Bob Elliott joins Cem Karsan and Niels Kaastrup-Larsen for a conversation about what happens when strong economic data masks a deeper structural shift. The income engine still runs, but tariffs, labor scarcity, and immigration limits are quietly rewiring the system. Inflation may not fall the way people expect. Profit margins may not hold. And capital may start flowing away from the US for the first time in a generation. This isn't a cycle call. It's a question of what kind of economy we are becoming—and whether portfolios built for the past can survive what's coming.-----50 YEARS OF TREND FOLLOWING BOOK AND BEHIND-THE-SCENES VIDEO FOR ACCREDITED INVESTORS - CLICK HERE-----Follow Niels on Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube or via the TTU website.IT's TRUE ? – most CIO's read 50+ books each year – get your FREE copy of the Ultimate Guide to the Best Investment Books ever written here.And you can get a free copy of my latest book “Ten Reasons to Add Trend Following to Your Portfolio” here.Learn more about the Trend Barometer here.Send your questions to info@toptradersunplugged.comAnd please share this episode with a like-minded friend and leave an honest Rating & Review on iTunes or Spotify so more people can discover the podcast.Follow Cem on Twitter.Follow Bob on Twitter.Episode TimeStamps: 02:58 - Revisiting the Income Driven Expansion12:30 - Inflation Dynamics and Economic Policy15:31 - The Dynamics of Labor and Immigration27:58 - Strategic Decoupling and Its Implications32:04 - The Economic Implications of Manufacturing in China42:13 - Economic Growth and Market Dynamics48:28 - The Evolving Landscape of Investment Strategies53:25 - Understanding Alpha Strategies and Portfolio Diversification01:01:10 - The Dynamics of Hedge Fund Strategies and Correlation01:09:34 - Global Macro Trends and Financial DecouplingCopyright © 2024 – CMC AG – All Rights Reserved----PLUS: Whenever you're ready... here are 3 ways I can help

Joe Brusuelas says sharp jumps in crude oil could cause ripple effects across the entire U.S. economy expecting "higher inflation, higher gasoline, lower growth." Later, Joe discusses his firm's U.S. Middle Market Business Index results which showed the 2nd largest quarter-over-quarter decline it in its 10-year history. He discusses the "bite" of tariff hikes and what economic "shocks" remain, as investors await clarity from trade talks and the ramifications of escalation in the Middle East.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

Ben Ayers reacts to the May PPI coming in cooler than expected, arguing that the huge run in imports in 1Q before tariffs were in place is about to run out. However, companies seem to be bearing the brunt of tariff costs, so he thinks that we could see a smaller bump in prices this summer than otherwise. Higher prices will slow growth, and uncertainty about prices is also hampering growth, Ben says, but doesn't expect the U.S. to hit recession.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – https://twitter.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/schwab-network/About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

Victor Davis Hanson analyzes why the Trump budget may be triggering a quiet economic reboot on this episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.” “ The economy is doing very, very well. And a lot of it is the expectation of the things that are in process. The $10 trillion of foreign investment. This extensions of the tax cuts. Incentives for investment, in the new budget. “ Especially with the economy, it's being rebooted. It's being redirected in ways that economists are not even able to figure out. Because, we haven't done this before. And the net result might be that we're going to make progress both in the expansion of the economy and through growth in federal revenues cut down these deficits.” (0:00) Introduction: The Trump Budget in the Senate (0:03) Fiscal Debates and Tax Cuts (1:56) Economic Indicators and Market Reactions (2:47) Trade Deficits and Border Policies (3:46) Economic Growth and Federal Revenue (5:28)Revolutionary Developments in the Economy (5:56) Conclusion and Final Thoughts
Revisiting U.S.-China Relations: Manufacturing, Tariffs, and Opportunities with John LingWelcome to another episode of the Asia Business Podcast. This week, we're joined by John Ling, Managing Director at LinVest Consulting. John has a wealth of experience in facilitating inbound foreign investment into the United States, particularly from China. As the dynamics between the US and China continue to evolve, John provides an essential perspective on the current state of manufacturing investments and the impact of tariffs on these decisions.Connect with JohnVisit LinVestA Glimpse into the US-China Tariff LandscapeIn light of ongoing trade tensions, tariffs have become a significant factor influencing Chinese companies' decisions to manufacture in the US. John explains that while tariffs are a considerable consideration, they are by no means the sole driver for Chinese investments. Other critical factors include supply chain stability and the state of overcapacity within China. This comprehensive approach has led many Chinese companies to view the US as a lucrative market opportunity.Historical Context and Current TrendsJohn delves into the history of Chinese investments in the US, reminiscing about the pioneers who dared to establish manufacturing operations in America decades ago. This historical context provides a backdrop to current trends, where meaningful Chinese investment projects are increasingly commonplace. Despite political headwinds and the complexities of US tariff policies, many projects have thrived, demonstrating the long-term profitability of these ventures.Challenges and Strategic AdaptationsDespite the challenges posed by tariffs, especially those reaching as high as 145% on certain products, Chinese companies have found innovative ways to adapt. For instance, some have capitalized on their operational excellence and responsiveness to customer demands. This adaptability has allowed them to maintain competitiveness in the US market, often outpacing domestic peers in terms of quality and pricing.Joint Ventures and Local PartnershipsAn interesting development noted by John is the growing openness among Chinese investors to consider joint ventures and partnerships in the US. This trend mirrors the historical path taken by US companies entering China and is seen as a strategic move to mitigate risks and foster cooperation. Such collaborations hold promise in bridging cultural and operational gaps, benefiting both parties involved.Policy and Incentive LandscapeWhile some may have anticipated increased incentives from state and federal governments, the reality is more nuanced. John emphasizes that decisions to invest should not rely solely on incentives but rather on broader strategic considerations. Nonetheless, a fair and stable political environment remains crucial for planning significant capital investments.Forecasting Future DevelopmentsLooking forward, John remains optimistic about the potential for improved US-China relations, driven by mutual benefits and strategic interests. He speculates that as governments engage in negotiations, more opportunities for Chinese manufacturing projects in the US may arise. This could mirror the path taken by Japanese companies decades ago, fostering better understanding and trust between nations.Conclusion and Contact InformationIn closing, the conversation with John Ling sheds light on the intricate interplay of tariffs, strategic adaptation, and international partnerships shaping the manufacturing landscape between China and the US. For those interested in further insights or potential collaborations, John is accessible via LinkedIn or through LinVest LLC.

Australia's economic growth slows down in the first quarter of this year, Gaza's aid centres temporarily close after a third deadly incident in as many days; and in sport, excitement ahead of the Socceroos game against Japan.
The world will see lower economic growth due to tariffs and tariff uncertainty, according to the OECD. Global economic growth will fall below three percent this year, and the slowdown is expected to be most concentrated in the U.S., Canada, Mexico and China. Also on the program: how steel and aluminum tariffs could drive up grocery prices, and the economic pros and cons of a small-market NBA Finals.
In this engaging conversation, Donny and former Speaker of the House, Newt Gingrich discuss a range of topics centered around Trump's policies, economic growth, and the current political landscape. They explore the implications of tax cuts for middle-class families, the challenges of the deficit, and the importance of strength in leadership. The discussion also touches on U.S.-Israel relations, the Gaza conflict, and the rise of anti-Semitism. Gingrich emphasizes the need for bipartisanship and offers insights into the future of the Democratic Party. Takeaways The Congressional Budget Office often underestimates tax revenue. Economic growth is crucial for addressing the deficit. Tax cuts can benefit middle-class families if passed. Trump's strength resonates with many Americans. Controversial actions can overshadow positive achievements. The U.S. must take a strong stance against Iran. Hamas must be dealt with decisively to ensure security. Anti-Semitism is a persistent issue that needs addressing. Bipartisanship is essential for effective governance. The Democratic Party faces challenges in appealing to young males.

The nuclear industry and its boosters promise clean, abundant energy, but nuclear power delivers expensive electricity while posing catastrophic radiation risks and a constant threat of nuclear war. M. V. Ramana, physicist and author of Nuclear is Not the Solution, explains why respecting the limits of the biosphere means reducing our energy use and rejecting elites' push for endless growth. Highlights include: Why nuclear energy is inherently risky due to its complex, tightly coupled systems that are prone to catastrophic failures that can't be predicted or prevented; Why nuclear waste poses long-term threats to all life by remaining dangerously radioactive for thousands of years, with no safe, permanent disposal solution and frequent storage failures; Why nuclear energy is expensive, with projects routinely running over budget and behind schedule; Why the expansion of nuclear energy increases the likelihood of devastating nuclear war; How climate change and war-time accidents or direct targeting increase the risks of nuclear catastrophe; Why nuclear Uranium mining and its wastes often require ‘sacrifice zones' that are disproportionately found in indigenous land and less powerful communities; How the nuclear industry shapes nuclear policy and debate by capturing regulators and creating an energy ‘panic' based on one-sided narratives that block democratic discussion and scrutiny; Why, despite the hype from the nuclear industry, new nuclear plant designs like small modular reactors are subject to the same cost and safety concerns as the old designs; Why the best answer to dealing with renewable energy's variability is not nuclear or fossil fuels but reducing demand; Why renewable energy is no panacea for planetary overshoot and why we need to have a broadly democratic conversation about living within the limits of the planet.

The podcast explores needed narrative, behavioral, and system shifts for recreating human life in balance with all life on Earth. With expert guests from wide-ranging disciplines, we examine the forces underlying overshoot: from patriarchal pronatalism that is fueling overpopulation, to growth-biased economic systems that lead to consumerism and social injustice, to the dominant worldview of human supremacy that subjugates animals and nature. Our vision of shrinking toward abundance inspires us to seek pathways of transformation that go beyond technological fixes toward a new humanity that honors our interconnectedness with all beings.

Explosive growth in the middle class, rapid urbanization, digitization and automation, the energy transition, and evolving geopolitics — these all present unique challenges for today's businesses, said Jonathan Fantini-Porter, senior vice president of social impact in the Americas at Mastercard Center for Inclusive Growth. It's against this backdrop that public and private sector leaders are grappling with questions of longevity, opportunity, and continued growth. With this in mind, Mastercard Center for Inclusive Growth and Devex convened over 400 practitioners from the fields of tech, policy, and finance last month in Washington, D.C., for the Global Inclusive Growth Summit. The sessions and conversation centered on what it takes to create and lead economic growth, how to future-proof an organization's mission, and the role of innovative leadership in shaping a better future. “The key is the shared urgency around how we future-proof inclusive growth … and the importance of cross-sector collaboration at scale,” said Fantini-Porter. “Siloed solutions just aren't enough in this context that we're living through at this point.” Taking that conversation beyond the summit, Fantini-Porter talks to Raj Kumar, Devex's president and editor-in-chief, in a special podcast episode about how businesses — especially small businesses in rural areas — can create resilience in their communities and support economic opportunities for all. This special episode of This week in Global Development was sponsored by the Mastercard Center for Inclusive Growth.
The tourism sector may play an increasingly important role in supporting long-term economic growth. That's according to the latest SME Monitor published today by Banking and Payments Federation of Ireland. Irish GDP grew by over 13 per cent in the first quarter of the year, largely driven by medical and pharmaceutical exports. Brian Hayes, Chief Executive of the BPFI, says the tourism sector could help to keep employment high... Alan has been speaking about this with Mark Nolan, President of the Shannon Chamber, former managing director of Dromoland Castle Hotel. Alan first asked Mark if he thought the tourism sector can realistically compensate for potential economic hits to high-value industries like medical and pharma, especially in terms of jobs and wages... To explore this further, Alan Morrissey was joined by Owner at Doolin Inn, Anthony Moloney. Photo(C): studioroman via canva

Diversify your economic base beyond traditional anchors; Sacramento moved beyond government dependence to semiconductors, clean tech, and agricultural research. Position your community as a second-tier market alternative to expensive primary markets, offering similar talent and infrastructure at better cost basis. Use data-driven decision making to guide your economic development strategy and demonstrate measurable results to stakeholders. Build strong board governance early; invest time in assembling committed leaders who can provide stability and strategic direction. Target emerging sectors where your region has natural advantages; Sacramento capitalized on its research universities and proximity to Silicon Valley for semiconductor development. Develop compelling narratives around your community's diversity and quality of life as competitive advantages for business attraction. Address infrastructure and utilities proactively as foundational elements for sector-specific development strategies. Embrace your role as an "underdog city champion"; sometimes the most rewarding opportunities are in communities others overlook. Focus on long-term relationship building and community trust, understanding that transformational economic development takes years to achieve and sustain. Special Guest: Barry Broome.

Investing in youth and education aligns directly with Sustainable Development Goal # 4 (Quality Education) and indirectly fuels several others like Decent Work and Economic Growth (goal # 8) and Reduced Inequalities (goal # 10). This perspective reinforces how crucial it is to view sustainability as not just environmental, but deeply tied to social and economic development. It takes a village is a common expression, used by so many to essentially mean…we all need to lift one another up to attain the most robust society for long-term sustainability Lifting up any society often begins with opportunities that offer economic sustainability - those opportunities can only be realized when individuals are schooled and trained. If we don't invest in our youth, we are essentially saying that the next generation isn't worth the investment…what does that say about sustainability? What does that say about building competition that creates a landscape of creativity and forward-thinking products and services? Domestic violence and Early pregnancies among young girls are rampant in communities and are caused by poverty and unemployment forcing families to lack basic needs.

Critical shipping routes around the world, from the Panama Canal to the Bosphorus Strait, hold strategic importance for global trade. As a result, these chokepoints are often caught in the crosshairs of geopolitical competition. But in a new age of economic warfare, invisible chokepoints are also emerging. The dominance of the US dollar, economic sanctions, and tariffs on imported goods can all be leveraged to achieve political goals. Meanwhile, nations are laying out plans to increase defense spending—potentially altering the outlook for productivity, industrial activity, and economic growth. With economic warfare becoming a lasting feature of the investment environment, new winners and losers based on country, region, sector and asset class could emerge. This episode of The Outthinking Investor explores how economic warfare, national security concerns, and friend-shoring in global trade are creating new implications for investors to consider. Our guests are: Edward Fishman, senior research scholar at Columbia University's Center on Global Energy Policy and author of the new book, “Chokepoints: American Power in the Age of Economic Warfare” Katharine Neiss, PGIM Fixed Income's Deputy Head of Global Economics and Chief European Economist Jeff Rathke, President of the American-German Institute at Johns Hopkins University and former American diplomat Do you have any comments, suggestions, or topics you would like us to cover?

Send us a textWhat makes some states thrive while others trap people in place? And what does it really mean to be free to move, grow, and flourish?In this episode, I talk with economist Justin Callais about the deep connections between personal fulfillment, economic mobility, and institutional quality.

He studies development economics, polycentric governance, and the institutional roots of freedom and flourishing.If you've ever wondered why where you live matters—or what it takes to build a society where people can truly move up in life—this conversation is for you.Want to explore more?James Heckman on Inequality and Economic Mobility, an EconTalk podcastRaj Chetty on Economic Mobility, an EconTalk podcastArnold Kling, The Kids Are...Different, at EconlibKerianne Lawson on Equal Economic Freedoms, a Great Antidote podcastJeremy Horpedahl on the Real Cost of Thriving Index, a Great Antidote podcastSupport the showNever miss another AdamSmithWorks update.Follow us on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.
