AI comment — why bearish

BOK Financial strategist Steve Wyett's perspective on inflation and interest rates suggests a prolonged period of elevated price pressures, potentially necessitating a more hawkish stance from central banks than currently priced in. This outlook could cast a shadow over broader market valuations, as higher borrowing costs tend to dampen corporate earnings growth and reduce the present value of future cash flows. Consequently, market sentiment may shift towards caution, with investors recalibrating their risk appetite and seeking safer havens. The persistent inflation narrative directly connects to macro themes of supply chain disruptions and labor market tightness, reinforcing concerns about economic resilience. Such an environment can erode investor confidence, making them less inclined to embrace speculative assets and more focused on capital preservation, thereby influencing the overall demand for riskier investments.

Meta Releases Muse Glimmer, A 30B Model That Runs On A Single Consumer GPU

Meta Releases Muse Glimmer, A 30B Model That Runs On A Single Consumer GPU Meta released Muse Glimmer on Monday, a 30-billion-parameter model built for agent work that fits on a laptop. The company published the model's weights - the trained numbers that make up the model itself, meaning anyone can download it and run it on their own machine - on the model repository Hugging Face, under an Apache 2.0 license that is genuinely permissive, without the usage restrictions Meta attached to its Llama releases.

Give Them An Inch...

Give Them An Inch... By Bas van Geffen, senior macro strategist at Rabobank Talks between Iran and Oman on the reopening of Hormuz are reportedly inching ahead, as Iran continues to give the US the silent treatment. Negotiators said that a deal to establish a safe shipping route was close, but Iran may now be exploring just how much it can extract from the US in return. Last week, Iran had already said that any deal with Oman would be contingent on the US lifting its blockade of Iranian ports. On Friday, a US official told Reuters that the administration agreed to this. The US blockade would end once a deal is announced that “restores commercial shipping without impediments.” But give them an inch and they’ll take a mile. Tehran added new demands over the weekend, saying that the Strait of Hormuz will not reopen unless the US meets “a number of requirements.” These demands largely seem to refer to the original memorandum of understanding. Iran’s additional demands include the US ending all hostilities and withdrawing its troops from the area. Iran also wants Washington to pay billions in war damages and lift sanctions on the country. Or do the additional demands reflect division between Iranian camps, and varying levels of distrust of the US? The strait remains a key point of geopolitical leverage – at least until planned alternatives for oil exports are all fully operational. Meanwhile, the US president appears to be divided on the war as well. The Wall Street Journal reported this weekend that Trump had been willing to walk away without any agreement on Iran’s nuclear programme

Boeing Sells Flying-Taxi Venture To Rival Archer Aviation, Takes Near 20% Stake

Boeing Sells Flying-Taxi Venture To Rival Archer Aviation, Takes Near 20% Stake Archer Aviation shares surged in premarket trading after The Wall Street Journal reported that Boeing had agreed to take a nearly 20% stake in the eVTOL startup as part of a deal that transfers control of its autonomous flying-taxi venture, Wisk Aero, to Archer. Archer will acquire Wisk, air-traffic software provider SkyGrid, and drone manufacturer Insitu. The 737 maker will receive warrants, gain the right to nominate a director to Archer's board, and retain access to Wisk's autonomous-flight technology. The transaction is expected to close later this year. Brian Yutko, Boeing's vice president of Commercial Airplanes product development, told CNBC that the deal "allows Wisk, SkyGrid and Insitu to accelerate capability development and time to market while ensuring Boeing capitalizes on its investments in these technologies over the past two decades through continued development in our core businesses." For Boeing, the transaction marks another divestiture under CEO Kelly Ortberg as the planemaker focuses on strengthening its core commercial-aircraft and defense businesses. Boeing previously invested $450 million in Wisk and has spent more than a decade developing its autonomous electric-flight technology. For Archer, the deal strengthens its position in developing eVTOLs and the networks needed to support them. Insitu also

Intel Selling $15 Billion In Stock To Fund AI Boom

Intel Selling $15 Billion In Stock To Fund AI Boom With AI capital expenditures exploding to $1 trillion this year, the financing mix is beginning to shift from free cash flow and debt toward equity. Among the megacap hyperscalers, Alphabet has been the most aggressive in tapping the equity market (read report), while Microsoft, Amazon, and Meta continue to rely primarily on cash flow, debt, leases, and structured financing. Intel is set to join the broader AI infrastructure complex in tapping equity markets, announcing in a press release Monday morning that it plans a $15 billion underwritten public offering of common stock to bolster its balance sheet and help fund investments across AI compute, custom silicon, advanced packaging, external foundry services, and the emerging physical-AI economy. More color: Intel intends to use the net proceeds from the offering for general corporate purposes, which may include, but are not limited to, capital expenditures and working capital. The offering is intended to further enable Intel to pursue the growth opportunities ahead while maintaining a strong balance sheet and its commitment to an investment-grade rating.  Worth noting: An underwritten public offering is not the same as an ATM program that allows shares to be sold "from time to time." Today's announcement is merely a proposed offering, but the shares have not yet be
