📸Flashback to 2006. Fed stops hiking 7.2006. US inflation goes back to target 10.2006 (1.3%). LT yields follow. Oil bottoms 1.2007 ($50) and inflect higher. Inflation is back. Fed cuts rates in 8.2007. Market tops 10.2007. Oil/inflation go bananas til 7.2008. Then the collapse.

🇺🇸🇨🇳 Chinese #PPI leads US #PCE YoY, which leads #Fed funds rates. A YoY impulse in Chinese PPI has been followed by a rate hike by the Fed in recent years. Are we entering a new inflation wave, not only for Chinese-manufactured products but also for agricultural products & food?

$NAHB index at 29 suggests we are in 9.2006. If we are entering a RE bear market (as suggested by oversupply + rates), bottom was a reading of 8 in 2.2009. 2.5y of pain still ahead? Bull case is yields top, refinancing triggers, and housing market slowly turns. $BLDR $RKT
Trying to buy & call a trough is one of the hardest things to do, but there are plenty of historically ‘cheap’ names out there that are arguably trading on trough earnings, and the data certainly isn’t going to look great when you’re supposed to be buying.

$URG #uranium play supplying $CEG started production in 2012. Sold 500-800klbs/y in 2014-2016 (traded >1usd), 300klbs/y 2017-2018, then 100klbs/y in 2023 and 260-370klbs/y in 2024-2025, with 600klbs planned for 2026 ramping up to 2Mlbs in 2028. Costs around 50usd/lb. Price disconnect from between UX spot and stock price: directional movements are replicated, but not amplitude. Traded at 1.5usd/share when UX was 50usd, is now trading at 0.8usd a share with UX at 90usd.

♾ Are US #uranium miners one of the most asymmetric trades in the market currently? $CEG signed LT PPAs with the full Mag7 ($MSFT/ $META starting 2027, $GOOG starting 2028, $AMZN starting 2030+), and they buy uranium from $UUUU (ramping up to 2Mlbl/y in 2026) and $URG (ramping up to 2Mlbl/y in 2028).

US Consumer confidence plunging at ATL while saving rates are plunging, while real disposable personal income is flat MoM, while Daily linkUp job opening are plunging. Is the tape starting to get much worse under the surface? teapaw.org/GoldForecast/status/21…

Replying to @Biohazard3737
10Y 5%, horrific sentiment on duration, everyone saying it’s all fiscal & debt issues (had zero to do with that), moment oil topped, 10Y followed shortly after, some attribution to Yellen sure (probably see same with Bessent in November @ QRA) but a lot had to do with oil; & then a big rotation into year-end on the notion of all the stimulative measures from just oil down / bonds up and dollar up as hikes get priced out

$MSFT $AAPL $AMZN $GOOG $ORCL #AI tokens are at the moment mainly automating coding, writing/editing, research, and back-office tasks. This is likely to drive more apps running in clouds, more content across geographies, more research done, and less manual corporate tasks.

🇺🇸 Increasing #disposable personal income MoM and highest #NFIB #hiring plans reading since 10.2022 is *not* deflationary. #Rate #hikes could be on the table later this year/next year. In 2021/2022, it took 1Y before the #Fed acted on #PCE inflation, letting it run to 7%. Now 4%.

$ALGR.v $ALGR.NE Map of holes being currently drilled as well as hole AG-GC-002 from drilling phase I. AG_CG_PH2_002 is 200m away west from AG-GC-002 and encountered new Cu #copper mineralization over 30m. Current resource is located within 300m NW-SE, so AG_CG_PH2_002 may extend that.

🇺🇸 $MSFT likely reporting a negative free cash flow next quarter on Wed 29 as AI capex tick up to 48b/q. $MSFT reports only the share of #openai P&L to its eps, contrary to $GOOG that reports the change in fair value.

$MSFT Capex only at 41b in Q2 and insane cash from operations at 55b (vs 43b last year), hence still FCF>0... 2026 Capex guidance at 190b means 59b/q for q3 and q4.

US #diesel price increase 30% and European diesel price increased 10%, those increases are likely permanent, meaning they will transfer downward in the supply chain.
