AI PCs accounted for 14% of all personal computers shipped in the second quarter with Apple leading the way – Reuters.
Here is a simple window into how far AI has to go until it can rival the human mind in trading. The section “Popular In Your Area” in a particular and massively visited site has the headlines “Ukrainian Forces Describe Rapid Offensive,” and “This Financial Firm’s Stock Dropped 50% Monday and Here is Why.”
I don’t live in Ukraine and I’m pretty sure that financial firm has offices on multiple continents, not just “near you.”
Its coming along though. Just a tool Quants are developing for now. Another 3 years or so.
US PPI softer than forecasts…
Yields down…dollar down…stocks up
I remember whebn PPI was largely ignored… not the case nowadays

Overnite Japanese stock players went nuts and it looks like carry trades are hot hot hot again ( tralalalaaah)

pundits to the right of me, pundits to the left of me
if I only had a roc …
–
08:30 – PPI (ahead of Wednesday’s CPI)
– Expectation : +0.2% plus a few other metrics
– Players are want oh so badly to see data to be increasing FED’s “confidence” about inflation rate’s trajectory
– ATM players are pricing a sept cut but 50%-er is currently an outlier.
– Pretty well all market components appear discombobulated: DLRx up tiny bit, bonds narrow ditto stocks
–
VIX 20.50 screams volatility, tension, anxiety (all good things in my optique)
DLRx 102.95 looks softish atm
Sup 102.90; Res 103.50
13:15 – bostic yaks – on economy
A look at the day ahead in U.S. and global markets from Mike Dolan
Much like Wall Street’s rapid healing on Friday, Japanese stocks completed their week-long, hair-raising round trip on Tuesday as Tokyo markets returned from holiday, wiped out the remainder of last week’s losses and nudged the yen lower.
Morning Bid: Market lull as PPI eyed, Nikkei returns to base
USDJPY 4 HOUR CHART – CONSOLIDATING
A case can be made for a 145-148 (or 146-148) consolidation range after the brief blip yesterday to 148.22 failed to follow through. A solid move above 148 would be needed to put 150 in play again.
If USDJPY settles into a range, then the cost of carrying a long JPY may become a factor.
Otherwise markets seem to be waiting for
Iran to attack
US CPI on Wednesday
Risk on start (stocks up)
GBPUSD tests 1.28 after UK jobs report
JPY trading softer (but USDJPY is still below 148)
EURUSD lagging on EURGBP dip
XAUUSD backing off after testing 2477 resistance (noted yesterday)
Markets seem to be betting on no Middle East escalation assuming Iran will launch its strike
US CPI on Wed is not expected to alter rate cut expectations barring a surprise
