Market Commentary
Everyone’s blind to the inflation aftershocks hidden beneath the “Ethereum Open Interest Rises While Price Pulls Back: Short Squeeze Setup?” noise. While derivatives geeks chase a squeeze, rising costs and currency swings—highlighted by the rupee’s record low in BusinessLine—threaten to clip equities that only look cheap on the surface.
Meanwhile, the frenzy around SAIL’s 19% surge (The Times of India) and Trump-visit China bets (CNBC) reveal the same herd mindset: rumor-driven steel merger talk and political theater are fueling momentum trades, but these themes are more about FOMO than durable value.
Actionable takeaway: allocate capital to names with real earnings momentum, not just headlines. Trim those margin-driven plays before the next policy pivot blindsides you.
