    Can both USD and JPY launch a comeback? Also: another 200B capex story...

    Today, we discuss the ongoing "AI Overlay" trade, note another AI-related company that is not a hyperscaler, but is set to spend up to USD 200 billion on capacity expansions in coming years. Elsewhere, we discuss the strength of US treasury and Japans' government bond markets and whether this is contributing to pressure on precious metals. As well, we ponder whether both the US dollar and yen might strengthen against the other major currencies and the next keys for sterling direction. Today's pod features Saxo Head of Commodity Strategy Ole Hansen and is hosted by Saxo Global Head of Macro Strategy John J. Hardy.

    AI overlay mayhem: where is this taking us?

    Today, a look at everyone attempting to put on the "AI overlay" trade and whether this unsettles confidence in the market more broadly, or just deepens recent and very remarkable dispersion in the performance of many sectors. We also note the intense new focus on Walmart, which reports earnings later this week. Elsewhere, a rundown of macro and FX developments after soft US CPI data reported Friday and much more. Today's pod was hosted by Saxo Global Head of Macro Strategy John J. Hardy. A reminder to have a look at Friday's John J. Hardy substack post with some great additional links. Other links discussed on today's pod: Izabella Kaminska continues to provide some great thought leadership on the implications of widespread disruption from AI and how it can undermine its own future if we don't think through this carefully - particularly this post and her own response to a comment on that post are worth reading. As mentioned, Michael Every appeared on Adam Taggart's Thoughtful Money podcast with his latest thoughts. The overall uncertainty is very important to absorb from the conversation, in addition to the key points. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio delivered an important speech to the Munich Security Conference.  Two or three times per week, you will also find links discussed on the podcast and a chart-of-the-day over at the John J. Hardy substack. Read daily in-depth market updates from the Saxo Market Call and the Saxo Strategy Team here. Please reach out to us at marketcall@saxobank.com for feedback and questions.

    Is what comes next what hurts everyone the most?

    Today, strong notes of general concern as yesterday could have marked the beginning of a broader weakening in risk sentiment, which has so far been avoided amidst the wild churn in individual stocks in the US even as the overall index has chopped around within the high end of the range. The worst thing for this market might be a sudden return of high correlation across stocks. Elsewhere, the JPY rally stalled out on a modest USD comeback as we await key US CPI data today, while treasuries showed interesting signs of serving as a safe haven yesterday and gold did not - stay tuned there!

    AI disruption grenades continue to go off. JPY rattles its cage.

    Today, a look at carnage for additional individual names on AI disruption fears even amidst relative market calm in US equities. Elsewhere, a break down of the US jobs report, going way beyond all of the headlines on the January numbers to indicate how little the wiser we are all on the actual state of the US labor market from this specific report. As well, a look at the chunky further JPY rally and whether and how a possible revaluation of the yen might unfold from here. Today's pod is hosted by Saxo Global Head of Macro Strategy John J. Hardy. A link to John's The FX Trader piece from today. Two or three times per week, you will also find links discussed on the podcast and a chart-of-the-day over at the John J. Hardy substack.

    US payrolls revision in focus. Gold and silver: the calmer the better?

    Today, we discuss another session marked by notable divergences within the US stock universe, oil markets heading into territory that is starting to look expensive unless geopolitical tensions spill over into actual confrontation, the idea that the best things for gold and silver bulls might be for the price action to just calm down for a while, and the macro backdrop heating up with key US data ahead - especially today's US payrolls revisions, which are far more important than the latest data print. Meanwhile, the JPY is rumbling - can it roar? Today's pod features Saxo Head of Commodity Strategy Ole Hansen and is hosted by Saxo Global Head of Macro Strategy John J. Hardy.
