Strange brew: big megacap sell-off, stark divergences and lower VIX.

Today, we look an even odder equity market session yesterday in the US than the prior day's session, as it featured another spike higher in value and small cap indices, while the broader market was mixed and megacap names, and particularly AI names, suffered a steep sell-off. This on a day that saw the VIX posting a new post-pandemic cycle low. In commodities, we focus on gold on the defensive after another central bank, this time the Bank of Canada, surprised hawkish. We also check in on natural gas, discuss diverging forward expectations curves for many central banks, note key stocks to watch, including a sudden jolt lower in Amazon, and more. Today's pod features Peter Garnry on equities, Ole Hansen on commodities and John J. Hardy hosting and on FX.
