They also discuss the collapse in crypto momentum, the Federal Reserve’s changing stance on inflation and interest rates, falling oil prices, and what the latest manufacturing and services data tells us about the...

ITPM Flash provides insight into what professional traders are thinking about in the markets RIGHT NOW! While investors chase AI winners, a quieter opportunity may be emerging in an overlooked corner of the technology sector. The AI trade continues to dominate headlines, pushing the Nasdaq to fresh highs and driving valuations across parts of the technology sector to increasingly stretched levels. But beneath the surface, credit markets remain calm, Treasury yields are easing, and the broader market may be setting up for a rotation rather than a correction. In...

ITPM Podcast
ITPM Flash provides insight into what professional traders are thinking about in the markets RIGHT NOW! Consumer sentiment is collapsing… yet one sector may be perfectly positioned to benefit.

In this week’s ITPM Flash, Jason McDonald examines the muted reaction in equities following the Iran conflict, with the S&P 500 only modestly off its highs.

ITPM Flash provides insight into what professional traders are thinking about in the markets RIGHT NOW! The next phase of the AI boom may not happen on Earth. In this week’s ITPM Flash, Alessandro Ameli explores a major shift in AI infrastructure — as data centres begin to reach physical limits in power, water usage, and grid capacity.

Markets may look calm at the index level, but beneath the surface the stock market environment is becoming increasingly chaotic.
In this episode of ITPM Flash, Edward Shek looks at the growing dispersion across equities as capital rotates out of technology stocks and into other sectors. Hedge funds and long-only managers have been selling US equities at the fastest pace since last year’s tariff shock, with much of that money leaving tech while some flows into cyclicals, treasuries and international markets.
At the same time, the debate around AI disruption continues to intensify. Software stocks have already suffered significant damage, and research from companies like Anthropic is raising serious questions about the long-term impact of AI on professional industries including finance, consulting, law and accounting.
Yet while the market debates the future of software, another opportunity may be emerging elsewhere.
Ed outlines the case for Roku (ROKU) — a streaming platform business that monetises user engagement through advertising, subscriptions and content distribution. The company sells low-margin streaming devices to build its ecosystem, but the real value lies in its platform economics and advertising inventory.
With around 90 million active accounts and users streaming more than four hours per day on average, Roku may be approaching the point where platform scale begins to drive meaningful operational leverage and earnings growth.
In a market defined by uncertainty, sector rotation and stock dispersion, trade opportunities increasingly come from individual stock ideas rather than broad index direction.
Enjoy the Chaos.
