AI trade breaks down and bonds advance, Michael Kao notes
AI trade cracks, bond rally signals growth worry

The AI trade has seen a notable reversal and bonds have rallied into a hot CPI print, which Michael Kao described as signaling a growth scare, with the so-called Debt Governor remaining active.

Kao, CIO of Akadia Capital, made these observations in his Weekly KAOS roundup.

Kao previously highlighted signs of a capitulation bottom in TLT and revealed buying short-term call options during a period of perceived overselling in one recent report. On October 7, 2026, he reported heightened volatility after the TLT double-bottom breakdown in another update. These observations come as Kao continues to monitor shifting bond market conditions.
