The stock market is broken.
The S&P just hit its highest level of negative beta.
This means that as the S&P 500 goes up, the highest level of stocks ever are moving in the opposite direction.
A handful of companies are holding up the whole market by investing hundreds of billions in AI, while the rest of the market falls.
This is not a healthy market. Be careful out there...
The conundrum.🚨
A historic, systemic divergence is taking place right before our eyes. As shown in the chart below, the Nasdaq continues to push upward in complete isolation, while the broader engine of the economy the Russell 2000, Dow Jones, Dow Transportation, and the Banking sector are breaking down.
~
This is not a healthy rotation; it is a profound structural disconnect. With macro yields signaling severe underlying stress, the broader market is flashing a clear warning of what lies ahead.
~
When the pillars of transport and banking give way, the tech sector cannot hold the line indefinitely.
Hope this helps.
Yours truly,
The Great Martis 💫
God bless and godspeed.
Fannie Mae manages over $4.6 trillion in mortgage risk, but its financial safety cushion is thin.
With a total net worth of around $116 billion, its capital cushion represents just 2.5% of its total exposure.
If single-family serious delinquencies rise from the current 0.58% to just 1.5%, its quarterly profits completely vanish.
While structural backstops like private mortgage insurance (PMI) and credit risk transfers (CRTs) protect it from an immediate 2008-style collapse, the institution operates on a razor-thin margin.
A relatively minor macroeconomic shift is all it takes to trigger a major corporate income crisis.
If a rise in delinquencies to 1.5% is considered a nightmare scenario, you can only imagine what a 5% rate would look like.
The major breach of its Head and Shoulders neckline is highly concerning and likely a Dire warning.🚨
Freddie Mac is walking the exact same dire path..but that is a story for another day.

The S&P 500 is 0.7% below a record high, yet 430 of those stocks are 21.7% below their highs. That means on average 86% of the stocks are in a bear market. Breadth has only been this bad twice, in January 1973 and in 1999/2000. On both occasions, the S&P then crashed nearly 50%
Andy Burnham may call an early general election because his "honeymoon period" will be over once he has to make decisions that "upset a lot of people", says ex-Labour special adviser @WizBates.

BREAKING: The US is again moving large numbers of strategic tankers and C-17 military transport aircraft toward the Middle East, with multiple aircraft tracked landing in Israel as a new US air bridge takes shape ahead of a potential large-scale attack on Iran, per Flightradar.
The buildup comes alongside increased military flight activity around the Strait of Hormuz and Iran , including KC-135 Stratotankers, KC-46 Pegasus tankers and MQ-4C Triton surveillance drones, as the US continues positioning forces and equipment in the region. The activity echoes patterns seen before previous strikes.
It comes days after Trump threatened to “annihilate” Iran at the UN, adding to growing indications of preparations for a possible major US operation against Tehran.
Iran has also kept its military at its highest alert level since shortly after Trump cut short his Camp David trip.
BREAKING: Foreign purchases of short-term US debt just collapsed 80% in a year, falling from $250.5 billion to just $49.4 billion.
Long-term US debt purchases from foreign buyers also fell 46% over the same period, a combined $410 billion reversal.
This is happening right as the US needs to finance record amounts of new debt.
After US Treasury yields surged, today it’s Japan’s turn to go vertical.
Japan’s bond yields are jumping across the curve:
2Y: 1.90% (+6 bps)
10Y: 3.08% (+9 bps)
30Y: 4.16% (+8 bps)
The feedback loop continues.
Higher Japanese yields increase the incentive for Japanese investors to bring capital home, putting further selling pressure on US Treasuries.
US yields rise. Japanese yields rise. Global bond markets reinforce each other.
Welcome to a world where interest rates move like crypto.
