AI capex surge makes big tech vulnerable.

Big Tech companies heavily exposed to AI (Google, Microsoft, Tesla) are being penalized by the market because their massive capex spending on data centers, infrastructure, and hardware is consuming cash, leading to negative free cash flow (Google's first ever), rising debt-like commitments, and uncertain returns on investment. The market is repricing the risk of this spending spree.

Middle East conflict lifts oil prices.

Middle East tensions and continued attacks between the US and Iran show no sign of ending, pushing crude oil prices back above key levels and driving up inflation expectations as well as global yields.

Brazil fiscal deterioration pushes bond yields higher.

Brazil's fiscal situation remains untackled, with the government insisting on policies that worsen the imbalance. As a result, long-dated inflation-linked bonds (NTN-B) have seen yields rise above 8%, and without concrete fiscal adjustment, these yields will continue to climb or stay elevated, making the bonds unattractive.

Argentina reforms improve credit and asset outlook.

Argentina is on the right track: Moody's upgraded its credit rating with a positive outlook, and the Milei government is pushing structural reforms including a new Central Bank charter to prohibit monetary financing of the fiscal deficit. This improves the investment case for Argentine assets.

Copper supply-demand imbalance lifts prices.

Copper may face scarcity due to a supply-demand mismatch driven by the boom in AI and critical minerals demand. When supply falls short, prices tend to rise, supporting a bullish copper thesis.

OBTC3 trades at discount to net assets.

OBTC3 (Orange BTC) is trading at a discount to its net asset value, making it a great opportunity. Although he is not adding to his position now because he is already heavily invested, he considers it undervalued.
