Guy Adami and Danny Moses discuss rising global yields and stress points in markets, focusing on Japan’s weakening yen, deteriorating bond market, and risks around Japan’s role as a major US Treasury holder and potential carry-trade unwind, with BOJ and Fed meetings ahead. They note August’s tendency toward volatility and how attention may shift from strong earnings to macro concerns as AI-driven CapEx pressures free cash flow at hyperscalers, raising valuation questions and fears of open-source competition. They preview key earnings including Apple (seen as a defensive AI conduit despite a rich valuation), Microsoft, Meta, and major energy firms, which may post strong results but avoid political blowback. They discuss mixed consumer signals from Capital One, AmEx, and retailers, reiterate a constructive longer-term view on gold tied to Fed policy, and share updates on Moses’s podcasts, Substack work, and a veterans charity event.
