Xi Will Return And Put His Foot On The Pedal To Develop Better Chips, Better Models, And The Energy To Drive That Compute

Xi Will Return And Put His Foot On The Pedal To Develop Better Chips, Better Models, And The Energy To Drive That Compute We came into this week with a list of things to think about with the Fed Behind Us , and a SITREP focusing on the Houthis vs Saudi Arabia . We also kicked off the week with a preview on CNBC. Our “official scoring” was stocks did well, Bessent faced setbacks on bonds and the yen, and for the world, well, not as much clarity as we could have hoped for. I was going to go with i instead of ? but √−1 seemed overly complex vs ? even if it is more reflective of the current complex state of the world! We weighed in on some possibilities in Let’s Make a Deal: NYC Style . We started off with a bang, with the Greenland deal and a pre-summit trade “status quo” extension, but finished the week with a lot of wasted opportunities. The confusing messaging with Ukraine and Russia (confusing on everything except a desire for diesel prices to go lower). The contradictory messaging with Iran: public threats, closed door meetings allegedly leading to a deal, the terms of which seemed to be rejected by the President on Friday after the close.

US, Iran Explore Deal to Reopen Hormuz, Saudi Oil Exports Hit War-Time High

US, Iran Explore Deal to Reopen Hormuz, Saudi Oil Exports Hit War-Time High The US and Iran are said to be exploring a phased deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz as diplomatic efforts gain momentum, though negotiations have broken down several times before. Oil turns lower and bonds stabilize, while Saudi crude shipments surge and the kingdom’s oil exports hit a war-time high above 5 million barrels a day, even as flows face risks from Hormuz and the Red Sea. Global bond markets remain under pressure, with the US 30-year yield reaching its highest level since 2004 as investors weigh rising yields and expectations for a potential Federal Reserve rate hike. Wall Street confronts a “new normal” of 5% yields, increasing pressure on consumers and companies. President Donald Trump and Xi Jinping tackle AI and Taiwan at their White House summit. Xi says the US and China should explore new ways to get along and can complement each other, while pushing Trump to oppose Taiwan independence. The leaders also discuss AI, as two pandas prepare to arrive at Atlanta Zoo.

Meet the Data Center Builders Behind A.I.’s Next IPO Wave

Sam Altman and Dario Amodei may cinch the most coveted magazine covers and even get a reluctant taste of Hollywood stardom—Amodei sat for interviews in a buzzy Sundance documentary this year, while Altman is about to be portrayed on screen by Andrew Garfield in Luca Guadagnino’s Artificial —but the defining financial drama of the era is playing out on ranchland, farmland and the floor of an Appalachian river valley, where data centers are built. The people running the largest data centers often don’t get the viral headlines. Now, three of them are weighing initial public offerings. Nscale, the London-based A.I. cloud company founded by Bitcoin miner Josh Payne two years ago, could go public in the U.S. as soon as this month . Vantage Data Centers, run by developer Sureel Choksi since 2013, is exploring an IPO or a sale as soon as next year that could value it at $100 billion, per Reuters . Tareq Amin, the CEO of Saudi Arabia’s state A.I. company, Humain, has reportedly hired an investor relations team for a dual listing in Riyadh and New York.

Gold slips as focus remains on Middle East, rate outlook

BondsInterest RatesInflation

Gold prices slipped on Monday as market participants assessed developments in the Middle East and their implications for inflation and interest rates. Spot gold fell 0.3% to $4,362.60 per ounce by 0417 GMT after hitting a one-week high on Friday. US gold futures were down 0.6% at $4,400.20. Iran and the United States exchanged new threats, with President Donald Trump warning Iran would fail economically or face its leadership being wiped out if it didn’t make a deal, and the Iranian military saying it would retaliate harshly to any fresh attack. “The focus remains on geopolitics, oil and the reaction in bond yields. For gold to gain meaningful upside traction, a clear move lower in oil and/or bond yields is likely required,” said Tim Waterer, chief market analyst at KCM Trade. “Gold may trade in a roughly $4,200 to $4,580 range in the near term.” Oil prices fell on hopes diplomacy in the Iran war will get a chance this week amid a UN meet and as investors eyed a partial recovery in shipments from Saudi Arabia despite ongoing attacks by Yemen’s Houthis.

Oil prices extend rally, rising more than 3% over supply concerns

London: Oil prices continued to surge on Monday, rising more than 3% after attacks on Saudi energy infrastructure and vessels in the Middle East heightened concerns over global supply. Brent crude futures rose $3.00, or 2.9%, to $107.61 a barrel by 1112 GMT, after earlier reaching an intraday high of $108.65. U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude gained $2.48, or 2.5%, to $102.53 a barrel. Oil prices climbed around 9% last week as tensions escalated across the Middle East. Brent rose above $100 a barrel for the first time since July and reached its highest level since May at around $110 a barrel. The latest gains come after Saudi Arabia's East-West Pipeline was temporarily shut down following a drone attack, according to Saudi officials. The pipeline allows the kingdom to bypass the Strait of Hormuz and transport exports to the Red Sea. The disruption threatens up to 4% of global oil supply. Industry sources said the Red Sea port of Yanbu has sufficient inventories to sustain exports for only five to seven days while the pipeline remains out of service.
