    Thursday - March 26, 2026

    On Thursday, March 26, Brian Szytel reports a broad market selloff (Dow down over 400 points, S&P down ~1.5%, Nasdaq down ~2%) driven by rotation out of AI/social-media tech and into energy and staples as Brent and WTI oil rise over 4% amid U.S.-Iran tensions and Strait of Hormuz disruptions. He notes the disruption also affects helium transport, with 27% of global helium transiting the strait and Taiwan sourcing about 69% of its helium that way, posing potential chip-production risks if prolonged. He outlines a U.S. “15-point plan” for Iran and warns failed negotiations could escalate, including actions on Iranian energy assets and possible ground troop deployment. Bonds also sell off after three weak Treasury auctions, pushing the 10-year yield up about 10 bps. He advises against trading around geopolitical events and explains WTI is globally priced. Initial jobless claims were 210,000, with muted labor-market activity. 00:00 Market Selloff Recap 00:41 Oil Surge and Strait Risks 01:00 Helium and Chip Supply Threat 02:05 US Iran 15 Point Plan 03:15 Bonds Slide and Yields Jump 03:39 Don’t Trade Geopolitics 04:19 Who Sets WTI Prices 05:17 Jobless Claims Check In 05:59 Wrap Up and Sign Off Links mentioned in this episode: DividendCafe.com TheBahnsenGroup.com

    Wednesday - March 25, 2026

    On Wednesday, March 25, Brian Szytel reports markets finished higher for the first time in a week, with the Dow up 305 points, the S&P 500 up 0.5%, and the Nasdaq up just over 0.7%, while yields and oil fell (10-year down about five basis points to 4.33; Brent down a few percent). He attributes the move to renewed U.S. rhetoric about a 15-point proposal to Iran aimed at de-escalation, followed by Iranian media calling it illogical, framing this as typical negotiation as a U.S. offer window nears expiration. He notes equities are only about 5–6% off highs and credit spreads have not moved much. He shifts to concerns about AI-driven market concentration, heavy AI venture capital exposure, and unresolved ROI. He explains how information gets “priced in” via many participants and probabilities, and cites hotter-than-expected February import (1.3%) and export (1.5%) prices. 00:00 Welcome and Setup 00:16 Market Snapshot 01:03 Iran Deal Headlines 02:14 Volatility and Credit Spreads 02:33 AI Concentration Risk 03:06 What Priced In Means 04:20 Import Export Price Data 05:03 Wrap Up and Sign Off Links mentioned in this episode: DividendCafe.com TheBahnsenGroup.com

    Tuesday - March 24, 2026

    Brian Szytel recaps a choppy, directionless market day marked by early heavy losses, a midday rebound, and a late fade amid negative sentiment tied to Middle East tensions: the Dow fell 84 points, the S&P 500 lost just over 0.3%, and the Nasdaq dropped about 0.8%, with tech weaker while defensives, dividend payers, and energy (helped by higher oil) held up better. He discusses conflicting reports about U.S.-Iran negotiations and expects uncertainty to persist for several days, while noting markets still seem to price in a potential off-ramp. He highlights that high-yield credit spreads remain tight at 319 bps over Treasuries, not signaling recession risk. Addressing a stagflation question, he argues current conditions differ from the 1970s despite tariff-driven one-time price effects. Economic updates were broadly positive: services and manufacturing PMIs stayed above 50, Q4 productivity was revised to 1.8%, and the Richmond Fed index was flat but beat expectations. 00:00 Market Recap Today 01:04 Middle East Tensions 02:05 Markets Still Hopeful 02:28 Credit Spreads Check 03:24 Stagflation Question 03:50 Why Not the 1970s 04:48 Tariffs and Inflation 05:35 Economic Data Rundown 06:36 Closing Thoughts Links mentioned in this episode: DividendCafe.com TheBahnsenGroup.com

    Today's Post - https://bahnsen.co/4c6aI2f In the Monday Dividend Cafe, the host recounts extreme market volatility after futures fell ~350 points overnight, then swung over 1,000 points higher on a Trump tweet claiming “very good and productive” U.S.-Iran talks and a five-day postponement of strikes; Iran denied negotiations, yet markets held gains, with the Dow closing up 631 points (+1.38%), S&P 500 up 1.15%, and Nasdaq up 1.38% amid large intraday ranges. Oil spiked near $104 then slid, with crude closing at $89 (-9.5%), while all 11 sectors finished positive led by consumer discretionary; healthcare lagged. Gold remained down ~16% from its high as the U.S. dollar drew safe-haven flows. The host highlights key near-term signals: Iran’s regional attacks and Strait of Hormuz developments, notes uncertainty about a market bottom, mentions TSA funding issues, shifting Fed expectations and internal disagreement, and midstream/LNG dynamics tied to offline capacity. 00:00 Wild Futures Whipsaw 00:45 Trump Tweet Sparks Rally 02:39 Did Iran Talks Happen 05:41 What Markets Watch Next 06:30 Sector Moves and Gold Drop 08:01 Have We Hit a Bottom 09:20 Policy Fed and Energy Notes 10:40 Week Ahead and Sign Off Links mentioned in this episode: DividendCafe.com TheBahnsenGroup.com

    Private Credit Contagion Risk and All the Lies

    Today's Post - https://bahnsen.co/47xUXzF David Bahnsen hosts this week’s Dividend Cafe, briefly noting ongoing Iran-related market volatility but avoiding a third straight week of geopolitical speculation, criticizing market pundits for pseudo-military commentary. He instead addresses private credit, arguing mainstream narratives wrongly conflate liquidity/redemption features with claims of current, broad credit distress. He says reported loan issues are being overstated, noting a $600 million sale from a multi-billion-dollar portfolio cleared at 99.7% of par, and that future defaults—if they rise—won’t be monolithic and require manager-, collateral-, and portfolio-level nuance. He outlines five points: avoid simplistic AI/software assumptions; recent loan sales were near par; losses fall on investors, not banks, making risk non-systemic; a washout of weak managers can strengthen capital allocation; and investors should distinguish good vs bad and aligned vs non-aligned managers. He adds software loan yields rose while total loan yields are lower than a year to 18 months ago. 00:00 Welcome and Market Volatility 00:42 Why Not Iran Again 02:51 Private Credit Enters Spotlight 03:25 Defaults vs Liquidity Confusion 04:57 What the Facts Show 06:11 AI Software Loan Hype 07:06 Five Key Takeaways 08:56 Systemic Risk Myth 10:20 Alignment Matters Most 11:28 Chatter vs Reality 12:37 Chart and Final Thoughts Links mentioned in this episode: DividendCafe.com TheBahnsenGroup.com

    Thursday - March 19, 2026

    Brian Szytel recaps a volatile, mostly down trading day with a late rally that still ended negative, warning against trying to time markets off Middle East headlines as volatility persists absent de-escalation. He notes Brent spiked to 111 then closed near 107 and WTI around 95–96 amid strikes affecting global LNG and energy infrastructure, and argues oil over 100 can shave GDP over time; markets appear priced for tensions to abate, with repricing risk if the conflict drags on. Offsetting positives include $160B in Q1 tax refunds (up 14% YoY), a shift from QT to balance-sheet expansion, GSE mortgage purchases, and financial deregulation reducing bank reserve requirements. He explains Strait of Hormuz risk (20% of global supply) drives prices, with speculation playing a role; the U.S. still imports ~35% of consumption. Data: jobless claims 205 vs 215, Philly Fed beat, wholesale inventories -0.5%, new home sales 587 vs 719. 00:00 Market Volatility Recap 00:55 Oil Shock and GDP Drag 01:43 Tailwinds Stimulus 03:12 Timing the Crosscurrents 04:14 Hormuz and Price Mechanics 05:18 US Imports and Refinery Reality 05:53 Economic Data Scorecard 06:36 Close and Sign Off Links mentioned in this episode: DividendCafe.com TheBahnsenGroup.com

    Tuesday - March 17, 2026

    Brian Szytel reports modestly positive markets from The Bahnsen Group’s Newport Beach office: the Dow rose 46 points, the S&P 500 gained 0.25%, the Nasdaq rose nearly 0.5%, and the 10-year yield fell 2 bps to 4.20% after trading in a 4.15%–4.30% range. Economic data were light, with February pending home sales notably stronger than expected, possibly reflecting slightly lower mortgage rates and pent-up demand. He previews upcoming PPI data and the Fed’s meeting conclusion, expected to leave rates unchanged at 3.50%–3.75%, while watching potential dot-plot changes amid new geopolitical developments. He addresses three market concerns—war with Iran, private credit default fears, and slowing AI capex—and explains fiduciary duty versus broker suitability standards. 00:00 Market Close Recap 00:41 Housing Data Snapshot 01:15 Fed Meeting Preview 01:39 Three Market Worries 01:56 Iran War Pricing 02:49 Private Credit Fears 03:51 AI Capex Reality Check 04:27 What Fiduciary Means 05:19 Wrap Up and Tomorrow Links mentioned in this episode: DividendCafe.com TheBahnsenGroup.com

    Today's Post - https://bahnsen.co/4lFUmle The episode recaps a broadly positive market day with the Dow up 388 points and all 11 sectors higher as tech and consumer discretionary led, while the 10-year yield fell to 4.22%. It notes that 43% of S&P 500 companies hit a 20-day low amid war-driven volatility, highlights extreme index concentration that could worsen if major private firms go public, and questions default fears given high-yield spreads near 3.17%. On Iran, the U.S. conducted targeted strikes while leaving energy infrastructure intact, and the Strait of Hormuz remains the key risk as oil closed above $94, with China potentially involved in reopening efforts and a Trump–Xi meeting delayed. Economic updates include Q4 real GDP revised down to 0.7%, flat durable goods orders, modest industrial production growth, and expectations that major central banks hold rates while guidance drives markets. 00:00 Welcome and Resources 00:47 Market Rally Recap 02:35 Index Concentration Risks 03:33 Private Credit Reality Check 04:42 Iran Strikes and Strait Risk 07:03 GDP Revision and Growth Drivers 08:14 Consumer and Industry Signals 09:35 Central Banks and Energy Outlook 10:52 Week Ahead and Sign Off Links mentioned in this episode: DividendCafe.com TheBahnsenGroup.com
