REIT player need to monitor the bond market closely and not rush to complete your position. The oil and inflation issues are still clear and present issues and chances for rate cut in the foreseeable future is basically out of the window.

When sentiments are bearish with so many narratives from oil to yields, etc., not putting a dent in the market while the bears keep blabbering, it reminds me that markets top on euphoria. Doesn’t look euphoric to me when there are so many bears around!

Lol. They called for an AI slowdown and signed another deal. Talk about actions speaking louder than words! And looking at how sentiments are in the basement yet markets are resilient seems to indicate the trend is up. We might get a dip into mid-October or November but it looks like a rally is in the making!

30 year Treasury Bill top 5.5%, has been long never seen this high since 2004. will Federal Reserve be going to hike the interest rate in the upcoming meeting?

The near-flat equity performance masks growing pressure from the bond market. The 30-year Treasury yield reaching 5.50% and expectations of another Fed hike indicate tighter financial conditions, particularly as higher oil prices could reinforce inflation concerns. The sharp rise in October hike expectations from around 53% to 77.5% increases the risk of further valuation pressure on rate-sensitive equities. However, the limited movement in major indices suggests investors have so far absorbed the higher-rate outlook without significant broad-market selling.

For me, the Anthropic-Akamai deal is another reminder that AI infrastructure spending is still expanding even as the cost of capital rises. I am still constructive on the long-term AI story, especially semiconductors and compute infrastructure, but I am becoming more selective about valuation and leverage. A 5.5% 30-year Treasury yield changes the opportunity cost significantly, so I would rather accumulate quality AI names gradually on pullbacks than chase a strong move after the headlines.

I am also watching PCE and the jobs report closely because higher-for-longer rates could create more volatility for growth stocks and REITs. I would not rush to make a major portfolio shift based on one rate move. My approach remains simple: keep some cash available, continue DCA into companies I understand, and use weakness to build positions instead of FOMO buying strength. AI demand can remain strong while multiples still compress, so I think both the growth story and the cost of money need to be respected.

Don't have to have knee jerk reaction to every piece of oil shock news. Just stick to your own long term plan and accumulate when the price of your desired stocks present itself.

Isn’t it amazing that the market keeps going up despite the uncertainty? It makes you wonder who’s buying and what is making them buy at these prices and conditions? Or do they know something we don’t? I rather be safe.
