This episode aims to provide you with the tools to understand, value, and manage the assets, exposures, and risks in your portfolios and to capitalize on opportunities that come along only once every hundred years.

They discuss how developed world governments are likely to repress capital, what you want to own in such a world, what you don't want to own, and how to tell the difference. They also discuss what a new Chinese monetary order might look like, which countries would participate, and how such a system would build off China's efforts to digitize the Yuan and create a Chinese-built digital payments infrastructure that extends beyond China's borders as part of the Digital Silk Road initiative. They also discuss the prospects for a strategic Bitcoin fund, the use of stablecoins as an extension of Dollar hegemony, and the fate of the Euro in a world torn between Beijing and Washington.

Central authorities on Friday relaxed restrictions to allow residents in selected areas of Guangdong province to visit Hong Kong and Macao more frequently, just in time for the peak travel season.11月29日，中央政府决定放宽限制，允许广东省部分地区的居民更频繁地前往香港和澳门，正好赶上旅游旺季。This decision has been welcomed by various sectors in the two special administrative regions as a boon to tourist spending.这一决定有利于促进游客消费，受到两个特别行政区各界的欢迎。Starting on Sunday, travel permits will be reinstated, enabling residents of Shenzhen to visit Hong Kong as often as they wish each year, with a maximum stay of seven days per visit, according to a statement from the National Immigration Administration.根据中华人民共和国出入境管理局的声明，自12月1日起，深圳居民可以申请办理赴香港旅游“一签多行”签注，在1年内可不限次数往来香港地区，每次在香港逗留不超过7天。Beginning in January, residents of the Guangdong-Macao In-Depth Cooperation Zone in Hengqin will also be eligible to apply for a similar multiple-entry permit for Macao. Residents of Zhuhai will then be able to obtain permits allowing them to visit Macao up to once a week for a maximum of seven days.自今年1月起，横琴粤澳深度合作区居民也可以申请办理类似的赴澳门旅游“一签多行”签注；珠海市居民可申请办理赴澳门旅游“一周一行”签注，每周可前往澳门一次，每次逗留不超过7天。In response, Macao's police force on Friday pledged to improve border crossing efficiency, noting that these measures would solidify Macao's status as a global tourism and leisure center while promoting regional integration.对此，澳门治安警察局29日承诺将提升通关效率，并指出这些措施将巩固澳门作为全球旅游休闲中心的地位，促进区域一体化。Meanwhile, a spokesperson for the Hong Kong SAR expressed gratitude to the central government for the policy change.同时，香港特区政府发言人对中央政府的政策调整表示感谢。The spokesperson said this development is expected to boost the tourism, dining and retail sectors in the SAR.发言人表示，这一发展将惠及香港旅游业、餐饮业和零售业的发展。The new arrangements also allow individuals without hukou (household registration documents) but who hold Shenzhen residence permits to obtain multiple-entry travel permits. An official estimate indicates that the expansion will increase the number of eligible Shenzhen residents for multiple-entry permits to over 10 million.新政策还允许没有户口但持有深圳居住证的个人获得多次入境旅游许可。据官方估计，扩大后符合多次往返签注条件的深圳居民人数将超过1000万。In 2009, the central government introduced a policy allowing Shenzhen residents to visit Hong Kong as often as desired within a one-year validity period as part of an initiative to support the global financial hub during the financial crisis at that time.2009年，中央政府出台了一项政策，允许深圳居民在一年有效期内任意访问香港，作为当时金融危机期间支持全球金融中心举措的一部分。However, the influx of mainland travelers quickly overwhelmed entry and exit checkpoints and urban centers, straining relations with locals. Some Shenzhen residents even exploited the permits for illicit smuggling activities, leading authorities to cap such crossings to once a week in 2015.然而，大量内地游客的涌入很快就使出入境检查站和城市中心不堪重负，与当地居民的关系也变得紧张起来。一些深圳居民甚至利用这一通行许可进行非法走私活动，导致当局在2015年将此类过境限制为每周一次。The relaxation almost a decade later has been hailed by many as a "cardiac stimulant" for local businesses, with numerous observers recognizing the vital role that mainland consumers play in helping the business sector navigate challenging times.近十年后的今天，这种政策放宽被许多人誉为当地企业的“强心剂”，许多观察家认识到，内地消费者在帮助商业部门渡过难关方面发挥着至关重要的作用。Peter Shiu Ka-fai, a Hong Kong legislator representing the wholesale and retail sector, told local media that the consumption patterns of mainland tourists have evolved over the years, and they are more inclined to explore various areas in depth rather than merely visiting established attractions, requiring local businesses to adapt accordingly.香港立法会批发及零售界议员邵家辉向当地媒体表示，经过多年演变，内地游客的消费模式更倾向于深入探索各个地区，而不仅仅是游览已有的景点，这就要求本地企业做出相应调整。This relaxation of restrictions coincides with Hong Kong's efforts to attract more visitors through hosting concerts, exhibitions and other mega-events. Officials, including Hong Kong SAR Chief Executive John Lee Ka-chiu, have sought the central authority's support to restore the previous travel policy to facilitate these plans.放宽限制的同时，香港正在努力通过举办演唱会、展览和其他大型活动来吸引更多游客。包括香港特区行政长官李家超在内的官员已寻求中央政府的支持，以恢复之前的旅游政策，促进这些计划的实施。Now with the relaxation just a few days away, Hong Kong SAR Chief Secretary for Administration Eric Chan Kwok-ki instructed all departments at an internal conference on Thursday to collaborate and ensure the smooth operation of ports, tourism facilities and public transport to enhance travel experiences.28日，距离新政策实施仅有几天时，香港特区政务司司长陈国基在内部会议上指示各部门通力合作，确保港口、旅游设施和公共交通顺畅运行，以提升旅游体验。Dennis Lam Shun-chiu, a Hong Kong deputy to the National People's Congress — the country's top legislature — said that this reinstatement is timely. He noted that various tourist-drawing events, including drone shows, fireworks displays, concerts and the New Year's countdown, are just around the corner.全国人大代表林顺潮表示，恢复这一规定非常及时。他指出，无人机表演、烟花表演、演唱会和新年倒计时等各种吸引游客的活动即将到来。Since early this year, many restrictions have been eased to provide mainland residents with increased flexibility when visiting Hong Kong and Macao.今年年初以来，许多限制措施已经放宽，为内地居民前往香港和澳门提供了更大的灵活性。Notably, 10 new cities across the nation have been added to the existing list of locations whose residents can now visit Hong Kong and Macao without the need to join tour groups. Additionally, the duty-free allowance for mainland residents returning from Hong Kong has been raised.值得注意的是，全国新增10个城市的居民现无需参加旅行团即可前往香港和澳门旅游。此外，内地居民从香港返回内地的免税额也有所提高。The Chinese General Chamber of Commerce, Hong Kong, on Friday recommended that Hong Kong authorities promote payment methods favored by mainland consumers, such as electronic payments and the digital RMB, and suggested exempting fees for cross-border transactions to encourage spending.29日，香港中华总商会建议香港当局推广内地消费者喜爱的支付方式，如电子支付和数字人民币，并建议推出免手续费跨境汇款以鼓励消费。Peng Peng, executive president of the Guangdong Society of Reform, said that the new travel policies related to Macao are highly beneficial for Hengqin's real estate sector, which is close to Macao.广东省体制改革研究会执行会长彭澎表示，有关澳门的新旅游政策对邻近澳门的横琴房地产业大有裨益。"The new permit policy will attract talent to Hengqin and play a key role in promoting the integrated development of Macao and Hengqin," Peng said.“新的通行政策将吸引人才到横琴发展，对促进澳门和横琴的融合发展发挥了重要作用。”彭澎说。cardiac stimulant强心剂Guangdong-Macao In-Depth Cooperation Zone横琴粤澳深度合作区peak travel season旅游旺季

The BRICS+ summit was held in the Russian city of Kazan this past October. The original BRICS comprised four countries: Brazil, Russia, India, and China. The first meeting that they held was in 2009. South Africa joined in 2011. BRICS has now grown to include Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, and the United Arab Emirates. The recent summit also invited 13 countries to the group as partner states. Countries that have expressed interest in joining BRICS include Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand (which is a U.S. treaty ally), and Turkey (which is a member of NATO).As countries in the Global South flock to form an increasingly significant geopolitical bloc in which China has assumed a leading role, it is important to understand how BRICS+ fits into China's foreign policy strategy and the role that the BRICS mechanism is likely to play going forward. To discuss these issues, host Bonnie Glaser is joined by Alexander Gabuev, director of the Carnegie Russia Eurasia Center which is based in Berlin. His research focuses on Chinese and Russian foreign policy. Timestamps[00:00] Start[01:37] Behind the Creation of BRICS[04:08] BRICS+ in China's Foreign Policy Objectives[06:20] Domination of China in BRICS+[09:13] Russian and Chinese Interest in BRICS+[14:16] China and the Expansion of BRICS[18:07] Noteworthiness of the Kazan Declaration[21:10] Possibility of a BRICS Currency[28:11] BRICS+ and U.S. Policy Under Donald Trump[30:26] Responding to BRICS+ and a Multipolar World

Hello 大家好，感谢收听Lead Her Way! 上期和友台Slightly Open 的朋友们聊了聊创始人的天赋秉性、品味和选择后，我对这个问题更加的痴迷，到底什么样的人能“成事儿“，当然成事儿的定义不同，但是在创业这个语境里，有一个必不可少的衡量标准，就是有没有足够多的人为你做的产品、服务掏钱买单。在思考了很久后，我决定推出Lead Her Way 播客的新系列，就叫十亿俱乐部，采访的对象是中国消费品品牌创始人，在相对较短的时间内把业务量做到了十亿人民币的体量；因为我觉得十亿是一个里程碑，不仅仅是财务上的，更是对创始人一个特别大的考验，怎么做人，怎么管人，下一步怎么走，都是挑战。这个系列的第一位嘉宾是吕哥Olivia, 她是宠物食品品牌诚实一口的联合创始人。我第一次见她，我觉得这个女生非常“冷“。 直接、冷漠且不修边幅。我们聊了两个多小时，她思路特别清晰，直击事物本质，完全不掩饰自己的野心，对自己的认知清晰明了。她和她的联合创始人（也是她的先生）， 在经历了三年创业摸索失败后，在2020 年上线了宠物食品品牌诚实一口，一路走来，到了今年，4 年多的时间把销售额做到了十亿人民币。她们没烧钱，完全盈利，只在很早的时候，拿了很小的一笔投资，拿投资的理由是，想选择条难走的路。Olivia 非常直接，真性情，不仅仅讲了一路走来踩过的坑，还聊了很多干货，比如为什么要做消费者调研？什么时候融资？什么时候你需要个ceo coach？ 这期播客我学到了很多，也希望对你有些启发。Enjoy!Hello everyone, thank you for tuning in to Lead Her Way!In the last episode, I discussed with friends from the show Slightly Open about the innate qualities, tastes, and choices of founders. This deepened my fascination with the question of what kind of people can truly "make things happen." The definition of "making things happen" can vary, but in the context of entrepreneurship, a crucial measure is whether enough people are willing to pay for your product or service. After much contemplation, I've decided to launch a new series for the **Lead Her Way** podcast called the Billion Club, featuring founders of Chinese consumer brands that have achieved sales of one billion RMB in a relatively short time. I believe reaching one billion is a milestone—not just financially, but also a significant test for founders in terms of how to conduct themselves, manage others, and decide on the next steps, all of which are challenges.The first guest in this series is Olivia, co-founder of the pet food brand **诚实一口** (Honest Bite). When I first met her, I found her to be very "cold." Direct, indifferent, and unpolished. We talked for over two hours, and her thinking was exceptionally clear, cutting to the essence of things. She didn't hide her ambition and had a strong self-awareness. After three years of trial and error, she and her co-founder (who is also her husband) launched **诚实一口** in 2020, and in just over four years, they've achieved one billion RMB in sales. They didn't burn cash; they are fully profitable and only took a small investment early on, motivated by a desire to choose a challenging path.Olivia is very straightforward and genuine. She shared not only the pitfalls they've encountered along the way but also a lot of practical insights, such as why consumer research is essential, when to seek funding, and when you might need a CEO coach.I learned a lot from this episode and hope it inspires you as well.本期特别感谢黑蚁资本Victoria 介绍我认识吕哥Olivia:)

It took an escalation in Iran-Israel tensions and the optimism generated by the Chinese government's stimulus efforts to lift oil out of its three-month downward trajectory.  Nevertheless, sustaining bullish price momentum in oil has proven to be a high maintenance task: without additional catalysts, the ‘war' and ‘stimulus' premiums have been prone to fading. While possible, Israel is likely to avoid Iranian oil infrastructure. Conversely, the rising expectations for RMB 2 trn fiscal stimulus are likely to be met.   Speaker: Natasha Kaneva, Head of Global Commodities Research   This podcast was recorded on 11, October, 2024.

Our Global Head of Fixed Income and Thematic Research Michael Zezas and Chief Asia Economist Chetan Ahya discuss how the upcoming US elections might impact economic policies in Asia.----- Transcript -----Michael Zezas: Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Michael Zezas, Morgan Stanley's Global Head of Fixed Income and Thematic Research.Chetan Ahya: And I'm Chetan Ahya, Morgan Stanley's Chief Asia Economist.Michael Zezas: Today, we'll talk about what the US election means for Asia's economy.It's Wednesday, October 9th at 10am in New York.Chetan, we're less than a month now from the US election, and when I think about what it means for Asia, perhaps the most immediate and direct impact would be via tariffs.Now, our colleagues have already addressed some of this on the podcast, but I'm eager to hear your thoughts. And in the case of a Trump win and a significant tariff increase on China, how big of an impact do you think this policy would have on China's economy, and what particular areas of the economy might be most affected?Chetan Ahya: Well, Mike, I think firstly the tariff numbers being floated, i.e. that if it is 60 per cent, it would mean an increase in tariff of about 35 percentage points over an existing number, which is at 25 per cent. So, the amount of tariffs that we're talking about this time are larger than what we saw in 2018-19. And in terms of implications, of course, it will depend upon exactly what is the magnitude of tariff that is being imposed, but we definitely think there will be a significant downside to China's growth; and we expect an increase in deflationary pressures.Just to give you a bit of perspective of what happened in 2018-19, tariff resulted into China's growth slowing by a full percentage point from 6.9 per cent to 5.9 per cent; and at the same time, we saw that there was downward pressure on China's inflation dynamic. And the timing of tariffs this time does not seem to be great. China is going through an existing challenge of debt deflation loop. And we've seen that China's GDP deflator, which is a broader measure of prices, has been in deflation already for about seven quarters now. And so, in this context, tariffs will further add to its deflationary pressures and make that macro situation much more complicated.Michael Zezas: Got it. And so, how do you think China might respond if it becomes the target of higher tariffs?Chetan Ahya: So, we think China's policy makers could take up three sets of measures to mitigate the impact of tariffs.Number one, there will be, of course, depreciation in its exchange rate, which will be offsetting some part of the tariff increase effect. And so, for example, the weighted average tariff increase was about 18 percentage points during 2018-19, and the RMB depreciation was about 11 per cent. So, there was a significant offset of that tariff increase by currency depreciation.Number two, China could continue to take its effort to rewire trade flows and supply chain. So, for example, in 2018-19, we've seen a significant rewiring of exports from China to the US via Vietnam and Mexico, and we think this time that could be expanded to some more economies.And number three, China also resorted to focusing on new markets, i.e. some of the other emerging markets other than US. And at the same time, they focused on introducing new export products; like in the last cycle, they focused on solar panels, lithium batteries, EVs, and old generation chips. So, in effect, they will try to expand their market base from US into other emerging markets. And at the same time, they will be focusing on new products to ensure that their market share in global goods exports is maintained.So, Mike, we've been discussing the potential impact of a Trump win. But how would a Harris White House shape trade policy, vis-à-vis China and rest of Asia?Michael Zezas: Yeah, I think a Harris White House would represent a lot of continuity with the Biden White House's approach toward Asia and China, specifically when it comes to trade. That is to say, there's a lot of support for continued use and expansion of non-tariff barriers – things like export controls, and inbound and outbound investment restrictions. And there's less interest in using higher tariffs than what we already have as a tool.So, you can expect that. And I think you could also expect there to be kind of a broader reach out to develop economic relationships with Pan Asia as a means of enabling some of the transition that multinational companies would need to rewire their supply chains.But if we take as a given that that might be Harris's approach to trade policy, Chetan, what's your outlook for Asia if she wins in November?Chetan Ahya: Well, if Harris wins, that would eliminate the key risk to region's outlook in form of significant tariff implementation. And in this case, we expect status quo to our Asia forecast. And we would maintain our constructive outlook for the large economies in the region. And within the group, we think India and Japan are best positioned from a structural standpoint. While China, we were concerned about the debt deflation loop, but with the recent set of policy measures, we think that the risks are now more balanced as far as China macro-outlook is concerned.Michael Zezas: Got it. Well, Chetan, thanks for taking the time to talk. This is obviously a very important topic as we get closer to the US election.Chetan Ahya: Great speaking with you, Mike.Michael Zezas: And as a reminder, if you enjoy Thoughts on the Market, please take a moment to rate and review us wherever you listen; and share Thoughts on the Market with a friend or colleague today.

Morgan Stanley's chief economists take stock of a resilient global economy that has weathered a recent period of market volatility, in Part I of our two-part roundtable.----- Transcript -----Seth Carpenter: Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Seth Carpenter, Morgan Stanley's Global Chief Economist. And on this special episode of the podcast, we'll hold our third roundtable discussion focusing on Morgan Stanley's global economic outlook as we enter the final quarter of 2024.I am joined today by our economics team from three regions.Chetan Ahya: I'm Chetan Ahya, Chief Asia Economist.Jens Eisenschmidt: I'm Jens Eisenschmidt, Chief Europe Economist.Diego Anzoategui: I'm Diego Anzoategui from the US Economics team.It's Monday, October 7th at 10 am in New York.Jens Eisenschmidt: And 3 pm in London.Seth Carpenter: I have to say, a lot has happened since the last time we held this roundtable. To say the very least, we've had volatility in financial markets. But on balance, I kind of have to say the global economy has more or less performed the way we expected.The US economy is cruising towards a soft landing. The labor market maybe is a touch softer than we expected, but consumer spending has remained resilient. In Asia, Japan's reflation story is largely intact, while China is still confronting that debt deflation cycle that we've talked about. And in Europe, the tepid growth we had envisioned -- well, it's continuing. Inflation is falling, but the ECB seems to be accelerating its rate cuts. So, let's get into the details.Diego, I'm going to start with you and the US. The Fed cut interest rates in September for the first time this cycle, and they cut by 50 basis points instead of the 25 basis points that some people -- including us -- were expecting. So, the big question for you is, where does the Fed go from here?Diego Anzoategui: So, we are looking for a string of 25 basis point cuts from the Fed as long as labor markets hold up. Inflation has come down notably and we expect a normalization of interest rates ahead. But, of course, we might be wrong again. Labor markets might cool too much, and in that case, one or two additional 50 basis point cuts might happen again.Seth Carpenter: So, either the Fed glides into the soft landing or they pick up the pace and they cut faster.So, Jens, let me turn to you and pivot to Europe. You recently changed your forecast for the ECB, and you're now looking for a rate cut in October. And that's following two cuts already that the ECB has done. So, what prompted your change? Is it like what Diego said about a softer outcome prompting a faster pace of cuts. What's likely to happen next for the ECB?Jens Eisenschmidt: That's right. We changed our ECB call. And to understand why we have to go back to September. So already at the September meeting the ECB president, Lagarde, made clear in the press conference that the bank was a little bit less concerned about structurally high services inflation that is forecast to be persistently high still for some time to come -- mainly because there was more conviction that wages would come down eventually.And so, they could really focus a little bit more, give a bit more attention to the growth side of things. Just as a reminder, the Fed has a dual mandate. So, it's growth and inflation. The ECB only has inflation. So basically, if the ECB wants to act on growth, it needs to be sure that inflation is under control. And then since September what happened is that literally every single indicator, leading indicator, for inflation was negative. We had lower oil prices, we had a stronger euro, and of course, also weaker activity in terms of the PMIs pointing to a cooling of the ongoing recovery.So, all of that led us to revise our inflation forecast, and that means that ECB will very likely already be a target mid next year. That should lead to an acceleration of the rate cut cycle. And then it's only a question, will it be already in October or in December? And here comes the September inflation print in, which was softer in particular on the core or on the services component than expected. And we think that has tilted the balance; or will tilt the balance in favor of an October rate cut.So, what we see now is October, December, January, March -- 25 basis points rate cuts by the ECB leading to a rate of 250. Then this being close to neutral, they will slow down again, quarterly rate cut pace. So, June, September, December, 25 basis points each -- leading to a final rate end of next year at 175.Seth Carpenter: Okay, got it. So, inflation has come down in most developed market economies. Central banks are starting to cut. For the Fed, there's an open question about how much strength the labor market still has and whether or not they need to do 50 basis points or 25.But I have to say, Chetan -- and I'm going to come to you because -- in Asia, we saw a lot of market turmoil in August, and that was partly prompted by the rate hike of the BoJ. So, here's a developed market economy central bank that's not cutting. In fact, they're starting to raise interest rates. So, what happened there? And what do you think happens with the BoJ going forward?Chetan Ahya: Well, Seth, in our base case, we do expect BoJ to hike by another 25 basis points in January next year. And as regards to your question on what happened in terms of the volatility that we saw in the month of August? Essentially, as the BoJ took up its first rate hike, there was a lot of concern that BoJ will go in a consecutive manner, taking up successive rate hikes. But at the end of the day, what we saw was, BoJ realizing that there is a clear endogeneity between financial conditions and their reaction function. And as that communication was clearly laid out, we saw markets calming down. And now going forward, what we think BoJ will be watching will be the data on inflation and wages.We think they would be waiting to see what happens to the inflation data in the month of November and October, i.e., whether there is a clear, rise in services inflation, which has been running at around 1.3 per cent. And they would want to see that wage pass through to services inflation is continuing.And then secondly, they will want to see what is happening to the wage expectations from the workers in the next round of spring wage negotiations. The demand from workers will be clear by the end of this year, so sometime in December. And therefore, we think BoJ will look at that information and then take up a rate hike in the month of January next year.Seth Carpenter: Okay, so if I step back for a second, even if there are a few parts of the puzzle that still need to fall into place, it sounds to me like you're saying the Japan reflation story is still intact. Is that fair?Chetan Ahya: That's right. We think that, you know, the comment from the prime minister that came out a few days back; he's very clear that he wants to see a situation where Japan gets rid of deflation. So, we think that the policymakers are fully lined up to ensure that the reflation story remains intact.Seth Carpenter: That's super helpful and it just absolutely contrasts with what we've been saying about China, where they have sort of the opposite story. There's been a debt deflation cycle that you and the Chinese team have really been highlighting for a long time now, talking about the challenges for policy.We did get some news out of Beijing in terms of policy stimulus. Could you and break down for us what happened there and whether or not you think that's enough to really shift China's trajectory away from this debt deflation cycle?Chetan Ahya: Yes, Seth, so essentially, we got three things from Chinese policy makers. Number one, they took up big monetary policy easing. Number two, they announced a package to support the equity markets. And number three, they announced some measures to support the property market.Now we think that these measures are a positive and particularly the property market measures will be helpful. But in terms of real impediment for China's reflation story, we think that the key need of the hour is to take up aggressive fiscal easing to boost consumption. Monetary policy easing is helpful, but it's not really the key impediment to the reflation path.Seth Carpenter: All right, so if I wanted to see the glass as half full, I would say, look at this! Beijing policymakers have turned the corners. They're acknowledging that there's some policy impetus that needs to be put into place. But if I wanted to see the glass as half empty, I could take away from what you just said, that there just needs to be more, maybe fiscal stimulus to directly promote household spending.Is that that fair?Chetan Ahya: That's absolutely right. What's happening in China is that there has been a big structural adjustment in the property sector because now the total population is declining. And so therefore there is a big demand hole that is being left by the weakness in housing sector.Ideally, what they should be doing, as I was mentioning earlier, [is] that they should be taking a big fiscal easing to support consumption spending. But so far what we've been seeing is that they've been trying to fill that demand hole with more supply in form of investment in manufacturing and infrastructure sector.And unfortunately, that's been actually making the deflation challenge more complex. So going forward, we think that, you know, we should be watching out what they do in terms of fiscal stimulus. There was a comment in the Politburo statement that they will take up fiscal easing. We suspect that the timing of that fiscal policy announcement could be by end of this month alongside National People's Congress meeting. And so, what will be the size of fiscal stimulus will be important to watch as well.Currently, we think it could be one to two trillion RMB. But in our work that we did in terms of what is the scale of fiscal stimulus that is needed to boost consumption, we estimate that it should be somewhere around a 10 trillion RMB spread over two years.Seth Carpenter: Got it. Thanks, Chetan. Super helpful.Gentlemen, I have to say, we might have to stop here for the day. But tomorrow, I want to get [to] another topic, which is to say, the upcoming US election. It's got huge implications for the macroeconomy in the US and around the world. And I think we're going to have to touch on it. But for now, we'll end the conversation here.And thank you, the listeners, for listening.

In this episode of Palisades Gold Radio, Tom Bodrovics interviews Professor Joel Litman, CEO and Chief Investment Strategist of Valens Research and Altimetry Research. Litman criticizes the financial system's reliability, questioning media credibility and the effectiveness of modern accounting standards. He believes that while GDP is inadequate as a measure of economic strength due to its tax-based foundation, the US benefits from a lower tax rate and substantial income generation. Despite his concerns over political spending, Litman trusts there's a control on deficits and sustained growth, believing in the US economy's resilience. He reprimands financial media for prioritizing headline numbers over credit research, stating earnings can be misleading due to regulatory capture within the accounting sector. Litman emphasizes considering various economic indicators beyond stock market figures and addresses China's economic concerns, including its debt crisis and RMB devaluation. Litman presents a bullish stance on cryptocurrencies as a medium of exchange and storage but suggests converting back to dollars for spending or investment. He encourages passive investors to focus on long-term investments in US equities due to their consistent outperformance. The conversation touches upon macroeconomic factors affecting mining industry decisions versus specific mine analysis, emphasizing productivity and worth. Litman discusses potential US election implications and anticipates a thriving US stock market regardless of the outcome. He foresees continuity in economic policies under either Democratic or Republican leadership and significant productivity gains from AI integration within industries over the next ten to thirty years.
