The market is trying to get back on the rally train on a strong Nvidia earnings report, although returning to trend will require some heavy lifting into options expiry this Friday - a failure here would be ugly. We discuss Nvidia earnings and what we're looking for from the company in coming quarters with Saxo Equity Strategist Ruben Dalfovo. Elsewhere, we note the fresh profound JPY weakness ahead of the fiscal package announcement tomorrow in Japan as the market breaks out the EM playbook for the currency. This and much more on today's pod, which is hosted by Saxo Global Head of Macro Strategy John J. Hardy. Links discussed on the podcast and our Chart of the Day can be found on the John J.

Today, a look at the confluence of pivotal market technicals and the big event risk of the earnings calendar tonight after the close: Nvidia. How will the market treat this?

Today, we note that the market's stabilization attempt from Friday seems to have failed as risk-off has gone global in equities, perhaps led by the meltdown in Bitcoin. Amidst the deepening unease, it's remarkable that bond markets, with the notable exception of Japan, remain calm, while transmission into FX is minimal. But the tension is building, with a key event risk on Friday for Japan possibly set to unleash volatility.

Today, a look at the further meltdown in risk sentiment that was corralled on Friday before any bigger breakdown, which has now given us a technical line in the sand ahead of the critical Nvidia earnings report this Wednesday after the close.

Today, we cover the very ugly day for US equity markets, with the selling quite broad, but most concentrated in AI-related and crypto-related names as the latter is in a real funk and suggests poor liquidity. With Saxo Equity Strategist Ruben Dalfovo, we pick out several names to discuss including Oracle and Disney. Also, we look to next Wednesday's Nvidia earnings report as the next critical event risk for this market, noting other big retail names reporting in the US as well, including Walmart.

Today we look at another fascinating session full of divergences, particularly the clearly emerging pattern of AI "picks and shovels" sellers (hardware makers, particularly in chips) performing well versus the biggest spenders on "miners" or those investing in AI data center capacity. Meanwhile, will there be any power to drive further growth? A rundown of the massive comeback in gold, energy and more with with Saxo Head of Commodity Strategy Ole Hansen, notably connecting Trump's turn left and fresh talk of "stimmies" or stimulus checks and the implications.

By now you should have some how realized the things you oughta do... Okay enough of that...(Hint - goofing around with alternative lyrics to the Oasis song Wonderwall). Today's theme and the links (see below) are clearly the K-shaped economy and what that means for the long run.

Today, a look at markets bouncing back with considerable enthusiasm as the US government shutdown may be set to end in coming days, though it's worth noting we are only seven days removed from record highs as the market completely ignored the shutdown issue in the first place.

Another ugly day on the US markets as the AI bubble focus heats up and key names are bleeding, from Nvidia and Palantir to Meta and Oracle. With VIX near pivotal levels, it feels like we need to find support here or risk a further and possibly accelerating consolidation in this bull market. That's important for other markets as well, as bond and FX markets have shrugged off the volatility in risk assets so far but can't remain immune to the contagion if risk sentiment deteriorates further.

Today - a rundown of yesterday's significant, if rather mega-cap and AI-concentrated market correction and its possible drivers, including the idea that the drivers weren't so obvious, and possibly therefore a bit more ominous.

We also note that the ominous "Hindenburg Omen" has now been triggered, although it's relevance in market history is patchy. Also, a full rundown with Saxo Equity Strategist Ruben Dalfovo of the major companies that reported this week from Meta and Amazon to Apple and others as well as a ahead at next week's earnings highlights.

Today, we look at the US and China clearly wanting to de-escalate trade tensions as both sides made concessions, with a one-year time horizon for some of the most important ones. Otherwise, we cover the extreme narrowness of the market's recent advance as most stocks have had a lousy couple of days on Tuesday and Wednesday.

Equity markets hit fresh highs on hopes for a friendlier terms-of-trade stance between the US and China to be agreed ahead of a Trump-Xi meeting meant to take place in South Korea tomorrow. We note the important details that need to emerge to justify the market's enthusiasm in what could prove a critical 24-hour window for global markets, with the FOMC on tap later today and an important BoJ meeting tomorrow as well. Plenty of single company stories to pick through as earnings roll in and macro developments are heating up several currencies as well.

Today, a look at the strong risk appetite rally encouraged by hopes for a respite or detente in the US-China trade war. Also, a look at some wild moves on AI-chip related moves, Amazon's big job cuts, earnings ahead, and especially, on whether the end of the precious metals meltdown could free up some focus on currencies more broadly after their recent lack of volatility, with particular focus on the JPY.

The US and China appear to be headed toward a trade deal, or at least an agreement to come to arms-length terms to de-escalate on a number of fronts for now. This is boosting already bubbly risk sentiment further as we enter the heart of earnings season, where five of the Mag7 are reporting later this week. All the AI-related spending will be a key point of scrutiny. Also, an update on macro and FX with four central banks meeting this week, some links and podcasts listens and more.

Today, we look at a market that remains hopeful the US and China are maneuvering towards a comprehensive deal, which could clear the decks of significant geopolitical uncertainty for quite some time if Xi and Trump are headed toward a friendly meeting in person next week after trade talks through Monday. With Saxo Investment Strategist Ruben Dalfovo, we also run through the key earnings reports this week and what we're looking for in next week's mother lode of reports.

Today we look at a rocky session for equities as geopolitical headlines spooked the market, which is trying to figure out whether the latest US threats are just chest thumping ahead of the key talks between the US and China kicking off tomorrow or a sign that trade tensions will escalate further. Also, plenty of single company news on earnings from Tesla, IBM and others, more fun and games for quantum computing stocks, key incoming data from Japan and the US that could spike FX volatility and more.
