Podcasts about reserves

Today we had a fantastic conversation with Daan Struyven, Co-Head of Global Commodities Research and Managing Director, Head of Oil Research, alongside his colleague Lina Thomas, Commodities Strategist, with Goldman Sachs. Daan joined Goldman in 2015 and previously co-led the Goldman Global Economics team as well as the firm's Canada Economics research effort. He holds a Ph.D. in Economics from MIT. Lina joined Goldman after earning her Ph.D. in Economics from Harvard, where she focused on safe-haven assets. We were thrilled to welcome these Ph.D. powerhouses for a deep dive into a topic we haven't yet explored on COBT – the gold markets and how they intersect with oil, gas, copper, interest rates, tariffs, geopolitics, central banks, structural market changes, and more. In our discussion, Lina provides a detailed overview of the historical inverse relationship between gold and interest rates, and highlights the unusual strength of the gold rally that began in 2022. She describes that the rally was triggered by the freezing of Russian central bank assets in February 2022, which prompted central banks, particularly those geopolitically aligned or close to Russia, to increase gold purchases to reduce reliance on politically vulnerable reserve assets. Lina explains that in addition to modest investor inflows, ongoing central bank demand has played a critical role in sustaining gold's price rise and discusses how geopolitical proximity is a key predictor of central bank gold buying. We explore Goldman's approach to estimating actual central bank purchases, which are underreported in official data, Russia's gathering of gold reserves ahead of its invasion of Ukraine, the effects of the war and subsequent sanctions, and how Russia rerouted its gold exports similar to its post-sanction oil trade. Daan outlines Goldman's copper market outlook, including their view on proposed copper tariffs, the anticipated supply deficit by 2026 due to limited investment in new projects, their copper price forecast, and the key short-term drivers influencing copper prices. We cover gold's unique role as a stock rather than a flow asset, with only about one percent of tradable gold coming from annual mine supply, why central banks favor gold over silver, Goldman's four structural investment themes (Dollar Diversification, Defense Spending, Disinvestment in Supply, and De-risking Energy Systems), the firm's crude oil outlook over the next year, and much more. We greatly appreciate Daan and Lina for sharing their time and perspectives. Mike Bradley opened the discussion by noting that “Trumpatility” has faded considerably, with the S&P 500 Volatility Index now trading near year-to-date lows. Ironically, this introduces some degree of risk as broader markets are now technically overbought. Moody's downgraded U.S. debt by one notch this past week but U.S. bonds and equities shrugged it off, mostly because U.S. bonds don't typically move on ratings changes, but more so on inflation and employment growth, while broader equities are driven mostly by forward earnings estimates. The U.S. dollar weakened slightly on the U.S. debt downgrade while Bitcoin and gold prices are trading near all-time highs, likely a reflection of growing U.S. debt levels. He wrapped up with a roundup of notable Energy & Electricity headlines, including: Blackstone Infrastructure's $11.5 billion acquisition of TXNM Energy; Strathcona Resource's $6 billion takeover offer for MEG Energy; Phillips 66's Proxy vote battle with Elliott (involving four board nominations); Trump's unexpected reversal of his recent shutdown of Equinor's Empire Wind 1 project off Long Island; and the recent decline in Permian oil rig count and the potential associated gas growth implications. Jeff Tillery also joined and peppered in his thoughts to the discussion. We hope you find today's discussion as insightful and interesting as we did. Our best to you all!

This week on KentNow, we've activated the B-Team (but let's be honest, it stands for “Brilliant”). With Josh Gonzalez stepping in for Josh Maasberg and Mark pinch-hitting for Kyle, we're calling in the reserves and holding down the mic like seasoned pros—sort of. We're breaking down the best (and weirdest) looks from the Met Gala, mourning discontinued Starbucks drinks (but praise be to Trader Joe's for the glow-up), and reminding everyone: if you're still trying to fly with a Blockbuster card instead of a REAL ID, your travel dreams may be grounded. On the city side:

Family farm bankruptcies increased by 55% last year and are trending even higher this year, and U.S. egg production totaled 8.63 billion in March 2025, a 7% drop from the same month last year.

In this explosive episode of Soar Financially, Dr. Judy Shelton—former economic advisor to President Trump and Senior Fellow at the Independent Institute—joins us to deliver a sharp critique of the Federal Reserve and propose bold reforms that could reshape the global financial system.We unpack the true role of the Fed, gold-backed bonds, currency manipulation, Bretton Woods 2.0, and how to restore monetary integrity in America.-Why is the Fed too powerful?- Could gold-backed 50-year bonds anchor the dollar?- And is the U.S. actually “cheating” in global markets?#Gold #federalreserve #goldstandard ------------

Tom welcomes back Michael Pento, from Pento Portfolio Strategies. The discussion revolves around the current economic landscape, highlighting the Federal Reserve's challenges in balancing inflation control and recession fears. Pento argues that the Fed is constrained by a "Gordian knot" of conflicting mandates, emphasizing its focus on bailing out banks and managing government debt rather than addressing inflation effectively. He critiques the dual mandate of stable prices and full employment, suggesting that employment rates have little bearing on inflation, which stems from fiat currency devaluation. Pento also delves into the impact of tariffs, particularly those imposed by former President Trump, noting their role in exacerbating economic instability. While he acknowledges the intent behind these measures—to rebuild the middle class and reduce trade deficits—the lack of clear planning and frequent changes create uncertainty for businesses. This unpredictability complicates financial decision-making, especially for manufacturers considering relocating production. Pento advocates for a model that considers credit spreads, real interest rates, and financial conditions. He warns against passive investing in market-cap weighted indices like the S&P 500, which concentrates capital in overvalued stocks and amplifies market volatility. Instead, he recommends an active approach, emphasizing short-term bonds, gold, and selective equity exposure. Pento also discusses the role of gold as a hedge against inflation and economic instability, distinguishing between physical gold (held personally) and liquid paper gold (ETFs and mining stocks). He advises investors to allocate 5% of their net worth to physical gold for safety, with additional exposure to liquid gold based on market conditions. Finally, Pento addresses the potential for geopolitical conflicts, such as tensions with China, to drive demand for gold. He concludes by highlighting the importance of an active investment model in navigating economic uncertainty, emphasizing that investors cannot rely solely on passive strategies or the hope of market recovery.

The payment by the Federal Reserve of interest on bank reserves may sound like an abstruse matter of economic theory, but these payments are critical to bank operations and the Fed's conduct of monetary policy. In the latest  episode — sponsored by Intrafi's Banking with Interest — ABA's Jeff Huther discusses why proposals to end or reduce interest on reserves are misguided. Among other things, Huther discusses: Why ending payments could have a destabilizing effect on the financial sector. Why, under today's accounting practices, the federal government would see no near-term bottom-line boost from capturing those payments. How reducing or eliminating interest on reserves would disproportionately harm community banks. Read more in Huther's ABA DataBank post.

JPMorgan Chase (JPM), Wells Fargo (WFC) and Morgan Stanley (MS) kick off big bank earnings on Friday. Bob Lang says the group has ways to go after falling below the 200-Day SMA. He notes signs of a technical bounce but believes a "world of uncertainty" will generate headwinds. Kenneth Leon says "we still like the group" but expects analysts to be conservative and look toward loan growth and reserves as key outlook points.======== 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 – https://twitter.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/schwab-network/About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

Gold prices are solidly up and hit more record highs Monday. 58% of fund managers view gold as the best-performing haven in a trade war—leaving Bitcoin with only a 3% preference. Gold's no longer just a hedge against inflation; it's being treated as the hedge against everything: geopolitical risk, de-globalization, fiscal dysfunction, and now, weaponized trade.

The Philadelphia 76ers were no match for the Oklahoma City Thunder, as the 76ers got blown out despite the Thunder playing without MVP contender Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, in addition to absences from mainstays Isaiah Hartenstein, Lu Dort and Jalen Williams. Former 76er Isaiah Joe led a 3-point barrage for the Thunder, who ran the 76ers out of the gym with a huge second-half shooting display. With Joel Embiid and Paul George done for the season, and Tyrese Maxey out once again, the 76ers have been riding the hot hand of Quentin Grimes, but the newly-acquired Grimes had a rare off night for the Sixers in a losing effort.

These potential upgrades include a 25% boost in multi-core CPU performance, enhanced AI capabilities, and improved features like a 12MP Center Stage camera and Wi-Fi 6E support. Apple's shift to a more subtle announcement strategy marks a departure from their traditional product launch approach.We also delve into the world of AI economics with Chinese startup DeepSeek's claim of a theoretical 545% cost-profit margin for its AI models. While this figure is based on calculations involving their V3 and R1 inference systems, real-world factors significantly reduce actual revenue. DeepSeek's aggressive pricing strategy and low development costs have sparked debate within the tech community and impacted AI-related stocks.The episode's main focus is the discovery of vast "gold hydrogen" reserves beneath 30 U.S. states, as revealed by a groundbreaking USGS map. This natural hydrogen, formed through a process called serpentinization in geological formations known as rift-inversion orogens, could revolutionize clean energy production. The abundance and widespread distribution of these reserves may accelerate the transition to sustainable energy sources, potentially reshaping the global energy landscape and creating new economic opportunities in regions with significant deposits.From Perplexity's Discover Feed:https://www.perplexity.ai/page/apple-air-product-teased-QhTieZlcTwWodiMLzGzP3ghttps://www.perplexity.ai/page/deepseek-s-theoretical-545-mar-_vk4xxCjSt.tLxQJCoU2sghttps://www.perplexity.ai/page/massive-gold-hydrogen-reserves-kRgxDixrTJCI1W17S2zcbw**Introducing Perplexity Deep Research:**https://www.perplexity.ai/hub/blog/introducing-perplexity-deep-research Perplexity is the fastest and most powerful way to search the web.

Glenn Beck Special. Why Trump Must Audit Fort Knox's Gold Reserves Now! Elon Musk, through the DOGE, is shaking up the swamp and freaking out the Left. While his team is working toward government transparency, one of its next moves needs to be digging into perhaps the biggest financial secret in U.S. history: the real status of the American people's gold. For almost 90 years, America's gold reserve at Fort Knox has been locked away, unseen and mostly unverified. The last official audit was over 70 years ago, and as Glenn explains, that audit was hardly comprehensive. So what's really inside Fort Knox? With global markets shifting and questions mounting, Glenn says NOW is the time for real transparency. He traces the murky history of America's gold — from FDR's confiscation to Nixon's break from the gold standard — and warns of the financial reckoning on the horizon. And he heads to the chalkboard for a simple explanation of rehypothecation and why it matters. Is all of our gold accounted for? And if not, what happens next? As Glenn, Elon, and Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) push President Trump to open the vault and restore public trust, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent assures Americans on Bloomberg that the gold is accounted for and promised: “Any U.S. senator who wants to come and visit it can arrange a visit through our office.” Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah), who was previously denied access to Fort Knox after multiple requests, tells Glenn he's ready to take Sec. Bessent up on his offer.
