Final note
A bearish week, but nothing that merits any hysteria, as the bigger monthly charts remain bullish.
The coming week will see a rate hike, something that has been a pretty obvious call for many months. There are still a few in the mainstream who are in denial of course. After all, all they really care about is that the printers are spinning (they currently are... at $40bn a month), and low/zero/negative rates.
I see that the Anthropic IPO has apparently now been scheduled for late October. Mr Market will be inherently inclined to protect this AI monster, and I wonder if we'll see net upside into it.
In any case... summer is set to end in around ten days.
Not all will make it to the flip side of winter 2026/27.
