My last piece on fixed income markets (where I talk about G4 rates) is out. I talked of sensitivity of the front end to oil and of the future path of central bank. How the long tenor are (some cases) less sensitive to that and talked about my tactical views and trade about that

From backwardation (too low oil) to contango (too much oil) in just a couple of months. The greatest oil shock since 1970 flipped now?
CHART OF THE DAY: What goes into backwardation, can go into contango. The time spreads of some key Middle Eastern crude grades have collapsed. Murban from UAE is now in contago, even before Hormuz formally re-opens with the signing of the deal, scheduled for Friday.

Crypto and NASDAQ in free fall As I was trying to warn that mega IPOs and equity issuances are in fact liquidity drain events.
If you were not afraid by high hyperscaler capex (and negative FCF) the now: - record IPO (SpaceX, Anthropic, OpenAI) - record secondary equity rising (80bln) should!
