Let's set the scene: CPI up 0.9% in March (the biggest monthly jump in nearly four years), the Strait of Hormuz running at about nine ships per day, gasoline up 18.9%, and University of Michigan consumer sentiment hitting its lowest reading ever. Bloomberg, CNBC, Fundstrat — they're all pointing at the same ugly picture. The Fed is stuck. No cuts coming. Maybe hikes. Fun times.
On the winners' podium: $INTC roared +24% on deals with Tesla, SpaceX, xAI, and Google — its biggest weekly gain since 2000. $CRWV popped +14% after landing Anthropic as a client, meaning CoreWeave now powers all four of the largest AI model makers. Meanwhile, $FICO got absolutely cooked, falling 15%, and Fundstrat's Mark Newton is eyeing a worst-case S&P dip to 6,200 before a summer recovery. KBW's Chris McGratty says big banks are the play heading into earnings — 'bigger is better' isn't just a slogan, it's apparently a permanent structural shift now.
The wildcard everyone's watching: Anthropic's 'Mythos' AI model found decade-old vulnerabilities in every major OS and browser, spooked Powell and Bessent enough to summon bank CEOs to Treasury HQ, and somehow also became the centerpiece of an OpenAI shade-throwing memo. The AI Cold War has officially arrived — and it's giving systemic risk, not just startup drama.
