Summary
Stocks were coming off their biggest one-day loss of the year, and the market discussion centered on whether the pullback was a healthy reset after a nine-week rally or the start of a deeper unwind. The guest argued that momentum had pushed semiconductors and other beta trades to extreme overbought levels, with valuations snapping back toward 2026 highs, so some cooling was inevitable even if fundamentals remained solid.
The conversation then turned to inflation, rates, and the bond market. The guest said a hotter CPI or PPI print could pressure yields and complicate the Fed’s path, especially with inflation still near 4% and unemployment near 4%. He also warned that continued inflation and energy strength could eventually force the long end of the curve to question the Fed’s willingness to fight price pressures.
Later, the show shifted to geopolitics and to airlines. The guest said the Israel-Iran conflict still looked more like a suspension of major hostilities than a true ceasefire, while the airline executive argued Southwest has been able to pass through higher fuel costs with fare increases, bag fees, and capacity management. He said demand remains strong, especially in corporate travel, and that Boeing deliveries are improving.
Key takeaways
- The guest said the recent equity pullback looks like an unwind from extreme overbought conditions, not a break in fundamentals, with the SOX still far from oversold.
- He argued that if inflation data runs hot, the bond market could push yields higher and force the Fed to sound tougher on inflation.
- The guest said AI-driven capital spending is forcing more equity issuance, which could keep pressure on other risk assets such as Bitcoin.
- He said the Israel-Iran conflict remains unresolved and that the U.S. military presence is partly about deterrence and backing diplomacy.
- The Southwest executive said strong business travel and pricing power have helped offset higher fuel costs, with 25% growth in corporate travel from March on.

Cam Dawson of Newedge Wealth writing after a nine-week winning streak at a breakneck pace, we should not be surprised to see some come down from the huge gains. Cam is joining us for the hour and joins us now for more. Cam, good morning. Good to see you.
Good morning. — We've been told repeatedly the fundamentals are great, but the technicals are stretched. So, the technicals beginning to bite?
Yeah, beta bites both ways. We have been enjoying a massive beta rally where we got to some pretty big extremes come midweek last week. 76% above the 200-day moving average on the SOX.
You got the Cospi up to 112% above its 200-day moving average. That would qualify as a classic price bubble. And so, we're seeing this unwind just out of these really big overbought conditions.
And what's notable is that we're nowhere near oversold. Just to get to your 50-day moving average on the on the SOX, you would be down another 13%. And yes, the fundamentals are great, but you had seen these stocks get so overbought, move so far, so fast.
It was sort of like seeing Icarus fly closer and closer to the sun and getting a little bit of that wax melting.
