April 23 AI picks & shovels rocket higher. If only they could open the Hormuz Strait.
Today, a look at a concentrated market rally in the US yesterday, led by big picks and shovels names in AI, with GE Vernova leading the pack, even as market breadth was flat and risk sentiment is wobbly elsewhere on Iran continuing to obstruct shipping through the Hormuz Strait. Software-as-a-service names were under pressure after the US market close yesterday on ServiceNow reported earnings, the first major SaaS name to do so for this earnings cycle. Also, Tesla earnings, macro and FX and more also on today's pod, which is hosted by Saxo Global Head of Macro Strategy John J. Hardy.
Luke Gromen was on Macrovoices last week and makes some key points on the risks to the global economy and markets if this Hormuz Strait crisis drags into summer.

April 13 Blockading the Hormuz Strait blockade: how does this work, exactly?
Today, we look at the fresh pain for global markets on the collapse of US-Iran talks this weekend and the new US intent to blockade the Hormuz Strait, at least for any ships that are paying tolls to Iran (and presumably any Iranian ship?).

Elsewhere, we look at the latest winners and losers in the US equity market as Anthropic continues to make enormous waves for software and other companies.
