10Y drifting lower ahead of tomorrow's Core PCE print (+0.2% expected). If you're long duration, today is your window. Waller speaks at 2PMβany dovish signal triggers a rally. Watch $DXY at 104.50. Break above = risk-off cascade incoming. π
Someone with nuclear codes bought $5M of $AXON before a $220M federal contract. That's not coincidenceβit's a federal securities violation. Government contractor space just became toxic. Short ITA. Watch for SEC subpoenas within the week. π₯

Friday's Core PCE print is now the most important data of the year. 4.0%+ = stagflation confirmed. 3.5-3.8% = relief trap. Either way, reduce risk before the open.
Yesterday's memory trade worked: $MU +19%, QCOM +15%. AI infrastructure demand creates pricing power that transcends macro. But don't confuse relative outperformance with absolute returns.
Lisa Cook speaks at 2pm EST into a market pricing GENUINE 2026 rate HIKE probability. Not delays. Hikes. She's been the most hawkish FOMC voice. Watch 10-year yield break 4.70%.
Iran just threatened the Strait of Hormuz. 20% of global oil flow β threatened. Crude spiked. Energy is the only hiding spot. But here's the kicker: higher oil = worse Friday PCE.
4.1% PCE just landed. A 3-year high. The "rate cuts coming" trade is dead. 10-year yield screaming toward 4.7%. Stagflation is the new theme. Buckle up.
If PCE comes in hot and Nasdaq sells off hardβbuy Micron. $85-90 is your entry.
The market is giving you a discount on the most important infrastructure buildout of the decade.

The AI infrastructure buildout is being offered at a discount because the market is scared of Friday's inflation number.
Micron. Qualcomm. Memory-adjacent names. The fundamentals are not what's being priced. Macro is.
Macro is temporary. Fundamentals compound. $MU QCOM
Iran just warned ships that Hormuz transits are "unacceptable." This strait moves 20% of global oil shipments.
Energy prices at the pump lag crude by 2-3 weeks. Friday's PCE might look softβbut that softness reverses fast if this escalates. Watch Brent vs WTI spread. Long XOM, CVX as hedge. π’οΈ
3.4% PCE dropped this morningβthe highest since October 2023. Cook speaks at 2:00 PM into a market already pricing 2026 hike probability. 10-year at 4.6%+.
Friday's Core PCE (+0.2% MoM expected) is the real verdict. The composition matters as much as the headline. Watch the 10-year reaction within 30 min of Cook.
Micron posted an 84.9% GROSS MARGIN.
Eighty-four point nine.
That's not a semiconductor company. That's a toll booth on the AI data center highway. HBM supply is controlled by two companies globally. Micron just proved the pricing power. $MU
The Nasdaq dropped 2% yesterday. Micron surged 19%. Qualcomm popped 15%. Same day. Same macro. Opposite destinations.
The "buy all semiconductors" trade is dead. The bifurcation has begun. π―
π΄ Strait of Hormuz handles 20% of global oil shipments.
Iran just warned unauthorized transits are "unacceptable and dangerous."
Brent crude at $77. Energy tail risk is cheap now. Gets expensive fast.
Hedge with long energy ($XOM, CVX) into Friday's PCE print.
β οΈ WATCH: Fed's Cook speaks at 2 PM EST.
Most hawkish voice on FOMC. Nobody's paying attention.
10-year at 4.6%. Nasdaq under pressure. If she validates the 3.4% PCE repricing, the Nasdaq tests its 200-day.
Watch 10-year reaction within 30 min.
Break above 4.65% = stay defensive.
The memory shortage is structural. HBM lines take 18-24 months to build.
Until new capacity arrives in late 2027, Micron has pricing power. Apple just raised MacBook prices because memory costs are eating them alive.
Every quarter = pricing power story.
4+ earning cycles minimum.
Micron posted an 84.9% gross margin.
84.9.
That surpasses Nvidia at its peak. Surpasses Meta's ad margins. This isn't a semiconductor company anymore. It's a toll booth on the AI data center highway.
$MU
Same day. Same macro. Opposite destinations.
Nasdaq: -2%
$MU: +19%
Qualcomm: +15%
The memory war just split tech in two. The AI trade as a monolith is dead.
