Donald Trump and his trade war are symptoms, not causes, of a deeper shift in the global economic order. The world has fractured into rival blocs, with the US and China emerging as the poles of competing systems, vying for resources, technological dominance and geopolitical influence. Now, with Trump back in office, long-held assumptions about American leadership are once again in question. What does his return mean for the trajectory of this fracturing, and how has the balance of risks evolved?In this special edition of The Weekly Briefing from Capital Economics, Group Chief Economist Neil Shearing and Chief Asia Economist Mark Williams explore the fracturing of the global economy. Ahead of the publication of fresh analysis about how fracturing has developed since Trump's return, they talk to David Wilder about how this process began long before the president was elected in 2016,  how it's accelerating under his second term and where it might lead. Topics covered in this 30-minute episode include:The inevitability of US–China economic rivalry – and the scope for détenteHow fracturing is fuelling a global tech arms raceWhether Trump's unilateralism could further strain or even break Western alliances.Events and analysis referenced in this episode:Fracturing under Trump – Register now:Singapore, 3rd SeptemberHong Kong, 4th SeptemberLondon, 17th SeptemberNew York, 9th OctoberRead: The fracturing of the global economyRead: The US, China and the Fractured Age

Robert Sinn, (aka Goldfinger on CEO.ca and CeoTechnican on X) and publisher of Goldfinger Capital on YouTube and Substack, joins me for a wide-ranging discussion on macroeconomic market movers as well as his fundamental and technical outlook on gold, silver, copper, and their related resource stocks.   There are a range of topic covered when reviewing the macroeconomics landscape which include:  The Trump administration's policy on tariffs, Fed policy, the continued US dollar weakness, central bank buying of precious metals, the continued move higher US equities and cryptocurrencies in a very risk-on market, and China's economic health improving.   Shifting over to the precious metals, Robert points out that gold is still playing a role as an alternative currency and as a solid hard asset and safe haven for investors as a store of value.  We look to the upcoming positive expectations for Q2 earnings season in the gold producers over the next few weeks, and discuss how money has moved down the risk curve from the producers and quality developers into the optionality plays, advanced explorers, and discovery-stage exploration companies. We also opine on the kinds of merger and acquisition deals we may start to see as cashed up producers merge with one another to mass up or may go after large defined orebodies without a prohibitive capex to build them into mines. Robert highlighted Banyan Gold Corp. (TSXV:BYN)(OTCQB:BYAGF), Sitka Gold Corp. (TSXV: SIG) (OTCQB: SITKF), and Ramp Metals Inc. (TSXV: RAMP) as three gold exploration stocks that have his attention at present.   Next we discuss the technical setup for silver as it has been in a catchup trade to gold, where it has been leading the last few months on a percentage basis.  We also note that the silver stocks have really moved a lot in response to this latest move in silver, adding credence to wider breadth across the PM sector.   We wrap up looking at the technical setup in the price action we've seen in copper, blasting up over $5 for the third time and to recent all-time highs on the back on the proposed Trump tariffs on the red metal.  Robert shares a few copper exploration stocks he likes, such as Hercules Metals Corp. (TSXV: BIG) (OTCQB: BADEF) and Ridgeline Minerals Corp. (TSXV: RDG) (OTCQB: RDGMF), and reiterates why he likes Idaho, Nevada, and Arizona as US jurisdictions for copper companies.   Follow Robert's analysis on Substack   https://ceo.ca/@goldfinger   Click here to follow Robert on X/Twitter   https://www.youtube.com/@GoldfingerCapital/videos

MacroVoices Erik Townsend & Patrick Ceresna welcome, Darius Dale. They discuss why Darius is bullish on U.S. equities, echoing Lyn Alden's recent views, as the U.S. pivots to a pro-growth fiscal policy aimed at "growing our way out" of its national debt crisis. But Darius also warns that if this strategy fails, the likely fallback will be monetary debasement, so investors should take profits before that chapter begin. https://bit.ly/3GRPBou  

The annual Kagan Media and Telecom Summit in New York is in the books and it not only covered a lot of market activity, but it was also surrounded by a number of media and sports rights headlines. Justin Nielson, Eric Keith, Scott Robson and Seth Shafer joined host Eric Hanselman to look at what was covered in the expansive event and the time around it. There were big shifts in media rights and a couple of sports team sales that led to lively discussions. Networks are balking at some of the lofty prices for sports media rights in the face of streaming services' higher demand. The realignment of regional sports coverage is still shaking out, as well. Media consolidation keeps hovering, but will it always be next year's prospect? Macroeconomic uncertainty seems to be playing a role and the pendulum on cord cutting seems to be swinging back around. In broadband, the reset of the BEAD program has states scrambling to reapply under the new, much tighter deadline. Will this drive fixed wireless access (FWA)? Satellite is still a possibility in remote regions, but costs may hold it back. Private equity activity in fiber networks could be reaching a tipping point, as their investments mature and operators' partners shift strategies. There was a lot in store and much more to come.

A ceasefire in the Middle East. A US-China deal. Relatively benign dataflow. The S&P 500 back at a record high. But are things really looking up? Group Chief Economist Neil Shearing is on The Weekly Briefing from Capital Economics to talk to David Wilder about fragilities under the surface of the global economy. He discusses worldwide fiscal risks, why there's less to see with that US-China deal and those divisions on the FOMC. Also on the show, BYD and DeepSeek may be in the spotlight, but their rise reflects deeper structural flaws in China's economy. They're a sign of economic success, but also of the growing distortions in the government's industrial strategy – weaknesses that are increasingly evident in China's dismal productivity data. Chief Asia Economist Mark Williams has been delving into the details of Xi Jinping's industrial roadmap and the productivity data to tell David what this all says about China's economic outlook.Events and analysis referenced in this podcast:Read: China's push for innovation is not lifting productivityRoundtable: One year on: Is the UK government boosting growth?Read: Fed independence not a concern for markets, yetRead: APAC Commercial Property Outlook: Values to fall as region's markets struggle to recoverData: APAC Commercial Property

As part of its exclusive series on the YouTube Ecosystem, Next in Media spoke with John Terrana, President, Americas at VaynerMedia, about why most clients aren't racing to lock up much inventory beyond sports this year, and the 'weirdo' spot YouTube still finds itself in.

Sean Brodrick, Editor of Wealth Megatrends and contributing analyst to Weiss Ratings Daily, joins us to review the macroeconomic market movers he is watching and he outlines why he is still bullish but holding off on adding to positions in gold, silver, and copper stocks, but that he has been adding to positions in dividend-paying oil stocks and rare earth stocks.   We start off looking at the financial macroeconomic factors coming back into focus this week and moving forward, now that some of the recent noise from geopolitics has faded back down.  He is not convinced in that the tariff implications are behind us, but believes the market is largely shrugging off the pause coming off of the reciprocal tariffs, and that it is likely that many of them just get pushed off further into the distance. He believes the large upcoming tax and spending bill in the US is going to mean more debt and deficits, which is a negative longer-term, but that the tax cuts are seen as a market boon because they will allow citizens to hang onto more of their own money, and thus those excess funds will find their way into the stocks markets.  Sean notes the continued weakness we've in the US long bond, US dollar, and business guidance through year end.   We discussed the fact that the gold price had surged higher in April, well before the geopolitical conflict even began between Iran and Israel, so there wasn't really any war premium to come out of the PMs, despite those recent narratives being spun. Sean noted that after seeing gold channeling sideways the last couple of months at historically very high levels, that it needed to rest. In a similar sense, after Silver broke up through long-term $35 resistance, and got up to hit $37 briefly, that it made sense for it to pull back down and retest the area of the breakout, and that this is healthy overall.   With regards to the precious metals equities, Sean is mostly holding onto the names that he and his subscribers have purchased over the last few months, but did sell his Equinox Gold Corp.(TSX: EQX) (NYSE American: EQX) position a few weeks back to free up some funds to be able to rotate down into more gold developers and silver stocks once he believes this current pullback has bottomed.   Next we shifted over to the steadily climbing copper price, noting that we've actually seen some life in the copper junior stocks, where (COPJ) has been outperforming (COPX) or (ICOP).   While he agreed this move higher in copper and the copper equities has been positive, and based on strong fundamental drivers, he's not that animated by investing in the copper juniors, and hasn't traditionally fared well in them.   Wrapping up, Sean did mention that he has been animated accumulating the better run intermediate oil stocks that pay good dividends even at current WTI oil prices, and specifically mentioned Granite Ridge Resources, Inc. (NYSE: GRNT) as an example of the type of oil stock that has his attention.   We also discussed why he is bullish on rare earth stocks that have exposure to downstream processing and separation, and he highlighted why he likes MP Materials Corp. (NYSE: MP).   Click here to follow along with Sean's work at Weiss Ratings Daily and Wealth Megatrends   Click here to learn more about Resource Trader

Navigating Risk, Noise, and Uncertainty: Barry Ritholtz on Investing in a Volatile World   In my conversation with Barry Ritholtz, chairman of Ritholtz Wealth Management and host of Bloomberg's “Masters in Business” podcast, we explored market and real estate cycles, caution, and capital allocation in today's increasingly unpredictable economic environment. Below are the most actionable and provocative takeaways for real estate investors, both passive and professional, drawn from Barry's decades of lessons and market observations.   Origins of Insight: From Blog to Bloomberg Ritholtz didn't set out to run a multi-billion-dollar firm. What started as daily trading notes eventually evolved into a blog, a book, Bailout Nation, and a platform that positioned him to correctly call both the top and bottom of the 2008 financial crisis. This journey, grounded in curiosity and behavioral finance, shaped the contrarian and data-driven approach he still employs today.   "I just wanted to know why some people made money while others didn't doing the same thing."   The 2008 Playbook: Behavioral Edge Over Economic Models Ritholtz attributes his early warning of the Global Financial Crisis (GFC) to non-traditional thinking and real estate roots (his mother was a real estate agent). Observing abnormal refinancing activity and "cash-out mania" led him to investigate securitized debt and derivative risk, well before it was mainstream.   He reverse-engineered risk from Reinhart & Rogoff's crisis research and famously predicted the Dow's decline to ~6,800—earning mockery initially, then vindication.   Echoes of 2008? Why This Time Feels Precarious While he stops short of predicting a crisis, Ritholtz allows for a 10–15% probability of a self-inflicted depression – a worst-case scenario rooted not in structural weakness, but political mismanagement.   “It [is an] asymmetrical risk to take one bullet, put it in a six shooter, spin the wheel, and put it up against your head with a $28 trillion economy.”   From tariffs to immigration policy to fiscal gamesmanship, Ritholtz sees signs that the U.S. may be eroding the long-standing trust that underpins reserve currency status and global capital flows.   Cash Isn't a Plan, Discipline Is When asked whether it makes sense to sit in cash and wait out the next downturn, Ritholtz counters with behavioral caution. Historically, those who “go to cash” rarely reenter at the right time and often miss the rebound entirely.   “If you're going to sit out in cash, do you have the temperament, the discipline to get back in?” Instead, he recommends building resilience: modest leverage, long-term focus, and capital efficiency – hallmarks of legends like Sam Zell, who Ritholtz holds up as a model of disciplined real estate investing.   A Word on Leverage: Use with Extreme Care High leverage is the common thread in stories of ruin. Ritholtz referenced the downfall of the Peloton CEO, who borrowed heavily against inflated stock. The same caution applies to over-leveraged real estate investors, especially those who haven't endured a full cycle.   “Market crashes are where capital returns to its rightful owners.”   For CRE sponsors, now is the time to refinance where possible, preserve cash, and maintain flexibility, even if that means lower IRR projections.   How to Filter the Noise: Create an Information Diet Ritholtz emphasized the need to tune out “financial candy from strangers” – the firehose of social media, Substacks, and hot takes by unvetted commentators.   “They don't know your zip code, your goals, your tax bracket. Why would you trust them?” He recommends identifying a shortlist of credible voices with defined, rational processes and a record of sound judgment. “Build your A-Team,” he advises. “Then ignore the rest.”   Real Estate Today: Not Monolithic, but Multifaceted Unlike equities, real estate behaves very differently depending on location, asset class, and capital structure. While some sectors (e.g., Class B office) remain distressed, others (e.g., data centers, multifamily in select markets, industrial) are faring relatively well.   “Literally, there are properties [Zell] held for half a century. He was long term… used modest amounts of leverage, and he bought great properties at even better prices.”   Ritholtz warns against painting real estate with a broad brush and urges nuanced thinking about cycles, risk-adjusted return, and operator quality.   Sentiment vs. Signals: What to Watch Now While he downplays the predictive power of investor sentiment, Ritholtz monitors: Three-month moving averages of non-farm payrolls Rounded tops in S&P earnings trends Residential real estate supply conditions in key metros Dollar strength (as a proxy for confidence and capital flows) “If the dollar keeps falling and supply starts rising in housing markets, it's time to pay attention.”   Dollar, Debt, and the Doomsayers Ritholtz is blunt about the debt debate. He finds most public discourse alarmist and often wrong. With the U.S. still enjoying reserve currency privileges, he sees no imminent collapse but warns against complacency.   “We've been hearing the deficit will destroy America for 50 years. It hasn't. But bad policy could.”   He is more concerned with underinvestment in infrastructure and human capital than with rising debt levels per se.   Closing Counsel for Investors For those sitting on fresh capital, say $1 million, Ritholtz advises: Clarify your goals (retirement, education, housing). Max out tax-advantaged accounts. Build a core of low-cost index exposure. Don't chase alpha before securing beta. Avoid overcomplexity: “Two dozen funds is not a portfolio.” His parting message? Discipline beats prediction. And humility is a superpower.   Final Thought “Everyone is faking it to some degree. The real danger isn't what you don't know – it's not knowing what you don't know.”   In an age of volatility and noise, Ritholtz's framework stands out: stay informed, stay skeptical, and invest like risk is real – because it is.   *** In this series, I cut through the noise to examine how shifting macroeconomic forces and rising geopolitical risk are reshaping real estate investing.   With insights from economists, academics, and seasoned professionals, this show helps investors respond to market uncertainty with clarity, discipline, and a focus on downside protection.    Subscribe to my free newsletter for timely updates, insights, and tools to help you navigate today's volatile real estate landscape.
