On The Tape with Danny Moses

Get RenMac's Research HERE: https://linktr.ee/renmacllcDanny Moses welcomes back Jeff deGraff, CEO and chief market strategist of Renaissance Macro Research (RenMac), to discuss a market that feels increasingly fragile and top-heavy, highlighted by the gap between cap-weighted and equal-weight S&P 500 performance. DeGraff explains how passive flows and momentum concentration distort benchmarks, while higher real rates pressure the average stock and tighten financial conditions. They examine widening credit spreads led by triple-C junk, signs of deterioration in speculative areas, and why credit is the key signal for equities. The conversation covers semiconductors and AI as cyclical trades with valuation risks, including takeaways from RenMac’s podcast guest on uneven AI spending. DeGraff cites supportive seasonality but stresses strong Q3 earnings and loan-book trends are needed. He favors energy and healthcare, discusses Treasury term premium dynamics and auctions, and reviews how real rates and European fiscal concerns are driving dollar strength.Timecodes0:00 - Intro3:00 - Top-Heavy Market8:10 - Credit Cycles14:00 - AI Trade21:30 - Seasonality24:55 - Earnings Picture28:40 - Energy & Healthcare32:10 - Bond Market40:05 - US Dollar43:25 - Outro--ABOUT THE SHOWFor decades, Danny has seen it all on Wall Street and has built his reputation on integrity, curiosity and skepticism that he will bring with him each week.

Checkout 22V Advisory Direct: https://22vad.com/Host Danny Moses welcomes back 22V Research founder and CEO Dennis DeBusschere to discuss his prior market calls, including the S&P 500 reaching 7,800, and to unpack Kevin Warsh’s first Fed rate hike since 2023. DeBusschere argues the hike is justified by unexpectedly strong growth, tight unemployment, and inflation risks, and explains how higher 10-year yields can coexist with tight credit spreads as markets price stronger growth driven in part by massive AI-related CapEx. They discuss Treasury Secretary Bessent’s efforts to influence long-term yields and why policy can’t overpower fundamentals for long, plus the role of elevated oil from the Iran war. DeBusschere outlines positioning: prefer AI beneficiaries and software/services gaining margins, be cautious on consumers, transports, and financials, and buy housing if AI CapEx slows. They also cover US midterms, Brazil’s election dynamics, and 22V’s launch of 22V Advisory Direct.--ABOUT THE SHOWFor decades, Danny has seen it all on Wall Street and has built his reputation on integrity, curiosity and skepticism that he will bring with him each week.
