3 big stories moving the market

Today's biggest movers, with the charts that go with them.

IPO · AIPRIVATE

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.

Debt · AISPCX

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.

Semis · ReversalSOXX

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.

What's In The Name

papermates
/ˈpeɪ.pər meɪts/
compound noun
PAPER + MATES = PAPERMATES
Paper (n.) — from papertrading

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.

Mates (n.) — coach, mentor, friend

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.
