The Federal Reserve raised interest rates for the first time in three years, but for investors, the bigger question is what comes next. Lance Roberts and Michael Lebowitz break down what the Fed said, what Chairman Kevin Warsh signaled about inflation and future monetary policy, and why the Fed's updated rate projections matter for markets. With most policymakers anticipating another rate increase this year, is this the beginning of a new tightening cycle, or could the Fed be closer to "one and done"?

Danielle DiMartino Booth, CEO of QI Research and author of Fed Up, joins Julia La Roche to break down the Fed's 25 basis point rate hike under Chair Kevin Warsh. The statement first looked dovish, but markets reversed after Warsh's record-short 29-minute press conference hinted at more hikes. That sent the 10-year Treasury to 5.01%, its highest level since 2007. Danielle argues Warsh has broken his own "zero forward guidance" pledge and is "enamored with his narrative" of a Goldilocks economy. She points to a labor market already in recessionary territory, with long-term unemployed now outnumbering job leavers. She says core PCE inflation is on a steady path lower, while households face mounting strain from gas prices, utility bills, bankruptcies, and tightening credit. The two also discuss the K-shaped economy and why Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent may not be done acting on the bond market. Danielle explains why peak AI investment, propped up by hyperscaler accounting gains, is the biggest risk she sees. She closes on an optimistic note about the work ethic of today's college-age generation.Thank you to our partners Augusta Precious Metals — To learn more, visit https://juliabuysgold.com/ or text “Julia" to 35052Monetary Metals - learn more at https://www.monetary-metals.com/julia/Links:    Danielle's Twitter/X: https://twitter.com/dimartinobooth  Substack: https://dimartinobooth.substack.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@DanielleDiMartinoBoothQIFed Up: https://www.amazon.com/Fed-Up-Insiders-Federal-Reserve/dp/0735211655Timestamps: 0:00 Intro0:40 Fed hikes 25 bps: the big-picture takeaway1:22 Markets price in three more hikes after the press conference4:21 Assessing Warsh so far: forward guidance despite his pledge5:37 Fed projections: 2.5% core PCE, 4.1% unemployment7:02 Sponsor: Augusta Precious Metals8:26 Labor market already in recessionary territory10:12 Warsh is "enamored with his narrative"10:53 The household squeeze: gas, utilities, beef to chicken11:47 Even the top of the K is losing confidence12:19 AI was 100% of GDP growth, and real AI investment has turned13:20 Payroll data quirks: the World Cup hiring surge14:06 Sponsor: Monetary Metals15:33 Trump's reaction: 10-year at 5.01%, stocks down16:05 Scott Bessent isn't finished17:04 Warsh gives Bessent the Heisman17:41 10-year at a 19-year high, and the Fed was easing last time18:14 What the Fed is getting wrong: August's one-off inflation blips20:03 Core PCE is coming down, plus BEA methodology changes20:56 Bankruptcy lawyers are making bank: record filings22:23 Do rate hikes even work?

One Fed Hike—Or More to Come?

Our Global Head of Macro Strategy Matthew Hornbach joins our Chief U.S. Economist Michael Gapen to discuss the Fed's potential next moves and how energy prices are influencing market expectations.Read more insights from Morgan Stanley.----- Transcript -----Matthew Hornbach: Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Matthew Hornbach, Global Head of Macro Strategy at Morgan Stanley.Michael Gapen: And I'm Michael Gapen, Morgan Stanley's Chief U.S. Economist.Matthew Hornbach: Today, what the Federal Reserve decided at its September meeting and what it could mean for rates through the end of the year.It's Wednesday, September 16th at 4pm in New York.So, Mike, the Fed raised rates by 25 basis points at this week's meeting. What stood out to you the most in the decision? And when it comes to inflation, how do you think this 25-basis point rate hike is actually going to affect the inflation outlook?Michael Gapen: Yeah, so certainly the decision was in line with expectations. You know, obviously what we've learned in the very broad sense is that inflation isn't moving fast enough in the direction that the Fed wants. So, it's responding by tighter monetary policy. And that does set up a very interesting question which you just asked, which is: Well, is it going to work? Is this the right response to the inflation that we're seeing?So, if you do go back and reread that Jackson Hole speech, there's not a lot in there about the drivers of inflation, what's causing higher inflation. But it's clear the only response to above target inflation from the point of view of the chair was tighter monetary policy. So, the Fed is in a bit of a pickle.Most of us believe the majority of the inflation we're seeing is supply side driven from tariffs, from energy. At least in the past, let's call it supply chain disruptions, a de-globalization narrative. Some of it is demand side driven through AI. But I think we're all looking at that thinking modestly tighter rates isn't necessarily going to bring down that AI-related inflation.So, we're left to conclude that the Fed's in this uncomfortable position of saying, "Well, a lot of the inflation that we're seeing is supply side driven and from the structural AI story that we're not convinced higher rates can maybe address."So I think the answer would be, if inflation's going to come down, then higher rates will be weighing on the parts of the economy that are more interest rate sensitive and generally soft already.Matthew Hornbach: Is this a one and done? Or do you think that when the Fed actually goes ahead and hikes rates after a long pause, they are thinking about delivering more than just one rate hike?Michael Gapen: Yeah, I strongly believe the committee as a whole is thinking in terms of more than one move. Monetary policy doesn't, say, hyper-react. It reacts with a bit of a delay. So, to your point, they've been on hold for a while. When they think about changing policy, then they're thinking about a series of moves.So, I think in their mind, if they're raising rates, there's a strong probability that they will do at least one more or two more. They're never going to think that a 25-basis-point move in the funds rate will fundamentally change the macro-outlook. So, I don't think they'd ever walk into this thinking one and done.Now, it is possible we get an ex-post one and done. So, how could that come about? If it is true indeed that we're right that a lot of this inflation is supply-side driven. It is coming down. It's clear that the three- and six-month annualized rates are pointing to disinflation into year-end. We can debate whether it's fast enough or not.But if disinflation continues to happen, then the Fed will have hiked, expect to maybe do another one. But by the time we get there, inflation has improved enough, and they end up not doing it.So, they would sound like, "Oh, we're still ready. We still think we've got more work to do." But in the moment, the data just arrives in a way that they stay where they are. So you would look back and say it was a one and done, but I don't think they go into this thinking one rate hike is going to fundamentally change the story.Matthew Hornbach: Now, of course, the data that we'll get between today and the December meeting will likely have an impact on their decision-making – as well as any revisions that we end up getting.And I think one of the stories that investors have been talking about are some of the methodological changes that the Bureau of Economic Analysis is implementing into the PCE inflation data. Do you see any scope for those types of revisions to lend itself to a one and done type of a policy for this year?Michael Gapen: It is possible. There's uncertainty about what actually those revisions are going to bring. But quality adjustments to software, for example, will over time likely bring inflation lower. Some of the revisions to the other categories. So, we do think it will on average lower year-on-year rate of inflation by about 1/10 or so, maybe a little more.So, it could show up on the high side. And then you've got what looks to be a different path.So yes, I think one of the reasons to maybe go slower, think about perhaps a quarterly pace of hikes, as opposed to, "Oh, we're just going to ramp up three, four meetings in a row," is to let some of this play out. See what those revisions look like.So yes, it could contribute to a world where revisions plus softness in the incoming data mean they hike, say, in September, don't do another one after that. Or those revisions are part of the reason why they think a slower-moving cycle rather than a more aggressive one is appropriate.Matthew Hornbach: Does the labor market play any role today in monetary policy?Michael Gapen: I think it's certainly secondary, if not tertiary. I don't want to say that the committee as a whole sees the labor market just fine and we don't have any concerns there.What's super helpful from the rate hike perspective is labor income, wage income out of the labor market is still decelerating and pretty modest. It doesn't suggest that the economy's overheating and the labor market is a source of upward pressure on inflation. So, I think that's beneficial in terms of thinking of the rate hike cycle.In the other direction, I'd say we've had a number of months now of, kind of, you know, let's call it 50,000 to 70,000 jobs a month on average if you kind of smooth through some of the volatility. That's not amazing, but it's not awful either.So Matt, I'd like to turn it back to you. This is of course the economist's perspective. When we translate this into the rates market; rates market clients may have a very different view. But I would be interested to hear your thoughts on how you think the rates market is dealing with the inflation. I don't want to say impulse, but let's call it the sticky disinflation we're getting, the sources of that inflation, and how it sees monetary policy reacting.How is the rates market digesting all of this?Matthew Hornbach: So, I think actually investors are reasonably nonplussed about what's happening in the underlying rate of inflation in the country. But what has inserted itself into the conversation is the price of energy and how impulsively energy prices have risen over recent months.When we look at how market prices evolve with respect to the path for monetary policy, what we observe empirically is that if energy prices are going up in a given week or in a given month, the market reprices to a more hawkish path for Fed policy. And if energy prices come down in a given week or a given month, and we see the market pricing towards a less hawkish path for monetary policy.So, the primary driver of how the markets are pricing the future of Fed policy is, in fact, the changes in the price of energy commodities. So, Brent crude oil, WTI crude oil, gasoline prices. And so, this is something that we just can't get away from.There are, of course, other things that do influence the level of Treasury yields, but I would suggest that they are more secondary or tertiary themselves in terms of… Similar to the labor market. I would say they have less of an impact on the overall level of yields.So, with a market-implied hiking cycle from the Fed at about three hikes or so from here, given that the Fed just delivered one rate hike, you know, the 10-year treasury yield is around 5 percent. It was much lower earlier this year, and we were pricing in two rate cuts at that point in time.So, you get the sense that if the market's moving from pricing in two rate cuts to pricing in four rate hikes, and the 10-year yield goes from 4.25 percent to 5 percent, obviously there's a relationship there.One factor that investors are certainly interested in is – how does the debt stock play a role in the level of yields? And one of the things that I've been telling people to consider is that it's not the level of the debt, the amount of debt in the economy that matters most for the level of interest rates – as odd as that may be to hear for listeners. It's how quickly that debt stock grows.So, if the debt stock is going up at a certain pace, and that pace is within the bounds of investor expectations, then it typically doesn't have that big of an impact on the bond market. So, one of the factoids that may surprise people is: about four years ago, the news media was very interested in the fact that the amount of debt in the United States had breached $31 trillion. And, the 10-year treasury yield at that time had peaked at about 4.25 percent, somewhere around there.Well, earlier this year, before the conflict in Iran began, the 10-year treasury yield was also around 4.25 percent. But this is four years later, and over these four years, the U.S. has added $9 trillion to the debt.So, here again, this is a good example, I think, of this idea that you can have a dramatic expansion in the debt from [$]31 trillion to [$]40 trillion, and yet the 10-year treasury yield itself is broadly unchanged.And so that just, I think, should tell investors that it's not the size of the debt that matters per se. Lots of other factors can influence the level of treasury yields. And how the market thinks about the Fed is certainly among the more important of those.So, Mike, just want to say thanks again for taking the time to talk after another FOMC meeting.Michael Gapen: Great speaking with you, Matt.Matthew Hornbach: And thanks for listening.

In this episode of the Financial Survival Network, host Kerry Lutz is joined by Matthew Tuttle of Tuttle Capital Management to break down the latest troubling economic indicators. Opening with a personal story about soaring everyday prices, Lutz sets the stage for a discussion on stubborn inflation, highlighted by recent PCE numbers rising at 3.7% against the Fed's 2% target. With GDP slowing to 1.5%, Tuttle outlines the sticky position this creates for the Federal Reserve and incoming Chair Kevin Warsh as they head into Jackson Hole and upcoming FOMC meetings. The duo explores the political pressure on the Fed to cut rates, the treasury market interventions by the Treasury Department, and why the long-dormant "bond vigilantes" may force interest rates higher regardless of central bank policy. Turning toward actionable investment strategies, Tuttle argues that traditional 60/40 portfolios and long-duration bonds are currently uninvestable in an inflationary environment. Instead, he shares Tuttle Capital's unique approach to modern portfolio construction: balancing high-upside AI "bottleneck" stocks with "Halo" (heavy asset, low obsolescence) value companies and century-old "Lindy" stocks. He highlights tactile assets like gold and silver—noting key technical signals for silver at $70 and $75—alongside cryptocurrency and property and casualty (P&C) insurance stocks, which he utilizes as higher-upside, zero-benchmark bond substitutes.

What if inflation has been running lower than the number the Federal Reserve has been watching?Recent research and upcoming methodology changes suggest that certain categories within the PCE inflation measure may have been overstating inflation.And that matters because PCE is one of the key inflation measures the Federal Reserve watches when making decisions about interest rates. In this week's The Brief, Kenny Simpson breaks down:• Why the inflation number may be overstated• The difference between PCE and CPI• What categories are creating the discrepancy• How portfolio management fees are being measured• How software and other services can affect the inflation calculation• What changes are being made to the methodology• How much core PCE could potentially change• Why this matters to the Federal Reserve• What it could mean for mortgage rates and interest ratesKenny discusses research from the Cleveland Fed, San Francisco Fed, Federal Reserve Board staff and others that has examined these measurement issues. But does this mean the Fed is suddenly going to start cutting rates?Not necessarily.There are still major factors affecting the rate outlook, including geopolitical uncertainty, the labor market, consumer spending, inflation and broader economic conditions.

$100 Oil Ahead? - 09/01/26

Crude oil is surging again... And suddenly $100 oil doesn't seem so far away. Renewed fighting between the United States and Iran has sent another shock through the energy markets. U.S. forces launched fresh strikes against Iranian targets, two oil tankers were reportedly attacked while leaving the Strait of Hormuz, and concerns are once again growing about the security of one of the world's most important energy chokepoints. The result? Brent crude jumped 4.6% to $94.65 per barrel, while WTI surged 5.2% to $90.22. So on today's TraderMerlin show, we're asking the obvious question: Are we heading back to $100 oil? We've already been there this year—and with tensions escalating again, it wouldn't take much to get there. But this story is much bigger than the price of crude. The Strait of Hormuz normally handles roughly 20% of the world's oil supply, making developments in Iran critical not just for energy traders, but for virtually every financial market. We'll discuss: The latest U.S.-Iran escalation – What happened and why the oil market reacted so aggressively The Strait of Hormuz – Why this narrow stretch of water remains one of the most important pieces of real estate in the global economy $100 crude oil – What would have to happen for WTI and Brent to break through triple digits again? Supply disruption – How much oil is actually at risk if tensions continue escalating? Gasoline & diesel – Why crude isn't the only energy market traders should be watching Inflation – How sustained higher energy prices could work their way through transportation, manufacturing and ultimately consumer prices The stock market – Which sectors potentially win—and which ones get hurt—if oil continues higher? And then we're going to connect oil to another huge issue facing the markets right now: The Federal Reserve's rate-hike dilemma. Fed Chairman Kevin Warsh made it clear at Jackson Hole that inflation remains too high. The Fed's preferred PCE measure is running well above its 2% target, while the economy and labor market remain relatively resilient. Today, Fed Governor Michael Barr added another warning, saying the central bank should "act decisively to raise rates" if inflation doesn't moderate sufficiently. Now throw $90+ crude oil into the equation. That's where things get complicated. Higher oil prices can push inflation higher... But they can also hurt consumers, squeeze corporate margins and eventually slow economic growth. So the Fed potentially faces an uncomfortable choice: Raise rates to fight inflation and risk slowing the economy—or hold rates steady and risk allowing inflation to become even more entrenched? That's the dilemma. And Wall Street is already responding. Treasury yields are moving higher, stocks are under pressure, and expectations for a September rate hike have jumped significantly following Warsh's Jackson Hole speech and the renewed surge in energy prices. This is the chain every trader should understand: Iran → Oil → Inflation → Federal Reserve → Interest Rates → Bonds → Stocks That's why what's happening in the Strait of Hormuz could ultimately impact your portfolio even if you've never traded a barrel of crude oil in your life.

Mortgage rates today are under pressure after Brent crude broke $90 a barrel, and the Federal Reserve just put a rate HIKE back on the table. Here is what moved, what it costs, and what I am telling my clients to do about it.Updated for Monday, August 31, 2026 — Mortgage bonds opened down 15 on oil and Middle East conflict, pushing mortgage rates toward 6.85% and possibly 7%. PCE inflation sits at 3.7% against the Federal Reserve's 2% target, with 54% of the basket running over 3% versus 32% before the pandemic. Inflation has now been above target for 64 straight months. Meanwhile 23,000 jobs were lost in July and May–June revisions erased another 103,000 — and the Fed said plainly it is focused on inflation, not jobs.Here is the part almost nobody explains to homebuyers: the Federal Reserve can raise rates and your mortgage rate can still go down. The Fed sets short-term interbank lending. Mortgage rates track the 10-Year Treasury. If bond investors believe a hike will actually control inflation, long-term yields can fall even while the funds rate rises. That mechanism is walked through at 06:40.What I am telling clients: if you are under contract, lock your mortgage rate. I cannot price around another drone strike. If you are not under contract yet, watch two things — oil and inflation. Oil back under $70 and holding is when the Federal Reserve gets room to cut and mortgage rates can finally come down. Oil at $120 is a very different conversation for the housing market.CHAPTERS00:00 Oil Just Broke $90 — Here's Why That Hits Your Rate00:39 The Chart I Check Every Morning Before Quoting a Rate01:21 What the Federal Reserve Actually Watches01:46 Inflation at 3.7% When the Target Is 2%01:59 The Data This Week That Can Move Mortgage Rates02:40 103,000 Jobs Gone — And the Fed Says It Doesn't Care04:06 The Jackson Hole Speech, Translated06:20 The Odds of a Hike Just Changed06:40 Why a Fed Hike Doesn't Have to Raise Your Mortgage Rate08:31 Lock or Float: What I'm Telling Clients Right Now10:04 Rate Watch, Loan Estimate Review and DIY Mortgage11:16 What to Watch NextNEXT STEPS

John reads Warsh's Jackson Hole speech as a nothing burger for Bitcoiners: a Fed chair must talk tough on inflation because signaling anything else would send inflation expectations and yields higher, while the long-run path of financial repression stays the same Warsh reported that 54% of PCE basket components rose more than 3% over the past year, called 4.1% unemployment full employment, and framed inflation as squarely the Fed's problem to solve Markets read the speech as hawkish anyway: the two-year yield rose about 12 basis points while gold and Bitcoin each gave back roughly 3.5% On last week's expanded Treasury buybacks, John points to two signals: a 30-year yield near 5.3% is clearly bothering policymakers, and the Fed has never meaningfully reduced its holdings of 10-year-plus Treasuries even during quantitative tightening, evidence that natural buyers of long-dated government paper are scarce The hosts revisit the shallowest bear market thesis they developed together on this show: a roughly 52% drawdown against 77% to 90%-plus in prior cycles, with the June low of $58,000 sitting just below the 200-week moving average before price rocketed back through it John explains why he believes the June low will hold, while framing the 50-week moving average near $82,000 as the level the market is watching to declare a new bull market Glassnode data shows 1.05 million Bitcoin of long-term holder supply with a cost basis between $83,000 and $86,000, the first heavy resistance shelf above spot, and the hosts discuss how cost basis shapes market psychology The debasement trade is back in ETF volumes, with GLD and IBIT both in the top ten most traded funds, and the Bitcoin-to-gold ratio breaking its year-long downtrend after gold's 2025 outperformance Bitcoin's long correlation with software stocks broke down in June, and John argues it was always the wrong frame, a point Lyn Alden's Wall Street Journal essay makes at length: Bitcoin is a protocol of value, not another technology stock A broad Treasury ETF has returned roughly negative 18% after inflation over fifteen years while the supply of government debt keeps expanding, the picture John says is quietly ending the era of Treasuries as the world's default store of value ► For high-net-worth individuals and corporations seeking to build generational wealth with Bitcoin, Swan Private is your guide ✔ https://www.swanbitcoin.com/private?utm_campaign=private&utm_medium=sponsorship&utm_source=podcast&utm_content=swan_signal_live ► Secure your bright orange future with the Swan IRA today!

Fed Talk Fuels Volatility, Fundamentals Tell a Different Story, & What Wall Street Won't Tell You

Money Wise

The Money Wise Guys are back this week with plenty to unpack as investors digest another round of economic data and renewed questions about where interest rates may be headed. On Wall Street, the Dow gained 0.5%, the S&P 500 rose 0.5%, and the Nasdaq climbed 0.8% for the week. Year to date, the Dow is up 11.4%, the S&P 500 is up 12.7%, and the Nasdaq is up 13.6%. Much of the week's attention centered on the Jackson Hole Symposium, PCE inflation data, and the market's reaction to Federal Reserve Chairman Kevin Warsh's comments. While markets interpreted his remarks as hawkish and expectations for a potential September rate increase moved higher, the team questions whether another hike is actually warranted. They look at historical PCE averages, today's inflation environment, and why investors shouldn't allow every Fed comment or short-term market reaction to dictate their decisions. From there, the conversation shifts back to what the guys believe investors should be watching: fundamentals. With 97% of S&P 500 companies having reported second-quarter results by August 28, they point to positive earnings and revenue surprises as signs of underlying corporate strength and make the case for focusing on quality companies rather than short-term headlines. Their broader message is to dig deeper: know what you own, understand what you're paying, ask who is actually making the investment decisions, and don't assume a more complicated portfolio is automatically a stronger one. Fed Talk Fuels Volatility The Federal Reserve doesn't have to actually change interest rates to move the markets. Sometimes a few words are enough. When Fed officials sound more “hawkish,” meaning they appear more willing to keep rates higher or raise them to fight inflation, investors quickly adjust their expectations for where rates may be headed. That can push Treasury yields higher and put pressure on rate-sensitive areas of the market, particularly higher-valuation technology and growth stocks. That's essentially what played out following the Jackson Hole comments discussed on this week's show, as markets reacted to the possibility that rates could remain higher or even move higher from here. For long-term investors, the important part is separating that immediate reaction from what's actually happening underneath the market. Fed policy matters, but so do earnings, valuations, economic growth, and company fundamentals. A change in rate expectations can create short-term volatility without necessarily changing the long-term investment case for a fundamentally strong company. In the second hour, the Money Wise guys give listeners a peek into what Wall Street Won't Tell You. You don't want to miss the details!

C dans l'air du 28 août 2026 - Canada, vie privée, Iran : haro sur Trump La rentrée de Donald Trump s'annonce mouvementée. Dès ce jeudi, Donald Trump a signé un décret visant à rebaptiser le lac Ontario « lac d'Amérique ». Une décision immédiatement contestée par le Premier ministre canadien Mark Carney, sur fond de fortes tensions commerciales entre les Etats-Unis et le Canada. Un différend de plus pour le président américain. Sur le plan économique, l'inflation reste élevée : l'indice PCE a progressé de 3,7 % sur un an en juillet, bien au-dessus de l'objectif de 2 % de la Réserve fédérale. La dette publique a dépassé pour la première fois la barre des 40 000 milliards de dollars. Un cap historique. De plus, les droits de douane et la hausse des prix de l'énergie compliquent encore sa promesse de rendre du pouvoir d'achat aux Américains. Sur le front militaire, Trump doit désormais gérer plusieurs crises simultanément. La guerre avec l'Iran pèse sur les capacités américaines, tandis que la Russie reste une menace pour l'Europe et que la guerre en Ukraine s'éternise. La visite du patron de la CIA, John Ratcliffe, où il a rencontré les services de renseignement russes, illustre la persistance des tensions avec le Kremlin. Au Moyen-Orient, la situation autour du détroit d'Ormuz ajoute une difficulté stratégique. Cette voie est essentielle pour les exportations de pétrole et de gaz du Golfe. Les monarchies de la région cherchent donc à développer des routes alternatives pour ne plus dépendre autant de ce passage, avec des conséquences potentielles sur les marchés de l'énergie. Pendant ce temps, aux Etats-Unis, une nouvelle gauche démocrate prend de l'ampleur. Dans le Michigan, le « progressiste » Abdul El-Sayed, a remporté la primaire lui permettant de représenter le Parti démocrate aux élections sénatoriales de novembre. Il incarne une génération plus jeune et plus radicale, centrée sur le logement, le pouvoir d'achat et les inégalités. Une montée en puissance qui bouscule également l'establishment démocrate traditionnel. Soutenu par Bernie Sanders et Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, il pourrait devenir le premier sénateur musulman de l'histoire américaine. Sa candidature offre aussi une cible rêvée à Trump, qui peut dénoncer une gauche « communiste », une rhétorique destinée à mobiliser son électorat avant les élections de mi-mandat. Quels sont les principaux défis qui attendent Donald Trump à la rentrée ? Où en est la situation géopolitique autour du détroit d'Ormuz ? Qui est Abdul El-Sayed, le symbole d'une gauche démocrate radicale qui monte aux Etats-Unis ?Nos experts :- Lucas MENGET - Grand reporter, spécialiste des questions internationales - Vincent HUGEUX - Journaliste indépendant, spécialiste des enjeux internationaux - Gallagher FENWICK - Journaliste, spécialiste des questions internationales et ancien correspondant à Washington et à Jérusalem - Patricia ALLÉMONIÈRE - Grand reporter, spécialiste des questions internationales - (En duplex) Philippe DESSERTINE - Économiste, professeur à l'Université IAE Paris Panthéon Sorbonne et auteur de "L'horizon des possibles" - (En duplex) Sonia DRIDI - Journaliste, spécialiste des États-Unis et Correspondante à Washington LCI et France 2

Brian Szytel reports markets were essentially flat, while bonds moved as the 10-year yield rose 3 bps to 4.66; oil was slightly lower amid ongoing Strait of Hormuz deal talk. Economic data was mostly positive, but headline PCE was 0.3 vs 0.2 expected (3.7% YoY) while core PCE matched expectations at 0.2 (3.3% YoY), lifting Fed futures to a 40% chance of a September hike, which he views as largely a token 25 bps timing debate into Q4. He previews Jackson Hole and Fed hawk Warsh, focusing on potential balance-sheet discussion amid Treasury plans to issue more short-term debt and buy back about $4B long-term. A listener question prompts discussion of debt absorption, real yields, overindebtedness as deflationary, and currency depreciation as a release valve, citing Japan's weakening yen alongside rising JGB yields.

Carl Quintanilla, Jim Cramer and David Faber led off the show with breaking news involving a landmark social media addiction case: Meta agreed to pay $16.7 billion in a settlement with a coalition of state attorneys general led by California. The anchors also set the stage for Nvidia's earnings due out after Wednesday's close of trading — and explored what's at stake for both the AI trade and the markets overall. Ahead of Friday's keynote by Fed Chairman Warsh at the Jackson Hole Fed symposium, PCE — the Fed's preferred inflation gauge — rose more than expected in July, with Core PCE matching economists' forecasts. Also in focus: OpenAI claims its new Jalapeño chip outperforms Nvidia processors, Intuit tumbles, Bill Gates' AI warning, Mark Walter's TWG Global blasts "attacks" and denies fraud amid a federal probe.

Today's Post - https://bahnsen.co/3U6PdsL David Bahnsen opens from The Bahnsen Group's new Santa Barbara (Montecito) office, briefly recaps markets (Dow up ~0.25%, S&P down ~0.25%, Nasdaq down ~0.75% led by semiconductors; staples and financials up, tech down), and argues recent 10-year yield trading has been relatively range-bound. He focuses on Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent's announced 30-year Treasury buybacks ($2B now, potentially $4B in September) aimed at lowering long-end rates and term premium, likening it to an “Operation Twist” style intervention. Bahnsen says the move briefly lowered the 30-year yield about 10 bps but largely failed and is unlikely to work long term, criticizing government attempts to override market price discovery. He attributes higher long yields mainly to 30-year market illiquidity and new competing long-dated issuance from AI hyperscalers. He also covers U.S.-Canada tariff threats and retaliation, upcoming data/events (PCE, durable goods, Nvidia earnings, Warsh at Jackson Hole), WTI down ~2.5% near $85, and promotes his new book, “Profit from the Prophet,” releasing tomorrow. 00:00 Welcome From Montecito 01:06 Market Snapshot Today 01:38 Is Bond Volatility Overstated 02:58 Treasury Buyback Plan Explained 05:53 Did It Work Short Term 06:59 Can It Work Long Term 07:55 Why Long Yields Rose 12:05 Concerns About Intervention 13:52 Tariffs Canada Trade Spat 15:30 Week Ahead Data And Jackson Hole 16:27 Book Launch And Wrap Up Links mentioned in this episode: DividendCafe.com TheBahnsenGroup.com

Today's top stories, with context, in just 15 minutes. On today's podcast: 1) Prime Minister Mark Carney’s government sees little chance of resuming talks with President Donald Trump before the midterm elections after trade talks collapsed. Carney is designing a domestic aid package to help businesses hurt by US tariffs, which will remain in place for the duration of the conflict and throughout the rest of Trump’s term if need be. The US has said the path for talks is unclear, with US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer stating that they don’t have new talks planned with the Canadians and are moving forward with measures that respond to Canadian retaliation. 2) Iran’s oil shipments to Asia have all but dried up, driving the cost of those cargoes to the highest levels in years. A US blockade has left loaded Iranian vessels trapped inside the Persian Gulf and a fleet of empty ones stuck outside, resulting in a scarcity of oil in the region. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is due to unveil a plan for “the greatest coordinated economic isolation in the history of the world”, targeting Chinese refiners and the banks funding them. 3) Investors are looking for Fed Chair Kevin Warsh to clarify his views on how the US central bank should react to stubborn inflation when he speaks on Friday at the annual gathering in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. The chairman's communications strategy is off to a rocky start, and he's under pressure to give clearer guidance of how the Fed might react over the remainder of the year. Recent data have shown inflation, while still above the Fed's 2% goal, may be starting to cool, with economists estimating the PCE price index rose 3.6% in July from a year ago.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What a week! Crypto surged. Bond yields jumped. Technology stocks got hit. Economic data kept traders guessing. And now Wall Street is preparing for one of the biggest earnings reports of the quarter. In today's Trading Week Wrap Up!, we'll connect the dots between the biggest market-moving stories of the week and, more importantly, discuss what they could mean as we head into a potentially HUGE week for the markets. Let's start with crypto. Bitcoin is on pace for its best week in more than two years, surging more than 20% as improving regulatory sentiment, Washington's increasingly crypto-friendly stance, and changing liquidity expectations breathed life back into the beaten-down digital asset market. Ethereum and many altcoins joined the party as well. So... Is the crypto winter finally ending, or is this just another massive bear-market rally? We'll break it down. Then there's the bond market. Long-term Treasury yields remain elevated, creating another challenge for stocks—particularly high-growth technology and AI companies whose valuations can be extremely sensitive to borrowing costs and interest rates. The 30-year Treasury yield climbed to its highest level since 2007 this week, while semiconductor stocks came under significant pressure. We'll discuss: Crypto's huge rebound – Is Bitcoin signaling a genuine change in trend? Interest rates & bond yields – Why the bond market continues to be one of the biggest risks facing equities. Technology volatility – Is the recent weakness an opportunity, or are investors finally questioning some of those massive AI valuations? Economic data – What this week's numbers tell us about inflation, growth and the direction of Federal Reserve policy. The broader market – Where are we seeing strength, weakness and potential trading opportunities? And then...

In Episode 349 of The Higher Standard, Chris breaks down why cooling CPI doesn't mean inflation is dead, why the Fed may be walking straight into a stagflation trap, and how a weakening jobs market, rising energy costs, Japan, the yen and a geopolitical oil shock are colliding at exactly the wrong time. From the 1970s and Volcker to CPI vs. PCE, shelter inflation, owners' equivalent rent and the “ghost” hiding inside year-over-year inflation math, this episode explains why the next inflation print may already be partially baked in—and why the Fed's September decision is becoming a choice between fighting prices it can't control and crushing a labor market that may already be cracking. Macroeconomics, but without pretending beef and chicken are the same thing.
