I trust bonds more than stocks to give us a sense as to what’s coming. It’s a massive market which usually sniffs out trouble far earlier than the bird-brained equity market, and, vastly more important to me, it isn’t subject to the political hucksterism of stocks.
The /ZB has benefited from the so-called “largely negotiated” peace talks, but it’s looking tired.

For a while, it seemed like a couple of electric vehicle companies had a real chance at carving out their own niche: Rivian (RIVN) and Nio (NIO), both of which were, in their own way, forming strong, long-term basing patterns. In the midst of this raging bull market, these patterns have both eroded away in such a way that the quality of the base has failed, and I suspect these will find their way in the same position as Lucid has: dead in the water.

It isn’t easy being green? Tell that to equities.
It’s clear that it doesn’t matter if there is a peace deal or not. A deal was announced for the 100th time on Saturday, soon to be followed by more bombing and finger-pointing, yet we’re green across the board. As long as the PROSPECT of a deal is at hand, instead of a real deal, the market keeps lumbering higher.
