@zerohedge With the Nasdaq already down about 0.7% today while the S and P sits flat at 7,805, you can see how much the market leans on that same AI trade.
The S and P is flat at 7,805 but the Nasdaq is down about 0.7%.
Bitcoin is around $82,500.
Tech is lagging, and Bitcoin has had a hard week too.
The 10 year is at 5.25%.
Bitcoin has been moving with tech stocks rather than gold this week.

@FirstSquawk Rising bond yields are a fair worry for that debt path when even the US 10 year is sitting at 5.23% and dragging global borrowing costs higher.
The FTSE is up about 0.7% this lunchtime and Brent has cooled to $102.80.
Bitcoin is still stuck near $82,500.
That's down from about $85,500 on Tuesday, even as gold climbed to $4,200.
Stocks are recovering and gold has gone up, but Bitcoin is still falling.

@Barchart That caution lines up with the S and P closing down about 0.7% at 7,765, as even the people closest to these companies seem happy to wait for better prices.
@Barchart Funny timing, because the bond market eased this morning with the 10 year slipping to 5.23% from 5.28%, so traders are not pricing that risk as hard as the Fed is.
Gold is up about 1.5% to $4,219 this morning.
Bitcoin hasn't moved, still around $82,400.
The 10 year eased to 5.23% and the dollar index slipped to 102.
Easing yields and a softer dollar are helping gold, but Bitcoin isn't getting a lift from them yet.

@zerohedge Crews running dark through Hormuz is the kind of risk that has Brent up about 5% at $105 today, and it feeds straight into freight and insurance costs.
Brent has jumped to $105, up about 5% today.
The FTSE is down about 1.2%. Bitcoin has slipped to $82,500.
Gold has barely moved at $4,144.
An oil shock is pushing traders out of risk, and Bitcoin is being sold along with stocks, not bought like gold.

@FirstSquawk Ruling out reflation while the Nikkei slips about 1% this morning suggests Tokyo is happy to let the BOJ carry the policy load on its own.
@FirstSquawk With Brent near $102.80 after a 2% jump overnight, that pass through from Middle East costs looks set to keep pressure on Japanese prices.
Brent is up over 2% overnight at $102.80.
Bitcoin keeps drifting, now $82,800. Tokyo fell about 1%.
The pound is softer at $1.32.
Dearer oil and a weaker pound make fuel more expensive for the UK in sterling. That makes rate cuts harder to argue for.

@DeItaone Coming in under the 5.317% when issued shows real demand, though with gold near $4,135 and Brent around $101 inflation worries are not going away.
