In a significant market development, the 10-Year minus 3-Month Treasury Yield Curve has remained inverted for a historic 278 consecutive trading days, marking the longest inversion in financial history. The inversion has deepened recently, reaching its lowest point since August, adding to economic uncertainty.

Notably, Broadcom has emerged as a front-runner in the semiconductor industry, surpassing Nvidia and leading a remarkable melt-up. The stock has seen an extraordinary 27% increase with no down days, capturing attention in the market. Call volume today reached 400% of the average, indicating heightened investor interest and activity.

The current situation mirrors panic buying of cyclicals reminiscent of the early days of the pandemic. Previously, high beta experienced a collapse back to the 50-day moving average before a global rally fueled by mega-stimulus measures. However, this time, there’s no stimulus in play.
