 Trump's tariffs are back, for now, after a federal appeals court paused yesterday's ruling to block many of them. Then, President Trump pressures Jerome Powell to lower interest rates during a face-to-face meeting at the White House. And, Harvard's commencement speaker sends a powerful message to its students as the White House continues to target the university.

En dat is misschien een verrassing als je naar de huidige cijfers kijkt. Die blijven bizar goed. Beleggers hebben moeite om er negatieve punten in te vinden. Maar dat hoeven ze ook niet, want topman Jensen Huang licht ze er zelf even uit. Hij heeft wederom kritiek op het Witte Huis. Met hun exportrestricties levert de VS hem een min van 8 miljard dollar op zijn kwartaalrekening op. Maar hij lijkt nog steeds niet helemaal eerlijk. De impact van Trump kan nog veel groter zijn dan de topman nu beweert. Daarnaast hoor je ook wat je gemist hebt in de handelsoorlog de afgelopen dagen. Een dag niet opletten betekent namelijk meteen een hele hoop ontwikkelingen missen. Zoals de rechter die een streep door zo ongeveer alle importheffingen zet. En vervolgens ook weer de melding dat er een streep door die streep gaat zolang het hoger beroep loopt. Dan zijn er ook nog die gesprekken met China. Die verlopen niet stroef, maar staan zelfs 'een beetje vast', zegt Financiënminister Scott Bessent. Het is nodig dat de presidenten persoonlijk met elkaar gaan praten. Maar of ze dat ook echt gaan doen, dat blijft de vraag. En verder vertellen we je over het onderonsje tussen Donald Trump en Jerome Powell. Die zou niet heel vriendschappelijk zijn verlopen. Trump vindt dat Powell een fout maakt doordat hij de rente niet verlaagt. En Powell zou een poging hebben gedaan om z'n acties uit te leggen.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

De Europese Centrale Bank (ECB) zou een voorbeeld moeten nemen aan de verhouding tussen de president van de Verenigde Staten en de voorzitter van de Fed, de Amerikaanse centrale bank. Gisteren hebben Donald Trump en Jerome Powell elkaar gesproken in het Witte Huis, en dat gebeurt niet vaak, zegt macro-econoom Edin Mujagić. ‘In Europa is het “lieve Ursula” en “lieve Christine”.’ Laat me raden, het gesprek in het Witte Huis ging niet over de vakantieplannen van Trump en Powell? We hebben het hier over twee mannen, waarvan één - de president – de ander – de Fed-baas - nog niet zo lang geleden met de weinig vleiende woorden als loser en dom heeft omschreven. Dus dat heeft de toon van het gesprek wel gezet. Waar hebben ze het wel over gehad zal je niet verrassen. In de verklaring na afloop zei de Fed dat het is gegaan over economische ontwikkelingen inclusief werkgelegenheid, economische groei en inflatie. Wat de Fed niet zegt, maar wat we wel weten, is de Amerikaanse president weer een poging heeft gedaan om de Fed zover te krijgen de rente te verlagen. Dat weten we omdat de Fed na afloop een verklaring online heeft gezet, en dat is nog ongebruikelijker. Daarin staat dat de Centrale Bank zich laat leiden door economische omstandigheden, zoals de wet voorschrijft, op basis van niet politieke analyse. Dat is heel diplomatiek voor. Laten we met rust, Ik ga de rente niet verlagen, Alleen Omdat jij Daarom vraagt, wij kijken naar economie, wij kijken naar inflatie en op dit moment zeggen die signalen ons dat we niks doen met de rente. De Fed weet heel goed dat de buitenwereld zich zorgen maakt over de onafhankelijkheid van de centrale. Met deze verklaring willen zie de vrees wegnemen De president en de Fed-baas spreken elkaar dus niet vaak, waarom is dat zo? De Amerikaanse president en de voorzitter van de centrale bank spreken elkaar één á twee keer per jaar, alleen in 2008 zijn er meer contactmomenten geweest. Centrale Bank die spreken elkaar één á twee keer per jaar. Dat is Als je historisch kijkt. Een aantal uitzonderingen in het jaar 2008 bijvoorbeeld zijn er veel meer contactmomenten geweest. Dat wordt gedaan om die schijn van belangenverstrengeling te vermijden. k geloof dat er zelfs geen Amerikaanse president in ieder geval In de moderne geschiedenis niet niet zijn die het vet kantoor van binnenuit hebben gezien. In de EU gaat dat dus anders? Mijn hemel zou ik bijna willen zeggen, want Wij hebben hier heel veel contactmomenten tussen Christine Lagarde en Ursula von der Leyen, bijvoorbeeld voorzitter van de Europese Commissie. De band is best wel goed; ze staan samen op de foto’s, ze lopen hand in hand, ze noemen elkaar bij de voornaam en zeggen ‘lieve Ursula’ en ‘lieve Christine’. De baas van de ECB nodigde Ursula von der Leyen begin dit jaar nog uit op het ECB-kantoor om te praten over rente. Dat zijn allemaal zaken die je in de VS niet ziet. Hier laat Amerika zien hoe het wél moet, en de ECB zou zich daar iets meer van moeten aantrekken. Er komt een nieuwe baas van de Fed, dat is duidelijk. De termijn van Powell loopt eind mei 2026 af. Na de zomer gaan die namen lekken Natuurlijk en daar gaan markten op reageren . See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

President Trump's genius plan to announce that he's about to violate the First Amendment — and then do it! — runs into the judicial buzzsaw as two federal courts restrain his attacks on Harvard and the law firm Jenner & Block. And his campaign's lawsuit against Iowa pollster Ann Selzer continues to be a humiliating series of self-owns. But SCOTUS hands the administration a win by allowing the president to fire anyone and everyone. They exempted Fed Chair Jerome Powell for, uh, reasons.   Links:   Jenner & Block v.

On Friday, the U.S. Commerce Department released the April New Home Sales Report; Kevin has the details, offers his insights and adds an historic perspective to the report. Kevin makes the case that it is time for the Federal Reserve to lower interest rates by taking a look at how an average home price is affected by different interest rates. Also, using a $110,000 annual income, Kevin takes a look at how much home can be purchased at different interest rates. The Federal Reserve is supposed to be non-political, however, this past Sunday, Fed Chairman Jerome Powell spoke to graduates at Princeton University; Kevin has the details, was it non-political? Oil prices remained stable during subdued holiday trading. 

In the face of trade uncertainty and "inflationary" tariffs, Michael Underhill says investors need to have "real assets" in a portfolio. He sees institutional investors turning to gold and defensive assets. Longer-term, Michael believes there will be better earnings later this year as companies adapt to ongoing volatility. He believes Jerome Powell may indicate a rate hike on the table, not a rate cut, in weekend commentary expected on Sunday. Michael says there could be "recessionary type data" ahead in upcoming prints.======== 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

He actually considers this a "kid in a candy store" moment for bond buyers. Mulik talks about where bond investors can take advantage of current levels.

(Ja in caps lock, want zo kondigt Trump zijn mededelingen ook vaak aan op Truth Social). Deze keer krijgt Apple een speciale behandeling van 'm. Maar niet een waar je als bedrijf blij van wordt. Trump komt met importheffingen, specifiek gericht op de iPhone. Op elke telefoon die niet in de VS wordt gemaakt, komt een importtarief van ten minste 25 procent. Dat betekent dat Trump elke verkochte iPhone in de VS extra gaat belasten. We hebben het deze aflevering over de problemen van Apple. Want er zijn er meer, bijvoorbeeld met de verkoop van diezelfde iPhone. In China haalt het daarom nu maar een nieuwe truc uit. Je hoort wat dat is en of dat gaat werken.Dan hebben we het ook over de nieuwe uithaal van Trump naar de EU. Er wordt nog onderhandeld tussen Europa en de VS, maar dat gaat 'nergens heen' volgens de grote leider en dus dreigt 'ie nu al met extra heffingen.Ondertussen zijn de Chinezen en Amerikanen wél nog met elkaar in gesprek en dat verloopt boven verwachting goed (volg je het nog?). Al zou de Chinese president wel willen dat er andere landen bij de gesprekken worden betrokken.Ook hoor je over erotische content. Nee, Wesley Weerts houdt het netjes hoor niet gevreesd. Maar we hebben het over de verkoop van OnlyFans. Dat zou miljarden opleveren. Verder komt Jerome Powell voorbij. De Fed-baas mag niet ontslagen worden door Trump, oordeelt het hooggerechtshof. Je leert waarom aandeelhouders tegen alle plannen van Amazon moesten stemmen én we hebben het over een hele sombere Christine Lagarde. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Tom Bodrovics introduces Chris Whalen, author of Inflated: Money, Debt, and the American Dream, which has been re-released in a second edition with significant updates. The conversation focuses on the current state of markets, the impact of President Trump's tariff policies, and the challenges posed by the federal debt and inflation. Chris explains that he removed 20,000 words from his original book to make space for a new chapter analyzing the Federal Reserve's management of the money supply under Ben Bernanke, Janet Yellen, and Jerome Powell. He highlights how the U.S. housing market has become heavily government-supported, leading to increased volatility and rising costs for consumers. Discussing inflation, Chris notes that it is driven by the inability of governments to generate sufficient income to meet their people's needs, as seen in countries like Argentina. He argues that borrowing from future income through debt creates distortions, particularly in housing markets, where prices have surged due to low interest rates and government intervention. He also critiques the dysfunctionality of Congress, which he believes is unable to pass budgets or manage spending effectively. Chris emphasizes the importance of gold as a hedge against inflation and expresses skepticism about stablecoins and cryptocurrencies, calling them speculative vehicles rather than reliable alternatives to fiat currency. He suggests that the U.S. dollar's dominance in global markets contributes to inflationary pressures, as other countries benefit from using dollars without bearing the associated costs. The discussion concludes with Chris offering an optimistic outlook, noting that while challenges remain, opportunities exist for investors to navigate inflation through real estate and gold. He encourages listeners to manage investments with a long-term perspective, considering the erosive effects of even low levels of inflation over time.

Gold & Silver Rally Again, As US Considers MORE Sanctions On Russia Just in case the current economic arrangement wasn't already fragile enough, the US is again considering additional sanctions on Russia. Which led the central banks to start setting records for how much gold they've been buying ever since. And one can only imagine how that trend would look if there are further sanctions. But that's what we take a look at in today's show, as well as some rising long-term interest rates, and how that will affect the gold and silver markets.

President Trump has withdrawn his threat to fire Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell for the time being, but the administration continues to criticize the Fed for postponing interest rate cuts and for its quantitative tightening policy, which increases the amount of bonds available in the market and thus requires higher interest rates to attract buyers. Confluence Associate Market Strategist Thomas Wash joins Phil Adler to discuss whether the Fed's independence is truly at risk and what this might mean for investors.

The Trump administration's 10 percent universal tariff and additional targeted duties on over 60 countries were announced on April 2 and went into effect on April 5. The modest rise in import prices, particularly outside the fuel category, suggests that the duties have not significantly deterred U.S. purchases of foreign-made goods.   The increase in nonfuel goods prices, combined with steady import volumes, may indicate that tariff-related costs are being absorbed without major shifts in buying behavior, at least so far. source: breitbart.com   https://twitter.com/BehizyTweets/status/1923409184030429667    Biden and the Democrats gave us.

The US and China have agreed to a 90-day truce in the trade war, following negotiations in Geneva. As part of the deal, the US will reduce tariffs on Chinese imports from 145% to 30%, and China will lower its duties on American goods from 125% to 10%. Markets have welcomed these developments, but key questions still remain about the implications for the economy and inflation. This uncertainty puts the Federal Reserve (Fed) in a tough spot, and we await more clarity on the Fed's direction from Fed Chair Jerome Powell's comments on 15 May.   In Asia, the India–Pakistan conflict has calmed following a US-mediated ceasefire. We note that historically markets have typically recovered within a month of previous India-Pakistan conflicts, and continue to monitor key indicators such as the Indian Rupee and Foreign Institutional Investor (FII) flows, as well as geopolitical developments.   This episode is presented by Chintan Bhindora from the Julius Baer Research Asia team.
