08/01/26 - US Markets Wrap: Gunboat Diplomacy Meets Market Complacency
U.S. markets slipped from fresh all-time highs this week, with financials and energy — two of 2026’s early winners — suddenly losing momentum. Beneath the day-to-day volatility, a bigger question is emerging: are markets being driven by fundamentals, or simply by liquidity? Alex Morris, CEO of F/m Investments, unpack why geopolitics barely registers for investors, whether markets are misreading the risks around inflation and a more political Federal Reserve, and why the much-debated AI “bubble” may still be in its early innings. We also dive into the less obvious inflationary pressures created by the AI build-out and what a “boring but smart” portfolio actually looks like as we head deeper into 2026.

We unpack what’s really driving markets to new highs - from blockbuster earnings and tax-driven stimulus to the Federal Reserve’s easing bias.
