- Venice recently completed a funding round, achieving a billion-dollar valuation and generating 20 to 30 million in new investments, which is a positive sign for its long-term viability.

- Is characterized as a speculative asset, lacking the real-world adoption necessary to sustain its recent rally despite its fundamental strengths.
- Arrow is noted as a solid performer, benefiting from its partnership with Coinbase and maintaining a position above the track line, indicating relative strength compared to other assets.

- XRP has not significantly broken out of its historical trading range since 2017, indicating persistent resistance levels.
- Circle's stablecoin has recently shown a downtrend, with a red candle appearing for the first time in its history on the weekly chart, suggesting a potential trend reversal.
- Circle's price is influenced by the broader crypto market, indicating that despite its viable business model, its performance is tied to market sentiment and trends.
- The speaker expresses uncertainty about Circle as an investment, noting that its price movements are erratic and often reflect the overall crypto market rather than its financial fundamentals.
- The speaker emphasizes that while Circle has a solid product market fit, its price is currently trapped in a meme coin narrative, complicating its investment appeal.
- Our interpretation: The persistent resistance levels for XRP and the downtrend in Circle's stablecoin highlight the challenges in the current crypto market, suggesting that investors may need to reassess their positions in these assets.

- Coinbase benefits from multiple revenue streams, including institutional holdings, ETFs, Treasury yields, trading fees, and custody services, making it less dependent on stablecoins compared to Circle.
- Despite experiencing a 66% drawdown from its peak, Coinbase's diversified revenue model may help mitigate volatility, although it remains correlated with the overall performance of the crypto market.
- Coinbase's extensive involvement in various aspects of crypto, including stablecoins and prediction markets, positions it as a significant player within the crypto ecosystem.

- The speaker emphasizes the importance of monitoring the Coinbase-Bitcoin chart to determine whether holding Coinbase is more advantageous than holding Bitcoin directly.
- A significant trend reversal has occurred in the Canton cryptocurrency, which had been trending upwards but recently broke down before reaching its previous high, indicating potential volatility.
- The recent downturn in Canton was unexpected, as it had been showing a cup and handle pattern, suggesting a need for further investigation into the underlying causes.
- Our interpretation: The correlation between Coinbase and Bitcoin suggests that investors may consider Coinbase as a leveraged play on Bitcoin's price movements, but recent volatility in Canton highlights the risks associated with crypto investments.

- This observation is consistent with historical market cycles, where such events have acted as catalysts for significant price movements.
- The speaker presents the potential black swan event as a buying opportunity, suggesting that lower prices could be capitalized on.
- There is a warning about the negative impact of a major company collapse, such as FTX, on investor confidence and overall market stability.

- There is a notable disconnect between the hawkish rhetoric of central banks and the declining market pricing of inflation.
- Rising real interest rates, which typically support a stronger dollar, are currently observed.
- The Federal Reserve's recent projections reflect a more hawkish stance due to previous underestimations of inflation.

- Andreas indicates that there are no signs of a slowdown in AI, despite discussions surrounding the token expenditure index and DRAM spot price.
- He clarifies that the decline in the token expenditure index does not signal a red flag for the AI trade, as it reflects a shift towards Chinese open-source models rather than an overall decrease in volume.
- Andreas notes that memory pricing has accelerated since the last quarter, despite previous market volatility.
- He points out that demand for memory is being front-loaded due to concerns over potential shortages linked to geopolitical tensions, particularly the Iran war.
- The speaker observes significant volatility in popular retail trades in memory, indicating active trading behavior among investors.

- There is uncertainty regarding the Trump administration's stance on allowing Apple to use Chinese memory chips, with predictions leaning towards a likely 'no' response.
- The speaker highlights the delicate balance between preventing memory chip shortages and the potential impact on consumer products, noting recent price increases for iPhones and iPads.
- The current situation regarding technology trades was forecasted during the Iran War, attributed to a front-loading of demand for memory chips.
- The second half of the year is expected to be significantly influenced by demand for AI semiconductors, impacting sectors such as consumer electronics and automotive.
- Our interpretation: Ongoing geopolitical tensions, particularly related to the Iran War, are likely to exacerbate supply chain issues in the semiconductor market, leading to inflationary pressures in consumer electronics and potential volatility in tech stocks as demand for AI-related products continues to rise amidst supply constraints.

- Ram Ahluwalia observes that despite ongoing geopolitical risks and negative sentiment, earnings growth is anticipated to surpass 20% year-over-year, indicating a potential continuation of the bull market.
- Seth Ginns points out the swift recovery of altcoins, with some assets gaining between 15% to 80% over short timeframes, reflecting bullish market conditions.
- Jeff Dorman asserts that the current market rally is largely fueled by robust earnings growth, which he describes as a significant earnings boom, with both revenues and margins on the rise.
- Dorman notes that only a limited number of crypto tokens possess equity-like traits, such as strong revenues and cash flows, which are crucial for their price increases.
- The discussion indicates that recent geopolitical events, particularly the conflict in the Middle East, have not had lasting effects on market performance, with earnings growth remaining the primary driver.
- Our interpretation: The prevailing market dynamics suggest that strong earnings momentum, especially in the context of AI-driven productivity, may sustain bullish sentiment in equities and select crypto assets, while geopolitical tensions seem to exert minimal long-term influence on market fundamentals.

- Retail investors are increasingly influencing IPOs, with platforms like Robinhood and E-Trade evolving to enable retail participation in underwriting processes.

- The European Central Bank has maintained its position on interest rate hikes despite a decline in energy prices, indicating a commitment to its monetary policy.
- The Federal Reserve has revised its inflation projections downward but does not foresee a significant drop in inflation, even with the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz.
- The speaker expresses a strong belief in betting against the inflation forecasts of both the Federal Reserve and the European Central Bank, particularly noting that the ECB's mild inflation scenario anticipates an oil price of $88 per barrel, which exceeds current market levels.
- A positive liquidity channel is expected, with a substantial increase in liquidity projected over the next four to five weeks, which may bolster asset prices.
- The current sideways growth environment could prompt a shift towards more cyclical sectors, such as industrials, as liquidity conditions improve.
- Exports from South Korea in the memory sector have surged by 60-65% year over year, reflecting robust demand and increasing spot prices for DRAM, which may benefit companies like Micron.

FULL
00:00–05:00
- Mike Alfred emphasizes that many investors are neglecting the critical fundamentals of scarce land, power, and infrastructure, which are essential for AI development.
- He notes that the past few years have posed significant challenges for investors, marked by events such as the banking crisis and looming recessions that have altered market dynamics.
- Alfred highlights that AI has emerged as the only consistently profitable trade over the last three years, particularly benefiting companies like Nvidia, which have substantial exposure to AI technologies.
- He explains the transition of Bitcoin miners into infrastructure developers, stressing the necessity for high-quality, scalable infrastructure that can operate efficiently with low energy costs.
- Alfred contrasts the common belief that data center development would predominantly occur in Northern Virginia with his view that regions with abundant renewable energy, such as West Texas, are more advantageous for such developments.
- Our interpretation: The focus on scarce resources like land and power in AI infrastructure suggests a potential shift in investment strategies, where the scarcity of these assets may drive future market dynamics, particularly in the context of rising energy costs and the evolving landscape of digital assets.

- The signing ceremony for the US-Iran deal is scheduled for later this week in Switzerland, marking a significant geopolitical development.
- The memorandum of understanding allows Iran to sell its oil globally without sanctions for the next 60 days.
- The US administration has reportedly managed to export approximately three million barrels a day from the Persian Gulf, potentially affecting global oil supply dynamics.
- Concerns regarding the uranium question in the deal have been raised by some members of the US administration.
- Current assessments indicate that the oil market is experiencing a supply surplus, suggesting a favorable shift in the balance between supply and demand.
- Our interpretation: The potential reopening of the Strait of Hormuz and the easing of sanctions on Iranian oil could lead to increased global oil supply, which may suppress oil prices and impact inflation expectations, thereby influencing energy equities and commodities markets.
INSTRUMENTS

FULL
10:00–15:00
- Over 125 million barrels have reportedly left the Strait of Hormuz since the launch of Operation Freedom, with a daily flow estimated at three million barrels.
- Both Iranian and US administrations had incentives to obscure oil flows, as Iran managed to export oil along its coastline while the US blockade could not interfere in territorial waters.
- Current estimates suggest the oil market is in a mild surplus, ranging between one and two million barrels a day, despite contrary reports.
- If sanctions on Iranian oil are lifted for the next 60 days, it could add significantly to global supply, potentially reaching close to four million barrels a day.
- The departure of the United Arab Emirates from the OPEC Plus group indicates a lack of consensus among Arab producers on supply management, which may lead to increased supply and downward pressure on oil prices.
- Our interpretation: The potential lifting of sanctions on Iranian oil, combined with the current supply surplus, suggests a risk of declining oil prices below $70, which could impact inflation expectations and energy equities as market participants adjust to the new supply dynamics.

- The speaker criticizes the European Central Bank for raising interest rates just before a resolution in the Strait of Hormuz, indicating poor timing.
- The European Central Bank forecasts a growth rate of 0.8% for the Eurozone in 2026, despite experiencing negative growth in the first quarter.
- To align with its growth projections, the European Central Bank would require three quarters of approximately 0.5% growth, which the speaker views as overly optimistic.
- The speaker suggests that central banks, including the European Central Bank, may need to reconsider their inflation concerns due to recent oil price developments.
- The resolution in the Strait of Hormuz has resulted in a notable decline in oil prices, potentially affecting inflation expectations and central bank strategies.
- Our interpretation: The recent resolution in the Strait of Hormuz, combined with the European Central Bank's questionable timing on interest rate hikes, indicates a potential shift in inflation dynamics. As oil prices decrease, central banks may be pressured to reassess their inflation outlook, which could lead to adjustments in interest rate strategies and impact equities and commodities markets.

- The export curve and subsequent decline in statements have reduced the risk of a left tail scenario for companies like Anthropic and OpenAI, indicating these models may now be too big to fail.
- The combined revenue projections for Anthropic and OpenAI reflect a shift in market sentiment, as government involvement may provide a safety net, alleviating concerns among portfolio managers.
- SpaceX's IPO marked the largest in history, with a notable price increase of 15-20% on its first trading day, showcasing strong market demand for growth stocks.
- Total IPO proceeds this year are projected to reach approximately $300 billion, which, while significant, is relatively modest in historical context when adjusted for inflation.
- Our interpretation: Recent developments in the AI sector, particularly regarding export restrictions and potential government support, suggest a shift in risk dynamics that could foster a more favorable environment for growth stocks and tech IPOs.

- Concerns arise regarding a potential shift in market activity towards cheaper models ahead of the IPOs of certain tech companies, as major firms like Microsoft have curtailed their cloud spending.
- There is a notable year-on-year growth of nearly 90% in South Korean exports for the first 10 days of the month, although this figure may be less dramatic when adjusted for workday variations.
- Despite the record nominal IPO achieved recently, there remains potential for a market rally, supported by a favorable liquidity outlook expected to persist until August.
- The oil market is currently experiencing a surplus, a development that was not widely anticipated a few months ago, with future trends contingent on whether China resumes its purchasing activities.
- Our interpretation: The dynamics in the IPO market and the oil surplus suggest a potential reallocation of capital, with tech investments facing scrutiny while commodity markets hinge on China's demand recovery.

Why This El Niño Could Be Different with Shawn Hackett & Ash Bennington
A super El Niño is characterized by sea surface temperatures in the central Pacific exceeding normal levels by two degrees Celsius or more.
FULL
00:00–05:00
- A super El Niño is characterized by sea surface temperatures in the central Pacific exceeding normal levels by two degrees Celsius or more.
- Since 1850, only seven super El Niños have occurred, highlighting their rarity and potential impact.
- The current super El Niño may mirror the severe agricultural disruptions experienced during 1877-1878.
- Not all super El Niños result in increased weather volatility, but this one is believed to carry heightened risks for global food supplies.
- If current models and media forecasts hold true, significant repercussions for food prices, inflation, and geopolitical stability could arise.
- Our interpretation: The potential for substantial agricultural disruption from this super El Niño may lead to increased volatility in food-related markets, prompting investors to reassess risk exposure in commodities and inflation-sensitive assets.
INSTRUMENTS
WHEAT
The discussion centers on agricultural disruptions due to the super El Niño.
CORN
Corn is also a key agricultural commodity likely to be impacted by the same weather disruptions.
SOYBEANS
Soybeans are another critical crop that could be affected by the super El Niño's impact on agriculture.
FULL
05:00–10:00
- The 1877-1878 El Niño caused widespread drought across Asia, impacting countries such as India, China, and Australia simultaneously.
- This drought was notable for its extensive geographical reach, affecting the entire Asian continent rather than isolated regions, which amplified its effects.
- During this period, significant famines occurred due to insufficient food supply, with rice and wheat prices surging by 600%.
- While modern technology may alleviate some famine effects, the risk of substantial food supply disruptions remains a concern.
- The highest sea surface temperature anomaly recorded during the 1877-1878 El Niño was 2.7 degrees above normal, contributing to its severe impact.
- Our interpretation: A similar El Niño event today could lead to significant agricultural disruptions, impacting food prices and inflation, which may in turn affect geopolitical stability and economic conditions across Asia and beyond.
INSTRUMENTS
WHEAT
The discussion highlights potential agricultural disruptions due to El Niño, which can significantly affect wheat supply.
CORN
Corn is also a staple crop that could be affected by agricultural disruptions from El Niño.
SOYBEANS
Soybeans are another key agricultural product that may face supply challenges due to the discussed El Niño effects.
GOLD
Increased food prices and inflation concerns can drive demand for gold as a safe-haven asset.
FULL
10:00–15:00
- The duration of the sea surface temperature anomaly will significantly influence the severity of the situation, with a longer duration potentially leading to more severe impacts.
- Sea surface temperatures may reach levels comparable to those seen in 1877, with peak anomalies expected to be in the upper twos.
- The current negative state of the Indian Ocean dipole could allow for a broader impact across Asia, similar to the conditions in 1877.
- High concentrations of Arabian Peninsula sand in the atmosphere could suppress moisture and further impact the monsoon season in India and China.
- While historical famines resulted in millions of deaths, modern infrastructure may mitigate the severity of food shortages, though high prices are still expected.
- Our interpretation: A similar El Niño event today could lead to significant agricultural disruptions, impacting food prices and inflation, which may in turn affect geopolitical stability and economic conditions across Asia and beyond.

FULL
15:00–20:00
- A strong El Niño combined with a neutral Indian Ocean dipole can lead to a very active Western Pacific typhoon season, which tends to draw moisture from Asia and transport it to the Arctic.
- If the Western typhoon season is very active, it could exacerbate moisture loss in Asia, potentially impacting agricultural outputs.
- Our interpretation: The interplay of these climatic factors could lead to substantial agricultural disruptions, influencing food prices and inflation, which may affect geopolitical stability and economic conditions across Asia and beyond.

- The job report released early in the morning significantly triggered market movements, contradicting earlier expectations of a weaker labor market.
- Substantial upward revisions to the previous month's job report have undermined the narrative of a weak labor market, impacting Federal Reserve policy considerations.
- The NASDAQ experienced one of its historically worst Fridays, rolling back to levels seen in mid to late May, indicating a shift in market momentum.
- The current market structure has changed, suggesting that momentum players, particularly CTAs, will struggle to buy from here, leading to a more selective market environment.
- The concept of a VaR shock is raised, indicating that some funds may need to reduce their risk exposure due to increased implied volatility following the job report.
- Our interpretation: The recent job report and its upward revisions signal a stronger labor market, which may lead to tighter monetary policy as the Federal Reserve faces pressure to adjust rates in response to rising inflation expectations. This could result in increased volatility in equities and a shift in investor sentiment towards more cautious risk-taking, particularly in growth sectors.

- Fundamental players might view current market conditions as an opportunity to buy the dip, influenced by the pricing of tokens and hardware.
- The job market is currently creating approximately 175,000 jobs per month, exceeding initial expectations and potentially leading to a drop in the unemployment rate.
- The leisure and hospitality sectors have shown improvement in job numbers, partly due to the upcoming World Cup, which may account for around 50,000 jobs this month.
- Kevin Warsh is under pressure to address inflation and job growth ahead of his press conference, making it unlikely for the Federal Reserve to maintain an easing bias in June.
- Our interpretation: The stronger-than-expected job growth and sector-specific improvements may compel the Federal Reserve to adopt a more hawkish stance, increasing market volatility and shifting investor sentiment towards caution.
