Key discussion points include: US Economic Bifurcation: A look at why the US economy is showing robust jobs data and high growth tracking while consumer sentiment plunges to record lows. The Geopolitical Risk Premium: Assessing the impact of the US-Iran war on oil prices and whether markets are prematurely pricing in an end to the conflict. International Divergence: Marc analyzes the "insult to injury" data coming out of Germany and the suspicious timing of the Bank of Japan’s recent currency interventions. The Global AI Buildout: Why the semiconductor and data center surge is fueling unprecedented weekly gains in Asian equity markets like the KOSPI and TAIEX.
