The waiting is the hardest part

2025/10/16

Markets are hopeful that we get some kind of new US-China detente on trade ahead of a purported Xi-Trump summit "later this month". The stakes couldn't be higher. Plenty more to talk about as well as metals continue to scream higher in a slightly nervy market. Today's pod hosted by Saxo Global Head of Macro Strategy John J. Hardy.No substack post today on the John J. Hardy substack, but here's a link discussed in today's pod (HT FTAlphaville) on What happens when Chinese resolve meets American

2025/10/10

Today - we look at the wild ride in silver after it hit 50 dollars an ounce yesterday and for the first time ever - can the run continue?

Talk of "melt-up" now competing with "bubble risk"

Saxo Market Call ·

2025/10/09

Today we look at the latest surge in US equities, led by key AI stocks while noting that talk of "melt-up" risk has become far more prevalent. We also note what types of developments in the market might suggest that the end of this incredible speculative run is getting closer. A few thoughts on the decline in the Japanese yen and what, if anything, can reverse it, more on private credit and misleading calm in junk bond yields, links of the day and more are also on today's pod, which is hosted by

2025/10/08

Today, a look at the weakest equity market session in the US in the last few weeks, with at least one key AI story triggering a bit of unease, while Tesla news disappointed. But macro was the headline stealer yesterday as the Japanese yen was thrashed across the board and gold soared above $4,000 for the first time. Also: today is crunch time for whether France can kick the political can to the 2027 election, the dispersion trade is getting wild and deserves our attention, speculative froth is

One deal closer in the AI capex endgame

Saxo Market Call ·

2025/10/07

Today, a fresh burst of speculative energy in the AI space on the OpenAI - AMD deal, which has generated some of the funnier takes from market observers as the level of absurdity is getting worse here. The deal is the latest step forward in what one observer has called the "AI capex endgame". We also talk the latest geopolitical bits and pieces, a series of must reads for whether this is an AI bubble and how it unwinds if so, macro and FX and much more.

Today, a look at Japan's political earthquake as Takaichi emerges victorious after the oddsmakers and the market got the situation completely wrong, sending the yen sharply lower. But will this initial reaction to her victory stick in the longer run? Elsewhere, France's political dysfunction takes on new urgency as the latest PM has now resigned. Also, Palantir suffers a glitch, market internals are ablaze with divergences, some great must reads and listens on Japan and credit and more. Today's pod

Retail frenzy while credit concerns fly under the radar

Saxo Market Call ·

2025/10/03

Today we look at many AI names and the broader market posting a strong day, if one that finished off the highs - while Tesla shareholders got a very bad, no good bearish candlestick. Importantly, we cover the big markdown in private equity stocks, possibly linked to the First Brands bankruptcy, as well as whether this is this is a one-off or the beginning of a wider contagion. Geopolitics, macro and FX, more links and much more also on today's pod, which is hosted by Saxo Global Head of Macro

2025/10/02

Today, we look at the US market blasting to a new all time high, apparently to celebrate the dovish implications for the Fed from the government shutdown, but especially from some very weak ADP payrolls data released yesterday, which pushed US treasury yields lower. We talk geopolitics and the crude oil outlook and whether anything can stop the run higher in gold and silver with Saxo Head of Commodity Strategy Ole Hansen. Also, we note one asset class that is flashing red under the radar amidst all

Saxo Market Call ·

2025/09/30

Today we consider the risks of a US government shut down and why it is likely to happen even if it doesn't extend for long, what kind of damage it can inflict on the economy and more. Also, we note the sudden surge in the JPY as the wily currency is back on the rally path after nearly getting drop kicked above 150.00 in USDJPY just two trading days ago. Earnings, geopolitics, some great links to other content and more also covered on today's pod, which was hosted by Saxo Global Head of Macro

Dancing away from the brink into quarter end

Saxo Market Call ·

2025/09/29

Today we look at markets in a fine mood since the Friday close as treasury yields failed to punch into destabilizing territory and crypto arrested its decline and bounced back after testing below key levels as well. The next focus this week is on the risk of a US government shutdown starting this Wednesday, together with the key first week of the month economic data. This and much more on today's pod, which is hosted by Saxo Global Head of Macro Strategy John J. Hardy.Links discussed on the podcast

Today we make a structural, if patient call on the direction of crude oil from here, while also looking at the situation for European natural gas heading into the winter. Also, while stocks staged a decent comeback from the lows yesterday, we note some potential headwinds that could keep volatility high, with or without a US government shutdown next Wednesday.

Consolidation-ville or correction-ville?

Saxo Market Call ·

2025/09/25

Today, a look at another weak session for US equities, with few stand-out themes amidst the broad weakness. The concern going into next Tuesday's September 30 government shutdown continues to build and could be a determining factor in whether we remain in consolidation-ville or tip over into correction-ville. Another factor could be USDJPY and the fallout if it breaks higher. Some key developments in copper on an Indonesian copper mine disaster, a compelling biotech stock story, other single stock

2025/09/24

Today a look at the US equity market finally suffering a down day, perhaps in part as government shutdown risks are growing ahead of the September 30 deadline. We note increasing signs of a harder US attitude against Russia from the Trump administration, break down the latest disappointing news from Germany's economic data, what's going on in macro and FX and how one US lithium company saw as much as a 75% surge after hours after the Trump administration expressed interest in taking partial

We also look at the latest boost to AI stocks as Nvidia decides to "vendor finance" OpenAI data centers to the tune of USD 100 billion as we discuss the performance of an AI basket of 24 stocks. We also discuss precious metals shooting the lights out while crude oil drags along with Saxo's Head of Commodities Strategy Ole Hansen and much more. Today's pod hosted by Saxo Global

2025/09/22

Today, we look at the still narrow US equity market managing to post new all-time highs, while the broader market is mixed. Some signs of froth are forming in this market as some of the most speculative stocks, including quantum computing names and one we profile that is really not much more than a bunch of promises at this point, are ramping exponentially on the latest news flow, even when earnings are years away. We also look at the follow-on reaction to the FOMC and Bank of Japan meetings, what

2025/09/18

The market was desperate for FOMC takeaways, but alas, despite interesting details, the overall picture was one that mostly validated the existing lay of the land, resulting in some choppy market action but no big changes in the macro or FX picture by later this morning in Europe, though risk appetite seems to be getting a further boost. Are equity investors overreaching soon? Also on today's pod, single stock news, a look at the upcoming Bank of Japan meeting tonight as the JPY punches to new lows

2025/09/17

Today, some final thoughts on what could be a shambolic FOMC meeting, given the risk of a three-way vote and possibly vague statements, given the possible influence of newly minted Fed Governor Stephen Miran. Also, a very interesting development yesterday suggests Fed control of interest rates is slipping - or is this just a one off because of tonight's meeting? Elsewhere, the US dollar has broken down. This, some must reads and must listens and more on today's pod, which is hosted by Saxo Global

Is there any surprise scenario for tomorrow's FOMC?

Saxo Market Call ·

2025/09/16

Today, a breakdown of the market action yesterday in US equities, with big games in Google-parent Alphabet and even bigger gains in an "old tech" stock that has suddenly been revivified by AI. We also look forward to the FOMC tomorrow and wonder why the Fed doesn't go ahead and cut 50 basis points, even if they are most likely not to. Meanwhile, the US dollar is already breaking lower ahead of the fact - after all, isn't the hawkish scenario non-existent? Lots more also on today's pod which is
