This episode provides a detailed weekly wrap-up of major news and market movements for November 3-7, 2025, summarizing daily activities and key economic data points. It highlights that U.S. indices generally saw modest gains, primarily driven by strong performance in the tech and AI sectors, even as market breadth remained thin. A significant event covered was Michael Burry’s Scion Asset Management revealing substantial put-option bets against high-profile AI stocks, specifically NVDA and PLTR, indicating a bearish outlook on their continued rise. This podcast notes that the ongoing 2025 federal government shutdown severely limited official data releases, forcing market participants to rely on private surveys and corporate earnings for guidance amidst continued concerns about inflation and the Federal Reserve’s ambiguous policy signals regarding future rate cuts.
