Make your bet: further up or turn around? 🤣
There is an old saying in markets: The correction is not over "until all the working girls have been escorted out of the brothel". This means when all the speculative, crowded trades get walloped. These weeks Mr. Market annihilated the gold/silver/copper bugs, it crushed the AI Mo-MO trade (look at BE today after stellar earnings) and it carried out the shorts in the 30Y bonds (from 5.67% to 5.31%-boom!). It is the kind of the period that makes you want to vomit in a bucket and Google, 'how in the heck is the S&P 500 still up 11% YTD?). In my humble view, it all comes down to Credit stress, supply and fundamentals". If credit spreads calm down, we can breathe again. If not, buckle up for more pain. History shows that credit events tend to be short heart attacks, given the risk they pose to sanctity of the global financial system. AI can't do its stuff if there is no money to fund it.
