and few interesting names set to report this week. Energy and the European natural gas market are in focus in commodities while we also try to gauge where we are in terms of timing an eventual recession with US yield-curve and consumer confidence survey indicators. This and more in today's, which features Peter Garnry on equities, Ole Hansen on commodities, with John J. Hardy hosting and on FX.
