AI headlines are back in focus, but this earnings season may be less about hype and more about scrutiny. Strong results from TSMC and a broad rally in semiconductor stocks reminded markets of AI’s growth potential, yet underlying risks remain. From complex financing structures at Meta to revenue recognition timing at Nvidia, investors are increasingly examining the quality behind the numbers. Rising costs, supply risks and stretched valuations add further pressure, making it clear that even Big Tech can no longer rely on sheer size to impress.
This episode explores how AI continues to shape markets, the dynamics of earnings...

US crude tumbles, silver plunges, and copper pulls back — all while the geopolitical heat from Iran cools slightly. But in tech, the cost story is just heating up. Nvidia’s H200 chips can now be sold to China, but a 25% fee collected when the chips pass through the US raises costs. China, meanwhile, has effectively halted H200 imports, adding another layer of uncertainty. TSMC beats earnings expectations thanks to strong AI demand, but building new fabs in the US is costly and time-consuming.
While metal prices are down this morning, the debasement trade continues to support the bullish outlook....

US markets are holding near record highs, but the mood is anything but settled. While US inflation data came in largely as expected, easing some immediate pressure on the Fed, political noise is creeping back into the pricing of rates, bonds and currencies. Expectations for a March rate cut are fading, yields are staying elevated, and concerns over Fed independence are largely in focus.
Earnings season adds another layer of complexity. S&P 500 profits are still expected to grow by more than 8%, with big tech doing the heavy lifting. But with valuations stretched, strong headline numbers may no longer...

The year is racing ahead, and markets are feeling every bump. Oil swung wildly last week after the U.S. operation in Venezuela, with Exxon saying the country was “un-investable” — only for Trump to push back. Energy ETFs fluctuated near record highs, crude tested key technical levels, but bullish bets remain historically low.
Meanwhile, Jerome Powell faces Justice Department scrutiny over Fed HQ renovations — though the real story is interest rates, not floors and ceilings.
December’s U.S. jobs data was mixed, but equities shrugged off early hawkish worries as liquidity flow remains interesting for risk takers-
If the Fed...

Global markets are losing momentum as the first full trading week of the year comes to an end. Big Tech is wobbling, with Nvidia slipping below its 50-day moving average and the Magnificent Seven struggling to find their footing. At the same time, defence stocks are back in favour after Donald Trump revived calls for a massive increase in US military spending, while energy names brush off weak oil prices.
In Asia, tech optimism resurfaces. Samsung flags a sharp jump in profits on booming AI-driven memory demand, while Chinese AI firm MiniMax steals the spotlight with a spectacular first day...

A strong start for cryptos in 2026, but will it be enough for an ATH.

The markets are dancing to a wild tune this week. The S&P 500 wobbled after mixed US data. Energy swings continue, fueled by headlines about Venezuela’s oil and other happenings on the geopolitical scene. Also, the White House is stepping into corporate affairs in ways that make investors squirm — from Nvidia’s China sales to defence dividends. Elsewhere, tensions rise as China restricts exports to Japan, hitting semiconductors and rare-earth materials, while gold quietly ticks higher as uncertainty grows. Turkey, for example, is putting a tracking system on every piece and bar of gold sold in the country to trace...

Many global indices are all pushing fresh peaks despite trade tensions, geopolitical headlines and lingering doubts over AI valuations, but leadership is shifting: metals are surging while tech shows early signs of fatigue. Silver is swinging around $80 as China clamps down on exports, tightening global supply, while copper hits record highs on tariff-driven flows and strong underlying demand. The softer US dollar is providing extra fuel for the rally, rotation trades pick up. Investors are navigating a landscape where macro support is strong — rate cuts loom, inflation is easing in key regions and geopolitical shocks are creating selective...
