Stock markets melted down amid US-China trade war escalation, then seesawed sharply higher. Is the selloff already over or just starting? tastylive's Head of Global Macro Ilya Spivak breaks down two days of violent price action across global markets and considers what is likely to shape what comes next in the week ahead.
OpenAI continues its strategic expansion through a new partnership with Broadcom (AVGO) to design custom chips, marking another major alliance for the $500 billion company that's influencing tech giants.
Bloom Energy (BE) announced a $5 billion partnership with Brookfield Asset Management for AI infrastructure using their fuel cells, representing nearly 20% of their market cap.
IonQ reported significant advancements in quantum chemistry simulations, contradicting earlier claims that quantum computing applications were years away. The news boosted related stocks including QBTS and QUBT.
Rare earth metal stocks are surging after China announced export restrictions, with companies like MP Materials, LAC, USAR, and TMQ seeing substantial gains as investors target critical materials essential for technology manufacturing.
AI-related investments continue accelerating, with JP Morgan pledging $10 billion toward companies deemed essential to national security.
In a data-rich market measure, analysis shows 2025 correlations between major assets are significantly higher than historic lows across the board. SPY and QQQ have reached "maxed out" correlation levels, suggesting unified market movement despite Friday's volatility.
Gold has returned to its classic hedge profile with near-zero or negative correlation to equities, while small caps closely track major indices, indicating broader risk-on participation. Tech sector cohesion remains strong but less extreme than during pandemic peaks in 2020-2022.
The research suggests traders should be mindful of correlations when constructing portfolios, potentially reducing position sizing during periods of unusually high correlation. Metals continue showing strength with silver up nearly 6%, while tech darlings like NVIDIA, Microsoft, and AI-related stocks post significant gains.
Hosts Liz and Tony welcomed researcher Kai to dissect Friday's dramatic sell-off that erased the entire week's gains, with breaking news of OpenAI-Broadcom deal sending AVGO up $40 to $360. Liz admitted eating her words after declaring markets "complacent" at 9:59am just before the crash, noting there was "no buying pressure at all" after 10am. The Friday move sent expected moves surging from 1.1% to 2.5% for the current week (166 points), with IVR jumping across all asset classes - especially gold and Bitcoin which showed double the S&P's volatility expansion. Kai explained crypto's notoriously higher volatility (7% Bitcoin move wasn't even top 10 percentile historically) while noting the 18% intraday plunge wiped out heavily leveraged accounts. Liz finally celebrated her gold bullishness after 22 years of ridicule as the metal broke $4,000, while the upcoming week features major bank earnings starting Tuesday morning (JPM, GS, C, WF) and TSM Wednesday, with expiration week historically showing 16-up/11-down pattern favoring bulls into Friday.
In today's episode of *Engineering the Trade*, host Jermal Chandler and guest Gus Downing discussed their market positions amid a market pullback, emphasizing long Delta exposure and their strategies for managing risk. Both noted that instead of hedging, reducing long positions can be more effective. They highlighted the psychological benefits of having some green trades amid losses. The conversation also touched on VIX trends and potential market movements as they anticipate a bounce back, with a focus on confirming a market bottom before further positioning.
