Financial Markets | November 3
Capital is flowing out of tech giants, but not out of the entire market!
Conclusion
Government bonds have partially stabilized, but the cost of capital remains high. Stress has shifted to corporate credit, especially AI infrastructure. Oil is now an additional macroeconomic constraint.
Three conditions are necessary for a sustained recovery: a decline in the geopolitical premium on oil, stabilization of corporate debt, and buyers returning to tech stocks.
A deal with Iran removes the oil premium, lowers the chance of a rate hike on 9.12, and triggers short covering in stocks and metals.
A breakdown sends Brent back to 115+ and triggers CTA selling in the S&P below 7 450.
