In this interview with Wealthion's Maggie Lake, Jim Bianco, President and Macro Strategist at Bianco Research, brings his incredible insights into what is happening in these volatile times is just what the investor needs. From what the bond market is really telling us, to why he thinks the Fed WON'T be coming to the rescue in the face of a potential recession. His 4/5/6 theory and why he thinks investing is now so much harder, everyone needs a wealth manager to help them navigate the markets going forward. What the dollar's decline really means, the massive shift away from US assets and what he thinks investors should be looking to buy (hint: one is gold) and what they should be wary of (hint: one is AI). Plus, why the transactional nature of the country's current tariff policy, may not be a bad thing. Chapters 00 Watch the Bond Market 4:00 Fed to the Rescue?

Mar 21, 2025 – Financial Sense Newshour welcomes Jim Bianco of Bianco Research to discuss Trump 2.0's bold economic strategies amid a $36.6 trillion U.S. debt and 7% GDP deficits. Bianco's “Mar-a-Lago Accord” highlights radical changes...
Jim Bianco, president of Bianco Research, returns to The Julia La Roche Show for episode 242 to discuss the markets and the economy. He explains why America's K-shaped economy - where the top 10% drives 50% of retail sales - has made the status quo unsustainable. He argues Trump's policies reflect the reality that our $36 trillion debt has become a national security issue requiring allies to pay for their defense rather than relying solely on U.S. taxpayers. Bianco maintains his "no landing" economic outlook, viewing tariffs as negotiation leverage rather than permanent policy. For investors, he predicts bonds will deliver 5% returns with lower volatility compared to stocks' 6-7% annually, making fixed income an attractive alternative after years of TINA (There Is No Alternative).This episode is sponsored by Monetary Metals.

In Episode 397 of Hidden Forces, Demetri Kofinas speaks with Jim Bianco, President and Macro Strategist at Bianco Research, about the macroeconomic factors driving the recent rise in bond yields and a range of other variables shaping the economies of the U.S., Europe, and China, as well as their impact on investors' portfolios. In the first hour, Bianco and Kofinas analyze the factors behind the surge in long-term interest rates across the developed world. Their discussion covers the Federal Reserve's role, concerns about government debt and deficits, inflation, tariff policies, and economic growth expectations amid these potential challenges. In the second hour, they shift their focus to the implications of these changes for investors. They explore the resilience—or lack thereof—of the traditional 60/40 portfolio and strategies for mitigating portfolio volatility in a market environment where stocks and bonds increasingly move in tandem. Additionally, Demetri and Jim examine the drivers of U.S. dollar strength, the risks posed by U.S. equity concentration, the potential for a recession, and what the continued decline in Chinese bond yields suggests about the state of China's economy.

Despite the confidence Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell is doing his best to project, inflation has not yet been slain. And today's guest expert, Jim Bianco, founder of market research firm Bianco Research, thinks it's going to continue to prove problematic as the return of the "bond vigilantes" increasingly undermines the Fed's efforts. We'll talk about his reasons why, as well as his concerns about the current extreme valuations in stocks, and why if they experience a material correction, bonds may not provide the protection to portfolios they did in the past.

The fight for the White House is over. The fight for your portfolio is just beginning. Now that Donald Trump has won the 2024 presidential election, and Republicans may end up controlling both branches of Congress, markets are reacting swiftly and strongly – and new leaders (and laggards) are emerging. In this week's MoneyShow MoneyMasters Podcast, Jim Bianco, President and Macro Strategist at Bianco Research, and Jeff Hirsch, Editor-in-Chief of The Stock Trader's Almanac and Almanac Investor, explain what is happening, why it's happening, and what you can do to adapt and profit as an investor.We start with a discussion of the just-completed election, including why we saw an effective “red sweep,” how betting markets “got things right” ahead of pollsters, and what that means for future election cycles. The conversation next covers the massive moves in equities, Treasury yields, the US dollar, gold, and Bitcoin – as well as why select market sectors and small cap stocks are cheering a Trump win. Jeff weighs in on what past presidential election cycles say about the likelihood of this post-election rally continuing into 2025, while Jim brings up the biggest fly in the ointment that could derail the bullish train.We then pivot to Fed policy and what to expect at the next few meetings...how the epic battle between Chairman Jay Powell and the bond market vigilantes will unfold...and what fixed-income strategies make the most sense for investors. Jeff also shares some of his favorite sectors and stocks, as well as which asset class he's most bullish on in a new Trump administration. Lastly, Jim and Jeff preview they'll cover at the 2024 MoneyShow Masters Symposium Sarasota, scheduled for Dec. 5-7 at the Hyatt Regency Sarasota.

After this week's market wrap-up, Financial Sense Newshour interviews Jim Bianco of Bianco Research for his latest insights on the US economy and markets. Jim discusses how the US is spending approximately $6 trillion annually—levels usually observed during major recessions or financial crises—and how this spending is averting a widespread recession but significantly affecting the investment landscape, including inflation, monetary policy, the US Treasury, and the bond market. He guides listeners through these impacts, detailing potential upside and downside risks, and shares his overall macro perspective on the US economy and markets.
Could the Federal Reserve's next moves be politically driven and potentially reignite inflation? Tune in as we explore this provocative question with Jim Bianco, the president and founder of Bianco Research. Jim provides his expert analysis on the transition from a deflationary cycle to what he calls a "sticky inflation cycle," fueled by remote work, deglobalization, and the political manipulation of energy resources. He predicts a sustained inflation rate of 3-4%, significantly higher than pre-2020 levels, and cautions against potential rate cuts by the Fed. We also dissect the complexities of quantitative tightening and its impacts on the economy, particularly focusing on interest rates and inflation. Jim highlights the current stock market's concentration in major companies like Nvidia, Microsoft, and Apple, and discusses the implications for traditional diversification. We examine the risks associated with popular ETFs and consider scenarios where diversified portfolios might outperform these concentrated indices. Jim brings a wealth of knowledge, shedding light on the disparity between Main Street and Wall Street and the evolving labor market dynamics post-COVID.In the latter part of our conversation, we delve into the relationship between the stock market and rising unemployment rates, the demographic impact on investment choices, and the state of the gold market. Jim discusses gold's role as a non-correlated asset and the challenges faced by ETFs in a saturated market. We also touch on strategic bond market positioning and the long-term economic impacts of the 2020 global shutdown.
