The world is supposed to be all over the "sell America" trade, so why is it only this one key currency is? The thing is now sticking out like a sore thumb as more and more pile onto "sell America" here without any corroboration at all. Even FX modelers are confused by this insistence. What happens when everyone is on one side of a transaction under false assumptions? It converges. Sometimes violently. Eurodollar University's Money & Macro Analysis*******To sign up for our webinar on July 10, follow the link below:https://event.webinarjam.com/channel/swaps******Bloomberg Misfiring Models Leave Wall Street Currency Traders Flying Blindhttps://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-07-07/misfiring-models-leave-wall-street-currency-traders-flying-blindhttps://www.eurodollar.universityTwitter: https://twitter.com/JeffSnider_EDU

Why are central banks loading up on gold and moving away from the dollar? Discover the global shift unfolding now.

In this intense and eye-opening episode of the Hard Asset Money Show, Christian Briggs delivers a hard-hitting deep dive into the rising tide of central bank digital currency (CBDC), smart contracts, and asset tokenization. What does it really mean when your home, bank account, or investments are turned into digital tokens on a blockchain—controlled by third parties and governed by private keys? From Ripple's role in global CBDC infrastructure to Apple and Neuralink's mind-controlled payment tech, Briggs explores how the world is racing toward centralized, programmable money. Are we witnessing the end of financial privacy and free-market capitalism as we know it? And more importantly—what can you do now to protect your wealth and your rights? If you think this is the future, you're already behind. This is the now. Tune in and get ahead before the switch flips.

Is this the payback? The rate cuts aren't working and that can only mean more of them. The best current examples are to north and south of the US where rolling over has taken on a new sense of urgency, especially since both are, at the margins, a proxy for American demand.Eurodollar University's conversation w/Steve Van Metre*******To sign up for our webinar on July 10, follow the link below:https://event.webinarjam.com/channel/swaps******https://www.eurodollar.universityTwitter: https://twitter.com/JeffSnider_EDU

It was supposed to be one single out-of-control Wall Street bank. When authorities were forced to look into the matter, what they uncovered was a shocking. Not one but EVERYONE. Yet, after uncovering what was going on, the full astonishing scale, they never figured out WHY. And that was the whole thing, what the scandal said about a world that had already drastically changed. Eurodollar University's Make It Make Cents*******To sign up for our webinar on July 10, follow the link below:https://event.webinarjam.com/channel/swaps******Treasury Joint Report on the Government Securities Market (Jan 1992)https://home.treasury.gov/system/files/276/joint-report-on-the-government-securities-Market-1992.pdfLA Times Taming the Bond Buccaneers at Salomon Brothers : How Warren Buffet and friends swept up after the Salomon scandal, possible saving the firm from federal regulators furious after a decade of skuldggery [sic] on Wall Street.https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1992-02-16-tm-4654-story.htmlSEC Chronology of Salomon Scandalhttps://www.sechistorical.org/collection/papers/1990/1991_1016_ChronologySalomonT.pdfJay Powell Treasury Markets and the TMPG (Oct 2017)https://www.federalreserve.gov/newsevents/speech/powell20171005a.htmhttps://www.eurodollar.universityTwitter: https://twitter.com/JeffSnider_EDU

Headline was a beat and the unemployment rate stalled. Yet, the former was ironically a product of government jobs while the latter slid a tiny amount for ALL THE WRONG REASONS.

The UK saw another round of combined sterling and gilt weakness, a pattern which is becoming worryingly familiar. Politics elsewhere seemed to have run a bit more smoothly with the US budget bill passing through the Senate and House, teeing up some degree of fiscal expansion for the year ahead. Tariffs remain on the agenda for the week ahead, as we approach the 9 July deadline. In Asia, we focus on the Bank of Korea's likely hawkishness relative to potential rate cuts by the Reserve Bank of Australia and the Reserve Bank of New Zealand.

Fedex is a global bellwether for good reason. What the company said about the economic environment at the start of Q3 was...nothing. But in choosing not to forecast anything, the company said a lot especially given the evidence that has come piling up. We haven't seen consumer spending and incomes like this in America since 2020.

AI shouldn't provoke fear and anxiety, it should raise expectations for regular 4-day workweek with 3-day weekends. Artificial Intelligence represents a potential major leap in labor productivity. The end result isn't a desolate hellscape which leaves everyone unemployed, it's instead something economics (small "e") is very familiar with. webinar link https://event.webinarjam.com/channel/swapsEurodollar University's Make it Make Cents*******To sign up for our webinar on July 10, follow the link below:https://event.webinarjam.com/register/29/4yzg6cx2******https://www.eurodollar.universityTwitter: https://twitter.com/JeffSnider_EDU

A ceasefire in the Middle East. A US-China deal. Relatively benign dataflow. The S&P 500 back at a record high. But are things really looking up? Group Chief Economist Neil Shearing is on The Weekly Briefing from Capital Economics to talk to David Wilder about fragilities under the surface of the global economy. He discusses worldwide fiscal risks, why there's less to see with that US-China deal and those divisions on the FOMC. Also on the show, BYD and DeepSeek may be in the spotlight, but their rise reflects deeper structural flaws in China's economy. They're a sign of economic success, but also of the growing distortions in the government's industrial strategy – weaknesses that are increasingly evident in China's dismal productivity data. Chief Asia Economist Mark Williams has been delving into the details of Xi Jinping's industrial roadmap and the productivity data to tell David what this all says about China's economic outlook.Events and analysis referenced in this podcast:Read: China's push for innovation is not lifting productivityRoundtable: One year on: Is the UK government boosting growth?Read: Fed independence not a concern for markets, yetRead: APAC Commercial Property Outlook: Values to fall as region's markets struggle to recoverData: APAC Commercial Property
