3 highlights from this week's issue of The Envelope
If you're feeling a little peckish as you open this week's letter from the editor, our latest cover subject, 'Hacks' star Hannah Einbinder, has a recommendation for you: a breakfast burrito from Historic Filipinotown's Doubting Thomas, home of her favorite in the city. And while you wait for those eggs to cook up, let's unwrap the foil on our Aug. 14 issue and chomp down on some highlights. No, 'Hacks' is not over. As of this writing, Season 5 is not even officially its last. But with a stand-up comedy special under her belt, Jane Schoenbrun's 'Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma' in the can and another hush-hush project already underway, it's clear that the 'Hacks' star isn't planning to rest on the laurels of four Emmy nominations. As former competitive cheerleader Einbinder tells Margy Rochlin in this week's cover story, the prospect of leaving the 'Hacks' nest is 'emotional,' but the novelty of new challenges scratches its own itch: 'I'm an adrenaline seeker,' she says. 'I just have always liked the feeling of flying.' Accompanying the story online is the debut of our new short-form series 'In the First Place,' in which we ask cover subjects about life and career 'firsts' — including, in Einbinder's case, her first stop at the Americana, the first comedy album she listened to on repeat and more. As a result, perhaps, of my particular lens — former high-school teacher here — it wasn't the destabilizing premiere, the wrenching finale, or Owen Cooper and Erin Doherty's riveting two-hander that left me most awestruck when I watched Netflix's 'Adolescence' this spring. It was only after the second episode, which weaves a murder investigation into a chaotic school day, that I found myself muttering under my breath, 'I need a diagram of how they did that.' Thanks to Emmy-nominated director of photography Matthew Lewis for obliging my curiosity (see above), and for speaking to contributor Bill Desowitz for his story about the extraordinary choreography required to piece a fire drill, a police chase and a drone shot into a single continuous shot, all with 350 young extras to corral. For logistical stress, that puts even chaperoning prom to shame. And trust me, I'd know! 'Somebody Somewhere's' Jeff Hiller is having the time of his life — and not just in the photo above, snapped last month in the courtyard of his Manhattan apartment building. As Tyler Coates writes in his profile of the first-time Emmy nominee, the surprise and delight of the announcement allows Hiller to keep basking in gratitude for the role of lovable queer Kansan Joel even though the series ended its three-season run last fall: 'If I could play a role like that for six weeks once a year, for the rest of my life? I'd be more than fulfilled.' It also allows him entree to HBO's vaunted after-party, though my fingers are crossed that 'Somebody Somewhere' doesn't inspire any trays of 'St. Louis sushi.'

Large HNI and institutional money continuing to buy on every dip: N Jayakumar

He estimates $2-3 billion in HNI positions have been cleared, fueling a buy-on-dip market. With Mark Mobius expressing interest in Indian pharmaceuticals and a global shift away from US exceptionalism, India is poised to benefit from increased capital inflows , directly or via emerging market should now maybe start terming it cessation of firing rather than a ceasefire because it is important to understand that all the conditions India have put need to get adhered to. Most people did not see an extension of this war and yet whether it is the HNIs or people in general, large investors have been selling, but very interestingly over the last one week, institutional investors have been buying every single day and the markets have not really gone below 24, what was 21,900 to 22,300 a few weeks ago, is now close to 23,500, 24,000 and my own assessment is that the structural advantages of India at this point which has been sort of talked at length on multiple channels including yours is here to play out and I would suspect close to about $2 to $3 billion of HNI positions have got squared off and the market is where it the market is a buy on every dip, especially large HNI money will come in on most dips and institutions continue to buy. Mark Mobius has talked about how he would like to invest in India and he interestingly talked about the pharmaceutical space and a few other spaces which he wants to invest in, so I am sure people are reading the same tweets and same headlines and if people are seeing the problems besetting China was not a credible place to do business in, you cannot trust them fully, the US with its maverick policies, sort of WhatsApp and Twitter based policy announcements is getting less and less dollar is clearly showing the way and we need to watch out for two things, the rising yields in the US because they are again moving up close to the 4.9% on the long bond and 4.5% on the 10-year, the refinancing of US debt is going to become more and more of an issue and the dollar index which is around the 100 levels having tested 98 recently continues to march downwards. So, there is going to be a reallocation of at least currencies to whether it is a Swiss Franc or whether it is the euro or are indicating where money is moving and make no mistake, US exceptionalism is a term of the past and is certainly not an event of the present. Money is moving out of the US. Money is not necessarily going to China. Money is coming to the rest of the world. So, even if you were to be a Doubting Thomas and say no India, it cannot come immediately, it is wishful thinking, money is coming to India whether directly or through allocation into emerging markets. People that have been naysayers, people who have been extremely bearish and cautious, and those are exactly the recipe inducing components of a next bull market.
