Inflation Cools as AI Fears Shake Markets Feb 13, 2026

Show notes

Markets closed out the week balancing cooler inflation against renewed volatility in tech and AI.

U.S. CPI rose 2.4% year-over-year in January, with core inflation falling to 2.5% — the lowest level since March 2021. While the report strengthens the case for potential Fed rate cuts, it follows a robust labor market update earlier in the week, keeping policy expectations finely balanced.

Equities struggled, with the Nasdaq dropping 2% amid fresh AI disruption fears despite Anthropic raising $30 billion at a $380 billion valuation. Meanwhile, China posted a record $242 billion current account surplus in Q4 2025, highlighting export resilience despite weak domestic demand.

Oil slipped on reports that OPEC+ may resume production increases in April. Gold rebounded after briefly falling below $5,000 per ounce. The yen is on track for its strongest week in a year versus the dollar.

In crypto, Bitcoin remains stable week-over-week. Coinbase shares rose despite a Q4 earnings miss, even as reports surfaced that CEO Brian Armstrong has sold roughly $500 million in stock over the past nine months. Several crypto CEOs, including leaders from Ripple, Gemini, Uniswap, and Chainlink, have joined the CFTC advisory group.

A volatile week wraps with inflation cooling — but crosscurrents in AI, geopolitics, and liquidity remain firmly in play.

Global Stocks Near Records as BlackRock Enters DeFi Feb 12, 2026

Show notes

Global markets are leaning into growth.

Following the upside surprise in U.S. non-farm payrolls — with 130,000 jobs added and unemployment falling to 4.3% — investors are focusing on economic resilience rather than fading hopes of aggressive rate cuts. MSCI’s All-World index is trading near record highs, while South Korea’s Kospi has crossed 5,500 for the first time.

Attention now turns to initial jobless claims and the upcoming CPI print, which could shape expectations for the Federal Reserve’s June decision. CME FedWatch odds for a rate hold have climbed to 40%.

In the UK, GDP expanded just 0.1% in Q4, while industrial production fell unexpectedly. Meanwhile, Nuveen has agreed to acquire asset manager Schroders for $13.5 billion.

In digital assets, crypto markets remain steady despite Blockfills halting withdrawals. BlackRock is deepening its move into tokenized finance, bringing its Treasury-backed BUIDL token to Uniswap through Securitize. Court drama surrounding FTX has resurfaced, and Kraken has replaced its CFO ahead of its public listing.

A busy macro backdrop with institutional crypto developments accelerating beneath the surface.

Blowout Jobs Report, Record Highs in Asia, Bitcoin Slips Again Feb 11, 2026

Show notes

U.S. non-farm payrolls delivered a major upside surprise.

The U.S. economy added 130,000 jobs, roughly double expectations, while unemployment fell to 4.3%. The data suggests labor market stabilization despite recent economic uncertainty. Stocks initially reacted positively, though tech names continued to weigh on broader indices.

The Dow closed at record highs for a third straight session, while the Nasdaq and S&P lagged amid pressure on Alphabet and brokerages. In Asia, the Nikkei and Taiwan exchange surged to fresh all-time highs, while the yen strengthened further.

China’s vehicle sales fell 3.2% year-on-year amid persistent deflation pressures, and Bitcoin slipped back below $67,000 as talks over crypto market structure and stablecoin yields stalled. Meanwhile, LayerZero’s ZRO token jumped over 20% following the launch of a new institutional-focused blockchain.

A mixed but consequential day across macro, equities, FX, and crypto.

Stocks at Record Highs as Bitcoin ETFs Turn Positive Feb 10, 2026

Show notes

Global equity markets are trading at record highs, led by another rally in Japan’s Nikkei, now up more than 11% year to date following Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi’s decisive election victory. In the U.S., the Dow closed at an all-time high, while the Nasdaq stabilized after last week’s tech selloff.

The dollar remains soft, particularly against the yen, as investors await key U.S. economic data this week — retail sales, delayed non-farm payrolls, and CPI. The White House is managing expectations for slowing job growth, echoing recent comments from Fed Chair Jerome Powell about weakening labor supply and demand.

In Europe, France’s unemployment rate rose to 7.9%, its highest since 2021. Meanwhile, Bitcoin spot ETFs posted their first two consecutive days of net inflows since mid-January, bringing in more than $500 million. South Korea is investigating a reported $40 billion “fat-finger” crypto distribution error at Bithumb.

Japan’s Landslide Sparks Rally as Gold and Crypto Move Feb 09, 2026

Show notes

Global markets are starting the week on a stronger footing.

Japan’s Nikkei surged nearly 4% to a record high after Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi secured a historic supermajority victory. The yen strengthened as investors priced in political stability and potential fiscal expansion. Meanwhile, gold climbed back above $5,000 per ounce and silver extended its rally amid continued geopolitical tension around U.S.–Iran negotiations.

In the U.S., traders are positioning ahead of key labor market and inflation data that will test expectations for a June Federal Reserve rate cut. Treasuries dipped after reports that Chinese regulators told banks to reduce exposure to U.S. bonds.

Bitcoin rallied to $72,000 over the weekend before pulling back toward $68,000, while ETF outflows slowed considerably after two heavy weeks.

A busy week ahead...
