00:02Lekker Capital's Quinn Thompson recommended avoiding crypto through the summer and returning
00:07in late Q3, citing three overlapping pressures on the market, according to Benzinga.
00:13SpaceX, Anthropic, and OpenAI are collectively bringing more than $3 trillion in new IPO
00:19supply to market, competing with existing tech names for capital.
00:22Thompson noted that MAG7 stocks are lagging while the rest of the Nasdaq carries the index,
00:28a pattern he called classic late-cycle behavior.
00:32Thompson warned that a prisoner's dilemma facing major cloud companies.
00:36Continuing AI infrastructure spending hurts their own stock prices, but cutting that spending
00:42would crash semiconductor and AI supply chain stocks and drag the broader tech market down.
00:47Thompson warned that the dollar-yen exchange rate is near a 50-year high, and if Japan fails
00:52to strengthen the yen at its upcoming central bank meeting, a breakout above 160 could trigger
00:58volatility across all risk assets.
