Market themes

The durable narratives under the weekly moves—and the conditions that would invalidate them.

01

Lower-yield AI rebound

Weak payrolls pulled yields lower and revived demand for long-duration growth. This remains constructive only while inflation allows the rate repricing to hold.

Conviction
5/5
Risk: hotter CPI reverses yields
02

Proof-of-monetization AI

Investors are separating companies with visible revenue, backlog and guidance from those relying mainly on future AI potential.

Conviction
5/5
Risk: capex outruns free cash flow
03

Space goes mainstream

Direct public exposure raises visibility across launch, satellite connectivity, defense technology and infrastructure peers.

Conviction
4/5
Risk: capital intensity + execution
