8/10 The turn could come from AI financing or private credit: rising funding costs slow spending, a weak link fails, equities fall, and expected hikes give way to cuts. A geopolitical resolution could also ease pressure. Until one of those catalysts arrives, DCP is watching 103 in bond futures and the March equity lows, while staying ready to change his view.

6/10 The index is hiding a K-shaped market. AI leaders are carrying both equity performance and a growing share of investment spending while many consumer-facing stocks have sunk to multi-year lows. On the AI side, DCP would rather look for a vulnerable AI name to short than press shorts in already beaten-down laggards.

7/10 The other side of his rates trade is conditional. If something breaks and the Fed’s path changes, DCP wants to buy beaten-down 2027–28 SOFR futures to fade the hikes priced into them. He mentioned around 94.80 as a level of interest. He does not want that long position yet.

4/10 Higher yields eventually become an entry point. DCP would find roughly 5.5% on the 10-year, 6% on the 30-year, or 3% real yields on TIPS compelling for long-term buyers. His question is whether bonds reach those levels before refinancing costs do serious damage elsewhere in the economy.

5/10 Watch the borrowers that can't wait out higher rates. DCP expects pressure to appear in small-business bankruptcies, commercial real estate, regional lending and private credit. Large cash-rich companies can absorb expensive financing; smaller borrowers face it directly. Credit stress may tell us more than the unemployment rate.

3/10 Diesel is the inflation risk that keeps traveling higher. It raises costs for farms, freight, food service and anything delivered by road, with more of the impact still to reach consumers. Higher rates can restrain demand, but they can't repair an energy supply shock. That leaves the Fed with a difficult tradeoff.

1/10 Higher yields are still the pain trade.

2/10 DCP’s base case is a bear steepening: long Treasury yields keep rising even as the market prices more Fed hikes. He wants a material change before getting long bonds, meaning cooler energy, slower AI spending, real equity weakness, or a geopolitical deal. A Treasury buyback alone does not change his view.

In '98, the Fed hiked into the dot-com top. @Dcpcooks says they could be making a similar policy mistake today. Four hikes into a slowing AI boom and energy supply shock could be more than enough.

Bessent doesn't have enough firepower to overpower the bond market. "You're gonna buy $10 billion, but you're gonna do a half a trillion in issuance?"

Long UK equities, short Europe. @VincentDeluard's trade thesis: – UK pension fund allocations to domestic equities collapsed from 50% to 5% – UK stocks are cheap and massively underowned – The index is concentrated in energy, healthcare and financials – Britain has its own currency and central bank – The UK is further along in its political and economic reset "Nobody wants to touch it, which I view as a very positive sign."

One of @VincentDeluard's highest conviction trades: Long JPY, short EUR – Europe's has an aging population – Social spending continues to rise – Its industrial model is deteriorating – Productivity growth won't close the gap – Currency debasement is the escape valve Japan already ran this playbook and the yen fell by more than 50% nominally, allowing tax collections to eventually outgrow social spending Vincent says Japan has completed its reset but Europe’s is still ahead

7/8 In short, own the countries that have already undergone their currency and fiscal reset over those still delaying it. 🔸 Short EUR/JPY 🔸 Add USD and BRL against EUR 🔸 Consider CAD as a resource-backed extension 🔸 Own gold priced in euros 🔸 Long UK equities versus continental Europe 🔸 Watch Norway as another resource-rich European hedge
