About this Episode
On Wednesday, March 25, Brian Szytel reports markets finished higher for the first time in a week, with the Dow up 305 points, the S&P 500 up 0.5%, and the Nasdaq up just over 0.7%, while yields and oil fell (10-year down about five basis points to 4.33; Brent down a few percent). He attributes the move to renewed U.S. rhetoric about a 15-point proposal to Iran aimed at de-escalation, followed by Iranian media calling it illogical, framing this as typical negotiation as a U.S. offer window nears expiration. He notes equities are only about 5–6% off highs and credit spreads have not moved much. He shifts to concerns about AI-driven market concentration, heavy AI venture capital exposure, and unresolved ROI. He explains how information gets “priced in” via many participants and probabilities, and cites hotter-than-expected February import (1.3%) and export (1.5%) prices.
