1 Bloomberg: Yesterday’s #tech-led #selloff probably wasn’t a one-off.
A sharp rise in both prices and #volatility in #semiconductor #stocks is creating a treacherous landscape, according to #traders, who warn that #investors are maxing out the #AI trade. 🧵

Bloomberg: South Korea’s top financial regulator said he regrets not blocking the launch of #leveraged #ETFs tracking single #stocks last month. They may be adding #volatility to the world’s best-performing #market.

1 #TorstenSlok, chief economist at Apollo Global Markets: Nasdaq implied #volatility relative to the #S&P500 has spiked to its highest level in many years. The jump reflects #investors demanding far more protection on #AI names than on the broad #market … 🧵

🚀🥴 Oh no! It seems Elon Musk's space toys are giving retirees heartburn over their 401(k)s! Who knew intergalactic adventures could make personal finance more volatile than a Tesla on Autopilot? 🚀💸

“Hydroclimate volatility refers to sudden, large and/or frequent transitions between very dry and very wet conditions. In this Review, we examine how hydroclimate volatility is anticipated to evolve with anthropogenic warming. Using a metric of ‘hydroclimate whiplash’ based on the Standardized Precipitation Evapotranspiration Index, global-averaged subseasonal (3-month) and interannual (12-month) whiplash have increased by 31–66% and 8–31%, respectively, since the mid-twentieth century. Further increases are anticipated with ongoing warming, including subseasonal increases of 113% and interannual increases of 52% over land areas with 3 °C of warming; these changes are largest at high latitudes and from northern Africa eastward into South Asia. Extensive evidence links these increases primarily to thermodynamics, namely the rising water-vapour-holding capacity and potential evaporative demand of the atmosphere. Increases in hydroclimate volatility will amplify hazards associated with rapid swings between wet and dry states (including flash floods, wildfires, landslides and disease outbreaks), and could accelerate a water management shift towards co-management of drought and flood risks. A clearer understanding of plausible future trajectories of hydroclimate volatility requires expanded focus on the response of atmospheric circulation to regional and global forcings, as well as land–ocean–atmosphere feedbacks, using large ensemble climate model simulations, storm-resolving high-resolution models and emerging machine learning methods…
