Fiscal deficits decoupled from unemployment in 2016; pro-cyclical spending now keeps inflation structurally above target Interesting take from Simon White at Bloomberg Macro. He puts a precise date on when the fiscal regime broke: 2016, when budget deficits began meaningfully diverging from unemployment rates across the US, EU, UK and Japan. Before that, governments ran deficits when economies were weak and pulled back when they recovered. That relationship collapsed, and it hasn't come back. The chart shows fiscal deficit percentile minus unemployment percentile for a mean of the four major Western blocs across expanding periods. For the 40 years before 2016, that spread oscillated around zero. Since then it has stayed persistently elevated, meaning governments kept spending even as labor markets tightened. The pandemic turbocharged it further.

5% isn't 7% - Stocks are fine until they aren’t Historically, equities have actually handled the 5–6% yield bucket reasonably well. In months when the 10-year was between 5% and 6% and yields were rising, the S&P still returned an average 0.8%. At 6–7%, that falls to basically zero. Once yields were above 7% and rising, average monthly returns turned negative.

Historically, equities have actually handled the 5–6% yield bucket reasonably well.

In months when the 10-year was between 5% and 6% and yields were rising, the S&P still returned an average 0.8%.

At 6–7%, that falls to basically zero.

Once yields were above 7% and rising, average monthly returns turned negative.
AWS EC2 ML Capacity Block Prices Up ~15%, Fourth Consecutive Quarter Effective October 7, 2026, AWS implemented an approximate 15% rate increase on its EC2 Capacity Blocks for machine learning. That's the fourth consecutive quarterly price increase, and A100 instances are included in the hike for the first time since January. $AMZN

Goldman's heuristic is that equities can absorb a rates move until it reaches roughly two standard deviations in a month. We hit that level this past week.

Bessent downplays rising yields and AI bubble concerns U.S. Treasury Secretary Bessent said the recent rise in U.S. Treasury yields is consistent with a global trend and does not warrant overreaction. In an Axios interview Saturday he said he would be worried only by an idiosyncratic spike and that he has not seen flows selling U.S. Treasuries to buy Bunds or JGBs. He added he cannot control the bond market and can only urge market participants to pause and reassess. Bessent praised U.S. financial intervention in Argentina, said he is open to similar assistance in future, and called Argentina’s stabilization potentially generational for Latin America’s alignment with the U.S. He also dismissed concerns of an AI bubble, noting heavy investment from Microsoft, Google and Meta and marked revenue growth at Anthropic and OpenAI.

$200 billion of US data center projects blocked in H1, and ~90% of ERCOT connection requests are now data centers @GoldmanSachs’s Adam Wijaya flagged on Oct 1 that $200 billion of DC projects got blocked across the US in the first half, Texas being a main battleground. Over 600 DCs in the state, around 80 under construction, around 173 planned.

EU Semis vs software turns after almost 40% drawdown @OpenAI’s new Dots is the shift from chatbots to always-on agents in one product. More agents means more compute demand and more heat on incumbent software.

The Iran conflict resolution is embedded in the the options market. Oil skew is one-sided. In a normal crisis you'd expect both wings to bid: calls against another supply shock and puts against a sudden resolution. The market is only paying up for a resolution-driven collapse, not another oil spike. $USO $OVX
