JPM: This week was one of the most consequential of the year. Following major hyperscaler earnings reports last week, Momentum experienced its 2nd +6-sigma unwind day in ~a week, deepening its already steep decline and producing its largest single-month underperformance in more than 40 years at -5.8z.

Fourth consecutive day of lousy liquidity conditions visible in DIX. Today was the worst yet. Worst since late 2021, actually.

GOLDMAN SACHS: DEMOCRATIC WINS COULD THREATEN 45% OF US DATA CENTER EXPANSION Goldman Sachs warns that Democratic victories at state and local levels could trigger temporary data-center construction moratoria. 🔸 45% of planned US data-center capacity could be affected. 🔸 Texas alone accounts for roughly 25% of planned capacity. 🔸 Texas, Georgia and Michigan could introduce restrictions on tax breaks, electricity, water and environmental permits. However, Goldman expects any moratoria to be short-lived, with political pressure easing over time.

I’m seeing a lot of October numbers come in on the hedge fund side. It’s been a rough month for a wide range of single-manager funds across credit, equities, commodities, and other asset classes. There’s been a real reshuffling of risk, with some of the worst losses in equities. It’s worth putting those losses in context. The S&P is down 3.8% from its all-time high over the past month and is still up roughly 10% YTD. A monthly decline of 3.8% along with a 10% YTD return is well within the normal range of how US equities function. Yes, a lot of single managers have been hit hard by taking on single-stock risk tied directly to AI. But there’s still a massive amount of exposure hiding on the index side. Given how much exposure is still sitting there, my sense is that a 20% correction today would trigger a lot more margin calls than we’ve seen in past declines of a similar size (like April 2025 etc).
