Veronique de Rugy critiques the administration's legal argument at the Supreme Court that the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) authorizes the President to impose tariffs. She argues the term "emergency" is used too loosely, defining 50 years of trade deficits as an emergency, potentially granting the President immense, unchecked power to tax. Tariffs are taxes, which Congress should control. De Rugy notes tariffs are already causing damage by raising prices for consumers or forcing companies to cut profits and investment. 1882 NYSE
Eric Criscuolo, Market Strategist at the NYSE, recaps a week where markets pulled back as Tech lost steam and defensive sectors gained ground. The Fed cut rates as expected, but Chair Powell's hawkish tone cooled hopes for further easing. Political headlines added uncertainty, with Democrats outperforming on Election Day and the Supreme Court questioning Trump-era tariffs. M&A activity surged, led by Kimberly Clark's $50B bid for Kenvue and a pharma bidding war between Pfizer and Novo Nordisk. Investors now look ahead to key earnings, economic data, and the impact of the government shutdown as the year-end trading calendar tightens.
The Dominance of the US Dollar and Its Challenges. Alex Pollock (Senior Fellow at the Mises Institute) discusses Kenneth Rogoff's book, Our Currency, Your Problem, focusing on why the US dollar remains the dominant global currency. The dollar's strength is linked to US military power and superior legal and bankruptcy systems, which provide essential "social infrastructure." Pollock recalls the famous quip, "Our currency, your problem," made by Treasury Secretary John Connally in 1971 after the US defaulted on its gold obligations under the Bretton Woods system. Challenges from the Chinese renminbi and crypto are noted, but Rogoff finds serious institutional flaws in China's system. Critically, the growing US national debt is identified as the dollar's "Achilles heel," posing a major threat if global lenders stop lending. 1885 NYSE
Jessica Inskip (@jessicainskip) joins Diane King Hall at the NYSE to provide her perspective on current economic performance. She brings her 3-pillar approach to monitor for further growth: 1) An easing Fed cycle, 2) Earnings growth and 3) Strong economic conditions. Jessica says that the market moves on earnings potential and "everything else is input into that equation." For the broader labor market dynamic and the impact on A.I. adoption trends, she uses a "revenue per employee" data point as a way to breakdown productivity output with less headcount.======== 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

Inside Wirtschaft - Der Podcast mit Manuel Koch | Börse und Wirtschaft im Blick
Karriereziel USA: Lohnt sich der Weg über Harvard an die Wall Street noch? Donald Trump hat angekündigt, das Visum für hochqualifizierte Arbeitskräfte drastisch zu verteuern – bis zu 100.000 Dollar Gebühr sollen dafür zukünftig anfallen. All das wirft die Frage auf: Sind die USA für junge Top-Talente überhaupt noch ein verlässliches Karriereziel? „Attraktiv sind die USA immer noch. Sie sind das Zentrum des Kapitals, das an den US-Börsen liegt. Dort spielt die Musik, die besten Karrierechancen, die erfolgreichsten Startups, die größten Banken und Beratungen - sie alle sitzen in den USA. Das ist alles noch realisierbar, aber es wird schwieriger und unsicherer. Und vielleicht kommen jetzt ja die Top-Talente zu uns. Denn hier ist es ja nicht so teuer. Und es ist anzunehmen, dass die USA zunehmend an wirtschaftlicher Bedeutung verlieren werden im Vergleich zu Asien und Europa", sagt der BWL-Influencer und Mitgründer von pumpkincareers David Döbele. Alle Details im Interview mit Inside Wirtschaft-Chefredakteur Manuel Koch an der Frankfurter Börse und auf https://inside-wirtschaft.de
Interview with Niël Pretorius, CEO of DRDGOLD Ltd.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/gold-strategic-vision-vs-market-hype-how-mining-leaders-navigate-cycles-7468Recording date: 29th October 2025DRDGOLD represents an unusual opportunity in the gold sector—a company that has paid dividends for 18 consecutive years without interruption, maintained a debt-free balance sheet through multiple commodity cycles, and is currently funding a transformative expansion entirely from operating cash flows. For investors seeking gold exposure through operational discipline rather than exploration speculation, DRDGOLD's business model warrants serious attention.The Johannesburg-based company, listed on both the JSE and NYSE with a market capitalization exceeding $2 billion, operates a distinctive business extracting gold from mine tailings—the waste material from historical mining operations. Current production runs between 100,000-155,000 ounces annually from two main operations: Ergo and Far West Gold. Success in this business depends entirely on processing massive volumes at the lowest possible cost, requiring relentless operational efficiency.CEO Niël Pretorius emphasizes a critical operational philosophy: "We don't gauge our efficiency on the basis of dollar per ounce. We gauge our efficiency on the basis of rand per ton." This focus on unit costs per ton processed rather than per ounce produced enables profitable operations across wider gold price ranges. As head grades inevitably decline when mining tailings, controlling costs per ton processed becomes the only sustainable path forward. Strategic investments in renewable energy—including a solar farm and battery storage at Ergo—have reduced power costs by 9-15 rand per ton, demonstrating management's commitment to continuous efficiency gains.DRDGOLD is currently executing Vision 2028, its most significant capital investment program. The initiative includes three major projects: extending Ergo operations with new infrastructure including the Withok tailings facility, expanding the DP2 plant to double processing capacity to 1.2 million tons monthly, and constructing an 800-hectare Regional Tailings Storage Facility—one of the largest in South Africa—capable of holding more than 800 million tons of mine residue. These projects will establish infrastructure for processing 3 million tons monthly and increase production to approximately 200,000 ounces annually by 2028-2029.The financial execution is particularly impressive. Vision 2028 requires $100-120 million in annual capital expenditure, dramatically higher than the company's typical sustaining capital of approximately 5% of cash operating costs. When designed, management anticipated requiring debt financing during peak capital periods. However, the gold price rally enabled funding the entire program from cash flows while maintaining the debt-free balance sheet and even doubling recent dividend payments. Upon completion, sustaining capital requirements will return to historical levels, substantially improving free cash flow generation.Beyond current operations, DRDGOLD is positioning for two growth opportunities: regional consolidation of nearby tailings operations leveraging existing infrastructure, and environmental restoration services for global mining companies. The restoration concept involves reprocessing mine tailings and depositing material into exhausted open pits, addressing the industry's escalating mine closure challenge while potentially generating economic returns. Management is actively engaging with operators of mature open-pit projects worldwide.Pretorius articulated the company's value proposition candidly: "Our value proposition is one of asset optimization. So we have a very large asset base. We can process at a particular rate, and our efforts are towards putting in the infrastructure to do that for as long as we possibly can and not leaving any value behind." This embedded resilience—prioritizing stability and longevity over speculative growth—has enabled uninterrupted dividend payments through commodity cycles and positions DRDGOLD as a disciplined, operationally focused investment in the gold sector.For investors seeking gold exposure through proven management, operational excellence, production growth, and financial discipline without exploration risk or acquisition-driven volatility, DRDGOLD presents a compelling case built on 18 years of demonstrated resilience.View DRDGOLD's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/drdgold-limitedSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com
Stock markets are soaring amid AI enthusiasm, but that does not necessarily mean we are in bubble territory, says Markus Müller, the Private Bank's head of the CIO office and Chief Investment Officer for Sustainability. “The difference now is the foundation. Equities are showing strong earnings, robust cash flows and disciplined balance sheets. That's not typical bubble behaviour,” Markus says, though he also points to the need for careful risk management. “Overinvestment is a risk. Global data centre spending surged.”This tension is on display in the current U.S. earnings season, Markus says. “Fundamentals are strong, but the pace of investment and market concentration require respect. The top 10 US companies now represent over 20% of the global equity market value. And tech alone is about 35% of US market cap. With that concentration, risk management is essential.”For more investing insights, please visit deutschewealth.com.In Europe, Middle East and Africa as well as in Asia Pacific this material is considered marketing material, but this is not the case in the U.S. No assurance can be given that any forecast or target can be achieved.

Wall Street is doubling down on crypto as major financial institutions accelerate their blockchain strategies. Mastercard is enabling 3.5 billion cardholders to make Bitcoin and crypto transactions, Western Union has launched its USDpt stablecoin on Solana, and the NYSE-backed ICE is partnering with Polymarket to adopt 24/7 tokenized collateral. Meanwhile, new ETF filings and growing institutional investment signal that traditional finance is moving deeper into digital assets. As adoption expands, the line between crypto and Wall Street continues to blur.
Michael Reinking, Senior Market Strategist at the NYSE, recaps a week where markets hit record highs amid shifting dynamics. A softer CPI print confirmed a Fed rate cut, while tech led gains on surging AI optimism and Nvidia crossing $5T in market cap. Earnings remained strong, driven by massive AI infrastructure investments from hyperscalers. Trade talks delivered a limited U.S.-China truce, easing some uncertainty but leaving tariff challenges ahead. The week ended with mixed reactions to the Fed's cautious tone as investors look toward more earnings and key economic data next week.
In this episode we discuss how the U.S. labor market is cooling — not collapsing. The Fed cut rates again, citing a softening jobs picture, but the data tell a more balanced story. We look at why layoffs at major companies don’t signal crisis, how AI will reshape (not erase) work, and why a post-pandemic equilibrium may finally be taking shape.

So if he throws a tantrum and leaves, isn't it bro's fault? This is a binary trade - Musk gets extra pay/control, stock goes up and isn't de-meme'd. Musk doesn't, he leaves and the stock is de-meme'd and drops arguably by 66% or more to be more like a car company with some tech. So do we blame investors, no matter what they do?

4. Post-Pandemic Lessons and Policy Interventions Nicholas Eberstadt Book: Men Without Work (Post-Pandemic Edition) Eberstadt addresses the post-pandemic landscape, noting the problem has worsened and shows warning signs of spreading to prime-age women and older cohorts. The China shock (China entering the WTO) previously disrupted US manufacturing. Pandemic-era government transfers were unique in that US disposable income rose, generating over $2.5 trillion in excess savings that facilitated a "delayed return to work." Policy solutions include adopting a "work first" principle for social welfare programs and improving vocational skills training to reduce disincentives. Eberstadt stresses the need to gather statistics on the vast ex-felon population (one in seven adult men has a felony conviction) to enable evidence-based policies for societal reentry. Gaming the disability system often involves claims that are difficult to falsify, such as psychological or musculoskeletal pain. 1939 NYSE
2. Demographics and Despair: The Activities of Men Not in the Labor Force Nicholas Eberstadt Book: Men Without Work (Post-Pandemic Edition) Eberstadt investigates the characteristics of the 7.2 million men "not in the labor force" (NILF) as of 2015. Foreign-born men and married men with children are highly likely to be at work, regardless of educational background. Conversely, those who are neither employed nor in education or training (NEET) report engaging in remarkably little civic life, charity, or household help. Time use surveys suggest these NEET men spend the equivalent of a full-time job—around 2,000 hours a year—watching screens. This inactivity is linked to profound misery, as almost half of these men report taking pain medication daily, contributing to rising "deaths of despair" (suicide, overdoses, cirrhosis). 1927 NYSE
Eric Criscuolo, Market Strategist at the NYSE, recaps a week defined by a sharp momentum meltdown across high-beta and speculative assets. Meme stocks, crypto miners, and quantum computing names saw steep declines before rebounding on news of potential government investment. Precious metals like gold and silver also dropped from recent highs amid overbought conditions and macro uncertainty. Despite the volatility, major indices stabilized, supported by strong earnings and sector rotation into Energy, Healthcare, and Industrials. The week closed with optimism as markets regained footing and investors looked ahead to key economic data and trade developments.
In this episode, we review the potential for a slowdown in the economy towards the end of the year, as well as the market implications and potential for a pullback in this elevated market environment.

Markets can't go "straight up and to the right," says Rebecca Walser (@walserwealth), calling Wednesday's selling activity "expected." She returns to the NYSE set and explains what factors played a role in the session's price action. Rebecca later touches on the rally in gold and liquidation of Bitcoin, both signals that she says signifies that investors are taking risk off the table. On the A.I. trade, she says "if we don't get nuclear power, we don't get monetization of A.I. to be realized." However, she shares concerns of speculative trades like Oklo Inc.

Shana Sissel joins Diane King Hall at the NYSE to discuss the continued market rally despite a government shutdown. She says earnings are coming in strong as most companies set conservative guidance due to uncertain forecasts because of ongoing tariff policy. Shana says there aren't really any fundamental reasons to break through these current highs and points to the importance of China/U.S. trade relations. She does wave a yellow flag on inflation being higher from a year ago, and says volatility could continue into year end. Shana adds commentary on this year's central bank buying activity fueling Gold's run to all-time highs.======== 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

Michael Reinking, Senior Market Strategist at the NYSE, recaps a volatile week as China's new export controls and President Trump's tariff threats triggered the biggest U.S. selloff since April. Markets and crypto plunged before rebounding on softer rhetoric from Washington and strong bank earnings kicking off the season. Fed Chair Powell's signal of further rate cuts fueled a rally in cyclicals and financials. Regional banks later slid on fresh credit concerns. Reinking highlights China's upcoming economic data, earnings acceleration, and ongoing shutdown talks as next week's key drivers.

Phil Streible joins Diane King Hall at the NYSE set to discuss the gold trade. He continues to see structural support and further tailwinds for the precious metals space, with gold potentially reaching $5,000. For silver, he says the market cap is 9x smaller than the gold market which could present more volatility. Phil adds the silver demand to industrial EV and solar markets as a differentiator. Phil says the government shutdown uncertainty and tariff headlines are driving volatility which could be a reason for the uptick in the metals market.======== 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

Jim Neesen is at the NYSE set to discuss the IPO market's standstill amid the ongoing government shutdown. He says that companies can go effective if they're already on file, but that a shutdown makes it harder for pricing. Jim adds the IPO market is in a "power nap" which means there's no shortage of demand for the "unicorns" looking to go public, saying the government shutdown could ultimately be a "nothing burger" in slowing IPO activity. Looking to 2026, he says there's a "very big pipeline" featuring a breadth of software, fintech, crypto companies and more.======== 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

Polymarket scales with Wall Street's blessing, Kalshi fires up KOLs, and BNB chain melts down as fast as it ran. We dissect Aster's data drama, the new privacy wave lifting Zcash, and Galaxy One's glossy yields—what's smart strategy vs. old mistakes in new clothes? Welcome to The Chopping Block — where crypto insiders Haseeb Qureshi, Tom Schmidt, Tarun Chitra, and Robert Leshner chop it up about the latest in crypto. This week, we unpack Polymarket's jaw-dropper: a $2B raise at a $9B valuation led by ICE (parent of the NYSE), the token tease, and whether prediction markets will eat sportsbooks. We get into the KOL wars (Kalshi vs. Polymarket), the line between paid shilling and product marketing, and what “parlays” look like on prediction platforms. Then: Aster vs. Hyperliquid and DeFiLlama's delist sparks transparency questions, while BNB Chain's 72-hour meme-coin supercycle goes boom→bust. Privacy takes center stage as Zcash rips and the “privacy meta” returns. We close with Galaxy One's 8% yield pitch — BlockFi déjà vu or smarter risk management in a post-CeFi world? Show highlights
