Of all the disruptive policies President Trump has made so far in his second term, his hardball strategy to reform global trade has received the most scorn.His detractors call it "non-sensical" and "hamfisted".That it's based on faulty logic, poor math, and has done grave injury to relations with our closest allies.They fear it's actually driving the rest of the world into China's -- our chief competitor's -- arms. And as a result, substantially damaging America's future prospects.Is this true?And is this the reason why bond yields are rising, the dollar is weakening, and gold is soaring?And most importantly, will China end up drinking America's milkshake?For answers, we're fortunate to welcome back to the program Brent Johnson, CEO & Portfolio Manager at Santiago Capital and publisher of The Macro Alchemist.WORRIED ABOUT THE MARKET?

In this conversation, Trevor welcomes in Santiago Capital's Brent Johnson to delve into the complexities surrounding the Mar-A-Lago Accord, a conceptual restructuring of US debt and the implications of a new monetary system under the Trump administration. The idea is a theoretical, and as of yet unconfirmed, plan under consideration by the Trump administration. It aims to restructure global trade and financial systems, specifically addressing the U.S. national debt and trade imbalances. Key objectives include weakening the U.S. dollar, incentivizing domestic fixed-asset investment, and fundamentally altering the terms of international security arrangements. It draws comparisons to historical currency accords like Bretton Woods and the Plaza Accord, suggesting a potentially profound impact on the global economic order.Brent and Trevor discuss the potential revaluation of the US dollar, the challenges of de-dollarization, and the intertwining of economic and national security policies. The dialogue emphasizes the need for a coordinated approach to address the urgent issues facing the US economy and the global financial system. In this conversation, Brent Johnson discusses the complexities of the U.S. economy, focusing on the monetization of the balance sheet, the implications of tariffs, and the evolving dynamics of global trade, particularly with China and Russia. He emphasizes the potential for a gold revaluation and its impact on financial markets, while also exploring investment strategies in uncertain times.This episode of Mining Stock Daily is brought to you by... Vizsla Silver is focused on becoming one of the world's largest single-asset silver producers through the exploration and development of the 100% owned Panuco-Copala silver-gold district in Sinaloa, Mexico.

As we head into a new year, there are a lot of questions swirling about money: Will the dollar's strength vs other world currencies continue into 2025? And even if so, will it continue to lose purchasing power vs real things? Will gold continue to be aggressively purchased by the world's central banks? By investors? Is Bitcoin "winning" the store of value war? To discuss all these and more, we're fortunate to welcome back to the program Brent Johnson, CEO & Portfolio Manager at Santiago Capital, and developer of the Dollar Milkshake Theory. Brent is "extra cautious" right now given Wall Street's exuberance. At these high levels of euphoria, he fears the 2025 market could look a lot like 2022 rough year. WORRIED ABOUT THE MARKET?

On today's show we are talking about a new paper published last Friday by Brent Johnson and  Michael Peregrine of Santiago Capital. Brent Johnson is famous for his dollar milkshake theory. This 44 page article is a deep dive into the Japanese carry trade. Many of you might remember a banking crisis that erupted in Japan last month as a result of the implosion of widespread carry trade activity. While the Yen is likely to rise in the short term when the carry trade truly blows up, it is probably going to fall after that. As I said, the BOJ can protect the bond market or the currency, but not both.  So why do we care about this? If Japan dumps a trillion dollars worth of US Treasuries in a short time period, we could see the supply of US Treasuries exceed demand. That means a sharp and unexpected rise in the yield for US Treasuries which will impact the cost of borrowing for real estate investors. Just because the Fed is in a lowering cycle for the Fed Funds rate, doesn't mean that the cost of borrowing for real estate investors will follow suit.  -------------- **Real Estate Espresso Podcast:** Spotify: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://open.spotify.com/show/3GvtwRmTq4r3es8cbw8jW0?si=c75ea506a6694ef1)   iTunes: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-real-estate-espresso-podcast/id1340482613)   Website: [www.victorjm.com](http://www.victorjm.com)   LinkedIn: [Victor Menasce](http://www.linkedin.com/in/vmenasce)   YouTube: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](http://www.youtube.com/@victorjmenasce6734)   Facebook: [www.facebook.com/realestateespresso](http://www.facebook.com/realestateespresso)   Email: [podcast@victorjm.com](mailto:podcast@victorjm.com)  **Y Street Capital:** Website: [www.ystreetcapital.com](http://www.ystreetcapital.com)   Facebook: [www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital](https://www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital)   Instagram: [@ystreetcapital](http://www.instagram.com/ystreetcapital)

The Dollar Milkshake Theory, proposed by Brent Johnson of Santiago Capital, predicts a surge in the US dollar's value compared to other currencies. This is due to the US's strong financial system, deep markets, and the dominance of the dollar in global transactions, like oil purchases. When a global debt crisis strikes, countries will scramble for dollars to pay off their debts, further boosting the dollar's value. This could lead to a "dollar milkshake effect" where money flows heavily into the US, inflating asset prices there. They also explore Modern Monetary Theory's role in this scenario, suggesting the US government's printing of money can continue to fuel dollar demand for some time. #BrentJohnson #DollarMilkshakeTheory #GlobalEconomy #CurrencyStrength #FinancialMarkets #DebtCrisis #USDollar #Petrodollar #CapitalMarkets #MMT #Inflation #AssetPrices Key Takeaways: 0:28 The Dollar Milkshake theory and the debt crisis 6:45 The straw and the US dollar's best deal 10:46 Modern Monetary Theory 12:01 Kicking the can down the road- for how long? 14:32 The storm before the storm 17:32 An "End of the world" scenario 19:07 Weak dollar vs. strong dollar, inflation vs. deflation 22:33 Echo chambers and the big social craziness coming   Follow Jason on TWITTER, INSTAGRAM & LINKEDIN Twitter.com/JasonHartmanROI Instagram.com/jasonhartman1/ Linkedin.com/in/jasonhartmaninvestor/ Call our Investment Counselors at: 1-800-HARTMAN (US) or visit: https://www.jasonhartman.com/ Free Class:  Easily get up to $250,000 in funding for real estate, business or anything else: http://JasonHartman.com/Fund CYA Protect Your Assets, Save Taxes & Estate Planning: http://JasonHartman.com/Protect Get wholesale real estate deals for investment or build a great business – Free Course: https://www.jasonhartman.com/deals Special Offer from Ron LeGrand: https://JasonHartman.com/Ron Free Mini-Book on Pandemic Investing: https://www.PandemicInvesting.com

He tells Daniela Cambone that the petrodollar will not be jeopardized despite recent headlines. Johnson explains the history behind why Saudi Arabia began selling oil primarily in dollars in the 1970s and why this practice will continue. Questions on Protecting Your Wealth with Gold & Silver?

According to Truflation, the US dollar has lost nearly 25% of its purchasing power since January of 2020. Many everyday Americans struggling to pay their monthly bills may argue that's an understatement. What the US dollar does, vs real things as well as vs other national currencies, has very real implications -- economically, financially & geopolitically -- for everyone watching this video, regardless of where you live.

Joining me on this episode of The Grant Williams Podcast is my great friend Brent Johnson of Santiago Capital, for a discussion about global markets and, of course, The Milkshake Theory. Brent explains how he uses the Theory as a framework to help him understand how a sovereign debt and currency crisis might play out and how, though he's been uncertain about markets recently, this framework has helped him navigate the volatility. Brent emphasizes the importance of remaining objective and questioning one's own beliefs, as well as the need to be prepared for drawdowns in asset prices as we discusses the extraordinary bull market in certainty and the importance of diversification. There's also time for a look at the current political situation in the US and its potential impact on the markets with Brent arguing that, while the US may be facing political and economic turmoil, the rest of the world still relies heavily on the US dollar, and a divided US would be a disaster for the global economy. Something for everyone in here… Every episode of the Grant Williams podcast, including This Week In Doom, The End Game, The Super Terrific Happy Hour, The Narrative Game, Kaos Theory and Shifts Happen, is available to Copper, Silver and Gold Tier subscribers at my website www.Grant-Williams.com.  Copper Tier subscribers get access to all podcasts, while members of the Silver Tier get both the podcasts and my monthly newsletter, Things That Make You Go Hmmm… Gold Tier subscribers have access to my new series of in-depth video conversations, About Time.

Santiago Capital's Brent Johnson provides his market commentary from VRIC on a weekend following new all time highs in the major US indices. But are investors and traders out over thier skis? Brent thinks so, in regards to the unknowns of interest rate policies from the Federal Reserve and geopolitical issues over seas.

In this video, we're witness to a "meeting of the minds" between two top monetary experts, who each will argue their predicted path for the US dollar from here. We're very fortunate to be joined by Brent Johnson, CEO of Santiago Capital and developer of The Dollar Milkshake Theory, which will serve as the foundation upon which today's discussion will be built. Serving as a counterpoint perspective will be Matthew Piepenburg, Commercial Director at Matterhorn Asset Management AG - GoldSwitzerland This is not a debate so much as a "co-exploration", as there are many points our speakers agree on. But there are definitely a few where they see things differently. And over the next hour, we'll drill down together on those points of differentiation, to see if we can't make the path ahead for the US dollar clearer to discern.

Brent Johnson brings over twenty years of experience in the financial markets to his position as CEO of Santiago Capital. He covers everything from the quirks of the dollar to the unpredictable price moves of gold. He decodes the enigma of interest rates, yield curves, and the intricate dance of global currencies and exposes the deliberate dance orchestrated by the U.S. Federal Reserve. The revelation that the U.S. might wield its interest rates as a strategic economic tool sends shockwaves through the conversation. Could the last hundred basis points of rate hikes be more than just monetary policy for the U.S.? He speculates on the geopolitical chess match, suggesting that the U.S. may be flexing its economic muscles on the world stage. Johnson also shares his bullish outlook on gold, emphasizing its role as a long-term portfolio cornerstone. Follow ⁠@jimiuorio⁠ ⁠@Bob_Iaccino⁠ Produced by ⁠Haynow Media

Brent Johnson (@SantiagoAuFund), the CEO of Puerto Rico-based wealth management firm Santiago Capital and the creator of the Dollar Milkshake Theory, returns to the podcast for episode 79. Brent, who believes we're heading for a currency crisis, is the creator of The Dollar Milkshake Theory, a framework he developed to explain how a sovereign debt and currency crisis might play out. He explained how the world was flooded with liquidity thanks to extraordinary monetary policies following the Global Financial Crisis. The Dollar Milkshake is a simplified way to demonstrate how capital — all of the liquidity that makes up the “milkshake” — would flee the rest of the world and get sucked up by the U.S. Dollar (the straw) and U.S.-based markets creating a myriad of problems globally.   During this conversation, Brent explains his Dollar Milkshake Theory and what's changed since publicly sharing his thesis five years ago. Brent weighed in on the de-dollarization narrative and why he expects the U.S. dollar to go higher. He also made a case for investing in gold.  0:00 Show Open  1:22 Welcome Brent Johnson  2:04 Macro framework  2:57 Heading toward a sovereign debt and currency crisis  4:04 Rate hikes will likely pinch economy in back half of the year 4:50 The Dollar Milkshake Theory, explained  6:52 Why we'll likely see easy money again 7:45 “This is not a story that ends well”   10:00 Has the Dollar Milkshake Theory changed in 5 years? 13:42 Last year solidified our thesis  17:37 Catalysts for a higher dollar 19:19 Credit crunch  21:43 Geopolitical concerns  22:40 De-dollarization  29:49 A blowback from rate hikes?  35:00 Headlines don't match reality  37:33 Debt ceiling short-term and long-term implications  44:14 Why is the Fed continuing to hike?  48:20 Why the Fed will pivot  50:05 Regional banks  52:52 Owning physical gold as an insurance policy  55:05 Cash for optionality  56:56 Camino de Santiago  1:01:01 Parting thoughts

For answers, we head to the dollar expert himself, Brent Johnson CEO & Portfolio Manager at Santiago Capital, and developer of the Dollar Milkshake Theory -- which was hands-down one of the most powerfully-explanative frameworks that defined the action in global currencies in 2022. ************************************************* At Wealthion, we show you how to protect and build your wealth by learning from the world's top experts on finance and money.

The whole world is based off energy, so shutting down energy through governments' inflationary policies, has it put too much pressure on sovereigns? Germany, for example has been a net exporter, but now they are a net importer and the costs have become so high that they had to shut down manufacturing... Most of Inflation is caused by the energy crisis. Inflation and Energy are so intertwined that this could lead to the end of this sovereign debt cycle. These nations are dumping US treasuries to bring in money to get more energy. All while Jerome Powell and the Fed have stated they are going to "keep at it, until the job is done" when it comes to inflation and interest rates...  But many believe they are going to pivot sooner than later which is causing the recent rally in the markets!  So are the markets calling a Fed bluff? I discuss all this and more with my guest Brent Johnson from Santiago Capital.

In Episode 275 of Hidden Forces, Demetri Kofinas publishes the audio from a recent Twitter Spaces event featuring Brent Johnson and Michael Kao, who were both later joined on stage by Michael Nicoletos and Michael Howell for a dynamic conversation about the explosive appreciation in the relative value of the US Dollar, the sources of Dollar strength, and what could bring an end to its role as the main global reserve currency. Brent Johnson is CEO of Santiago Capital and the author of the “Dollar Milkshake Theory.” Michael Kao is CIO and Portfolio Manager of Kao Family Offices and is well-known for coining “the Dollar Wrecking Ball” as a similar metaphor for describing the dynamics of Dollar hegemony. Michael Nicoletos is a macro investor and the founder and fmr. CIO at AppleTree Capital and Michael Howell is the CEO of CrossBorder Capital and a regular contributor and active member of our Hidden Forces Genius community which you can learn more about at HiddenForces.io/subscribe. Over the last six months, the US Dollar has appreciated tremendously against a basket of international currencies, from the pound sterling and the euro to the Japanese yen and Chinese yuan. Because of the Dollar's outsized role as a global funding currency, Dollar strength often translates into foreign weakness, not just for other currencies, but for their respective economies and asset markets as well. The goal of this conversation is to help deepen your understanding of the dynamics driving Dollar strength, the consequences for the global economy and asset markets the longer it continues, and what the possible end-game could be for economies and governments.

A seasoned Wall Street veteran with decades of experience in finance and money management, Brent is currently the CEO of Puerto Rico-based Santiago Capital, a wealth management firm focusing on macroeconomic trends.  Brent says most folks who have read or heard about his dollar milkshake theory think it's just about the U.S. dollar going higher. But he says there's more to this narrative... He explains how the Federal Reserve's switch to quantitative tightening is like a straw sucking up liquidity from markets worldwide – strengthening the dollar. And it's a story that he says is playing out right now, with a soaring greenback and other currencies in a tailspin... After the global financial crisis, governments and monetary authorities around the world were forced to provide incredible amounts of liquidity... They created this big pool of liquidity, and they kept doubling down on it and doubling down on it... The world mixed this big milkshake of liquidity and capital that needs to go somewhere. But as we get further into this, it's going to cause a global sovereign debt crisis because the debts have just gotten too big. A lot of that capital is going to flow into the U.S. dollar – or U.S. dollar assets – and deprive that liquidity to the rest of the world. As the dollar gets stronger, that attracts more capital and it also puts more pressure on the rest of the world – which makes the U.S. even look more attractive on a relative basis and perpetuates more capital flows. The U.S. dollar is going to "drink the world's milkshake."  With another clever analogy, Brent also explains just how much power the buck lends to America. There's a "rigged" poker game playing out where the U.S. has the upper hand – and it has the "biggest stack at the table" with its currency. If any of the other countries "wins a big hand and tries to leave," Uncle Sam's "guards" at the door – or the dollar's privilege as the world's reserve currency – are ready to rob them of their profits. However, he says that the greenback could eventually plummet and end up in the same trouble that other currencies are undergoing... ultimately leaving gold as the "last man standing" at the table.  Brent also shares which of his favorite movies served as the inspiration for his theory. And his takeaway for surviving this challenging economic environment should resonate with longtime Investor Hour listeners... It's all about preparing for even the most unthinkable outcomes and building a well-diversified portfolio – or, as Dan always says, "Prepare, don't predict." And this time, Brent's cinematic muse is Lawrence of Arabia...  Be prepared. Nothing is certain. "Nothing is written." Any of these ideas that you have that you think are absolutely foolproof, I would throw them in the trash can. Just open your eyes. Be ready for anything.

In Episode 250 of Hidden Forces, Demetri Kofinas speaks with CEO of Santiago Capital and originator of the “Dollar Milkshake” theory, Brent Johnson. Brent and Demetri discuss his thesis on the Dollar as part of a much larger conversation about the sell-off that we're currently experiencing in risk assets, the dislocations we're seeing in currencies and currency pairs like Dollar-Yen, and how to position yourself as conditions change in real-time.  Because so much is happening in markets right now it is challenging to know where to focus your attention, which is why Brent's framework around the role of the US Dollar and its impact on financial flows is crucial for understanding what we're seeing in markets today. We have published countless episodes over the last several years in anticipation of the events that are transpiring today. We think we are in the end-game phase of what in our view has been a forty-year paradigm of falling interest rates, rising debt levels, low inflation, growing inequality, and peak globalization, all of which we believe are in the process of reversing. How that process unfolds and what assets and investments you want to be invested in during this time do not have straightforward answers, but conversations like this one with Brent are crucial in helping you think through the steps required to get you there.
