In a new Bloomberg interview, Jim Caron, CIO of the Portfolio Solutions Group at Morgan Stanley Investment Management, says the market’s reaction to the oil price shock is very much expected. But Caron warns that the price shock could evolve into a deeper economic concern. “I think it’s important that we frame this in the right way right now because I think the way markets are thinking is they’re really thinking about it as…

The CEO of DoubleLine Capital says a global shift in capital flows is happening right now, obscured by the onslaught of headlines about hostilities in the Middle East. In a new interview with Julia La Roche, billionaire bond king Jeffrey Gundlach says US equities are now trading at a steep premium relative to the rest of the world. “The United States versus all the rest of the world stock market, excluding the United States, used to be at the same price-to-book ratio about 15-20 years ago. And now the price-to-book on the S&P 500 is more than double the price-to-book…
Banking giant Citi believes equities could witness more downside price action, even though the S&P 500 is already down over 7% so far this year. In a new CNBC interview, Scott Chronert, Citi’s US equity strategist, says the equity correction lacks key signals that typically mark a bottom. According to Chronert, investors appear to be buying and selling based on the latest developments around oil and hostilities in the Middle East. “You haven’t had that classic, classic flush where you see a major spike in volatility. You see a lot of volume that kind of points to hedging activity. This…
Billionaire Chamath Palihapitiya says consumer behavior may already be locking in long-term winners in the AI race. In a new episode of the All-In Podcast, Palihapitiya says usage patterns inside households and companies are beginning to split the AI market into distinct segments. He points to strong consumer stickiness around OpenAI’s flagship product. “I think that OpenAI has incredible consumer mindshare. I just see how my kids use it. They started there, and it’s very hard to get them to switch. Even when I say, ‘Hey, have you tried Gemini?’ They use Gemini, and the reason is because they stumble…
Apple is reportedly gearing up for a major shift that could redefine how AI works on the iPhone. The company plans to open Siri to third-party AI assistants as part of an overhaul tied to its upcoming iOS 27 update, Bloomberg reports, citing people familiar with the matter. OpenAI’s ChatGPT has been integrated into Siri since the launch of Apple Intelligence in 2024, and the update will enable the voice assistant to tap into rival AI assistants through the new Extensions system.

A new internal research preview suggests a major leap in artificial intelligence capability is already underway. Leaked documents describe a model called Claude Mythos as the most powerful system ever developed by Anthropic, signaling a potential step change in performance across multiple domains. The model is positioned as a new tier beyond the company’s previous flagship systems. “Mythos is a new name for a new tier of model: larger and more intelligent than our Opus models—which were, until now, our most powerful.” The documents indicate that performance gains extend across technical and reasoning-heavy tasks. “Compared to our previous best model,…
A major Wall Street bank is betting that a shift in revenue mix could unlock higher valuations for Alphabet (GOOGL). In a new CNBC interview, Wells Fargo Securities senior internet analyst Ken Gawrelski believes that Google may be entering a new phase driven by artificial intelligence monetization. Gawrelski thinks Google’s AI spend is peaking just as its free cash flow recovers with the help of AI-driven revenue streams. “You’ve seen meaningful upward revisions in CapEx the last four or five quarters, with a lack of upward revenue revision. And so that means free cash flow has been cut pretty meaningfully.…
Goldman Sachs says a traditional 60/40 portfolio may no longer be sufficient in a market shaped by artificial intelligence and persistent inflation risks. In a new report titled “How the Iran War Is Impacting Investment Portfolios,” Goldman Sachs outlines a structural shift in how investors should allocate capital over the next decade. According to the bank, the ideal mix of assets in a portfolio should balance growth, protection and stability. “Our rule of thumb for optimal portfolio construction in the next decade is one-third of assets exposed to innovation, one-third protecting against inflation and one-third for risk mitigation.” For the first…
“Big Short” investor Michael Burry believes that government policy is the root cause of scarcity in the US housing market. In a new post on X, the investor says the structural problem in US housing is not supply, but how existing housing is being used and circulated. Burry says the issue is a mismatch between available space and how people occupy it, stemming from behavioral changes sparked by the ultra-low interest rate environment at the height of the pandemic. “We studied housing square footage per capita adequacy, and found that there is no problem there. The US, in fact, has…
The head of technical strategy at Fundstrat believes that it is likely not yet the time for investors to enter the market, as the S&P 500 continues to flash signs of weakness. In a new interview with Jimmy Connor, Mark Newton says he expects the S&P 500 to hit a new all-time high this year at 7,300. But Newton warns that the rally en route to record levels could be preceded by a deep corrective move. “And my target for the S&P for the year is 7,300. But I discussed with clients that I thought there could be a 15%…
