🚨 THE SHELTER STOPPED SHELTERING.
📉 Treasury yields plunged. The bond auction delivered. Yet Big Tech got hammered.

The Nasdaq sank 1.25% as the AI trade cracked:
🔻 Oracle −5.58%
🔻 Micron −4.79%
🔻 Broadcom −4.35%
🔻 Nvidia −2.94%

Meanwhile, the equal-weight S&P GAINED 0.60%.

⚠️ The warning? For weeks, falling yields meant soaring tech stocks. That relationship just broke.
Money isn't fleeing the entire market. It's rotating away from the giants that carried it.
Is this healthy rotation—or the first crack in the AI bubble?

08/10/2026

THE BUYERS SHOWED UP.

The US Treasury just sold $39B of 10-year notes at ~5.3% — the highest auction yield since 2000.
And demand was strong.

That changes the bond-market story.
The long end may not be suffering from a buyers’ strike after all.

Buyers are there. They just want to be paid a lot more.
Meanwhile, the Fed minutes showed most officials still expect another hike before year-end — yet markets price only a ~17% chance for October.

Stocks didn't like the combination:
📉 Dow −341
📉 S&P 500 −0.22%
📉 Nasdaq −0.22%
📉 Russell 2000 −1.31%
📉 More than two-thirds of US stocks fell

The question has changed.
It’s no longer “Who will buy US debt?”
It’s “How high do yields need to stay to keep them buying?”

That answer could determine what happens next across bonds, equities and the dollar.

07/10/2026

🚨 RECORD HIGHS. 24-YEAR YIELDS. A MARKET SPLITTING IN TWO.

The S&P 500 just closed above 7,800 for the first time ever, hitting a record 7,818.93.
Nasdaq? Another record.

But underneath the headline, something very different is happening.

📈 Nasdaq 100: +4.6% over 3 months
📉 Dow: −3.4%
📉 Russell 2000: −5.4%

Meanwhile, the 30-year Treasury yield breached 5.7% — its highest in 24 years.
Investors aren't abandoning equities.

They're concentrating into the companies they believe can survive higher rates — and big tech and semiconductors are absorbing the money.

The chip sector is up nearly 20% from its late-July lows, while small caps continue to bleed.
The index says record bull market.

The breadth says something much more fragile.
👉 The real story isn't that stocks are at record highs. It's how few stocks are carrying them there.

06/10/2026

THE BOND MARKET SAID SELL. TECH BOUGHT ANYWAY.

The 10-year Treasury hit 5.31% — its highest since April 2002.

Normally, that should crush growth stocks.
Instead:
📈 Nasdaq +1.05% → RECORD CLOSE
📈 S&P 500 +0.66%
🚀 Nvidia hit another record, closing in on a $6

TRILLION valuation
And this wasn’t because inflation pressure disappeared.

ISM services prices rose to 74 from 72.6, while employment strengthened.

For the first time in a month, equities simply refused to follow the long end lower.

That matters.

Because if tech can rally with the 10-year above 5.3%, the market may be telling us something has fundamentally changed.

The question now: is this genuine decoupling

THE SUMMER CONTRACTION IS BACK.

September payrolls: +29,000
Expected: ~84,000–90,000

And the revisions were worse:
→ July revised to −10,000 jobs
→ July + August cut by 60,000
→ Unemployment rose to 4.2%
→ Wage growth slowed to 3.0%
The bond market finally got the weak number it had been waiting for.

Yields tumbled. Dollar fell. Gold rose. Brent broke below $100.

Stocks surged:
Nasdaq +1.19%
Russell 2000 +0.94%
S&P 500 +0.74%
Dow +251 points

After months of markets fearing that strong data would force the Fed to keep tightening, bad news became good news again.

Mohamed El-Erian says this report puts the Fed “definitely on hold” for October.

But there’s a bigger question:
Is this simply the slowdown the Fed wanted — or is the US labour market starting to crack?

📊 OIL, 5% YIELDS & AN AI TRADE THAT'S CHANGING

Last week, markets were pulled between two very different forces.

On one side: oil, inflation and interest rates.

On the other: an AI boom becoming increasingly focused on the infrastructure it cannot scale without.

Here’s what happened:

🛢 Iran proposed reopening the Strait of Hormuz within 7 days, briefly sending Brent down 2.14%

📈 The Dow jumped 479 points as oil fell and bond yields paused

🚨 The proposal was rejected, sending oil and Treasury yields higher again

📈 The US 5Y Treasury reached 5% for the first time since 2007

📈 The 10Y later hit 5.33%, a fresh 2026 high

🔥 ISM Manufacturing Prices Paid surged to 77.9, signalling that September's energy shock may be feeding into inflation

🤖 Nvidia's forward P/E fell below the S&P 500's

💾 Micron reported $54.23B in revenue, with Data Center revenue growing 11x year over year

💻 Technology was the only positive S&P 500 sector in September

The macro chain remains clear:
Hormuz → Oil → Inflation → Rates → Stocks

But underneath it, the AI trade is evolving.

The market isn't simply rewarding anything labelled "AI."

Capital is increasingly concentrating around the things AI cannot scale without:

Memory. Compute. Power. Infrastructure.

That leaves markets in an unusual position.

Treasury yields are above 5%. Inflation pressure is resurfacing. Geopolitical headlines can move oil within minutes.

Yet parts of the AI infrastructure trade continue delivering extraordinary growth.

This week, watch Hormuz negotiations, oil, Treasury yields, inflation data and whether AI infrastructure can continue outperforming the broader market.

Stay informed. Stay prepared. Trade with confidence.

One Number Just Undid August’s Inflation Relief

ISM manufacturing prices paid surged to 77.9 from 71.1 — the first major survey to fully capture September’s energy spike.
That matters.

August core PCE had given markets hope inflation was cooling. September’s ISM data just delivered the opposite signal.
The bond market noticed.

📈 10Y Treasury hit 5.33% — a fresh 2026 high
📈 Up 115bps since the start of the year
📈 10Y & 30Y yields again reached 20+ year highs

Stocks initially cracked. The Dow fell 200+ points before Treasury yields reversed lower mid-afternoon.
Then came a remarkable turnaround:
S&P 500: +0.20%
Nasdaq: +0.04%
Dow: +21 points
Russell 2000: +0.35%

The S&P recovered 60+ points from its intraday low.
But don’t mistake the rebound for the story.
The real signal was 77.9.

September’s inflation pressure is beginning to show up in the data — and with the 10-year already above 5%, the implications for the Fed, bonds and equities are significant.
