About this episode

🚨 Fed Chair Warsh's Jackson Hole speech — delivered on his 100th day in office — moved rate-hike odds by 20% in just 30 minutes. That's the surprise nobody was pricing in.This week Nick & Ethan break down what's really happening under the hood of markets: light September volatility (📉 S&P -71bps, small caps -1.2%) opening up tax-loss harvesting windows, Nvidia's post-earnings 9% pop even as semiconductor peers like Applied Materials and Marvell slid, and why the VIX is still surprisingly calm at 16.42.Then it's into the research segment 🧠 — decoding "bear steepening" vs. "bear flattening," why the 30-year yield just hit its highest level since 2007, and why historically tight credit spreads pushed the team to trim high-yield exposure and upgrade credit quality across portfolios.💬 Comment below: Do you think the Fed hikes before the midterms — or waits?🔁 Enjoyed this?
