Japan just spent $100 billion rescuing the yen. Not over several years. Not during some historic financial crisis. In less than one month. This wasn't just Japan acting alone, either.

What is happening inside Mark Walter's financial empire - which until recently included the LA Lakers - has the potential to blow the lid off the entire private credit story - if not the whole debt cycle. A billion-dollar loan connected to Guggenheim Investments is trading at roughly 73 cents on the dollar, a price normally associated with serious distress.

Axios reported that Walmart raised its outlook while saying drug price declines pressured pharmacy results. Pharmacy margins are being squeezed by reimbursement terms set by PBMs, generic drug deflation, and the 2024 shift of pharmacy DIR fees to the point of sale. CVS Health and Walgreens Boots Alliance have cited similar headwinds, while Amazon Pharmacy, Mark Cuban Cost Plus Drug Company, and GoodRx are reshaping price transparency and consumer behavior. The Inflation Reduction Act will add Medicare drug price negotiations in 2026 and a $2,000 Part D out-of-pocket cap in 2025, which could shift volumes and reimbursement flows. Rising demand for GLP-1 drugs adds inventory and authorization complexity without guaranteed margin lift. Walmart's 2024 exit from its health clinics highlights how reimbursement pressures influence strategy, pushing focus back to core pharmacy services and OTC products.Learn more on this news by visiting us at: https://greyjournal.net/news/ Hosted on Acast.

Blaming Amazon's Prime Day, everyone is trying to work around yet another "unexpected" negative number. Following an "unexpected" drop in July payrolls, the Census Bureau now reports an "unexpected" drop in retail sales alongside an "unexpected" setback in consumer confidence and, yes, an "unexpected" decline in gasoline usage during peak driving season.

Tech bros promise a miracle, but history warns of a bubble. We explore how AI-driven deflation could trigger a global debt meltdown, starting with the warning signs in South Korea. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Everyone believes the AI bubble is mainly about stocks. That makes sense. The obvious historical comparison is the dot-com bubble. However, this one is all about credit unlike 1999. And that credit is now talking loudly through credit default swaps and other debt market signals. Companies like Oracle and SpaceX have seen their CDS prices surge recently, with big moves in July across all the big names in AI tech: Amazon, Meta, and negative cash flow for the first time Google, Alphabet, whatever the company calls itself. Nvidia is seeing higher premiums.

When people hear the words “trade war,” they usually think of one person: Donald Trump. But while everyone has been watching Washington and Beijing, another potential trade war has been developing much more quietly—and this one could be even more disruptive than most people realize.

Sixteen years after last sharing a table together, four Stratfor alumni reunite for a wide-ranging conversation on the decade ahead. Jacob and Marko are joined by Peter Zeihan, and Matt Gertken to tackle three questions: How does the world end in the next 10 years? What core belief could each of us get wrong? And what's the least expected, most likely thing to happen next?The conversation ranges from deglobalization and collapsing oil supply chains to the demographic cliff facing the developed world, the odds of deflation versus inflation in the 2030s, and whether the global order ends up multipolar, bipolar, or unipolar. They also debate the odds of a US-China clash over Taiwan, and whether the nation-state can survive a coming showdown with the tech companies and billionaires who increasingly control critical infrastructure - including orbit.--Timestamps:(00:00) - Welcome and Setup(02:05) - Reunion at the Table(03:11) - Episode Premise and Format(04:22) - Zeihan on Deglobalization(06:42) - Energy Shock Fallout(08:52) - Demographics and Demand Crash(11:03) - Deflation vs Inflation Debate(16:25) - Drone Warfare Dark Turn(18:21) - Semiconductors Reality Check(27:27) - Marco Goes Nuclear(30:10) - Russia Collapse Scenarios(33:18) - Nukes Spread and Ukraine Endgame(35:31) - Supply Chain Shockwaves(36:34) - Putin Hell Bar Joke(37:18) - Europe Expansion Debate(39:26) - EU Becomes Military Union(40:37) - Post Putin Chaos Risks(43:08) - Russian Elite Succession(44:27) - Civil War Nuclear Fear(47:34) - China Fills The Vacuum(52:26) - Taiwan Timeline Scenario(53:59) - Drones Nukes And Invasion(56:43) - Deterrence And Flashpoints(01:03:34) - China Demographics Clash(01:05:15) - Depopulation Not Disaster(01:06:14) - Black Plague Lessons(01:07:11) - Automation Versus Depopulation(01:07:22) - Japan China Depopulation Debate(01:09:31) - End of Nation State(01:11:18) - Shocks and State Capacity(01:12:04) - Broken World of More(01:13:07) - Knowledge Networks Collapse(01:14:31) - Affluence Feudalism Demand(01:16:51) - Brittle AI Chip Supply(01:21:39) - Ingenuity Gap Reversal(01:23:34) - Rapid Fire Predictions(01:35:47) - State Versus Tech Showdown(01:40:24) - Wrap and Break--Referenced in the Show:https://zeihan.com/--Jacob Shapiro Site: jacobshapiro.comJacob Shapiro LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/jacob-l-s-a9337416Jacob Twitter: x.com/JacobShapJacob Shapiro Substack: jashap.substack.com/subscribe --The Jacob Shapiro Show is produced and edited by Audiographies LLC.

There is a MAJOR dislocation across the entire marketplace you need to know about, and it starts with Nestle and French fries, not the fed funds rate. Swaps, inflation demand, curves, even oil; you name it. You think everyone agrees with the Fed or ECB about what's coming next, but the truth is the OVERWHELMING consensus is entirely different from what you're hearing.

Most people believe another Asian financial crisis can't happen. Not like 1997. Asian governments now have enormous foreign-exchange reserves. Their currencies are generally more flexible. Banks are better regulated. Officials supposedly understand contagion, currency mismatches, and the importance of acting quickly.In short, Asia learned its lesson.

Today's Post - https://bahnsen.co/3TdOnKh David Bahnsen discusses whether the U.S. has shifted from the 1990–2020 disinflation era to a higher structural inflation range, engaging Dr. Lacy Hunt's view that the prior 1.5–2.5% equilibrium may have broken toward 3.5–5% as globalization wanes. Bahnsen argues globalization aided disinflation but wasn't the sole driver, emphasizing Hunt's framework that rising government debt lowers money velocity, crowds out productive investment, and suppresses long-term growth. He questions whether deglobalization is truly structural, citing industrial-policy efforts as often half-hearted and inconsistently enforced. Turning to AI, he notes build-out is capital- and energy-intensive and can be temporarily inflationary, but sees two longer-run outcomes that both lean disinflationary: a favorable productivity-driven supply shock, or a recessionary bust if AI disappoints. He concludes the dominant backdrop remains excess government debt and spending depressing growth. 00:00 Welcome and Setup 00:28 Inflation Beyond Headlines 02:23 The Disinflation Era 1990-2020 04:08 Lacy Hunt and Debt Dynamics 06:35 Was Globalization the Driver 09:15 Is Globalization Really Ending 12:23 AI as the New Productivity Wave 14:02 Funding the Buildout 15:11 Two AI Outcomes Deflation Either Way 19:19 Final Takeaways and Signoff Links mentioned in this episode: DividendCafe.com TheBahnsenGroup.com

Find us at www.crisisinvesting.com Doug and Matt discuss headlines and subscriber questions, starting with a survey claiming 30% of Americans admit to shoplifting and what that says about social trust, morality, and societal decline. They talk about New York's worsening conditions, Trump's announced Saudi nuclear deal and subsequent reversal, and a House-passed NDAA provision (Section 219) calling for deeper US-Israel military/intelligence integration, which they argue signals late-stage empire and foreign influence via AIPAC. They critique Trump's "golden age" claims, note rising yields and escalating Middle East and Ukraine-Russia risks, and comment on Trump family wealth. Q&A topics include Doug's favorite opera (Wagner, Gershwin), sci-fi recommendations (golden-age authors; The Diamond Age), whether digital assets/stablecoins can prolong the debt cycle, a film about vigilantism and mass migration, coal markets and coal's importance, Israel's actions and Gaza/Lebanon, and the possibility of deflation alongside inflation using entropy concepts. 00:00 Shoplifting Shock Stat 01:17 Thieves and Morality 03:58 Luxury Beliefs Debate 04:57 New York Backslide 06:53 Saudi Nuclear Deal 10:05 Israel Military Merger 14:17 America as an Idea 14:59 Trump Golden Age Clip 17:05 War Fears and Disillusion 19:27 Trump Family Windfall 20:30 Subscriber Opera Question 21:16 Wagner and Gershwin 22:33 Sci Fi Reading Picks 24:59 Debt Bubble and Stablecoins 30:19 Vigilante Citizen Talk 33:15 Coal Markets Explained 36:33 Israel Influence and Gaza 40:58 Econophysics and Deflation 45:19 Weekend Sign Off
When people hear the words *private credit stress*, they usually imagine small, struggling companies loaded with debt—businesses most investors have never heard of. They assume the damage will remain contained among risky borrowers, private-equity deals, and obscure funds. But that misses the real warning. The changing credit environment is already affecting companies perceived to be among the safest and strongest in the world.Eurodollar University's Money & Macro Analysis--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Learn more about Augusta Precious Metals and what they have to offer - including physical gold for IRA accounts - by going to: https://EurodollarGold.com or text EURO to 35052. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------If you want to see The Four Economic Regimes, and How to Position Your Portfolio for Each One, sign up here https://eurodollar-university.com/home-page----------------------------------------------------------------------------------https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DOX89C-2I_Ehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kVFPLv6ME-Ehttps://www.cnbc.com/video/2026/07/07/amazon-plans-to-raise-25-billion-in-bond-sale-sources-say.htmlhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e5qalXD-SWM.https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2026-07-07/amazon-returns-to-us-bond-market-to-fund-ai-infrastructure-buildhttps://www.reuters.com/legal/transactional/private-credit-boom-cools-lending-flows-slow-sharply-2026-06-05/https://www.pimco.com/us/en/insights/rupture-and-resiliencehttps://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2026-07-20/billionaire-mark-walter-s-firms-probed-by-federal-prosecutorshttps://www.eurodollar.universityTwitter: https://twitter.com/JeffSnider_EDUI'll also be active on Bravais Social - a new AI-centered social network designed for professionals and knowledge workers.

On May 9, 1873, as the Vienna Stock Exchange collapsed and thousands of speculators were wiped out in a single afternoon, young Salbert von Rothschild and two colleagues from the Schey and Goldschmidt banking families were nearly lynched on the floor of the exchange by infuriated stockjobbers and had to be rescued by police. That same evening, oblivious to the carnage a few hundred yards away, the Prince of Wales hosted a gala dinner at the Ministry of Finance, and the following night Emperor Franz Joseph served a state dinner for the assembled heirs to the royal thrones of Europe. Within months, the panic had crossed the Atlantic and destroyed Jay Cooke, the man who had single-handedly funded the Union's Civil War effort, shutting down the New York Stock Exchange for ten days. Today's guest is Liaquat Ahamed, author of 1873: The Rothschilds, the First Great Depression, and the Making of the Modern World. We discuss how the Rothschilds built their fortune smuggling gold across the English Channel during the Napoleonic Wars and became, relative to the size of the global economy, the richest family in history. We look at how Sultan Abdülaziz of the Ottoman Empire and Khedive Ismail of Egypt borrowed their nations into oblivion and were both destroyed for it, why the demonetization of silver was the most consequential economic blunder of the nineteenth century (Milton Friedman blamed it for the worst deflation in recorded history), and how a completely fabricated conspiracy theory about the Rothschilds bribing Congress sold 400,000 copies in the American heartland. Ahamed argues that the 1873 crisis created a twenty-year redistribution of wealth from farmers, workers, and small investors to the bankers most responsible for the crash, fueling populist movements that reshaped politics on every continent.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Is Kevin Warsh about to finally put money back in the Federal Reserve? That might sound like a strange question. After all, this is the Federal Reserve. It is supposed to be the center of the monetary system. Its officials set what they call monetary policy, testify before Congress about it, and issue statements filled with the word “monetary.” Yet, for decades, the Federal Reserve's most important policy discussions have contained no information about actual money.That may finally be starting to change.Eurodollar University's Money & Macro Analysis--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Learn more about Augusta Precious Metals and what they have to offer - including physical gold for IRA accounts - by going to: https://EurodollarGold.com or text EURO to 35052. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------If you want to see The Four Economic Regimes, and How to Position Your Portfolio for Each One, sign up here https://eurodollar-university.com/home-page----------------------------------------------------------------------------------https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=07cZsW54vO4https://www.federalreserve.gov/monetarypolicy/files/20260710_mprfullreport.pdfhttps://www.eurodollar.universityTwitter: https://twitter.com/JeffSnider_EDUI'll also be active on Bravais Social - a new AI-centered social network designed for professionals and knowledge workers.

Why are Bitcoin miners suddenly at the center of the AI infrastructure boom? Fred Thiel, CEO of MARA, explains "mullet data centers" — AI in the front, Bitcoin mining in the back — and why power is the bottom layer of Jensen Huang's AI pyramid. He details MARA's joint venture with Starwood, load-balancing technology that follows wind power in real time, and lessons from Bitcoin mining that now apply to hyperscale data centers.
The divergence between oil and gas prices is now historic, and one simple calculation explains everything. That calculation is at a record high, and it's not even close. What it shows is why gas remains so expensive and is likely to stay that way for some time even though prices have fallen substantially from their wartime peak. Even though demand for oil has plummeted, and I mean plunged in places like China, and it's not all that great elsewhere. So why are gasoline and diesel still so expensive?Eurodollar University's Money & Macro Analysis----------------------------------------------------------------------------------What if your gold could actually pay you every month… in MORE gold?That's exactly what Monetary Metals does.

India is once again scrambling for dollars, kind of begging for them. After spending months defending the rupee, the Reserve Bank of India is now offering generous support to banks to get them to raise foreign-currency deposits. They're being encouraged to get creative with it, everything from creating new products to using new digital channels. And, of course, the old school way of just jacking up the interest rate offer. All designed to get dollars into Indian hands. “Begging” might be a strong word, but only barely.Eurodollar University's Money & Macro Analysis--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Learn more about Augusta Precious Metals and what they have to offer - including physical gold for IRA accounts - by going to: https://EurodollarGold.com or text EURO to 35052. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------If you want to see The Four Economic Regimes, and How to Position Your Portfolio for Each One, sign up here https://eurodollar-university.com/home-page----------------------------------------------------------------------------------https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R03-x-Wmr7khttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KrVIwKnUkBchttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_jCp5wnM6Ighttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NF6bNaq2hVYhttps://www.eurodollar.universityTwitter: https://twitter.com/JeffSnider_EDUI'll also be active on Bravais Social - a new AI-centered social network designed for professionals and knowledge workers.

What's the difference between recession and depression? Most people understandably think a depression is just a really bad recession. But that's not the case. These are in many ways two profoundly different circumstances. Think of it his way. A recession is a storm. A depression is a complete change in the climate. A recession is when the economy temporarily falls down. A depression is when it can't really get back, realizing the old world is gone and maybe for good.

He also addresses whether free-market economies have a natural tendency toward price deflation under a commodity standard, why the stock-versus-flow distinction matters for understanding gold production and the price level, and how to distinguish "bad" policy-induced monetary deflation from the "good" price deflation that accompanies genuine productivity growth.Related:Patrick Newman, "The Depression of 1873-1879: An Austrian Perspective": Mises.org/HAP558aClarence Long, "The Course of Money Wages during 1860-1890": Mises.org/HAP558bBob's Understanding Money Mechanics: Mises.org/HAP558cBob's Article, "Hayek's Plan for Private Money": Mises.org/HAP558dThe Charts Shown in this Episode: Mises.org/HAP558e

And no — it's not because some hedge fund in New York borrowed a few billion yen and YOLO'd it into U.S. Treasuries. That's the cartoon version of the carry trade. That's the version financial media repeats because it sounds simple: borrow cheap yen, buy higher-yielding assets overseas, yen goes down.

PepsiCo just reported earnings. And buried inside a perfectly standard corporate press release was one of the most important sentences you'll hear about the American economy this year. CEO Ramon Laguarta said, and I'm quoting directly here: *"I think the consumer is worse than what we had anticipated, and it's driven mainly by gas prices."*That's not a fringe analyst. That's the chief executive of one of the largest consumer goods companies on the planet, a company that sells beverages and snacks to hundreds of millions of Americans every single quarter, telling you directly: something has changed. For one thing, credit card use dropped sharply, as we'll see.

Robert Feldman and Michael Gapen discuss how AI could reshape growth, labor markets and productivity in the U.S. and Japan.Read more insights from Morgan Stanley.----- Transcript -----Robert Feldman: Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Robert Feldman, Senior Advisor at Morgan Stanley MUFG Securities in Tokyo. Michael Gapen: And I'm Michael Gapen, Morgan Stanley's Chief U.S. Economist. Robert Feldman: Today, we'll discuss why the U.S. and Japanese economies may react differently to the AI productivity test. It's Thursday, July 9th at 8 pm in Tokyo. Michael Gapen: And 9 am in New York. Robert Feldman: AI is the biggest theme around the world right now, but AI will play out differently in different economies. Take the cases of the U.S. and Japan. In the U.S., it's already a catalyst in investment, imports, productivity, and the labor market outlook. But here in Japan, it's seen as a savior for an economy with an intense labor shortage, low unemployment, and very little room to raise labor force participation. Mike, in the U.S., AI's contribution to real GDP growth will rise from about 0.05 percentage points in 2024 to an estimated 0.43 percentage points in 2027. What does that mean for markets? Michael Gapen: Well, Robby, I think it, it means a number of things, but, you know, I'm an economist, so the answer is always, "It depends." I think the real crux of the issue over time in the U.S., and therefore what it means for financial markets, is ultimately whether AI is labor replacing – and pushes the unemployment rate higher. Or it acts like a more traditional general-purpose technology that's labor augmenting. So, if, that's the case, meaning it looks similar to the internet and digital era, then it would mean faster output growth, stronger productivity growth, but still an economy that's running at or near full employment. That would be very beneficial in our estimation for risk assets, equity markets, credit markets, and it would probably mean that we stay in an interest rate environment that's certainly higher than it was during the post GFC period. But if – AI is a very different technology than we've seen in the past, and it displaces labor, and we get increases in the unemployment rate as AI diffuses through the economy. Then it could be very different for markets. Maybe returns to capital and equity markets are supported, but that might be more narrowly for technology stocks and not broader, say, consumer discretionary stocks. So, the answer, of course, is it depends. We don't know. And I think, ultimately, we come down on the side of thinking that AI will not create dystopian outcomes in the labor markets, that employment will hold up. So, we have a fairly constructive view, perhaps an optimistic view. And we think, ultimately it'll benefit markets greatly, similar to what we saw from the mid-90s to the early 2000's. Robert Feldman: Well, in your model, you have a particular variable that captures the speed of diffusion. But your baseline has AI spreading twice as fast as the internet did. But without that rise of employment. Is that really manageable? And if it's not, what economic indicators would warn us, if we're crossing into the danger zone? Michael Gapen: This is really the tricky part as, as you know. We have a new technology. We have to model how it diffuses through the economy. And I would say I think there's an argument here that penetration rates and usage rates are very different than what economists think about diffusion, which is how the production process is reshaped because of this new technology. And so most economists look at the internet and digital era and think it took 20-25 years to fully diffuse. Mass penetration in maybe 10 years, but full diffusion in more like 20-25 years. And so, each innovation cycle tends to happen more rapidly. So, I do think AI will spread more rapidly. And even by saying it spreads twice as fast as the internet did still means that it'll take roughly a decade, maybe 10-12 years for this to fully diffuse. So, our argument here would be that that is enough time for a flexible economy and a flexible labor market, like we have in the U.S., to rebalance labor. But if we're wrong, then Robby, what I think you will see is that as AI rolls through, it diffuses faster. And what we would see then is increases in rates of job separation and layoffs that would overwhelm the labor market's ability to reallocate workers. So, I think we would see two things – or three things: scale layoffs, a rise in the unemployment rate, and probably a significant amount of underemployment. Those who get rebalanced may be rebalanced into work that's not, say, consistent with the skill of that worker. So, I think we would see a very disrupted labor market in the process. But if it takes a decade, maybe 10-12 years, we think ultimately the U.S. economy is flexible enough to rebalance labor without large scale layoffs. Robert Feldman: Now, people are afraid of a lot of things, but one other thing is that AI might create new kinds of jobs, new kinds of tasks, have different impacts on people's wealth, and different responses from policymakers as well. How do these knock-on effects change the AI labor story? Michael Gapen: Yeah. That's right. I think you make a very good point there that I think it's easy to fall into what an economist would call a partial equilibrium trap. So, for example, we look at occupations exposed to AI task replacement, and we say, "Wow, if all these tasks are replaced, we might lose 10 million workers or 20 million workers." But that's too simplistic, in our view. Because as you note, AI may destroy some tasks or replace some tasks, but it's also going to create new ones. So, it may eliminate some types of occupations but create others. And in addition, if people are, say, laid off because of AI, you get a loss in labor market income for the economy. But AI will likely create returns to capital, say, stronger equity performance, and that's an indirect wealth effect. So, our model kind of, looks at, say, three wedges or three horse races in the economy then. It's about the speed of diffusion of AI against the ability of the labor market to rebalance. It's task destruction or task replacement versus new task creation. And then third, it's we might have weakness in labor market income in the short run, but there are indirect wealth effects. So, thinking about it this way in a richer general equilibrium context, these feedback effects matter a lot. So, the combination of if the labor market's disrupted, we get easing in monetary policy, maybe a fiscal response. There are new tasks, new jobs that are created for workers to rebalance to over time. And overall demand in the economy gets held up because wealth effects can offset some lost income. All of that is extremely important in our view that ultimately the U.S. economy can rebalance and handle the AI diffusion in a manageable way. We could be wrong, of course, but our main point here is you have to think about this in a richer context. You can't just simply, say, stack up workers and occupations and say, "Oh, we're going to lose a lot of employment." That's not the way innovation waves have worked in the past. We don't think they're going to work that way in the future. Robert Feldman: Mm-hmm. That's fascinating because the situation in the United States is so different from that in Japan, largely because of the demographic situation. Here in Japan, the key element is how much AI can ease the labor shortage. In fact, in some labor-intensive jobs now, we're seeing 6 percent wage increases, and that's great. As long as productivity rises fast enough that price hikes aren't necessary. Michael Gapen: So Robby, in your scenarios for Japan, the same 10 percent productivity gain can lead to very different outcomes. Deflation and weaker employment in one case. More inflation, higher wages, and more employment in another. What do you think drives the difference? Robert Feldman: Mm-hmm. Well, the crucial element really is the flexibility of goods and labor markets. With high flexibility, you get higher GDP, higher employment, and moderate inflation. With low flexibility, you may get a bit higher GDP, but employment plunges, and there's deflation of both prices and wages – more in wages. Now, in Japan, over the last two decades, we've seen monopoly power in key markets go down. For example, agriculture and energy. Labor markets are more flexible too, but lifetime employment system still applies to about two-thirds of the economy. And that deters people from trying to find better jobs and even from acquiring the skills needed for a new job. Michael Gapen: What conditions are needed for AI to be additive to Japan's economy? Robert Feldman: We need more reskilling. Japan is lucky because people are healthy, and they want to work into their 70s and beyond. But acquiring the skills to remain productive is a challenge, even though Japan's workforce is well-educated and still has a strong work ethic. So, to sum up, in the U.S., the race is between diffusion and absorption. But in Japan it's between labor scarcity and productivity. Is that fair? Michael Gapen: It is fair, and we come down on the side of optimism. We think diffusion will happen fast, but it'll happen at a pace that the U.S. economy can handle. So, we come down having a positive view overall. We do not lean in the direction of dystopian labor market outcomes. Robert Feldman: Mm-hmm. I agree with that as well for Japan. So, Mike, thanks for taking the time to talk. Michael Gapen: Great speaking with you, Robby-san. Robert Feldman: And thanks for listening, everyone.

HSBC just did something that should make everyone in credit markets stop and ask one very uncomfortable question. If there is nothing to worry about with private credit…why is one of world's biggest banks pulling back from funding the funds that make it work? According to reporting from the Financial Times, HSBC has told some private credit borrowers that it will not renew their credit facilities. It is also refusing to provide “back leverage” to riskier funds. In plain English, HSBC is pulling back bigtime.Eurodollar University's Money & Macro Analysis----------------------------------------------------------------------------------What if your gold could actually pay you every month… in MORE gold?That's exactly what Monetary Metals does.

Walmart is cutting prices on thousands of products, not doing the Fed's inflation theory any favors. Coca-Cola. Pepsi. Laundry detergent. Lawn mowers. You name it. This is great news for consumers who have been hit with the gasoline shock. Here we have the biggest retailer in America lowering prices. The real story, though, is why Walmart is doing it. We've been warned by the markets and curves about what would happen once the tax refund money ran dry.

We just got a couple major updates that are connect some more dots on what is the biggest story in the global economy, all connecting to China. The oil market has undergone a radical – and I mean radical – change over the past few weeks. It first showed up last Thursday and is still going her today. Earlier this morning, Saudi Arabia comes out with a big announcement it is cutting the benchmark price of its oil for the first time since 2020. Those two together implicate Chinese oil demand and therefore its economy.

Today, we're looking at one of the most intense and surprising signals coming out of global markets right now: the oil curve has gone almost perfectly flat. That may sound technical, but it is a huge development. In a normal shortage environment, especially after the kind of historic supply disruption and record backwardation we just saw, near-term oil should trade at a sustained premium. Instead, in the space of just weeks, that curve has collapsed, twisting into a shape that is on the cusp of saying there's too much oil.Eurodollar University's conversation w/Steve Van Metre--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Learn more about Augusta Precious Metals and what they have to offer - including physical gold for IRA accounts - by going to: https://EurodollarGold.com or text EURO to 35052. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------Webinar June 2026: Why Smart Investors Keep Missing Every Major Economic Turning PointIt isn't that they're buying the wrong assets.

The private credit bust is now starting to spread into AI and the AI buildout which up to now has been mostly financed by these shadow banks. The reason for it spreading is simple – the run on the shadow banks hasn't abated at all, with our favorite sad bird the latest to disclose laughably huge withdrawal requests. The danger for AI has always been the almost unlimited money it required to reach full capacity running out.Eurodollar University's Money & Macro Analysis----------------------------------------------------------------------------------What if your gold could actually pay you every month… in MORE gold?That's exactly what Monetary Metals does.
