Donโt Fight the Fed. Donโt Fight the Tape.
The Federal Reserve appears increasingly likely to be on a tightening course, with potentially one or two rate hikes ahead. The probability of a hike at the next meeting is currently around 55%, and much of that risk may already be discounted in the market. Still, the larger point shouldnโt be overlooked: the Fed is leaning toward tightening, not easing.
There are two old market rules I still respect deeply: Donโt fight the Fed, and donโt fight the tape.
Right now, those two signals are somewhat at odds. The Fed is becoming a potential headwind, while the tape remains relatively bullish. The major indexes are holding up well, and certain areas of the market continue to advance. But beneath the surface, participation is clearly thinning and the market is becoming increasingly fragmented.
That distinction matters.
Some of the leadership we had been looking to in the AI spaceโparticularly companies tied to the data-center buildoutโis beginning to encounter resistance. At the same time, a negative political narrative around data centers has been developing.
Meanwhile, money continues to gravitate toward the largest, most established companies. $FNGS is rallying as investors seek the relative safety of mega-cap companies with proven earnings power. That can keep the indexes looking healthy even while conditions underneath become considerably more challenging.
A narrowing market is not necessarily an immediately bearish market, but it is a more difficult market to trade. When participation contracts, fewer stocks respond favorably, breakouts become less dependable, and stock selection becomes increasingly important because the market is simply not lifting all boats. Add to that the seasonal backdrop. September has historically been the weakest month of the year.
For now, the tape still gets the benefit of the doubt. But this is not an environment for complacency. I continue to hold select longs, most of which are profitable trades that I've owned but are still respecting stops.
As far as a catalysts, I'm keeping a keen eye on the 10-year yield, which is at a very important level. Should the 10-year breakout to the upside (especially above 5%), that would likely put the market in a challenging position going into September.
Why do I think the 10-year yield at an important level and a breakout to the upside would be bearish?
Because right now most expect the Fed to tighten 25 basis points one or two times. However, it's not of the common opinion that the Fed is behind the curve. If interest rates keep rising, that will be an indication that the Fed is falling behind the curve and they may have to tighten more aggressively. So the 10-year right could be a key catalyst, in my opinion.

Published in Nature Electronics, a new paper from @SKhynix and University of Virginia researchers explores how CPO can overcome the โbandwidth wallโ through optical connectivity.

My $AAOI TLDR notes at Rosenblatt summit:
- Expected to get paid premiums for US production of 800g/1.6T (very positive for ASP/margins).
- Several LTAs on the table, but doesn't want to sign to get capacity blocked by other customers (cough cough $NVDA).
- Sold out at least through second half of next year and beyond. (High demand visibility like $LITE)
- Has 300-400 mW lasers already.
- Expects margins to be above 40%+ once CPO comes about (probably most material for rerating).
I can't see how anyone can be bearish on this company...
Itโs a bit late, but itโs worth taking a look at:

$COHR's results touched the top of the guide and EPS went past it. The next day, the stock gave back the entire prior-day rally with an 8% drop.
That gap sent me through the call transcript from start to finish, and what made me pause was the company nailing down the bottleneck. Not assembly, not test, which is what I have long considered the bottleneck, but InP production.
