Cross-current

02 / Structural
Geopolitics, energy, trade, AI funding, and credit — beyond one session.

Latest. FMP treasury snapshot: 10Y ~5.28% (as of 2026-10-02).
Rotation tells matter when indexes are quiet but internals disagree.
Latest. Basic Materials snapshot +0.00%.
Soft labor + cooler PCE lowered hike odds, but Brent near $102 and a 10Y that keeps reclaiming highs can re-tighten financial conditions without another hike.
Latest. Weekend pricing: ~78% chance Fed holds in late October. 10Y closed near year highs around 5.28% after erasing the post-NFP dip.
03 / Forward agenda
Duration still taxes valuations.
Energy remains the inflation wildcard.
