SOX is up roughly 18% since the June 9 low.

In just a few sessions, we have gone from the bottom of the range to the top, bouncing off the steep trend line despite briefly trading below the 21-day moving average. The moves have been absolutely brutal. For larger players, reshuffling big books in an environment like this is close to impossible. An 18% move in five sessions in the world's hottest theme is actually crazy when you stop and think about it. Chasing SOX after an 18% rally in five sessions feels a little late. Fading it feels dangerous. Source: TME

Companies have raised roughly $4.7tn across global equity, debt and bank loan markets this year, a record pace, according to data provider LSEG. That figure, up 7% YoY, does not include the spurt of activity in investment-grade private credit markets, which are increasingly being tapped to finance data centres, chips and power plants feeding the AI boom. That included a $35bn debt package cobbled together by Apollo and Blackstone this week for Anthropic. Source: FT, HolgerZ
