De laatste paar maanden van het jaar lijken een heftige rit te worden. De risico's stapelen zich op: de Europese economie verzwakt, het oneindige AI-optimisme kalft af, de onafhankelijkheid van de Amerikaanse centrale bank ligt onder vuur, en er is nog altijd onzekerheid rond importheffingen vanuit de VS. Daartegenover wijst de Wall Street Journal op de enorm opgelopen waarderingen van de S&P 500 bedrijven. Die zijn zelfs duurder dan voor het barsten van de Dotcom-bubbel. Stevenen we op een nieuwe crisis af? Wat is de grootste bedreiging? En hoe zorg je dat je daar levend doorheen komt? Dat zoeken we deze aflevering voor je uit. Dan hebben we het ook over het crisismanagement bij Meta. Mark Zuckerberg had een paar maanden geleden nog een gat in z'n hand. Hij gaf miljarden uit om overal het allerbeste AI-talent vandaan te plukken. Maar dat hobbyproject lijkt uit te lopen op een miljardenflop. Die knappe koppen komen namelijk nu al tot de conclusie dat de beste optie misschien is om hun AI in te kopen bij de concurrent. Overigens hoor je ook over het bewijs dat de AI van Meta nog niet op het gewenste niveau is. Hun chatbots blijken namelijk nogal wel eens de regels te overtreden, en bekendheden na te doen die daar geen toestemming voor hebben gegeven. En daar blijft het niet bij... Verder gaat het nog over de schrik in het Witte Huis. Het federale hof van beroep heeft besloten dat Trump zijn importheffingen nooit zo had mogen doorvoeren. En er komen weer nieuwe exportrestricties voorbij. Op chipmachines. Gelukkig niet die van ASML of ASMI, maar van Amerikaanse bedrijven. Die mogen niet meer naar de fabrieken van Samsung en SK Hynix in China.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On Friday's Market Talk, we hear this week's episode of Cattle Chatter with Susan Littlefield and Brad Kooima to start the show before an update on early harvest in the south with Chris Ouzts from AgriGold. Then, we talk markets with Steve Nicholson from Rabobank during this week's Farm Progress Show and close things out with Clay Creighton from Agoro Carbon Alliance also at this week's FPS.

Harvest is quickly approaching, but grower groups and the ag industry are on edge as China has yet to make a purchase from the fall U.S. soybean crop. At the Farm Progress Show, we asked American Soybean Association President Caleb Ragland about the letter ASA sent to President Trump urging a trade deal with China and about his conversation with Deputy Ag Secretary Stephen Vaden at the show. Rabobank's Stephen Nicholson says he thinks circumstances have changed too much since the China Phase One trade agreement to secure a similar deal now.Plus, National Corn Growers Association first vice president Jed Bower says the expected record corn crop is causing a push for year-round E-15. Austin Gellings from the Association of Equipment Manufacturers discusses how equipment companies are dealing with tariffs and Robb Ewoldt with the United Soybean Board discusses diversifying uses of U.S. soy both domestically and internationally.Want to receive Newsmakers in your inbox every week?

Michael Every, Global Strategist at Rabobank, returns to tackle the meta forces shaping our world. From Ukraine's frozen conflict, to China's role in peace talks, to 90-day tariff rollovers, reverse Marshall Plans, and the rise of dollar-backed stablecoins—this is not just economics, it's 4D chess.We cover: geopolitics reshaping markets, U.S. vs. China as the defining rivalry of the century, what tariffs really mean for inflation, the Fed's limits in stagflation, and whether stablecoins will rewrite the global financial order. Every explains why the old playbook is dead—and why caution is the only safe strategy in this uncertain era.#Geopolitics #Markets #Gold------------

It seems unthinkable that a simple legal loophole for hemp would lead to the de facto legalization of marijuana edibles in the United States, but here we are. Intoxicating hemp products are everywhere, and everyone seems to be excited about them. But the story of hemp-derived THC's rise and the greatest threat to its future are inexorably linked to its legal status. In this episode, we speak to two legal experts, Marc Hauser and Rebecca Stamey-White, about how the intoxicating hemp business came to life, how long it could last, and how the sector's tenuous legal status is influencing every aspect of the industry, from who invests and founds a hemp business to where it can be sold.  Be sure to check out Marc's fantastic substack “Cannabis Musings”: Click here.   Want to sign up for our written research?

President Trump gaat achter de chip- en semiconductorsector aan. Er komt een tarief van 100 procent, tenzij bedrijven (een deel van) hun productie naar de VS verplaatsen. Een flink dreigement, maar het slaat behoorlijk dood. Aandelen van chipbedrijven van over de hele wereld dalen niet, maar stijgen juist.Deze aflevering kijken we waarom aandeelhouders van ASML, Besi, ASMI en al die andere chippers lak hebben aan Trumps dreigende woorden. Nemen ze hem minder serieus?Serieus zijn wél de heffingen die hij oplegt aan andere landen. Die gaan vandaag in. Een tarief van 19 procent voor Britse producten, tot 50 procent voor spullen uit India. Veel is niet uitgewerkt en er is onduidelijkheid voor ondernemers en overheden. We proberen deze aflevering te kijken hoe het voor jou als belegger uitpakt. Hebben we het ook over een opmerkelijke oproep van Trump (hij had het druk ja). Hij eist per direct het ontslag van de ceo van Intel. Volgens Trump heult de ceo samen met de Chinezen.Verder hebben we het over de crisissituatie in Zwitserland. De president vloog naar Washington, maar tevergeefs. Ze moeten alsnog een torenhoog tarief betalen. Dat is een probleem, want het kost maar liefst een procent van hun BBP.Dit kan je verder verwachten: Sony verhoogt de winstverwachting voor dit jaar. Analisten zijn ook al positief over volgend jaar Aandeel Eli Lilly beleeft een horrordag (ondanks dat ze omzet- en winstverwachting opkrikken) SBM Offshore verhoogt de verwachtingen ook, maar aandeel wordt ook gedumpt AirBNB denkt dat mensen minder op vakantie gaan See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dennis is an agricultural economist at the Commonwealth Bank of Australia and prior to that at Rabobank. Thoroughly researched, War and Wheat tells the story of how the agricultural markets fared during World War I, World War II and the recent Russian invasion of Ukraine and elucidates key learnings on how commodity markets function and how commodity traders can better navigate the more volatile times ahead.  The book is available here: https://www.amazon.com.au/War-Wheat-Navigating-markets-conflict/dp/1763580938

A Rabobank report reveals our avocado industry saw a strong recovery last year after crop losses in 2023, due to Cyclone Gabrielle.

Op de afscheidsreceptie van Klaas Knot waren louter lovende woorden te horen over de man die 14 jaar aan het hoofd stond van De Nederlandsche Bank. ‘Alle lof voor Klaas, hij heeft geen blunders begaan,’ zegt macro-econoom Arnoud Boot, die bij de receptie aanwezig was en de bitterballen heeft laten staan. Maar inhoudelijk is er wel reden voor kritische vragen, meent hij. ‘Maar daarvoor heb je geen afscheidsreceptie.’ Eerst maar even, hoe was het? De frituurpannen draaiden overuren, de bitterballen vonden gretig aftrek. Iedereen was er: de topman van ING, van de Rabobank, de Nederlandse Vereniging van Banken. Van alles en nog wat was er. Het geluk was dat het officiële gedeelte met de speeches maar een half uur duurde. Ik ben bij meer recepties geweest met mensen van een vergelijkbaar leeftijdsprofiel, waar die speeches dermate lang waren dat letterlijk mensen flauwvielen. Dan werd er even onderbroken tot die persoon weer opgetakeld was. Dat was hier gelukkig niet zo. Welke inhoudelijke opmerkingen zijn er gemaakt? Op een afscheidsreceptie worden nu eenmaal alleen positieve dingen gezegd, en daar is ook alle reden toe. Klaas Knot heeft het veertien jaar gedaan en geen enkele blunder begaan. Alle lof voor hem en hoe hij het heeft gedaan. Hij heeft zich inhoudelijk staande gehouden en geen uitglijders gemaakt. Als je hem hoorde spreken, kreeg je ook de indruk dat het uitstekend gaat met de Nederlandse banken. En qua financiële stabiliteit is dat ook zo: ze staan niet op omvallen. Maar de vraag is of ze wel genoeg doen voor de samenleving. Daar kun je zeker grote vraagtekens bij zetten. Is dat een verwijt aan Klaas Knot dan? De vraag is hoe sturend een president van De Nederlandsche Bank eigenlijk kan zijn, omdat het toezicht op de grote banken inmiddels vooral in Frankfurt gebeurt, bij de Europese Centrale Bank. Je moet je afvragen hoe de financiële sector is georganiseerd en of die nog bijdraagt aan de wereld van morgen. Daar kun je namelijk veel kritischer over zijn. Want een president van een lokale centrale bank speelt wél een belangrijke publieke rol, bijvoorbeeld in het uitleggen van economische en monetaire kwesties. Maar het ministerie van Financiën is in de afgelopen jaren door een groot aantal verschillende bewindspersonen geleid, en niet altijd door mensen die op de goede plek zaten. Klaas Knot heeft wekelijks overleg met de minister van Financiën. Juist in een periode met veel wisselingen op dat ministerie is het cruciaal om een stabiele factor te hebben: iemand die het economische en monetaire beleid goed kan duiden en uitleggen. In zekere zin werkt zo’n centrale bankpresident ook opvoedkundig richting de minister van Financiën. Ik denk dat Klaas Knot dat goed heeft gedaan. Nu neemt Olaf Sleijpen het van Knot over. En Knot zelf? Hij was onderdeel van de ECB en wordt genoemd als opvolger van Christine Lagarde. Maar de echte uitdaging zit in de invloed van Nederland in Brussel. Daar zijn we via Wopke Hoekstra op een zijtafel gepositioneerd. We moeten niet gaan mikken op een ECB-president. Klaas Knot gaat heus wel een mooie andere betrekking vinden ergens. Wij moeten werk maken van onze invloed in de Europese Commissie. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Welcome to a very special edition of Business of Drinks. In this episode, co-hosts Erica Duecy and Scott Rosenbaum team up with Rabobank's Liquid Assets podcast hosts — VP of Beverage Research Bourcard Nesin and Senior Beverage Analyst Jim Watson — for the first-ever Bev-Alc Debate Club.Today's topic? The question that's haunting boardrooms and bottling lines across the country: What's wrong with the alcohol industry?To unpack it, we went head-to-head in a spirited draft format. Each of us chose what we believe is the biggest force behind Bev-Alc's current decline — and then we debated the heck out of it.What followed was a lively, insightful, and at times contrarian conversation that spanned:

This episode is brought to you by the Insta360 GO 3S action cameraThis week, James and Will are joined by ex-pro Levi Leipheimer. Levi turned pro in 1997 and in 2000 hit the big time with US Postal, riding as a teammate of Lance Armstrong. Stints at Rabobank, Astana and Radioshack followed, during which time he won the Tour de Suisse, three Tours of California, the Dauphine and two stages of the Vuelta a España, finishing second in Spain in 2008. His last contract at QuickStep in 2012 was cut short after Levi admitted to doping during his career, his admittance of guilt and subsequent testimony playing a role in the take down of Lance Armstrong. Today Levi is open about this part of his past, and here he speaks candidly about doping, both his feelings at the time and his feelings on the subject now, both in the context of US Postal and the early 2000s and the cycling now.Today, Levi heads up the event he founded some 16 years ago, Levi's Gran Fondo amateur race and its pro-race sibling, The Growler. As the US calendar shrinks, the 220km Growler is said to be 'the hardest one-day race in North America', and the only race broadcast live in the States, this year via YouTube. Levi talks us through the importance of the Growler to the US domestic scene, from the $156,000 prize purse that helps fund poorly paid pros, to the platform it offers young talent.Interview begins at 8:13------This episode is brought to you by Insta360, the 360-degree filming action camera specialists.

Michael Every of Rabobank discusses the evolving global financial and geopolitical landscape. He explores the potential transformation of the dollar system from one based on financialization to one focused on industrial production, possibly involving Bitcoin as a strategic reserve and dollar stablecoins, with the aim of reducing inequality both within and between countries. The conversation also touches on the concept of multipolarity and the emergence of regional blocs, while questioning whether any alternative currency or system can truly replace the dollar's global acceptance. He examines the potential for military conflict in this great interregnum period and explains neo-mercantilism as the key takeaway.
