Saxo Market Call

Pssst...Europe has AI stocks, too.

Today we profile European companies with exposure to AI with Saxo Equity Strategist Ruben Dalfovo, as we continue to wonder what AI names may be in a bubble. Elsewhere, we note ongoing divergences in this market, largely brush off the impact of yesterday's US economic data as we focus on a possibly pivotal week ahead, given the FOMC is set to meet Wednesday and the Bank of Japan on Friday. This and much more on today's pod, which is hosted by Saxo Global Head of Macro Strategy John J. Hardy.

Link to Ruben's article on European companies with strong AI exposure.

Links discussed on the podcast and our Chart of the Day can be found on the John J. Hardy substack (with a one- to two-hour delay from the time of the podcast release).

Putting together an AI Bubble Basket - who should be in or out?

The market is taking Oracle at its word in its longer term guidance on cloud infrastructure growth. We wonder instead whether an AI bubble is incipient here and if so, which dozen or so stocks should be in the "AI Bubble Basket" we are considering identifying as a talking point from here. The set of names we are considering will be listed on the John J. Hardy substack (see link below - please let us know your thoughts there!). Otherwise on today's pod, a discussion of other key single stock news and Adobe earnings incoming tonight, the key macro data incoming, gold correction risks, the US political storm set to intensify on the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk and much more. Today's pod hosted by Saxo Global Head of Macro Strategy John J. Hardy.

Oracle rewarded for betting its capex farm on AI

Today we feature Saxo equity strategist Ruben Dalfovo helping break down what is driving the moon-shot in Oracle shares after the company blew the doors off of expectations with forward cloud infrastructure bookings in its earnings call after the close yesterday. We also look at the Klarna IPO forthcoming today, Novo Nordisk shares rallying on the company's cost reductions, the latest in geopolitics, macro and currencies and much more. Hosting today's pod is Saxo Global Head of Macro Strategy John J. Hardy.

Which AI story might crack this market's confidence?

Today we look at the lackluster session in the US yesterday as we remain nominally bearish with no readily identifiable catalyst in sight. And clear that the catalyst would need to be AI related to puncture this market's confidence. The next best candidate would be Oracle's earnings today after the close, though we have no visibility on what they will report. Also today, a discuss of the weak US dollar that would normally be weaker still given the backdrop, whether the US risks a government shutdown and much much more.

Bigger Fed cut weighed. Oracle the next company to set the tone in AI.

Today, we look at the fallout from the US jobs report, as bonds rallied and the US dollar sold off, while equities churned in place, with many AI names under pressure. Today's topics also include the latest surge in gold, its drivers and where it may be headed, the turbulence in many AI names, driven in part by OpenAI's new initiatives making waves, previewing Oracle's earnings report tomorrow after the close, the macro and FX fallout from the US jobs data and political uncertainty in Japan and France and more. Today's pod features Saxo Head of Commodity Strategy Ole Hansen and Saxo Equity Strategist Ruben Dalfovo, with Saxo Global Head of Macro Strategy John J. Hardy hosting.

Market complacent ahead of US jobs data. Is the US set to revalue its gold holdings?

Today - a look at the market remaining in complacency mode, boosted by a drop in yields and later by Broadcom's apparent coming collaboration with OpenAI on new chips. Also, new geopolitical developments, speculating on coming Trump announcement later today (including on a possible revaluation of US gold reserves), earnings coming up next week, the US jobs data today, a general sense of foreboding that something big is about to happen to this market, and much more.

Broadcom a key test for AI space, but big bad geopolitics still loom.

Today we run through equity markets trying to reset after the jump and retreat in global yields, possibly linked to the Trump tariff ruling as we await the Supreme Court ruling on tariffs as the next step. Elsewhere, Saxo Equity Strategist Ruben Dalfovo looks at the latest earnings reports yesterday, especially Figma and Salesforce, which both traded lower after their reports. He also previews what we should look for from Broadcom reporting after the close today and profiles precious metals mining companies (see link to article below). This and more, including some dark thoughts on history taking a dramatic step forward this week after China's Xi teamed up with Putin and Kim Jong Un at the Beijing parade. Today's pod hosted by Saxo Global Head of Macro Strategy John J. Hardy.

The 800 pound long bond gorilla remains in the room

Today, an attempt to root out the sources of yesterday's ugly bout of risk off, with sovereign debt markets quite possibly driving much of the unease as several countries saw new cycle highs in 30-year yields. We also break down the reaction, if inconsistent, across currencies to new stresses in bond markets as we await key US labor market data while the market doesn't know what data to trust. This and more on today's pod, which is hosted by Saxo Global Head of Macro Strategy John J. Hardy.
