AI overlay mayhem: where is this taking us?
Summary: Today, a look at everyone attempting to put on the "AI overlay" trade and whether this unsettles confidence in the market more broadly, or just deepens recent and very remarkable dispersion in the performance of many sectors.

Today's pod was hosted by Saxo Global Head of Macro Strategy John J. Hardy.
