Samsung rallies on Anthropic chip deal.
Samsung Electronics is leading gains on the back of reports that Anthropic is in talks to manufacture custom AI chips with the company, providing a positive catalyst after two days of heavy selling.

Fed will cut rates, buy Treasuries.
Morgan Stanley expects the Federal Reserve to cut rates next year, contrary to market pricing of a hike in December, because inflation is moving in the right direction and the labor market is stable. This supports a bullish view on U.S. Treasuries as yields decline.

Oil heading for oversupply, short crude.
Global oil markets are on track for a general oversupply in the next few years, driven by OPEC overproduction, new supply from Latin America and the US, and slowing demand. The Iran war temporarily paused this trend, and a durable peace deal could unleash the oversupply, pressuring prices.

AI compute demand robust, buy semiconductors.
The market is wrong to worry about AI compute demand. Demand for AI compute, especially for 2026, is going to be incredibly robust, as evidenced by Micron's report and strong pricing for AI chips sold to Anthropic and Google. This supports semiconductor stocks.
