BofA warns current AI-driven market concentration resembles the run-up to the 2000 tech bubble peak

Bank of America strategist Michael Hartnett said in the latest edition of "Flow Show" that the current structure of the U.S. equity market looks strikingly similar to the period just before the 2000 dot-com bubble peak. He pointed to a market split in which AI-related trades and mega-cap technology stocks continue to lead while much of the rest of the market remains under pressure. Hartnett said investors are long AI assets represented by the Nasdaq 100 and the Magnificent Seven, while shorting areas with lower AI exposure such as the S&P 500 equal-weight index, adding that the "1999 analogy still holds." He also described AI as the "biggest bubble since railroads," while noting key differences between the two eras, including rising semiconductor prices today and the lack of support from falling Treasury yields. Hartnett said the U.S. 10-year Treasury yield has climbed to 5.33%, the highest since 2002, and proposed a "buy humiliation" trade in bonds. He also flagged four market warning levels tied to IXG, MOVE, MDY and IJR, while BofA’s bull-and-bear indicator slipped from 9.3 to 8.8 but remained in "sell" territory.

Eric Balchunas says Anthropic valuation has risen 22-fold since June 2024

Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas said Anthropic’s valuation has increased 22 times since June 2024, based on market value estimates derived from disclosures by mutual funds that hold the company. He said that pace of growth is roughly 10 times that of the Nasdaq 100 and Nvidia over the same period. Balchunas also noted that Fidelity has the largest exposure to Anthropic among the funds mentioned, followed by CapGrp and BLK. Even so, the benefit to mutual funds has been limited because their portfolio weights in the company remain relatively small. The comment points to how sharply Anthropic’s private-market valuation has climbed, while also showing that listed fund investors may not capture much of that upside when the position size is modest.

Coinbase Institutional says BTC-gold correlation is near historic highs as returns diverge

Coinbase Institutional said on X that Bitcoin’s correlation with gold is close to historic highs, while cautioning that similar correlation does not mean the two assets deliver the same returns. The firm pointed to a clear split over the past month: BTC rose, while gold fell. In its view, that suggests marginal demand is still leaning toward Bitcoin even as interest rates move higher. Coinbase Institutional also said two indicators have moved lower at the same time. The 90-day correlation between BTC and gold has declined, and Bitcoin’s beta versus the Nasdaq 100 index has also fallen. The update highlights that BTC can still trade differently from traditional macro assets even when headline correlation remains elevated.

U.S. stock index futures extend losses, with Nasdaq 100 futures down 1%

U.S. stock index futures moved lower on Sept. 28, according to market data from BIT (bit.com). Nasdaq 100 futures fell 1%, while S&P 500 futures were down 0.44% and Dow futures slipped 0.4%. The move pointed to broad weakness across major U.S. equity benchmarks in pre-market futures trading. Separate data from Bitget showed spot gold falling below $4,170 per ounce, with intraday losses exceeding 2.6%. The figures reflect simultaneous declines in both U.S. equity index futures and gold prices, based on the quoted market feeds in the original report. The report was published by BlockBeats as a brief market update and cited BIT (bit.com) for U.S. index futures data and Bitget for spot gold pricing.

Bloomberg analyst Mike McGlone says Bitcoin and crypto have underperformed on a risk-adjusted basis

Bloomberg senior analyst Mike McGlone argued that Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies may be classified as underperforming assets when viewed through the lens of risk and portfolio management over roughly the past decade. In his assessment, the Market Vector Digital Assets 100 Index, or MVDA, which is about two-thirds weighted to Bitcoin, has been largely flat since 2017, while the Nasdaq 100 Index has continued to rise over the same period. McGlone said MVDA has shown average volatility about three times higher than the Nasdaq 100 and has remained positively correlated with equities, which in his view means it has failed to deliver effective diversification. He also said that after Bitcoin futures launched in 2017 and crypto entered the mainstream, MVDA stopped outperforming the Nasdaq 100. McGlone added that the listing of U.S. ETFs and Donald Trump’s shift in stance ahead of the 2024 presidential election may already have marked crypto’s peak, and he does not expect that situation to change.
