In this Friday, February 13 editorial, we are joined by Marc Chandler, Managing Partner at Bannockburn Global Forex and Editor of the Marc to Market website. Marc provides a deep dive into a week of market reversals, beginning with the political landscape in Japan and extending to the shifting yield curves across North America and Europe and precious metals volatility. Key Discussion Points The Japanese Election & Yen Squeeze: Marc breaks down the "landslide" victory for the Liberal Democratic Party under Sanae Takaichi and the subsequent massive short-covering rally in the Yen and JGBs that caught the "smart money" off guard. Global Bond Market Rally: Despite strong U.S. jobs data and rumors of China reducing Treasury exposure, yields fell significantly across the US, Canada, and Europe. Marc explains the "buy the rumor, sell the fact" mentality currently driving these markets. Central Bank Divergence: We explore why Australia was the first G10 country to raise rates this year and why the market is now pricing in more aggressive Fed rate cuts than the central bank's own "dot plot" suggests. The Longevity of U.S. Tariffs: Marc discusses the potential for a "softer" global policy heading into the U.S. midterms, the pending Supreme Court ruling on emergency power tariffs, and the declining popularity of trade barriers. The Outlook for Precious Metals: With Gold holding above $5,000 and Silver near $78, Marc analyzes why central bank diversification and industrial demand in electronics continue to provide a solid floor for metals despite recent volatility.

This episode of Macro Mondays aired live at 12:30pm BST on Monday, the 27th of May, 2025. Join James Brodie and James Todd , LIVE 12:30 BST, as they break down the biggest financial market moves and what's coming next!
This week, we discuss the U.S. fiscal pivot, soaring deficits, and what it means for bond markets, Bitcoin, and global capital flows. We also debate whether Japan is the canary in the coal mine for sovereign debt risks, if QE is still politically viable, the housing market crisis, and why Bitcoin and foreign equities may be the only rational long-term trades.

S&P futures are pointing to a flat open today ahead of the July CPI data. Asian markets finished Wednesday trading mix, and European equity markets continue to climb in early trades. In today's macro news, Japan Prime Minister Fumio Kishida has announced that he will not run in the upcoming LDP presidential election, effectively stepping down as PM once a new leader is chosen. Kishida's withdrawal introduces market uncertainty, with no clear successor favored by markets. While most contenders support monetary policy normalization, the implications for fiscal policy and investor participation initiatives, such as the NISA program, remain uncertain. Analysts expect equities to be most affected, with yen direction influenced by external factors and JGBs by supply-demand conditions.Companies Mentioned: Honeywell, Allstate, Alphabet, Kellanova, Southwest Airlines
