Financial markets: bonds dictate the law, not tech

09min | 05/19/2026

Description

Financial markets are under intense pressure. In this episode, I explain why the Nasdaq 100 has suffered significantly more than the Dow Jones, with the S&P 500 acting as a referee. The core issue lies in the heavy impact of US interest rates—with the 10-year Treasury yield around 4.13% and the 30-year near 5.13%—and how American bonds weigh on AI stocks, which must borrow constantly to maintain their pace. I also cover WTI crude oil trading above $100, the geopolitical rumors regarding Iran that briefly supported the CAC 40 index, and the current overall environment of severe market volatility: “we are truly on a minefield”.
