Let's start with the headline nobody saw coming six months ago: $CRWV — a company with 550 employees in Livingston, NJ — just locked in a $21 billion deal with $META, bringing their total relationship to $35 billion through 2032. Bloomberg's stock movers coverage noted shares initially surged 7.5% before the market collectively shrugged and settled around a 1% gain. The excitement is real, but so is the risk: 67% of CoreWeave's revenue still comes from Microsoft, and the business model basically has three friends on speed dial. Concentration risk, anyone?
Meanwhile, the macro backdrop is a glorious mess. Mortgage rates finally caught a break — 30-year fixed dropped to 6.37% from 6.46%, the first dip since the US-Iran war kicked off in late February. Zillow's senior economist called a sustained move lower a meaningful catalyst for housing, which is economist-speak for 'people might actually buy homes again.' On the inflation front, Janus Henderson's Richard Bernstein is raising cash and warning of a 1970s-style inflation spiral, the IMF is scrapping a planned 0.1% growth upgrade and replacing it with three downside scenarios, and Wharton's Jeremy Siegel thinks the Fed's next move might be a rate hike. Cool, cool, totally fine.
The Strait of Hormuz remains the world's most expensive traffic jam — 800+ ships stuck, normal daily flow of 130+ vessels reduced to a trickle, and oil briefly spiking 8% above $102/barrel. YouTube's consensus: geopolitical tail risk is real, the ceasefire is fragile as a gas station sushi roll, and anyone sleeping on fixed income right now is making a mistake — JP Morgan's Bob Michael says bonds are underowned and credit spreads are attractive. The market is 2.5% from all-time highs. Fundstrat's Tom Lee says the bottom is in. Maybe he's right. Or maybe we're all just vibing until the next drone strike.
