Do they know that higher bond returns mean a worse economy?

Shocking stat of the day:

The top 10 US stocks now have a combined market cap of $24.5 TRILLION.

This is 5 TIMES more than the total value of stocks in Europe’s broad Euro Stoxx 50 index.

The top 10 are also 5 and 6 times larger than the size of Germany’s and Japan’s economies, respectively.

Furthermore, the top 5 stocks’ market cap is larger than the economies of Germany, Japan, India, and the UK COMBINED.

Large cap US stocks are dominating.

@KobeissiLetter For context: the bottom 67% of population in the US owns 15% of the total wealth yet contributes 47% of total consumption expenditure.

Guess what happens to unsecured credit demand when paychecks get delayed by one month for this section.

BREAKING: Nvidia, $NVDA, now represents 5.04% of the MSCI All Country World Index.

The MSCI ACWI Index captures ~85% of global equity markets, including large and mid-cap stocks.

Nvidia's weight now significantly surpasses Japan's 4.78% share, the world’s 3rd-largest stock market.

By comparison, China, the UK, and Canada account for 3.33%, 3.23%, and 2.92%, respectively.

Nvidia’s contribution to the index is now larger than France and Germany combined.

Nvidia is dominating the global equity market.

We’ve officially entered buyback blackout season.

Roughly one-third of S&P 500 companies are already restricted from repurchasing shares as of today. That figure will climb rapidly, peaking near 80–85% by mid-October.

This matters because buybacks are one of the biggest sources of demand for equities. When the blackout window closes, that bid disappears, right as markets face earnings season, macro risks, and heightened volatility.

In other words, the largest buyer of stocks is about to step aside when liquidity is needed most.

The latest balance of payments data only runs though q1 -- but the difference between the oil price and Saudi's breakeven implies a much larger deficit in q2 than in the past few quarters

It’s a hefty 206-page research paper, and the findings are concerning.

"LLM users consistently underperformed at neural, linguistic, and behavioral levels"

This study finds LLM dependence weakens the writer’s own neural and linguistic fingerprints. 🤔🤔

Relying only on EEG, text mining, and a cross-over session, the authors show that keeping some AI-free practice time protects memory circuits and encourages richer language even when a tool is later reintroduced.

Current situation:

1. The S&P 500 is falling like a global trade war has begun

2. Oil prices are falling like we are heading into a recession

3. Gold prices are rising like inflation is on the rise

4. Bond prices are rising like inflation is declining

5. Crypto is falling like risk appetite has collapsed

6. Tech stocks are falling like DeepSeek is back

Are you ready for the most volatile market in history?
