This week's episode covers the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz and explores how global markets, including crypto markets, may be reacting to shifts in risk sentiment and energy dynamics. We also dive into Allbirds' recent surge, as much as 600% in a single day, as it pivots toward an AI-driven strategy, raising questions around narrative-driven rallies.

We also examine Objection AI, a Peter Thiel-backed startup aiming to adjudicate truth in journalism using AI; Factory's $150 million raise at a $1.5 billion valuation to scale AI agents for engineering teams; and Oracle and Amazon Web Services' deepening partnership for multicloud architecture and interoperability.

Finally, in our Chart of the Week, we zoom out to assess a meaningful week for tech and AI equities, with potential standout performance from Microsoft, AMD, and Oracle.
