About this episode

The episode discusses the impact of capex plans and rising energy prices on the market, alongside insights from the recent FOMC meeting and Japan's currency situation.

Today - how the market is parsing the titanic capex plans for the four Mag7 companies reporting after the US market close yesterday. With crude oil prices spiking aggressively, maintaining the AI exceptionalism trade will prove difficult unless prices back down. Also, a far more interesting FOMC meeting than was expected as Powell vows to stay on and put up a fight for Fed independence, a fight that is doomed to fail. Elsewhere, Japan fights against JPY sell-off while recording today's pod, which is hosted by Saxo Global Head of Macro Strategy John J. Hardy.
