Markets underpriced for hawkish Fed surprise
The Fed cannot cut rates because the US economy is growing resiliently above trend and inflation is staying higher for longer. Markets are underpriced for this inflation overshoot and are oblivious to the risk that Chair Warsh will reduce forward guidance and the dot plot, creating a less dovish, Greenspan-style Fed. The ten-year yield below 4.50% does not reflect this hawkish risk.

SpaceX rally is hype-driven, risky
SpaceX's rally is driven by retail hype, not fundamentals. The start of options trading has attracted short-dated speculative bets expecting huge quick gains, which could act as a trigger for a share price drop. SpaceX's AI footprint is still small compared to hyperscalers and it is playing catch-up, making the valuation risky.

BMW faces sales decline and cost pain
BMW has slashed its profitability outlook and is deepening cost cuts due to worsening demand in China and negative sentiment from the Middle East war. Unlike competitors Mercedes and Porsche, which are managing better sales, BMW will see sales decline and will struggle in the months and foreseeable future, raising the risk of job cuts.
