''Bessent’s running battle with the bond market starts to look like his boss’s war in Iran''
Markets : Nvidia just told Microsoft, Google, and Oracle their AI bills are going up 15%, NVDA earnings on Wednesday, always pretty key for general Ai sentiment (circular economy etc), BABA down 10% in HK, Samsung disappointed, Anthropic IPO details coming out, U.S. has just 41 days of crude oil inventory left, the lowest level in half a century, GOLD has broken back well above 200dma around 4'500$ >>> overall 'debasement' trade came back pretty swiftly, was only a matte of time, Bessent's attempt to control/manipulate bond market can/will backfire, could be the beginning of the big debasement trade 2.0 >> it's the bond market or the USdollar.., can't have your cake and eat it, seems pretty obvious that IF a choice has to be made, and IMHO the market is beginning to do just that... the USDollar will be the fall guy... (Bessent intervening with BoJ might be a sign-push....), Gold bigger than UST in CB reserves by now, main play (but consider also XAG, PLAT, PALL, Copper etc)...and BTC of course
Anthropic seems to have built one of the best models available but its customers don’t appear willing to pay much more to use it - FT
