Upthinking Finance™ is now trademarked We welcome back Julia C. Hermann, Global Market Strategist at New York Life Investments, for a wide-ranging conversation on the 2026 economic outlook. We're discussing the key macro trends shaping the future, from the ongoing AI boom and its comparison to the dot-com era, to the Federal Reserve's policy moves, the impact of tariffs and inflation, and the fast-evolving global geopolitical landscape.Julia offers a balanced perspective, exploring why the current environment may feel at odds with headlines about global chaos, and how investors can think about risk, portfolio construction, and opportunities in this unique moment. The discussion covers everything from the intricacies of bond-market risks and Fed independence to energy markets, Japan's financial experiment, and the emerging role of China on the world stage.You will want to hear this episode if you are interested in...03:34 Navigating global economic uncertainty.07:35 AI investment and tax incentives.11:17 Fed independence and Powell's influence.18:30 Inflation driven by housing costs.26:09 Global economies wrestle with debt.27:59 Japan's tenuous reflation experiment.33:01 Fed influence vs market rates.35:52 AI and US-China dynamics.38:12 Focus on diversification and quality.Is the AI Boom Hype or Here to Stay?Many are quick to compare today's AI surge to the dot-com bubble of the late ‘90s. However, Julia draws a firm line between the two. In the dot-com era, overvaluation was driven by hope in unproven business models. This time, it's established tech giants, think Magnificent Seven, NVIDIA, etc., that are at the forefront.The current rally is grounded in real earnings, not just speculative future growth. These companies are reinvesting 50-60% of operating cash flow into capital expenditures, especially in AI infrastructure. Plus, recent fiscal legislation, like the One Big Beautiful Bill, supercharges this by reintroducing immediate expensing of capital investment, encouraging more spending and innovation. That depth and durability make a near-term AI bubble burst unlikely.Inflation, Bond Markets, and the Limits of PredictionInflation fears remain front and center for many investors. Despite headlines and some price increases from tariffs and supply disruptions, the full picture is more complicated. Inflation is broader than goods alone, with shelter costs making up about 45% of the inflation basket and being the major story over the past year. Energy prices have actually provided relief, with increases in some goods more than offset elsewhere.When it comes to fixed income, Julia n remains cautious about “adding duration”, a stance held even as long-term rates surprised many by coming down during 2025. The Fed's Role, Policy Independence, and Market CommunicationA change in Federal Reserve leadership doesn't necessarily mean the end of balanced monetary policy. The Fed chair is influential, but decisions require consensus from the Federal Open Market Committee. What the chair does control, however, is messaging.Ever since Greenspan's celebrity status and Bernanke's implementation of greater transparency, communication...

X: @JCats2013 @ileaderssummit @americasrt1776 @NatashaSrdoc @JoelAnandUSA @supertalk @JTitMVirginia Join America's Roundtable (https://americasrt.com/) radio co-hosts Natasha Srdoc and Joel Anand Samy with John Catsimatidis, a leading national business figure and senior lay leader in the Greek Orthodox Church community. John Catsimatidis is the Chairman and CEO, The Red Apple Group and Owner of the Iconic 77 WABC Radio in New York City. The Red Apple Group is a conglomerate that owns and operates assets in the energy, real estate, finance, insurance, and supermarket industries. 77 WABC Radio is heard in 50 states and 173 countries. John is the author of Wall Street Journal Bestseller and Publishers Weekly Bestseller — “How Far Do You Want to Go: Lessons from a Common-Sense Billionaire.” As a leading American entrepreneur, John Catsimatidis will provide insights into the state of the US economy as inflation drops, nationwide gas prices fall under $2.80 per gallon and rent prices coming down. John will explain how free market principles applied by House Republicans in Congress with President Trump's "The One, Big, Beautiful Bill" will cut taxes for Americans earning under $50,000 by 14.9%. John will also highlight the benefits for 4 million tipped workers like waitresses, barbers, hairstylists, and taxi drivers who will not pay taxes on tips. For those working overtime - once again, this group of hard-working Americans will not be taxed on overtime. A major savings and great benefit for senior citizens who will not have to pay taxes on social security. Natasha Srdoc and John Catsimatidis discuss key economic data of economic growth rates and how changes at the Federal Reserve Bank may usher in an era of lower interest rates that will further help working families. Joel Anand and John Catsimatidis discuss the major fraud and money laundering unveiled in Minnesota with federal taxpayer funds abused. According to published reports: "A Minnesota safety net program was so easy to scam, it attracted tourists, Assistant U.S. Attorney Joe Thompson said Thursday. The extent of fraud in Minnesota human services programs — which has become infamous across the country — is even higher than the public knew. Providers in 14 “high-risk,” state-run Medicaid programs being audited by the state have billed $18 billion since 2018, and “half or more” is possibly fraudulent, Thompson said." The conversation on America's Roundtable will also focus on the horrific terrorist attack in Sydney, Australia, with 15 innocent civilians murdered and over 40 injured as the Jewish community gathered for the first day of Hanukkah. The brazen manifestation of anti-Semitism in the West, including America is brought to the forefront. The concerns of the waves of socialism battering America will be highlighted as the Democratic Party becomes more influenced by the Democratic Socialist Party's agenda which pushes communism and socialism, dangerous ideologies that have failed and left billions of people around the world in poverty. The conversation will also bring to the forefront economic forecasts for 2026 and what Americans can expect in the New Year. americasrt.com (https://americasrt.com/) https://ileaderssummit.org/ | https://jerusalemleaderssummit.com/ America's Roundtable on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/americas-roundtable/id1518878472 X: @JCats2013 @ileaderssummit @americasrt1776 @NatashaSrdoc @JoelAnandUSA @supertalk @JTitMVirginia America's Roundtable is co-hosted by Natasha Srdoc and Joel Anand Samy, co-founders of International Leaders Summit and the Jerusalem Leaders Summit.

Since late August, Oregon has been facing a $373 million budget deficit. But now, the state’s latest economic forecast shows Oregon may only be about $63 million in the hole. A brightening picture for the nation’s economy and some higher-than-expected corporate tax revenues for the state helped close the gap. But that doesn’t tell us much about the health of Oregon’s economy, as the recent government shutdown hampered the collection and release of important economic data. Oregon state economist Carl Riccadonna joins us to make sense of the latest forecast.

“I was just thinking today.. whether I should put everything in gold and silver,” says Dr. Marc Faber, editor of the Gloom, Boom & Doom Report. In today's interview, Faber argues liquidity is flooding the system, fueling speculation in everything from stocks to crypto while crushing the middle class with soaring living costs. “Throughout 5,000 years of history, governments have always chosen the same path — they print. And believe me, under Mr. Trump the deficit will go up substantially. He's a money printer.” Faber explains why official inflation numbers are “a joke,” why cash and bonds are “the worst instruments to hold,” and why individuals must act before governments do: “I still recommend everyone, everywhere, to accumulate gold gradually. Between 20% and 40% of your wealth should be in precious metals.” Watch how he plans to preserve his wealth in these tumultuous times.✅ FREE RESOURCESDownload The Private Wealth Playbook — a data-backed guide to strategically acquiring gold and silver for maximum protection, privacy, and performance.

An independent central bank is the key to providing credibility to its monetary policy choices; credibility which anchors inflation expectations and allows a central bank to manage the demand-side of the economy and meet its mandate. In this episode of All the Credit®, we highlight the importance of central bank independence, discussing its significance, potential threats, and the implications of political interference—particularly in the context of the U.S. Federal Reserve. PGIM's Tom Porcelli, Deputy Head of Global Economics and Chief U.S. Economist, hosts this discussion with Daleep Singh, Vice Chair and Chief Global Economist, and Katharine Neiss, PhD, Deputy Head of Global Economics and Chief European Economist. Recorded on August 5, 2025.
The International Monetary Fund has raised its global growth forecast for 2025, with China getting the strongest boost among major economies. The IMF now projects China's economy to grow by 4.8 percent this year, up from its four percent forecast in April's World Economic Outlook. Why is the IMF upgrading China's economic forecast? To what extent is the rebound in China's growth tied to fundamentals, versus external factors like the tariff truce with the U.S.? What sectors of China's economy are likely fueling this upward revision?

On Tuesday's show: Last week, two economists spoke out about the impact of Trump economic policy on Houston. One said to expect a recession by the summer. But the other offered a much sunnier forecast. Could they both be right? Or both be wrong? Do economists really know what they're talking about? We talk it over.Also this hour: Many industries face an uncertain future with the back-and-forth on tariffs. What about the energy industry in Houston? And how is the Texas Legislature playing a role in all of this? Houston Chronicle columnist Chris Tomlinson shares some of his thoughts on the subject.Then, we learn about Free for All: The Public Library, a new documentary chronicling the evolution of the American public library, from the original “Free Library Movement” in the late 19th century to the present, when many libraries find themselves caught in the crosshairs of the culture wars and struggling to survive amid budget cuts and closures. Director Dawn Logsdon talks about her film, which airs tonight at 9 on Houston Public Media, TV 8.And Texas poet Ebony Stewart discusses her newest collection called “WASH.”
Economists warned about an economic slowdown on the horizon for most countries around the world in the wake of century-high US tariffs. European, Ukrainian and U.S. officials meet in London for peace talks on Russia's war on Ukraine, and crowds began lining up at Saint Peter's Basilica in the Vatican to pay their last respects to Pope Francis.Want more comprehensive analysis of the most important news of the day, plus a little fun?

In this episode of Uncommon Sense with Ginny Robinson, I'm giving my take (to the best of my ability—because I'm not a tariff expert and neither are most of the people chiming in right now) on Trump's gutsy new tariff move. It's the one that's got half the country cheering and the other half clutching their pearls. While the media yells “economic suicide,” I'm here to suggest that this strategy might actually work—but not overnight. We'll talk about the possibility of long-term gain, the reality of short-term discomfort, and the cultural obsession with instant results when what's often required is patience. I will also go over our collective short attention spans and why longer attention spans are needed for understanding complex issues like this. Every answer won't fit in a 15 second soundbite. At the end of the day, we'll have to pray, wait, and see. Some of the smartest plays take time to unfold.—https://noblegoldinvestments.com/learn/gold-and-silver-guide/?utm_campaign=21243613394&utm_source=g&utm_medium=cpc&utm_content=&utm_term=noble%20gold&seg_aprod=&ad_id=698073353663&oid=2&affid=1&utm_source=google&affiliate_source=googleads_brand_bmbc&utm_term=noble%20gold&gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAADQ2DzJSJ_mi5cJo8dO2FNUs7uNy-&gclid=CjwKCAjwktO_BhBrEiwAV70jXtjSCyioSM2Hz1McTAlR3f8t3KCDDN3-XBWLaIzwJmiEGe0ztxIk5RoCnM0QAvD_BwE

On this episode of Next Level CRE, Matt Faircloth interviews Dave Meyer, Head of Real Estate Investing at BiggerPockets and host of multiple BP podcasts. Dave shares his expert analysis on why mortgage rates haven't dropped despite Fed cuts, explaining how bond yields and inflation fears are keeping rates elevated. He predicts residential real estate will continue seeing price appreciation due to severe supply constraints, with homeowners "trapped" by their low-rate mortgages unwilling to sell. Dave also discusses his international living experience in Amsterdam, his personal investment approach focusing on long-term rentals rather than active operations, and why he believes investors should prioritize finding clarity in their goals over chasing door count. Throughout the conversation, both investors emphasize that meaningful success comes from enjoying the journey and being deliberate about your investment strategy rather than pursuing someone else's definition of achievement.
