From the Bloomberg article on how “Oracle Corp., the once stodgy database giant that’s borrowed tens of billions and tethered its fortunes to the artificial intelligence boom, is quickly emerging as the credit market’s barometer for AI risk” and how it’s CDS (chart below) has become “the market’s preferred way to hedge — and bet against — the AI boom.”

What is happening here?
The number of year-over-year private job gains in 2024 was likely overstated by a MASSIVE 907,000 jobs, according to BLS data released Wednesday.
This comes as the Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages (QCEW) data covering 97% of employers showed a private payroll growth rate of 0.6% for December 2024.
This is 50% lower than the 1.2% growth rate initially reported in the monthly non-farm payroll (NFP) reports.
To put this differently, there was a 907,000 gap between NFP data and QCEW data in 2024.
This means jobs were likely overstated by an average of 75,583 PER MONTH in 2024.

Justin Herbert has thrown a TD in 26 straight regular season games. Tonight, Draft Kings boosted Herbert one passing touchdown from -800 to +100...he has yet to throw a TD.
Sports leagues and sports books are in cahoots with each other. Change my mind.
