In this episode of the Global Thinking Podcast Rob Duncan is joined by Forstrong CEO and CIO, Tyler Mordy, to unpack what may become one of the most studied financial panics of our time. With markets rattled by a sudden loss of confidence, they explore how erratic policy moves and recent tariff announcements have triggered a global risk-off sentiment and shaken investor faith in American capital markets. Tyler explains why this isn't your typical market correction, but rather a policy-inflicted confidence shock that's exposing deep structural cracks. The conversation dives into the fading role of the U.S. dollar as a safe haven, the growing importance of global diversification, and why gold is back in fashion. Most importantly, they discuss what investors should be watching now: bond market stability, fiscal stimulus leadership, and emerging opportunities in unexpected places. Whether you're navigating this storm or preparing for what's next, this episode is a timely reminder that having a strategy and knowing your signals is more critical than ever.

Axel Merk covers the commodity market, saying lower oil prices are a type of “economic stimulus,” and it could be doing “some of the Fed's job.” Looking at gold and silver, he notes that gold prices are reacting to other drivers as investors look for safety, while silver has industrial uses. Gold is his core focus, noting that big producers are struggling to keep up supply, forcing names like Barrick Gold (GOLD) to expand into copper.======== 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 – / schwabnetwork Follow us on Facebook – / schwabnetwork Follow us on LinkedIn - / schwab-network About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

** Exploring China's Economic Shift and Data Insights with Robert Wu**Introduction to Robert Wu and His ExpertiseConnect with RobertVisit BigOneLabRead BaiguanRead China TranslatedIn this episode of the Asia Business Podcast, we have an engaging conversation with Robert Wu, a respected figure in the field of economic analysis and business strategy. Robert is known for his insightful writings and is the author of "China Translated," a newsletter that offers a deep dive into China's economic trends and their long-term impacts. He is also the co-editor of Baiguan, which provides data-driven insights into China's business sector, and the CEO of Big One Lab, a data-centric market research company.China's Economic Transition: From Investment to ConsumptionThe episode begins with a discussion on China's economic transition towards boosting domestic consumption. Robert emphasizes a pivotal shift in policy thinking, focusing on the relationship between investment and consumption. Historically, China's economy has been heavily skewed towards investment, leading to impressive infrastructure and manufacturing capabilities. However, this model has reached a tipping point, requiring a rebalancing towards consumption to sustain growth. Robert suggests that while the government recognizes this need, the shift requires long-term structural changes and cannot be achieved overnight.Obstacles to Enhancing Domestic ConsumptionArt and Robert explore the challenges in increasing domestic consumption in China. Contrary to some perceptions, Robert asserts that China's safety nets, including healthcare and education, are relatively robust. However, he highlights issues such as child care expenses and regional disparities that need addressing to encourage consumer spending. Cultural factors also play a role, with older generations tending to save rather than spend. Robert predicts potential policy initiatives, such as birth subsidies, to incentivize higher consumption levels.The State of Entrepreneurship and Venture Capital in ChinaThe conversation shifts to the state of entrepreneurship and venture capital in China. Robert paints a picture of a changing landscape, where U.S. capital, a significant driver of China's VC scene, has withdrawn amidst geopolitical tensions. This retreat has forced local entrepreneurs to adapt, focusing more on sustainable, profitable operations rather than relying on VC funding. Although this environment poses challenges, Robert sees it as an opportunity for businesses to build solid foundations, paving the way for a resurgence in entrepreneurial activity.Government Policies and Economic BalanceArt and Robert delve into the complexities of China's government policies, particularly the balancing act between fiscal stimulus and avoiding moral hazards. Robert provides insights into how the government carefully manages domestic economic policies, recognizing the challenges posed by local government debt and the need to drive consumption. Through careful prioritization and measured interventions, Robert believes China aims to sustain growth while preventing excessive risk-taking by local governments.Navigating Regulatory Environments and Market ReactionsThe episode also touches on China's regulatory environment, where crackdowns on sectors such as online education and FinTech have sparked debates. Robert acknowledges the government's need to manage these industries while also recognizing the importance of considering broader market reactions. By learning from past experiences, the government aims to communicate more effectively and avoid unintended economic consequences.Conclusion: An Objective Look at China's Economic DynamicsIn closing, Robert emphasizes the importance of maintaining an objective perspective when analyzing China's economic dynamics. Despite facing various challenges, the country continues to present significant opportunities for businesses and investors. Through his writings, Robert aims to shed light on the complexities of China's business environment, encouraging a balanced and well-informed discussion.

China is taking action to boost its slowing economy with different types of economic support. By lowering interest rates, making it easier to borrow money, and helping local governments buy unsold real estate, China hopes to increase growth. Skip Montreux and Dez Morgan talk about how the Chinese government is using economic stimulus to improve its economy. The People's Bank of China (PBOC) recently took steps to encourage more borrowing and spending, including lowering interest rates and loosening rules for bank lending. Another important step allows local governments to sell bonds to help fund the purchase of unsold real estate, which indirectly supports property developers. Their conversation is a great learning resource if you want to build your English listening comprehension skills and expand your business vocabulary. Key points of their discussion include: Governments can boost economic growth by cutting taxes, spending on public projects, and lowering interest rates. In the 1930s, the U.S. government's New Deal used public spending to help lift the country out of the Great Depression. China's central bank recently lowered interest rates and made it easier for banks to lend money, hoping to encourage more property purchases and investments. Local governments in China are now able to sell bonds to buy unsold real estate from developers, with possible support from the central bank. Do you like what you hear?

Over the past year, China has grappled with escalating challenges—from a real estate meltdown to tech crackdowns and slowing growth—leading many investors to deem the country "un-investable."

Brett Suma, CEO, Loadsmith joined Grayson Brulte on The Road to Autonomy podcast to discuss the development of the Loadsmith Freight Network and how the network will create economic stimulus in local communities. The conversation begins with Brett discussing the development of the Loadsmith Freight Network. You can look at the LFN and compare it somewhat to a railroad and their ability to capture capacity. – Brett SumaThe Loadsmith Freight Network will consist of both professional drivers and autonomous trucks. Autonomous trucks on the LFN will mostly operate on the 350 to 900 mile runs, while the professional drivers will focus on the shorter first and last mile routes. For the Loadsmith Freight Network to operate at peak performance, the company developed a digital software layer that enables “Precision Trucking”. The cost savings derived from Precision Trucking will be reinvested in first and last mile operations in terms of higher pay for professional drivers and amenities. With higher pay for first and last mile drivers, local communities will begin to experience a form of economic stimulus through higher spending. Spending will help drive economic growth in those communities and help to off-set increased the cost of goods and services due to inflation.The lanes where autonomous trucks are first introduced will be based on freight flow, regulatory environment, technical feasibility and the economics of the lane. Everything we know about current pricing is going to change when autonomous starts hitting the street. – Brett SumaNot all lanes are created equal from an economic standpoint. The Dallas to Houston lane is oversaturated and it will be a race to the bottom in terms of pricing when autonomous trucks are rolling on that lane 24/7. That is not where Loadsmith is going as they focused on unit economics. Through their development partnership with Kodiak, Loadsmith is collectively studying the unit economics of lanes. It's this economic discipline that is going to enable their partnership to scale. The respect that Brett and the Loadsmith team has for professional drivers comes from the simple fact that they are listening. We're doing this, because we are listening to workers. – Brett SumaProfessional drivers are telling them that they want to be home every night and have consistency in their paycheck. Wrapping up the conversation, Brett shares his thoughts on the future of trucking.Follow The Road To Autonomy on Apple PodcastsFollow The Road to Autonomy on Spotify Follow The Road To Autonomy on LinkedInFollow The Road To Autonomy on TwitterRecorded on Friday, August 4, 2023See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This week, Soul of the Nation welcomes Matthew Desmond, a sociologist at Princeton University whose research focuses on poverty in America. He is the author of four books, including “Evicted: Poverty and Profit in the American City,” which won the Pulitzer Prize. Desmond's new bestselling book is called “Poverty, By America.” In this episode, Desmond explains why the United States has more poverty than any other advanced democracy, calls the Republicans' plan to reduce federal spending by cutting poverty programs "sinful and shameful," and offers five ways we can all become "poverty abolitionists."

Right before the ease of Shanghai's two-month lock-down, China State Council has been intensively convened and formulating a package of measures to stimulate economic activities, in order to get the economy back on track and keep major economic indicators within an appropriate range. This episode firstly discussed the logics behind this stimulus plan, and then analyzed the energy-related measures in the package. It is obvious that focus has been given on energy security and stable electricity supply in order to sustain its economic growth. In this context, policy makers support the growth of both fossil (mainly coal) and non-fossil fuels industries (mainly hydro, nuclear, wind). The rapid growth of wind and solar in the first four months this year were surely surprising, if building up the grid capacity to connect with more renewables, the stimulus plan will have a far-reaching impact on China's climate strategy and actions.

Podcast: Business Standard Podcast (LS 26 · TOP 10% what is this?)Episode: Key takeaways from FM Sitharaman's fourth tranche of the economic stimulusPub date: 2020-05-16Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman today announced the fourth tranche of the Rs 20-trillion economic package, focused largely on structural reforms across eight sectors of the economy. The eight sectors in which reforms are to be introduced are coal, minerals, defence production, aviation (that is airspace management; airports; and maintenance, repair & overhaul, or MRO), power distribution companies in Union territories, space technology and atomic energy. Let's begin with the coal sector: In order to end the government's monopoly in coal mining, the FM waved the green flag for commercial mining on a revenue-sharing basis. Apart from that, she allowed liberalised entry of players with incentives. She said, given the fact that coal sector is adequately endowed with resources, it will not be subject to any regulations. Incentives will be given for gasification of coal, while CBM or Coal Bed Methane extraction will happen through auctions. Sitharaman added that an amount of Rs 50,000 crore will be spent by the government to build evacuation infrastructure. Next, we come to measures related to minerals: A seamless composite exploration-production-mining system will be put in place under which 500 open blocks will be allotted for exploration. Besides, there will also be a joint auction of bauxite and coal mining blocks. The distinction between captive and non-captive mines will be removed and transfer of mining leases will be allowed. Sitharaman also said that the Ministry of Mines is in the process of developing a mineral index and that stamp duty will be rationalised till the award of mining leases.
