OpenAI has reportedly hired over 100 former investment bankers from firms like Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan, and Morgan Stanley
“Project Mercury,” is a secret effort to train AI models to automate junior bankers’ grunt work. Participants are paid $150/hour to build financial models and write prompts for tasks like IPOs and restructurings, with the goal of teaching AI to replicate analysts’ workflows. Contractors submit one model per week and receive feedback before integration into OpenAI’s systems. Source: Wall St Engine @wallstengine

Gold is giving us a lesson in statistics. Yesterday's −5.7% move is a rare 4.46-sigma move.
In a “normal” world, that’s once every 240,000 trading days. In reality −4.67% to −6.00% occurred 34 times since 1971, i.e. in 13,088 trading days (0.26% = 1 in 385 days). Even bigger drawdowns happened 21 times since 1971. Message: Gold is NOT low-vol. FOMO caused the latest leg up. Now, profit taking and weak hands got shaken out. Means? Statistically speaking, chances are that calmer days are ahead. Source: Alexander Stahel 🌻@BurggrabenH on X
