Special Monday Edition: Global travel stocks suffered steep declines on Monday, with major markets in Asia, the Middle East, and Europe seeing significant selloffs due to mounting fears over global tariffs and economic instability. The Hang Seng index dropped over 13%, its worst fall since 1997, while travel-linked stocks like Trip.com and Alibaba plunged by double digits. European airlines and hotel giants also took hits, with IAG, Lufthansa, Accor, and IHG all posting substantial losses amid concerns about falling transatlantic travel demand and trade war impacts. In the Middle East, markets continued a downward slide, compounded by plunging oil prices and significant losses in companies like Saudi Aramco, adding to fears about tourism investment in the region.

La recomposition du marché des engrais ces dernières années a confirmé l'Arabie saoudite comme un acteur majeur du secteur. Le royaume saoudien a lancé une stratégie de diversification de son économie et les engrais en font partie. Le prince héritier, et dirigeant de facto, Mohammed ben Salman travaille à réduire la dépendance de son pays à la rente pétrolière et les engrais font partie des alternatives économiques privilégiées. L'Arabie saoudite a tous les ingrédients pour réussir dans le secteur : des roches phosphatées qui, même si elles ne sont pas d'excellente qualité, peuvent être enrichies, de l'énergie à domicile avec le gaz fourni par Saudi Aramco, et du soufre.À coup de milliards de dollars, les autorités ont soutenu des alliances entre Ma'aden, l'opérateur minier du pays, SABIC un acteur de la chimie industrielle et Mosaic, le spécialiste américain du secteur. Ces alliances ont abouti à la mise en place d'une chaîne de production saoudienne d'acide phosphorique, d'acide sulfurique et d'ammoniac, des composants essentiels pour la fabrication d'engrais, comme l'explique une étude du cabinet Global Sovereign Advisory (GSA). Exportations comparables à celles du Maroc ou des États-UnisSelon cette étude, la part de l'Arabie saoudite dans le commerce mondial d'engrais a presque triplé entre 2019 et 2023 pour atteindre près de 6 %, avec près de 7 millions de tonnes exportées, tous types d'engrais confondus.Le royaume est devenu le deuxième exportateur de DAP — après le Maroc —, un engrais utilisé pour tous les types de cultures, et entend rester incontournable sur le marché de ces engrais phosphatés dans les prochaines années. Selon l'étude de GSA, Ma'aden a signé en janvier trois contrats avec une filiale d'une entreprise chinoise pour étendre deux de ses complexes industriels et augmenter les capacités de production du pays.À lire aussiOù en est le marché africain des engrais, trois ans après le déclenchement de la guerre en Ukraine?10 % de part de marché en AfriqueL'Arabie saoudite produit essentiellement pour exporter et ne s'interdit pas d'aller sur le terrain de jeu de l'Office chérifien des phosphates (OCP), à savoir le continent africain. Son principal client est l'Afrique du Sud, mais le pays vend aussi au Kenya, à l'Algérie, à la Tanzanie et au Mozambique. Le royaume saoudien occupe 10 % de part de marché à ce jour en Afrique, selon l'étude de GSA, mais reste, pour des questions géographiques, implanté globalement en Afrique de l'Est, alors que le mastodonte marocain a su capter les acheteurs d'Afrique de l'Ouest.« L'OCP a évidemment encore plusieurs longueurs d'avance sur le continent, assure un négociant en engrais, mais l'Arabie saoudite est un concurrent qui monte et qui a les moyens d'être très compétitif grâce à ses matières premières ».Hors Afrique, l'Arabie saoudite exporte le gros de ses engrais dans les pays asiatiques, en Inde, en Thaïlande, au Bangladesh ou encore au Pakistan. Le Brésil est aussi un de ses clients importants.À lire aussiL'Arabie saoudite affirme publiquement ses ambitions minières
Les cours du pétrole ont dévissé depuis lundi 3 mars et sont passés largement sous la barre des 70 dollars — contre 80 dollars mi-janvier. Le déclencheur a été une annonce faite par plusieurs producteurs de pétrole, membres de l'Opep+, des pays qui depuis 2022 ont réduit leur production. Ils sont huit et parmi eux figurent les gros producteurs que sont la Russie, l'Arabie saoudite et les Émirats arabes unis. Tous sont membres de l'Opep+ et tentent en vain depuis de longs mois de faire remonter les prix, en laissant volontairement sous terre des barils de pétrole pour réduire l'offre. Mais cette stratégie ne s'est pas révélée efficace, car la demande mondiale est en berne. Cette approche a aussi fait perdre des parts de marché aux pays pétroliers concernés qui ont annoncé plusieurs fois leur intention de mettre fin à leurs restrictions, sans passer à l'acte.La pression de Donald Trump a sans doute accéléré les choses : lors du Forum de Davos, fin janvier, il a demandé avec insistance à ces géants de l'or noir de produire plus pour faire baisser les prix. Une question urgente pour le président des États-Unis, car un pétrole bas : « c'est bon pour les consommateurs américains, pour l'industrie et globalement pour l'économie américaine », résume Francis Perrin, directeur de recherche à l'IRIS et chercheur associé au Policy Center for the New South à Rabat.Le message est passé : les huit pays pétroliers se sont engagés à ne plus modifier leur calendrier et à augmenter leur production à partir du 1ᵉʳ avril. À lire aussiPétrole: l'Opep+ va prolonger sa baisse de production pour soutenir les prix jusqu'à fin 2025Un effet sur les prix immédiatD'ici à quelques semaines, il y aura donc plus de pétrole sur le marché, et cela a suffi à faire baisser les cours qui évoluent désormais sous la barre des 70 dollars le baril.Cette baisse des prix est aussi alimentée par le contexte actuel de guerre commerciale. Les nouveaux droits de douane américains et les représailles qu'ils entraînent vont, a minima, ralentir l'économie mondiale. S'il y a moins de croissance, sans même parler de récession, la consommation de pétrole va s'en ressentir, explique Francis Perrin. D'où cette baisse des prix, de manière anticipée.Un baril durablement sous les 70 dollars ?Il n'est pas exclu de voir le baril se maintenir sous la barre des 70 dollars, selon plusieurs analystes. Mais si la baisse s'accentue, ce sera risqué pour les pays producteurs. D'abord pour les États-Unis, qui sont tiraillés entre des intérêts divergents liés à leur statut de premier producteur mondial et de premier consommateur : si le baril baisse trop, le pétrole de schiste américain ne sera plus rentable, car il coûte plus cher à extraire que celui du Moyen-Orient. Or Donald Trump ne veut surtout pas que la production ralentisse. Un autre pays a tout intérêt à manœuvrer pour que les prix ne s'effondrent pas beaucoup plus bas : c'est l'Arabie saoudite qui a engagé un vaste programme de réformes. Le géant du secteur, Saudi Aramco, comme d'autres majors pétrolières, a vu ses bénéfices de 2024 reculer pour la deuxième année consécutive, un recul de plus de 12 %. Le fleuron de l'économie saoudienne espère cependant distribuer 85 milliards de dollars de dividendes en 2025.À écouter dans C'est pas du ventLa Colombie mise sur l'écotourisme pour sortir du pétrole
Mexico, China en Canada kregen allemaal een maand uitstel van president Donald Trump. Hij trok tijdelijk zijn dreigement van handelstarieven weer in. Maar nu is er volgens Trump 'geen ruimte meer' om te onderhandelen. De landen moeten alsnog extra gaan betalen voor alles dat ze naar de VS exporteren. China slaat al terug met eigen heffingen. Ook Canada zegt alle heffingen van Amerika te gaan spiegelen. En wat Mexico precies doet is nog onduidelijk, maar volgens de president staat het al vast dat er een reactie komt. De handelsoorlog is dus een feit. Trump praat de beurzen een flinke depressie aan, want die duiken weer naar de niveau's van vóór de Amerikaanse verkiezingen. Je hoort in deze aflevering hoeveel schade jouw aandelen gaan oplopen. En dan hebben we het ook over die andere oorlog. Die op het Europese continent. Want ook daar bepaalt Trump nu wat er gebeurt. Hij trok alle steun aan Oekraïne in na de ruzie in het Witte Huis met president Zelensky. Dus is de druk voor Europa om de eigen defensie op orde te krijgen nog hoger. Europese leiders laten er geen gras over groeien en kondigen aan 800 miljard euro in de eigen verdediging te investeren. En je hoort ook over TSMC. De chipmaker voelt de importheffingen-bui ook al hangen. Daarom kiest het ervoor om 100 miljard dollar in nieuwe Amerikaanse fabrieken te investeren.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today we had the honor of welcoming back our good friend Dr. Dan Yergin, Vice Chairman of S&P Global, Chairman of CERAWeek, and Pulitzer Prize-winning author of “The Prize” and more recently “The New Map.” He is widely recognized as one of the foremost experts on energy, geopolitics, and the global economy and his achievements and contributions to the energy industry are immense. We were delighted to have an hour of Dan's time to hear his latest insights on the evolving energy landscape and to preview key themes and discussions at CERAWeek, which is kicking off in just under two weeks. This Tuesday, Dan's paper, co-authored with Peter Orszag and Atul Arya, was published in Foreign Affairs titled “The Troubled Energy Transition: How to Find a Pragmatic Path Forward” (linked here). Dan also recently co-authored an article titled “The importance of US LNG for economic growth and the global energy transition” (linked here). In our conversation with Dan, we explore key themes from both pieces, including the challenges of balancing energy security, economic growth, and the global energy transition. We ask Dan for his perspective on today's complex geopolitical environment, the influence of the current U.S. administration on energy and regulation, and global energy competition, including the divide between developed and developing nations, where economic growth and energy access remain a top priority. We touch on key topics and speakers at CERAWeek, including new discussions on trade and industrial policy, the future of aviation fuel, Saudi Aramco's experience with solar, and the growing momentum behind fusion energy, just to name a few. Dan shares insights into the historical context of today's energy transition, emphasizing that it is an energy addition rather than a transition, along with misconceptions about how transitions unfold and the evolving role of critical minerals in global energy policy. We discuss the potential for a resolution in the Russia-Ukraine war, its implications for commodity markets and geopolitical strategy, and the broader complexities of managing volatility in today's rapidly shifting energy landscape. As always, it was our pleasure to visit with Dan and we appreciate his thoughtfulness and optimism for the future of energy. Thank you, Dan, for joining us! Mike Bradley kicked off the show by noting that broader equity markets seem to be entirely focused on AI-related news this week. He noted that rumors earlier this week that Microsoft was cancelling data center leases have slammed the stock prices of IPP & Electrical Providers. NVIDIA reports Q4 results after Wednesday's close, which will set the tone for equities (AI Tech & IPPs) through the end of the week. On the crude oil market front, over the last week WTI price has sunk ~$3/bbl ($69/bbl) on several factors, chief among them being growing optimism of a potential Ukrainian ceasefire. Offsetting this potentially bearish oil news is a growing belief that OPEC will delay April scheduled production increases to 2H'25. He rounded out the conversation by highlighting that the focal story in Energy equities this week is BP's Capital Markets Day (set for Wednesday, details linked here). He noted that BP has previously indicated that the theme for their Capital Markets Day will be a “fundamental reset of strategy” and that investors aren't going to settle for small changes, rather, they're demanding a wholesale retreat from renewables, significant non-core asset sales and a total refocus on fossil fuels.

In December 2024, Bitcoin, one of the earliest cryptocurrencies and undoubtedly the most famous, hit $2 trillion in market capitalization, bigger than Tesla, Meta, and Saudi Aramco. In this episode, Nobel Prize-winning economist and Chicago Booth finance professor Eugene Fama—widely considered the “Father of Modern Finance”—predicts it will go to zero within ten years.Legendary investor Ray Dalio called crypto a bubble a decade ago; now, he calls it “one hell of an invention.” Larry Fink of BlackRock previously referred to Bitcoin as an index of money laundering. Today, he sees it as “a legitimate financial instrument.” Less than 36 hours after launching his own cryptocurrency before his second inauguration, United States President Donald Trump appeared to have made more than $50 billion on paper for himself and his companies. (During his first term, Trump called crypto “not money, whose value is highly volatile and based on thin air.”) Amidst this noise of crypto doubters changing tune, Fama joins Bethany and Luigi to discuss why he remains dubious about Bitcoin's ambitions.Bitcoin uses more electricity than many countries—around 91 terawatt-hours annually. Is this amount unsustainable? What makes its value so volatile, and what are the implications for the banking sector and our economy? If cryptocurrencies' purpose is a reaction to an underlying distrust in financial institutions, can decentralized blockchain, the technological ledger that enables anonymous crypto exchange, fix it? Last but not least, why do supporters of a decentralized service, whose value lies in its existence outside traditional government structures, need to spend billions in lobbying to convince politicians, including the president, of its utility?Show Notes:Read ProMarket's archives on Bitcoin and cryptocurrency.Revisit our prior Capitalisn't episode with author Zeke Faux, The Capitalisn't of Crypto: SBF and Beyond.

This episode of Macro Mondays aired live at 12:30pm GMT on Monday, the 18th of November. Tune in Mondays at 12:30pm UK time to watch Macro Mondays live. On today's episode, James and Will dive into the latest macroeconomic developments shaping global markets. Last week, Bitcoin, S&P 500, and NASDAQ hit all-time highs - but whether this rally will continue is unclear thanks to rising yields. Meanwhile, US Dollar strength is causing havoc with EURUSD & USD Yuan making multi-month lows, and causing more distress in EMG with USDINR at all-time highs. CPI and PPI are both rising for the first time since September 2022. Lorie K Logan from the Fed has said that the US Central Bank will most likely need to make more interest rate cuts. Dogecoin spiked following Trump's announcement of the DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency), co-headed by Elon Musk, it has risen 170% in the last 4 months. Bitcoin is now the 8th-largest asset in the world, just behind Saudi Aramco. We saw mixed Chinese data, strong retail sales but weak industrial production and falling house prices, and OPEC cut their global oil demand growth forecast for the 4th consecutive month. German data continues to look weak, both IFO and ZEW came in below expectations, and UK unemployment has jumped form 4.1% to 4.3%. The team also take a look at the upcoming economic data schedule and the equities market. #macro #macronews #finance #inflation #deflation #Nvidia #stockmarket #stocks #oott #oilandgas #trading #markets #marketanalysis #recession #derivatives #derivativestrading #thefed #housing #housingmarket #gold #china #germany #uk #us #economy #economics #ElonMusk #Trump #Bitcoin #China #Macro #Housing #HousingPrices #crypto #doge #dogecoin

OpenAI schudt weer wat ideologische veertjes af en zet een verdere stap richting een beursgang. Dat wordt cashen voor topman Sam Altman. Hij praat nu met de toezichthouders binnen het bedrijf over het verkrijgen van aandelen in OpenAI. Om dat te laten gebeuren, gooit het bedrijf z'n idealen overboord en verandert het in een winstgericht bedrijf dat ook wel eens iets goeds doet voor de wereld. Prima, maar wanneer kunnen gewone stervelingen beleggen in OpenAI? Ook hoor je welk van de aandeelhouders de baas wordt. Microsoft, Nvidia en Apple zijn zeer benieuwd naar het antwoord... Verder praten we over geheugenbouwer Micron, dat niet alleen zichzelf maar ook zowat elk chipaandeel op aarde omhoog praat. De SSD-kaarten voor datacenters verkochten zó goed dat de kwartaalomzet met 93 procent groeit. Jawel, dat ligt geheel aan AI, dat in die datacenters draait. Het positieve bericht gaf het Nederlandse chiptrio ASML, ASM en BESI flinke wind in de rug, maar tot aan Tokio stonden de chipbeleggers te juichen. Tot slot hebben we het over Shell en de andere oliereuzen. Saoedi-Arabië gooit de handdoek in de ring en gaat de oliekraan opendraaien in december, terwijl het eigenlijk de productie laag wilde houden om te zorgen voor een hogere prijs.

Transcript of Panel with Jason Isaacson, Ken Weinstein, Kirsten Fontenrose, and Rich Goldberg: Manya Brachear Pashman: America's political parties are kicking off the 2024 convention season, starting this week with the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee. AJC was on the sidelines of the RNC, with a live program titled Israel and the Path to Peace, moderated by AJC's chief policy officer, Jason Isaacson. Jason is also the head of AJC's recently launched Center for A New Middle East. Joining Jason was Dr. Ken Weinstein, former longtime CEO of the Hudson Institute and the Walter P. Stern Distinguished Fellow at Hudson; Kirsten Fontenrose, the President of Red Six Solutions and Senior Director of Gulf Affairs in the National Security Council under President Trump; and Rich Goldberg, Senior Adviser at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies and Director of Countering Iranian Weapons of Mass Destruction for the National Security Council, under President Trump. Just a reminder: AJC is a 501(c)3 nonpartisan organization and neither supports nor opposes candidates for elective office. A similar program will be offered at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago later this summer. Now onto today's episode: an excerpt from AJC's convention program. Jason Isaacson: Let me begin by reading to you a couple of passages from the Republican platform, which was adopted yesterday at the Republican National Convention. This is what it said about Israel. Quote, We will stand with Israel and seek peace in the Middle East, we will rebuild our alliance network in the region to ensure a future of peace, stability and prosperity. And then there was, as you may recall, for the Republican platform, his list of 20 promises. And it's described as 20 promises that we will accomplish very quickly when we win the White House and Republican majorities in the House and Senate. And number eight, on that list of 20 promises is the following, quote: restore peace in Europe and in the Middle East. So let's drill down with our panelists on those two statements in January 2025. That's more than six months away. It may be that the Israel Hamas war will be won over by them, and perhaps whatever conflict is so close to boiling over between Israel and Hezbollah, that that might not any longer be the case, might have boiled over, might be a thing of the past. But let's say for the sake of argument, that hostilities are in fact, continuing, and let's assume that the Republican Party is victorious this fall. What are you expecting the Trump administration to do to, quote restore peace in the Middle East and to accomplish that, quote, very quickly. And let me begin Kirsten, with you. Kirsten Fontenrose: Great, thanks so much for having us. All of us like to nerd out about these kinds of topics all the time when we're just grateful that there are other people who are as interested. What I expect to see in America is a revived peace plan. So you all remember the deal of the century, the vision for peace, we will see that come back. If there's a second Trump administration. Not in isolation, it will be part of a larger context. That will also include assurances about Israel security and governance for Gaza and the like. Why have we not seen this yet? Because no one's asked the Trump team. But that will come back and you will see that. There's an expectation, whether it's naive or not, which we'll see, that there will be a greater receptiveness among the Palestinian population for an economic plan that offers improvements in livelihood after this conflict. If there is a marginalized Hamas, there'll be more movement in this space for reviving these kinds of ideas. So we will definitely see a revived peace plan, you won't see less attention on this issue, you'll see very top level attention on the issue. You're also going to see, I think gloves off with the Houthis in the Red Sea. The US military has been very careful to make sure that all of our strikes so far had been from a defensive perspective. But you will see, I believe, because the world has not criticized any of these strikes, I think you're gonna see more latitude there. More room for movement for preemptive striking, for instance, because the perception is that for the whole world, this shipping interception problem is just out of hand. So I think we'll see more latitude there. And we'll see gloves come off a bit there. And then I think you're gonna see some tough talk, frankly, with Prime Minister Netanyahu. President Trump has watched the US be yanked around a bit by the current Israeli government. And I think you're going to see less tolerance for that recognition that Israel is a sovereign country, but more of an attempt to say the US is the superpower here, and we will be leading the ideas from hence. If we're expected to play a role, we will be leading in that role. What you will see, however, will be interesting to watch as there is division among Trump advisors about a two state solution. So you'll see that be debated out. Jason Isaacson: Thank you for that. Ken, let me ask you, restoring peace in the Middle East and Europe and doing it very quickly, you've had a very broad focus on a whole range of foreign policy issues at the Hudson Institute and before and since. Tell me how you see that playing out under a second Trump administration? Ken Weinstein: I'd say first of all, I think President Trump came to the conclusion early on, in his first term, he came in remember, talking about the deal of the century with you know, this peace agreement, he was booed at the Republican Jewish Committees event when he was a candidate. And he quickly came into office and understood he could not trust Mahmoud Abbas, because of the incitement to terror by the Palestinian Authority and the tensions that were given out, and the pay for slay efforts that the Palestinian Authority has. Whereby people who kill Jews, kill Americans, were getting Palestinian Authority pensions in prisons, for their families and the like. And so, Trump quickly came to understand that the challenge in the peace process wasn't bringing Israel and the Palestinians together, it was that the peace process itself was misconstrued. The peace process was being used by Middle Eastern governments, in particular, the Iranians, but also the Palestinians as a means to put leverage on Israel, exercise leverage on Israel, by a bunch of people who wanted to see the end of Israel's existence. And Trump quickly reversed that equation. He understood that the best way to move forward was to remove items from the table such as moving the embassy to Jerusalem, which didn't have any of the backlash that John Kerry and others predicted would happen. And he quickly understood the best way to move things forward was to put pressure on the Palestinians. Trump's a real estate guy. And so he understands leverage, he understands how to put pressure forth, and how to deter. I think we're going to see much more of that moving forward. We're not going to have a vice president of the United States who's going to get up and say, the Israelis can't evacuate Rafah, it's going to lead to 10s of 1000s of deaths. And here I actually disagree slightly, I think Trump will actually give the Israelis the latitude they need to finish the mission, which is to destroy Hamas, and eventually bring about a transformation in Gaza, with the assistance of the Saudis. Who were absolutely critical in de-radicalizing Gaza, they have done it successfully themselves, as has the UAE. And so I think we're going to look much more at a regional approach on these issues. Obviously, Iran is going to be, to borrow a term from Joe Biden, President Biden, in the crosshairs of the Trump administration, as they were before. You're gonna see massive sanctions again, we're gonna get them, we're gonna enforce those sanctions. And Rich can talk to this stuff far more deeply than I ever could. And you're gonna have the Iranians on the run so that they don't feel that they can work with Hamas or work with Hezbollah, to do more damage to Israel. And already we're seeing a deterrent effect on the Northern Front. And also with regard to Hamas. Because with regard to Hamas, we see that the fear of a Trump administration is leading to a greater willingness to negotiate with Israel. And on the northern front, I think it's less likely that the Israelis will take dramatic action before the US election, knowing that they will not be reined in by an administration that is somehow searching for a delusion of peace with Hezbollah and with Lebanon. Jason Isaacson: What about peace in Europe? Is is that something that you see, that you can envision under a Trump administration? Ken Weinstein: First, let me say something with regard to Europe and the Middle East. I think that the Trump administration, the Trump team has been infuriated by this notion of enforcing this ridiculous ICC policy with regard to Israel and those who threatened to arrest Netanyahu. I think you're going to see in places particularly, I can just think of the kinds of actions they'll take in Germany. I think you can expect individual sanctions on the people who were behind Nord Stream as a sign to not dare mess with Netanyahu, period. And you'll see other actions like that. I know the Spanish ambassadors here with regard to Spain with that we will be taking numbers, as Nikki Haley did so effectively at the UN, and as the Biden team does not. So with regard to Europe. Look, I think the situation with regard to Ukraine, as President Trump understands it, I think, Trump, you have to understand he comes to this. He's not a policy person. He thinks that policy people like the three of us, four us up here, we lack creativity, we have a sense the policy options run from the letter L or P to the letter Q or R. And in fact, for Trump, they run from A to Z. And so that meant fire and fury in Pyongyang, but it meant eventually potentially beachfront condominiums in North Korea and an economic vitality to North Korea, if it gave up its nuclear program. With regard to Iran, it was maximum pressure, but it was the new Iran deal that got rid of the nuclear program that got rid of the missile program that got rid of regional activities, and that internally reshaped Iran, and led to a new relationship with Iran, with not only the region but the rest of the world. And with China, it was massive tariffs on China, but a new trade deal in the phase one that was gonna get rid of intellectual property stuff, which was at the core of what President Trump saw correctly as the engine of the Chinese economy, and the engine of the China 2025 program. So I'd say with regard to Ukraine, the President is looking at options that will, as he himself has said, he would tell the, you know, the Ukrainians on day one, you've got to, you know, we've got to end the fighting, you would tell Putin, if you don't end the fighting, we're gonna arm the shit out of Ukraine, pardon my French, as he said something along those lines. And I think what we'll see at the end of the day, is a massive program to guarantee Ukrainian security, that is going to take massive security guarantees. But the Europeans are going to have to step up and step up in a very serious way. And we've seen since the announcement of the JD Vance nomination are ready to reaction in Europe, the Europeans, you know, have to understand they're not gonna be able to backchannel they're not going to be able to figure out some way out of this. They're gonna have to be big providers of security guarantees, we will do the same for the Ukrainians as well, but Europe has to take up a big portion of it. And Trump does not, he is not Joe Biden, he's not going to cut and run, as in Afghanistan, he doesn't want to be humiliated on the stage, he understands deterrence, he's going to send a very clear signal to the Russians, as he did to the Taliban. When they were talking about when they were negotiating with the Taliban, Trump was on a video call once with the Taliban leader, and said, I want to make this very clear, you're not to strike at any of our people. And if you do, and hit the button on Play, and he showed a video of I think, the Taliban leader's kid leaving their house to say we're watching you every moment, and we will take care of you. And there'll be some kind of a version of that with regard to Putin, that's going to be very clear. He was very blunt with Putin behind closed doors, from the White House in particular. And I think there was a good reason why Putin didn't go into Ukraine during Trump's term. And so I think that there's going to be some kind of a square in the circle solution that's going to have to come together. And I've been telling European foreign and defense ministers for the last few months, think about this now, how to do it, how to implement it. Jason Isaacson: Ken, thank you so much. Rich, let me turn to you. We've been talking about Iran, and you are an expert on Iran. It happened for years. I didn't see a reference to Iran and the Republican platform. But of course, we know, former President Trump's record on Iran. And Ken has been talking about that. Should he return to the White House next January, what do you foresee on this front to return to maximum pressure, or something more kinetic? And what is your sense of our regional strategic partners priorities? Are our friends in the Gulf hoping for a decisive showdown with Iran? Or are they sufficiently risk averse that they prefer a less confrontational approach? What do you think? Rich Goldberg: I think if you look at the top lines, right, and you compare the policy, the recipe, if you will, under the Trump administration: maximum pressure on Iran, maximum support for Israel gets you peace, gets you deterrence. And when you flip the narrative and you go to maximum deference to Iran and pressure on Israel, you get conflict in the Middle East. It's not disconnected from what Ken's just talking about in other regions of the world as well, whether in Europe, whether you're in the Indo-Pacific. This comes down to the ability to restore American deterrence. And then you have options. There are a lot of genies that are out of the bottle due to the last three and a half years. Iran today and its nuclear program is at the one yard line of nuclear weapons thresholds. They were not there four years ago. In fact, after the killing of Soleimani, in early 2020, the rest of the year the Iranians never escalated the nuclear program again. They waited until January of 2021. And that's when they started jumping to 20% high enriched uranium. And then they saw nothing's happening to us. So they went to 60% high enriched uranium. They started installing all the advanced centrifuges, they've advanced, so far accelerated to this incredible capacity to produce a dozen nuclear weapons in just a couple of months if they so chose. Plus Intel now coming in that the administration is trying to downplay work on weaponization. There's a lot of genies out of the bottle here that Donald Trump's going to have to try to put back into the bottle. And that will not be easy. But the formula remains correct. Restore deterrence, have maximum pressure and isolation on the Iranian regime and provide support to your allies. Now, the Gulf Arabs, by the way, the Saudis, the Emiratis, they've made some strategic decisions due to the policies that they saw, sustained by Joe Biden. They've cut deals with the Iranians and sort of cut their own JCPOA. with Iran with the Houthis. I'm not sure they're going to be on board for what's coming next. And they need to make some preparations for the return of a Trump administration and hawkishness towards Tehran and understand that we also won't tolerate them hedging with the Chinese. Now, that comes from the fact that America is hedging on them. And so there's going to be a lot of parts that have to come together like a puzzle, to try to put Humpty Dumpty back together again, actual restored turns and regain that peace through strength in the region. This is true in the Middle East. It's true in Europe, and it's true in the Indo Pacific. So what is deterrence? I think that's a major question. What is deterrence? Made up of two big things, capacity and will. Joe Biden and Donald Trump both have capacity. They were the commander in chief at some point of the most powerful military on Earth. Nobody doubts that you have capacity when you are the president of the United States. But our enemies do doubt the will. And they test the will early on. Every single administration gets tested, whether it's China, whether it's Putin, whether it's Iran, they get tested. At some point, Donald Trump got tested by the Iranians and Soleimani is dead. And that changed a lot of things in the world. And over the course of time, the unpredictability, the some of the craziness of the media went hysterical over the red button with Kim Jong Un did get the attention of people like Vladimir Putin. The Taliban tested Joe Biden, and he failed the test. And Kabul fell. And then Ukraine was invaded. And then now in China, they're expanding and starting to harass and actually attack in some ways, the Philippines and Taiwan. And what are we seeing? Nothing. So, the minute Donald Trump becomes president, when I hear Trump say, just my election is going to start bringing about a change on the Ukraine front, a change in the world. You might have laughed at that. I think after Saturday, you're not laughing anymore. A picture that if you're Xi Jinping, the Ayatollah, Putin, Kim Jong Un, looking at that on your desk every day of Donald Trump with his fist in the air blood dripping, right after being shot, saying fight. You're not questioning will. And that will be, I think, the big game changer. Now, they might still test it. And there's a Chinese proverb, which is, you have to kill the chicken to scare the monkey. And I think President Trump might have to kill a chicken. He'd have to pick the chicken wisely. I think it might be the Houthis. That makes no sense to me. There is a national interest, there's a strategic importance to it. And it will game change how you're trying to get the Gulf Arabs back on side, see that we are committed to the security in the Gulf in the broader Middle East, it will send a major signal to Tehran, and it'll be part of that pivot back to maximum pressure on Iran and maximum support for Israel. Jason Isaacson: Rich, thank you. But before I turn back to the Abraham Accords, let me ask you, what's your sense of the Saudi and UAE and Bahraini overtures to Iran? Are they just seeking some kind of stability, some kind of channel, but it doesn't have a whole lot of meaning, or what's your sense and how should the US respond? Rich? Rich Goldberg: I think there is meaning to it. I think that Mohammed bin Salman, the Crown Prince in Saudi Arabia has changed his strategic calculus over the last three years. I think that there was a game changing moment for him when the Houthis were raining down missiles, next to a Formula One race he was hosting out in Jeddah. And you're talking about major investors, world leaders, important people all driving into a race course already there. And you're seeing a ballistic missile explode within your line of sight. And the United States does nothing. And then Abu Dhabi comes under attack by the Houthis, and the United States does nothing. And they're saying, Wow, they're just at the table trying to give the Iranians whatever they can, they've taken the Houthis off the terror list. They're not defending us anymore. They've pulled the missile defense augmentation that Trump put in, in 2019-2020. And they're still trying to get this nuclear deal done. What are we doing here? Why are we just waiting around for Godot? Why are we exposed? We should cut a deal here. And why if the United States can hedge on us, can't we hedge on them, and they start cozying up to the Chinese and doing things that we probably don't like very much I need to put an end to. So I think it's very real. These channels are real. They're in a hedge. I think it's taken a while for others that are far more suspicious of Iran, like Bahrain to get on board this strategy. But everybody sort of signed up to this. There's a normalization process with Assad that I think is partially connected to it as well. All of that's going to have to change. You have Donald Trump is back in office. And I don't know that they appreciate that very much. Jason Isaacson: There's also a recollection of the Trump administration in this reaction or non reaction to this Iranian attack on Saudi Aramco facilities. So it's been a mixed bag. But But first, let me let me let me turn back to you. And we were talking about the Abraham accords before. That was a great foreign policy access success of the last months of the Trump administration, first of the UAE, then Bahrain and then with different terminology, but Morocco and Sudan. As you know, the Biden administration has been vigorously pursuing an effort to normalize Saudi relations with Israel, and objective that was also very much a part of the Trump administration's vision. What are your perspectives on the likelihood of that kind of a deal being closed in the last months of the current Biden administration, if they do move forward on such a deal with the Republicans getting the Senate joined with Democrats in the Senate to support such a deal before the election? Or perhaps in a lame duck session after the election? Kirsten Fontenrose: Well that's the big question. So I think if you have a deal that includes normalization with Israel, Saudi us still includes normalization with Israel, it has a shot of getting through, but the closer we get to the election, the smaller that shot gets, because the more Republicans Congress will want to hold out to grant that foreign policy when to potential Republican administration. But if you have a deal that is being discussed now, as a Plan B, that is just a US-Saudi deal, without normalization. And this is because of the Israeli government's decision, perhaps not to grant that the Saudis are fully on board, you won't get it through, there's just not enough in it. For the US. There are lots of questions about why we'd be granting Saudi assistance with civilian nuclear technology. And a security guarantee, when we're not really getting much out of it. There's nothing in this deal in terms of concrete asks on the relationship with China. And we can really go quite far in blocking Chinese influence in the Gulf by just improving our own foreign military sales process. We don't need to grant security guarantees, the Israeli Saudi relationship is so close right now. It's normalization and everything but public statement and name and that public statement name is important for the follow on effects you have around the world globally and with other Muslim populations. But in terms of their coordination, they're in a pretty good place. So we're not in some sort of crisis rush to make sure this happens in the next few months, unless you're the Biden team. And you're desperate for a foreign policy win, because your promises on other foreign policy fronts have not borne out. So I think you will still see this continue, though we have doubled down on the Saudi discussion, if there is a second Trump administration. But you will not see this granting of a deal to Saudi Arabia, even though they are a phenomenal partner. And we are quite close, without more concrete asks that benefit U.S. goals as well. It's not the opinion that just having Saudi on side with nothing we've actually signed them up to, would they grant overflight rights, if things came down with Iran. We need to make those more specific before we would do something that would require commitment of troops, large resources, equipment, perhaps to the detriment of other partners, we would be able to send those same troops and equipment. So I don't think we're going to see it in the last months of this administration. Manya Brachear Pashman: To hear the rest of the panel, head to the link in our show notes.

Back on the lake in 90+ degree heat in Seattle pondering Tesla stocks zoom to $250+ per share, and $800B valuation. In this episode I explain my metaphor for analyzing stocks as Pokemon to understand businesses, and layering that framework to understand Tesla. The trifecta of technology pillars that Elon & squad have developed (battery and driving train, self driving & mass market sustainable manufacturing) are combining to disrupt transportation, energy and soon labor (with the Optimus robot). Owning Tesla equity is owning a basket of technologies that are only getting more relevant and whose monetization is on the cusp or ramping dramatically. There is no other way I want to store my hard earned guap, and that is why Tesla stock is still my #1 position and largest investment holding (I've been a shareholder for 13+ years now). 0:00 Tesla Stock is ripping 1:15 Tesla as a Pokemon (my analogy) 2:28 Tesla Cybercab 8/8 Event 2:59 Tesla is the Ford, Chevron & Saudi Aramco of the green energy revolution 4:50 Shoutout Cybervessel 5:00 Why Tesla might be cheap at $800B 10:42 Tesla equity is owning a basket of technology that will create Trillions of value for society 13:23 Tesla's Growing Intrinsic Earnings Power 16:02 Tesla Energy (Megapack) potential 17:33 Tesla is the Americana Futura vibe we need My X: / gfilche HyperChange Patreon :) / hyperchange Disclaimer: I'm long Tesla (TSLA) stock.
