    Trading: Recapping a Day of Continuous Market Rally

    AI — Dubbed version. The voice and lip sync were generated by artificial intelligence from the original French recording. The script, the statements and the analysis are Benoist Rousseau’s own.In this trading episode, I narrate a day of continuous market rally, from the opening bell to the final moves on Wall Street. The common thread is that persistent feeling of always buying too high, only to see the market hold its ground and move up again. I connect this market movement to three pillars: the easing of US interest rates, oil prices no longer panicking despite bad news, and a Fed communication perceived as clear. Along the way, I provide an update on the Nasdaq, CAC 40, DAX, Dow Jones, S&P 500, gold, and bitcoin.

    FOMC: I Gave Back My Gains Before Seeing the Market Rebound

    AI — Dubbed version. The voice and lip sync were generated by artificial intelligence from the original French recording. The script, the statements and the analysis are Benoist Rousseau’s own.FOMC, trading, and risk management: in this episode, I recount how I gave back the gains from Monday and Tuesday during the Fed's speech. I was positioned on the Nasdaq with a position size that was too large during a sharp acceleration, and then cut the loss before the rebound. This experience sheds light on trader psychology, money management, the volatility of central bank announcements, and the difference between trying to catch a bottom and overloading a position. A concrete narrative, without sugarcoating the session.

    Wall Street: From Jack Ma to SK INX, the New Fundraising Record

    This episode explores the new fundraising record on Wall Street set by SK INX's $26.5 billion IPO on the Nasdaq. Surpassing Alibaba's 2014 milestone, this initial public offering provides a lens to examine supply and demand mechanics, the central role of memory chips for AI, and the ripple effect on competitors like Micron and SanDisk. We also explore the stark contrast between these stock market records, the war in the Middle East, and global oil tensions.

    Chips and the Fed: Why a 19x Profit Is No Longer Enough

    Chips and the Fed kick off this episode with a simple idea: the market punished what were, in fact, outstanding results. I revisit Samsung, whose profit multiplied 19-fold, the decline in tech stocks, the pressure from DeepSeek, and the Nasdaq hitting a major support level. I also explain why the Fed, the FOMC minutes, the rise in oil prices, and inflation risk weighed on the mood, while the Dow Jones and S&P 500 held up better.

    Wall Street: Records, Euphoric Credit, and the Risk of Disappointment

    Wall Street is starting the week with record highs, but Benoist Rousseau quickly points to the real test: earnings season. In this episode, he connects high valuations, expectations of sharply rising profits, very low credit spreads, and a potential stock market disappointment. He details the contrast between a solid Dow Jones, a more hesitant Nasdaq, and an S&P 500 driven by a handful of giants. He then recalls a precedent with General Electric and expectations being beaten by the exact cent. The watchword: caution in the face of an expensive and overly confident market.

    Bond Market: Why It Was Still Calling the Shots

    Bond market, yield curve, 2-year 10-year spread: in this episode, I started from today's US jobs report to revisit an old quote from James Carville, who wished to be reincarnated as the bond market. It perfectly summed up the session: this discreet market was still setting the pace for stocks, the Nasdaq, tech stocks, and the interpretation of the NFP. I connected the tension on rates, the risk of a rate hike, the drop in chip stocks in Asia, and the caution of traders before 2:30 PM.

    US Jobs Report: Why Good Numbers Can Make the Stock Market Fall

    US jobs report and the stock market: in this episode, I explain why a strong jobs number can worry the stock market. I review the logic connecting inflation, interest rates, the Fed, and stock valuations, against a backdrop of Wall Street at its highs. I also discuss the ADP report, the major monthly employment report, the calm of the bond market via the MOVE index, and the risk of a rate resurgence. A useful listen to understand why good macroeconomic news can be poorly received by the markets.
