Social Sentiment Thermometer
"The Fed is in an impossible position. Iran just attacked the US and oil is exploding. If they hike, they crush stocks. If they cut, inflation reignites. There's no good option."
— The Kobeissi Letter
"The liquidity tide is coming. Central banks are pivoting. Hard assets, crypto, commodities — the great rotation is in its early innings. Don't fight the central banks."
— Raoul Pal
"We're seeing the early stages of a geopolitical energy crisis layered on top of a late-cycle credit problem. This is the kind of setup that produces regime changes in markets."
