“Data available to date suggest that the level of non-farm payrolls will be revised down materially.” On Sept 9, that’s exactly what happened: -911,000 jobs erased. ➡️ The question now is was this worse than he expected, and does it warrant a 25 or 50 bps cut? Source: StockMarket.news

Interesting point of view by Otavio Costa on the rise of global yields relative to us yields

He sees it as a real-time “Mar-a-Lago Accord" (i.e dollar devaluation). Here's why: "The strategy of letting global yields rise relative to US yields is central to weakening the dollar. What some see as a market shift might be a policy, a clear move toward dollar devaluation. The implications extend further, especially for emerging markets, which stand to benefit significantly from this environment". Your view? Source: Crescat Capital, Bloomberg

😨 As Oracle’s stock was soaring following the company’s earnings report on Tuesday, analysts were gushing about the numbers and the company’s prospects in artificial intelligence

➡️ John DiFucci from Guggenheim Securities said he was “blown away.” TD Cowen’s Derrick Wood called it a “momentous quarter.” And Brad Zelnick of Deutsche Bank said, “We’re all kind of in shock, in a very good way.” ➡️ That’s how the analysts opened their comments and questions during Oracle’s quarterly earnings call on Tuesday, as the company’s stock price was in the midst of a 28% after-hours rally. The software vendor had just reported an earnings and revenue miss, but nobody was paying attention to that. ➡️ Wall Street was singularly focused on Oracle’s forward-looking numbers and a massive growth trajectory that the company now sees thanks to its booming cloud infrastructure business and a host of new artificial intelligence deals. ➡️ “There’s no better evidence of a seismic shift happening in computing than these results that you just put up,” Zelnick said on the earnings call. ➡️ Oracle now sees cloud infrastructure revenue climbing to $144 billion over the next four years, up from $18 billion this fiscal year.
