Moonshot wrecks tech as all the stuff that’s "worked" YTD is going the wrong-way... 
**Tl;dr**: *A busy week of macro (**inflation inflected lower, growth steady, Warsh hawkish**), was dominated by various headline catalysts impacting market narratives: Peace-premium ( **endless escalation culminating with Iran attacking Kuwaiti water** and power plants in counterstrikes against the US), AI Spendaholics (China's 'low cost to build' **Kimi from Moonshot **crushes the 'expensive' American dream), & Semis to the Moon ( **Korean retail wakes up** to the downside of leverage). 
By the end of the week, stocks were down led by Nasdaq ( **Semis/Momo ugly**), bonds were bid (rate-hike odds tumbled) despite **oil's biggest week since war started**. 
The dollar and gold were weaker, **bitcoin managed to end unch**.

*China saved America's bacon (and its own) with its crude market stabilization, but is now exposing the flaws in a US economy driven almost entirely by current and anticipated (over)-spend on AI...
