Stocks no likee:

What can I tell you?

  • runaway AI bubble;
  • inflation far too strong and Fed restive in the minutes;
  • X-date upon us with liquidity drain on deck, either way;
  • small bank credit crunch marching on;
  • Chinese L-shaped recovery in property the end for commodities, with no stimulus either, and
  • Europe headed into recession with a bullet.

That’s a lot of risk with very little pricing of it. Especially so, given markets are all positioned for a weak US versus a strong world.

Onwards and downwards for AUD.
