The Fed doesn’t need to prove its independence by hiking. It needs to prove it by being consistent.

My comments to @anuron_mitra at https://t.co/IKbowCXNq7 today as markets digest hotter inflation, rising rate-hike expectations and $100+ oil:

➡️ Fed credibility > 25 basis points.

➡️ Geopolitics matters most when it becomes an inflation problem.

➡️ Watch barrels and shipping traffic—not just diplomatic headlines.

The next big market question isn’t simply whether the Fed hikes.

It’s whether inflation, rates and oil start reinforcing one another.

Private credit redemptions are still elevated. Investors who redeemed Cliffwater's Corporate Lending Fund received 31% of their redemption request in the latest redemption window.

The AI trade isn’t over—it’s evolving.

I joined CNBC's @contessabrewer today to discuss why we believe the next phase of AI will increasingly be about custom silicon, networking and efficiency, not just raw computing power.

Nvidia remains a dominant force, but as hyperscalers build chips optimized for their own workloads, the opportunity set is broadening. Broadcom is our top pick for this next evolution of AI infrastructure.

The question for investors is shifting from “Who makes the most powerful AI chip?” to “Who helps build the most efficient AI architecture?”

The tech sector might still be undervalued.

Big difference from the Dot-com bubble: back then, deals were 100% stock. Today? We're seeing major acquisitions closing in 100% cash. 💰

When the "smart money" spends liquidity instead of equity, pay attention. https://t.co/vfoUQnvgx4 via @YouTube $spy $qqq

Good article by @LKrauskopf where I was quoted that market complacency is high and investors should expect more choppiness ahead. https://t.co/ee6nUdjP16

With Bitcoin at all time highs, what's the correlation been for $IBIT versus $SPY, $AGG, and $GLD since the ETF's launch? Positive correlation with stocks, and little to negative correlation to bonds and gold.

Yikes! Carriage Services, an operator of funeral houses and retailer of caskets is up 80% in the last 12 months. The last time the stock performed so well was during the peak of Covid. Are people dropping like flies? (No position and not a recommendation) $CSV $SPY
