Something weird is brewing, but what?

SAXOSTRATS
About this episode

Today, we run down some of the odd factors in this market that are keeping us on the edge of our seat that something weird, and possibly ominous, is brewing, if disguised by the wall of retail, passive and corporate buyback bids in this market. We also talk incoming earnings and strong reactions to those, macro and FX and today's latest batch of must reads and listens. Today's pod hosted by Saxo Global Head of Macro Strategy John J. Hardy.  

Links discussed on the podcast can be found on the John J. Hardy substack (with a one or two hour delay from the time of the podcast release).
