Google’s Best Quarter. Google’s Worst Week. $280 Billion Wiped.
Alphabet delivered record Q2 profits — beating consensus on both revenue and EPS. Then the stock fell 7% in three sessions, wiping roughly $280 billion in market capitalisation from a $4 trillion base. Who is right — the market re-pricing management’s AI capex vision, or Sundar Pichai defending long-term infrastructure investment? Speculative predation on a…

$68 Billion on IBM, $1 Trillion on SpaceX — The Configuration Was on the Tape Since Mid-June
IBM erased $68 billion in one session on 14 July. SpaceX has erased approximately $1 trillion in paper market capitalisation since its 16 June intraday peak. Advanced correlation signals across Consumer Discretionary (XLY), Tech (XLK) and Real Estate (XLRE) already flagged the fragility in mid-June — when the tape was still buying the story. Three…

Two Readings of the Same Selloff — Tech Headlines, Rate Geometry — and the T-Bill Crossed σ 90%
The press attributed this week’s S&P and Nasdaq losses to AI capex doubts and memory-stock fears. A quieter news thread — Fed hike expectations, jobs data in focus, gold’s fourth weekly loss — and the manifold’s contagion map both point to rate transmission as the structural driver. We read the two readings side by side.…

Four Central Banks Pivoted Hawkish. The S&P Closed +1%. Its Geometry Caught What the Index Smoothed Over.
The S&P 500 index gained 1% on Thursday and the dollar posted its best week since 2024. Under both surfaces, three independent epicenters — XLRE in the US, STOXX Construction in Europe, and the US 3-month bill at a +145% above-geodesic record — give the convergence its geometric signature. The price moved; the joint dispersion…

Singularity Asymmetry — A $2 Trillion IPO Bent Only One Manifold
The S&P 500 jumped to Tension 51.1% on a +0.50% close. Macro and STOXX 600 stayed in Singularity. Three stress modes acted in parallel — sectoral reconfiguration, structural commodity dispersion, and a decaying geopolitical premium. The manifold read the asymmetry before the GICS committee could.

The asset most controlled by the Fed is the one most disconnected from the rest of the…
