This episode provides a detailed week-in-review for the financial markets from November 10–14, 2025, focusing on market, economic, and policy developments. Early in the week, markets saw a strong rebound driven by tech stocks and optimism about a resolution to the ongoing U.S. government shutdown, which had been the longest in history. However, this initial enthusiasm was quickly curtailed mid-week when hawkish commentary from Federal Reserve officials increased concerns about persistent inflation and dampened expectations for a near-term interest rate cut. Throughout the period, the economic drag and data uncertainty caused by the shutdown persisted, and the overall market rally remained concentrated in a narrow group of technology and mega-cap companies, indicating underlying fragility.

This episode provides a detailed weekly wrap-up of major news and market movements for November 3-7, 2025, summarizing daily activities and key economic data points. It highlights that U.S. indices generally saw modest gains, primarily driven by strong performance in the tech and AI sectors, even as market breadth remained thin. A significant event covered was Michael Burry’s Scion Asset Management revealing substantial put-option bets against high-profile AI stocks, specifically NVDA and PLTR, indicating a bearish outlook on their continued rise. This podcast notes that the ongoing 2025 federal government shutdown severely limited official data releases, forcing market participants to rely on private surveys and corporate earnings for guidance amidst continued concerns about inflation and the Federal Reserve’s ambiguous policy signals regarding future rate cuts.
