WS #7436
The dominant signal in this window is the release of Q1 2026 13F filings from major hedge funds and Berkshire Hathaway, revealing significant portfolio shifts. Berkshire Hathaway, under new CEO Greg Abel, boosted its Alphabet stake and exited Amazon, while taking a new $2.65B position in Delta Air Lines. Third Point initiated stakes in Alphabet, Meta, and ASML, while Citadel added GE and T-Mobile. These filings provide high-signal insight into institutional positioning. Separately, geopolitical tensions escalated with reports of US-Israeli plans for potential strikes on Iran, a Russian attack destroying a residential building in Kyiv, and Hezbollah attacks on Israeli barracks. The bond rout continues to pressure risk assets, with equities and bonds both declining to close the week. The prevailing macro narrative of geopolitical risk and bond market stress is ESCALATING, with no counter-signals in this window.
