3 big stories moving the market
Today's biggest movers, with the charts that go with them.
Anthropic files for its IPO
The maker of Claude confidentially filed a draft S-1 with the SEC, moving ahead of rival OpenAI toward public markets. It follows a $65B raise that lifted Anthropic's valuation to roughly $965B. Anthropic is private for now, so there's no ticker yet — the chart below tracks Nvidia, a core AI-trade proxy.
SpaceX's $40B debt deal gets pricey as AI fears spread
SpaceX is seeking ~$40B in new debt (~$10B loans + ~$30B bonds) to buy Nvidia AI chips. The cost of insuring that debt has jumped sharply as lenders grow cautious — a sign the AI boom is increasingly built on borrowing. The deal is a key test of how much AI debt the market can absorb.
Chip stocks break a bear trap after a $3T rout
After shedding roughly $3 trillion in value and tipping into bear-market territory, semiconductors snapped back hard, with names like Micron and Intel leading a sharp rebound. Traders stayed long but loaded up on record put protection — a bounce treated as much as a chance to hedge as a recovery.
Papermates highlight
Learning The Market...
What's In The Name
Practicing trades with simulated money before risking your own. Every beginner starts on paper before going live, it's the foundation of how I teach.
Not guru to student...mentor to mentee. A mate is someone in it with you, teaching trader to trader, not talking down from above.
Put them together, and that's Papermates: a place to practice safely, taught by someone who's been exactly where you are.
