AI Falling Back To Earth? What Fixed Income May Be Saying About The Cycle
SpaceX debuted at $150, surged to $232 in four days on a wave of AI excitement, then lost 34% of its value in a single week. It was the most hyped, most AI-adjacent IPO of 2026 — and when it turned, the Nasdaq, the chip stocks, and the rest of the tech trade turned with it. So is this just a speed bump, or is AI finally falling back to earth? <br /> <br />This week Sonoma Wealth Managing Principal Chris Sipes CFP® and Marketing Director Dano Weir examine: <br />• The highs and lows of the SpaceX IPO, and how hyperscaling AI companies are dealing with surging capital expenditures. <br />• How Bitcoin is experiencing it’s own volatility right now. <br />• What is the ‘credit spread cycle’ and how could it be influencing AI growth? <br />• What tomorrow’s rebalancing of the Russell 2000 could mean and could indicate about the future. <br />• Why Daren sees oil is telegraphing that the economy might be slowing down? <br /> <br />Book Your Wealth Analysis with Sonoma Wealth right here: <a href="https://sonomawealthadvisors.com/book-your-wealth-analysis" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://sonomawealthadvisors.com/book-your-wealth-analysis</a> <br /><br />0:00 Intro + gold running too hard and fast <br />4:19 Bitcoin sentiment is low <br />7:30 Investor sentiment <br />10:02 Hyperscalers capital expenditures affecting buybacks <br />13:30 Credit spread cycles <br />18:40 Where are we in the cycle? <br />21:40 Gas prices falling?! <br />24:20 PCE ticking up and market’s reaction <br />25:03 Interest rate hikes expected <br />27:20 10-Year Treasury Spread <br />30:25 Existing vs. New Housing supply <br />37:30 US Dollar Index <br />38:50 Gold and oil going down <br />41:50 Bitcoin loses 8 year old line of support <br />45:30 Interest rates <br />47:18 SpaceX played out like a film script for an IPO <br />50:45 Mag 7 trading down <br /> <br /> <br /><a href="https://youtube.com/live/pBN4k56LeDU" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Full video available on our YouTube Channel</a><br /> <br /> <br />_______________________________________ <br />Disclosure: Fermata Advisors LLC is registered as an investment advisor with the SEC and only transacts business in states where it is properly registered or is excluded or exempted from registration requirements.
