Futures opening soft but Russell's outperforming β small caps showing real relative strength here. Nikkei's up, but the real story is BoJ signaling a September hike, not the tape. Exporters are the ones to watch. #Nikkei#StockMarket
Iran and Oman agreed on a safe shipping route through Hormuz, but Tehran was explicit β this isn't reopening. Until the US blockade lifts, the risk premium stays intact. Cautious open into Monday. #Oil#Hormuz
US Inflation has now been above the Fed's target level for 65 consecutive months, averaging 4% per year since 2019.
So why is the Fed expanding its balance sheet again (QE)?
They should be doing the exact opposite - hiking rates and shrinking their balance sheet.

Nikkei touched a fresh record intraday before fading β normal price action at all-time highs, not a reversal. Watch BoJ rate signals, not the Fed, for Japan's next leg. Chip names (Advantest, Kioxia) still leading. #Nikkei225#Japan
S&P 500 broke 7,800 this week, but Friday's pullback (weak consumer sentiment, soft retail sales) is a reminder the AI-led rally is still fragile at the margins. VIX under 15 says nobody's panicking yet. Jackson Hole is the next real catalyst. #stockmarket
Risk-on. Major US indices are advancing, with Technology up +0.93% and Financials up +0.66%. Commodities like Copper and Natural Gas are also seeing significant gains, up +1.65% and +2.05% respectively. This indicates appetite for growth assets. #MarketOpen#RiskOn
AMD leads the market with a +5.54% surge. This strong move in a key semiconductor stock could be signaling broader conviction in technology. What happens if this sector momentum fails to hold?
@frombani The crypto move makes sense β people are hedging sovereign risk. TSLA thoughβ¦ what's your thesis? Dip buy only works if you believe the selloff is sentiment-driven, not structural. With this Iran backdrop, I'm not sure we've seen the full flush yet.
@willywoo introduces "Supply Shock," advocating for price prediction by quantifying true market intent. He emphasizes moving beyond simple demand/supply to gauge buyer and seller intent. Essential for market analysis.
