Dan Nathan and Guy Adami host a special Risk Reversal episode with guest Danny Moses to discuss the latest Fed meeting under Kevin Warsh, emphasizing peak hawkish messaging, reduced forward guidance (including questioning the dot plot), and the market’s feedback loop. They debate surging volatility and extreme AI/semiconductor valuations, highlighting Intel’s sharp rally on customer speculation and concerns about narrative-driven pricing, correlation risk, and potential CapEx pullbacks, with Micron’s upcoming earnings as a key test. The group also covers gold’s pullback, favoring gold miners like AEM, and argues energy could rebound despite recent weakness. They note consumer strain using Kroger’s warnings on rising costs and promotional shopping, alongside elevated delinquencies and credit card debt.

After the break, Dan speaks with CNBC’s Deirdre Bosa about SpaceX’s IPO, “vibe investing,” xAI’s compute strategy, the Cursor acquisition, AI token-cost pressures, and how export controls may accelerate adoption of Chinese open-source models like DeepSeek.
