The biggest shift today is simple: markets are being forced to price more real-world friction. That means legal risk in AI, physical bottlenecks in energy and semis, and a Fed that still sounds willing to tighten into all of it.

• Apple sues OpenAI

• Musk and Altman escalate

• Oil spike and Hormuz risk

• Refining margins tighten fuel markets

• Fed turns more hawkish

• Earnings strength with financing risk

• Hyperscaler spend, semis, and memory volatility

• Power constraints are now the bottleneck

• Rotation, yields, and balance sheet stress

• Other developments to track
