Are treasuries a safe haven again or is that too crazy a notion?

Today we look at yesterday's ugly session for tech and AI-related stocks, noting the follow on action once again in Asia overnight as well, all while the median stock was almost unchanged on the day. Elsewhere, we note US treasuries opening up heavily bid after the bank holiday and wonder whether US treasuries are suddenly serving their traditional role as a safe haven again. This and much more on today's pod, which is hosted by Saxo Global Head of Macro Strategy John J. Hardy.
