01

Jensen Huang resigned as Nvidia CEO effective immediately, with CFO Colette Kress as interim CEO and Harvey C. Jones as the first-ever board chair

Nvidia's board said Huang resigned as president, CEO and director; Kress keeps the CFO role while serving as interim CEO, and the board will consider internal and external candidates for a permanent CEO. Bernstein cut Nvidia to Market Perform with a $200 target, down from $400, and Evercore ISI moved to In Line with a $186 target, per @DeItaone, while Mizuho, UBS, Raymond James and Piper Sandler reiterated positive ratings.

02

Brent rose 1% and European gas as much as 5.2% after Trump said the US does not need a deal with Iran

President Trump said the US does not need a deal with Iran and that those days have long since passed, and oil erased its earlier loss, per @zerohedge. Brent extended its gain to 1% and European gas rose as much as 5.2% after the comments, per @FirstSquawk. On r/energy, one author argues freight has gone from 3-5% to 25-30% of delivered oil cost and pitches Heidmar.

Morgan Stanley counts $646 billion of AI-related debt issuance, and Sixth Street's CEO says about $200 billion of chips sit in warehouses awaiting data centers

Per @pequityresearch, Morgan Stanley puts AI-related debt issuance across global credit markets at $646 billion, with around 50% of hyperscaler debt maturing beyond 10 years. Sixth Street CEO Alex Waxman says about $200 billion of chips sit in warehouses because data centers are not ready, and that such inventory buildup may cause a dislocation in AI spend. Mohamed El-Erian calls weak housing data consistent with his view that AI-related borrowing pushes rates higher.

04

Spot gold fell 3% to $3,866 an ounce while Rooster Global told readers without gold to buy at $3,957

Spot gold extended losses to $3,866.08 an ounce, down 3%, per @DeItaone. @au_xbt said it was confident in a gold short with oil prices and the dollar rising, and expects new lows. On the other side, Rudy & Rooster of Rooster Global Portfolio Mastery Club called $3,957 a bottom and told readers without gold to buy; another post says the author feels like selling all their gold and silver but is buying more.
