  Stocks Were Green. Then the Pros Started Selling.

  Sep 30, 202644 min

  September 30, 2026 — Stocks spent much of the day higher before selling off sharply into the close. Zach Abraham explains why he pays particular attention to the final stretch of trading — when institutional activity becomes more dominant — and why today’s reversal stood out against a backdrop of rapidly rising interest rates. Zach breaks down why the speed of the move in Treasury yields matters, why higher borrowing costs and energy prices remain a difficult combination for businesses, and why he remains cautious even while major stock indexes continue trading near their highs. He also discusses market breadth, Apple and the mega-cap trade, precious metals, energy and what he’s watching as markets head into October.

  Higher Rates Are Already Doing Damage. Stocks Haven’t Reacted Yet

  Sep 29, 202641 min

  September 29, 2026 — Interest rates have moved sharply higher, but the stock market still appears remarkably calm. Zach Abraham argues that underneath the headline indexes, the damage from higher borrowing costs is already showing up. Zach breaks down why higher rates matter far beyond the bond market — from housing and commercial real estate to refinancing costs, private equity, private credit and corporate cash flows. His concern isn’t that every one of those areas is about to collapse. It’s that higher financing costs mechanically reduce asset values and put pressure on businesses even when the stock market doesn’t immediately reflect it. He also discusses weak market breadth, volatility, precious metals, energy and why he believes today’s markets may be taking much longer than usual to incorporate major changes in the macro environment.

  Why the AI Winners May Not Be Big Tech

  Sep 28, 202635 min

  September 28, 2026 — Big Tech is pouring extraordinary amounts of capital into artificial intelligence. But does spending the most money mean capturing the most value?Zach Abraham looks at the AI boom through a different lens after a conversation with the founder of a fast-growing AI startup. Zach argues that smaller, more focused companies may have advantages the hyperscalers don't: greater agility, clearer economics, products built directly around consumer needs, and dramatically less capital required to reach profitability.The founder shared private growth projections with Zach that he uses as one data point — not proof — in his broader argument that the eventual winners in AI may look very different from the companies currently spending the most money. Zach explicitly describes the startup example as only one piece of evidence and says his view could change as new information emerges.Zach also breaks down the continued surge in Treasury yields, weakness in gold and precious metals, the dollar, oil markets, and the latest developments surrounding the Strait.

  Stocks Stayed Flat as Bond Yields Exploded. Something Doesn't Add Up

  Sep 24, 202637 min

  September 24, 2026 — Stocks finished roughly flat even as Treasury yields surged, oil climbed and the dollar strengthened. Zach Abraham breaks down one of the strangest market sessions he's seen lately — and explains why he puts more weight on the bond market when stocks and bonds start telling completely different stories. Zach examines why equity markets appeared willing to look through worsening macro conditions, what today's moves may say about expectations surrounding the Middle East, and why weak market breadth continues to concern him even when the headline indexes look resilient. He also discusses Meta's continued strength, why he's putting much of Big Tech in the “too hard” pile, opportunities he's finding in energy and precious metals, and a speculative setup developing in natural gas.

  The Market Took a Week to React to the Fed

  Sep 23, 202648 min

  September 23, 2026 — The Federal Reserve raised rates last week, but some of the biggest market reactions may only now be showing up. The 10-year Treasury yield surged above 5.1% today to its highest level since 2007 as stocks moved lower. Zach Abraham explains why he believes markets have become slower and stranger at digesting major Fed decisions — often producing an initial reaction, settling down, and then making the more consequential move days later. He breaks down the jump in Treasury yields, the strengthening dollar, what those moves could mean for equities, and why he thinks investors should be cautious about trusting the first market reaction to major policy news. Zach also discusses oil-market volatility, the debate around a potential U.S. export restriction, international markets, precious metals, and the possibility that increasingly extreme monetary-policy ideas become part of the conversation if financial stress rises.
