Peter Schiff on record bond yields, a 12-year low in consumer confidence, the end of the 40-year refi era, and why gold is the last safe haven.

Trump took a beating from both parties for the Xi Jinping state dinner. Then Marco Rubio explained what happens if the Trump Xi meeting never takes place, and the answer should scare every American. The media banned from the dinner, the ballroom tour, and the GOP backlash got wall-to-wall coverage. The one thing that actually matters got zero. Meanwhile Bill Maher said something about Trump on Real Time that his own audience wasn't ready for, Abdul El-Sayed just made a bet that could end his Senate run before it starts, and two names surfaced behind the AI regulation push that explain why Washington suddenly wants to kill an industry. Jillian Michaels breaks it all down.IN THIS EPISODE:▶ Trump Xi Jinping Dinner: Rubio calls skipping this meeting "irresponsible." He's being polite. What he describes goes far beyond trade, and once you hear it the media circus over the ballroom looks a lot different.▶ White House Press Ban: CNN and Politico won their court case and still got stopped at the door. The same outlets screaming now stayed silent when another president tried it. Who, and when, is the part that ends the argument.▶ AI Regulation and Anthropic: Chamath Palihapitiya and Joe Lonsdale on a $10 trillion decision that picks which party runs the country for decades. Two billionaires paid for the AI panic. Wait until you hear what they actually own.▶ Bill Maher Gives Trump Credit: Maher broke from the left on live TV over crime. What he said, and what his own guest got wrong minutes later, tells you everything about where the media is headed.▶ Abdul El-Sayed vs Bill Maher: The Michigan Senate candidate wants to embarrass Maher on his own show. Jillian pulls his family's donor records and one Treasury designation that should have every Michigan voter asking questions.▶ AIPAC and Foreign Money: Jake from The Moderate Case reads James Fishback's donor list on air. Then Jillian ranks who's really buying Washington. AIPAC's spot on that list will make you rethink the entire debate.▶ Congo's Forgotten War: Millions dead and not one campus protest. A woman on the ground asks why. Jillian's answer comes from a refugee camp she slept in, and it names who's paying for the silence.

The recent Federal Reserve rate hike has sent shockwaves through the bond market, pushing the 10-year Treasury yield to highs not seen since 2007. This sudden rise in borrowing costs has priced many potential buyers out of the housing market while severely tightening the cost of capital for real estate investors and businesses.Despite these broader macroeconomic headwinds, the artificial intelligence and semiconductor sectors continue to experience massive rallies, effectively keeping the stock market afloat. We also explore the five sequential phases of a real estate market correction and why holding out for a total housing crash might leave prospective buyers waiting indefinitely.KEY TOPICS DISCUSSED01:04:32 The Federal Reserve interest rate policy mistake and its direct economic impacts01:17:49 Surging 10-year Treasury yields and extreme bond market volatility01:41:10 The five distinct phases of a real estate market correction using the Mueller model01:10:21 Artificial intelligence stock resilience and the ongoing semiconductor boom01:29:14 Geopolitical tensions impacting oil prices, bond yields, and core inflation data01:49:36 Q3 Bitcoin performance and the future of cryptocurrency regulation via the Clarity ActKEY TAKEAWAYSThe latest Federal Reserve rate hike has stifled the housing market and escalated the cost of capital without successfully slowing down the AI sector.The housing market is currently transitioning into a correction phase where transaction volume gridlocks and builders begin offering aggressive price concessions.AI and semiconductor equities are defying high borrowing costs because their potential return on investment far outweighs current interest rates.Relying solely on historical real estate gains is risky; diversifying across asset classes provides critical downside protection during economic shifts.Geopolitical conflicts are artificially inflating oil prices and bond yields, meaning a resolution could trigger a rapid drop in rates and a subsequent market rally.CONNECT & TAKE ACTIONExplore luxury living and investment opportunities at Skyline OC by visiting skylineocresidences.comText "X-RAY" to 844-777-1434 for a complimentary investment portfolio review to check fees and restructure your strategy.Text "INCOME" to 844-777-1434 to receive the full investor presentation for the Imagos Income Fund and generate consistent monthly passive income.

The bond market is repricing rapidly, with the 30-year Treasury yield topping 5.5% as investors abandon hopes of near-term rate cuts.

Brian Szytel reviews modest market declines (Dow -131, S&P -0.15%, Nasdaq -0.10%) with major indexes still up YTD, and focuses on the bond selloff pushing the 10-year yield to about 5.24% amid speculation about 6%. He argues higher yields reflect both higher nominal growth near 6% and a Fed intent on reducing its balance sheet, with limited ability for Treasury financing tactics to meaningfully lower yields. He notes consumer confidence missed (81 vs. 89), JOLTS openings dipped slightly (7.1M vs. 7.2M), and Case-Shiller home prices rose 0.3% monthly but lag inflation amid high mortgage rates and weak price discovery. He answers why rates rise despite higher oil: the Fed targets elevated PCE/core inflation by tightening to cool broad-based price pressures. 00:00 Market Close Recap 00:29 Why Yields Are Rising 02:17 Fed Put and Bond Vigilantes 03:16 Where Rates May Settle 03:37 Today's Economic Data 04:33 Housing Market Reality Check 05:21 Why Hike With High Oil 07:04 Wrap Up and Thanks Links mentioned in this episode: DividendCafe.com TheBahnsenGroup.com

Bitcoin is holding around $84,000 despite Brent crude trading around $106 to $107, Treasury yields above 5% across much of the curve and significant market expectations for another Fed rate hike. Strategy added another 1,665 Bitcoin for roughly $143 million while repurchasing about $152 million of STRC preferred shares, and Tom Lee's BitMine has now accumulated more than 6 million ETH. A Senate investigation also found heavy USDT usage among hundreds of sanctioned Iran-linked wallets, while Tether says it has helped freeze roughly $550 million in Iran-linked USDT this year.The Bitget hack is also raising a larger philosophical question after attackers attempted to move more than $50 million through NEAR Intents, which intervened despite describing its service as permissionless and uncensorable. Meanwhile, Anthropic's potential IPO is already being traded through synthetic crypto perpetuals before the company actually goes public, and its enormous infrastructure commitments highlight another Bitcoin headwind: AI companies are becoming major borrowers in an already crowded bond market. Vitalik Buterin is also outlining a dramatically different Ethereum architecture for 2030 built around cryptographic proofs, formal verification and quantum-resistant technology.Happy HODLing Hosted on Acast.

Today's top stories, with context, in just 15 minutes. On today's podcast: 1) Iranian officials have privately expressed pessimism about reaching a deal to end hostilities with Washington and reopen the Strait of Hormuz before US midterm elections in November, according to people familiar with the matter. Iran and the US made little progress during talks in New York on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly last week and the Islamic Republic believes there’s a high chance of the conflict escalating after the Nov. 3 vote, according to the people, some of whom were briefed by Iranian officials. They asked not to be named discussing sensitive matters. 2) President Donald Trump criticized the release on bail of five men held over an alleged terror plot against a Royal Air Force base used by the US for strikes against Iran, as British police continue to investigate foreign links to the incident. “I’m surprised that they released them, I wouldn’t have done that,” Trump told reporters on Monday.The decision to release the suspects sowed confusion about an incident that authorities had only a day earlier described as a serious attempted attack disrupted at a late stage. 3) The US Treasury Department took a big step toward curbing a Wall Street boom in investment strategies that help cut tax bills, with a notice signaling potential action on an array of tactics and a ruling that will limit the benefits of a popular ETF maneuver. The notice detailed a list of tax trades similar to those deemed “potentially abusive” and “too good to be true” by Treasury officials at an industry seminar in July. These include hedge-fund strategies that use swaps and currency derivatives to generate ordinary losses that can offset income tax — transactions which are at the heart of products such as AQR Capital Management’s Delphi Plus fund.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

For the last several years, we've been asking the same question:When are mortgage rates coming back down?Well, today I want to stop asking that question.Because right now we're looking at mortgage rates above 7%.The 10-year Treasury has moved above 5%.And today the 30-year Treasury reached a level we haven't seen since 2002. ReutersSo here's my question:What if rates DON'T come back down anytime soon?I'm not predicting that.Nobody sitting at this table knows where rates will be two years from now.But let's conduct an experiment.Let's assume 6%, 7%, maybe occasionally 8% mortgages remain part of American life.Then we have a problem.Because we can't keep solving a 2026 affordability problem by waiting for 2021 to come back.Something has to change.Maybe home prices change.Maybe the houses themselves change.Maybe we build them smaller.Maybe we finance them differently.Maybe sellers have to change their expectations.Maybe builders change what they build.Maybe buyers change what they expect their first home to look like.Maybe families start living together differently.Or maybe...ALL OF IT changes.So today Cory, Dwight and I aren't predicting mortgage rates.We're asking something I think is much more interesting:How does American housing have to change if rates stay right where they are?

Business and finance news from the Asia-Pacific. Bond investors got a respite in Asian trading from a bruising selloff after surging oil prices and mounting bets on further Federal Reserve interest-rate hikes drove Treasury yields to multi-year highs. Asian stocks fell. The US 10-year yield held at 5.23% after climbing as much as 11 basis points Monday to the highest since 2007. Two- and 30-year yields were steady as traders braced for the Fed to keep tightening policy to rein in inflation. We speak to Paul Dobson, Bloomberg's Executive Editor for Asia Markets. And - Climbing oil prices, stronger US business activity and concerns over elevated government debt have fueled the biggest Treasury selloff since President Donald Trump's April 2025 tariff rollout. Bloomberg TV host Shery Ahn spoke to Capital.com Senior Market Analyst Kyle Rodda.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Housing is set to be a buyer's market for a while longer. The Pre-Election Economic and Fiscal Update shows housing price growth will peak at 3% by March 2028, down slightly from 3.2% in the budget update. Cotality Chief Property Economist Kelvin Davidson told Mike Hosking the further out you go, the more uncertainty there is, but there's potentially a general change underway in the market at the moment, and so growth may look lower in the future. He says there's a variety of reasons why this could play out —including higher supply, debt to income ratio changes and lower interest rates— and it's not so good for homeowners.

The Finance Minister has her eye firmly on returning to surplus after a pre-election look into the books. Treasury forecasts predict the next two years' deficits will be much smaller, and the 2028/29 surplus nearly $2 billion larger than expected. But much of that improvement is down to income-tax bracket creep, and more revenue from GST and company tax. Nicola Willis told Mike Hosking it would be irresponsible to be talking about how they'll spend a surplus on things like tackling the tax bracket creep before it's arrived. She says circumstances could change, not because they won't remain focused, but because the world is volatile and forecasts could shift.

Labour's leader is confident their numbers add up when it comes to paying for their policies – including reversing pay equity changes. The Government's books were opened yesterday in Treasury's Pre-Election Economic and Fiscal Update. It revealed the planned 2028/29 surplus will be nearly $2 billion bigger than forecast, and the Crown will borrow less. Treasury thinks unemployment's peaked, and inflation's predicted to be back where it should be next year. Chris Hipkins told Mike Hosking they'll show there's room for pay equity in their fiscal plan, but won't have a specific line item on it. He says you don't tell the other side what's in the envelope when you're going through a bargaining process, and that's never been done with pay equity. Hipkins is also still coming to terms with the news that former Speaker and Labour MP Adrian Rurawhe has died. Rurawhe was MP for Te Tai Hauāuru from 2014 to 2023, was the Speaker in the last Labour Government's second term, and was a Labour list MP from 2023 until early this year. The 65-year-old will lie in state at Whangaehu Marae, south of Whanganui, until his burial at Ngā Puketuurua Ratana Pa. The Labour Leader told Hosking Rurawhe was well-respected across Parliament and did a great job as Speaker, and his death will come as a shock to everyone.

Rassegna stampa economico-finanziaria del 29 Settembre 2026, strutturata per macro-temi e basata sulle principali testate giornalistiche nazionali.Mercati, petrolio e tassi: torna centrale la selettivitàTestate: Il Sole 24 OrePetrolio e tassi tornano contemporaneamente al centro dell'attenzione dei mercati. Il greggio recupera terreno, mentre aumentano sensibilmente i rendimenti dei titoli di Stato.I Treasury americani a dieci anni superano il 5%, mentre i rendimenti del Regno Unito si collocano ancora più in alto. Italia e Francia si muovono invece nell'area del 4,5%.Il nuovo scenario non rappresenta necessariamente una cattiva notizia per gli investitori. Dopo anni caratterizzati da rendimenti estremamente bassi, l'obbligazionario torna infatti a offrire cedole interessanti.Diventa però fondamentale costruire le scadenze con gradualità, evitando di concentrare l'intero portafoglio su una sola durata.La parola chiave diventa quindi selettività: distinguere tra aziende solide e indebitate, Paesi credibili e più fragili, investimenti capaci di generare crescita e semplice spesa.Energia e competitività europeaTestate: Il Sole 24 OreSul mercato energetico emerge un forte differenziale tra il Brent europeo e il WTI americano, superiore ai 13 dollari al barile.Il dato mette nuovamente in evidenza una debolezza strutturale dell'Europa: un costo dell'energia superiore rispetto ai principali concorrenti internazionali finisce inevitabilmente per incidere sulla competitività delle imprese.Italia e Repubblica Ceca hanno avanzato sei proposte per modificare il sistema europeo delle emissioni, con l'obiettivo di ridurre almeno parzialmente i costi sostenuti dalle aziende.Per la manifattura italiana, una riduzione strutturale della bolletta energetica potrebbe rappresentare una leva di competitività più efficace rispetto a molti incentivi temporanei.Crescita italiana e conti pubbliciTestate: Il Sole 24 Ore / Corriere della Sera / MFSul fronte macroeconomico arrivano alcuni segnali incoraggianti. Fitch ha alzato all'1% la previsione di crescita del PIL italiano.Non si tratta di una crescita particolarmente elevata, ma il dato assume maggiore rilevanza in uno scenario caratterizzato da tassi ancora alti e debolezza della domanda internazionale.Il quadro dei conti pubblici appare inoltre compatibile con l'obiettivo di mantenere il deficit 2026 sotto il 3% del PIL.Con rendimenti dei titoli di Stato elevati, la credibilità fiscale diventa ancora più importante: un deterioramento dei conti pubblici può infatti tradursi rapidamente in un aumento del costo di finanziamento del debito.Rimane però una debolezza strutturale. L'industria italiana continua a investire, ma fatica ancora a trasformare pienamente gli investimenti in maggiore produttività e competitività.Export e manifattura: la difesa delle imprese italianeTestate: MFL'export continua a rappresentare una delle principali difese della manifattura italiana.Le imprese maggiormente presenti sui mercati internazionali mostrano generalmente una capacità superiore di reagire alla debolezza della domanda interna.L'internazionalizzazione si conferma quindi una leva strategica non soltanto per aumentare il fatturato, ma anche per diversificare il rischio e aumentare la resilienza delle imprese italiane.Data center e infrastrutture: una nuova filiera industriale per l'ItaliaTestate: la RepubblicaUna delle opportunità più interessanti riguarda lo sviluppo dei data center.In Italia si parla di investimenti potenziali per circa 25 miliardi di euro, una cifra capace di generare effetti che vanno ben oltre il settore tecnologico.Reti digitali, disponibilità energetica, infrastrutture e intelligenza artificiale potrebbero infatti convergere nella creazione di una nuova filiera industriale nazionale.La crescita dell'AI diventa quindi anche una questione infrastrutturale: la capacità di attrarre investimenti dipenderà sempre di più dalla disponibilità di energia, connettività e infrastrutture digitali adeguate.Intelligenza artificiale: dalla narrazione alla produttivitàTestate: Corriere della Sera / Il Sole 24 OreL'intelligenza artificiale entra sempre più direttamente nelle valutazioni economiche sulla produttività.Secondo il Corriere della Sera, l'effetto della tecnologia potrebbe valere circa quattro decimi di punto di produttività. Un impatto apparentemente contenuto, ma significativo se applicato all'intera economia.Nel frattempo Nvidia continua a mostrare una straordinaria capacità finanziaria: Il Sole 24 Ore segnala un nuovo programma di riacquisto di azioni per 150 miliardi di dollari.Meta prepara invece la vendita di strumenti di intelligenza artificiale direttamente alle imprese.L'AI sta quindi progressivamente uscendo dalla fase della semplice narrazione tecnologica per entrare nei bilanci, nei processi aziendali e nella produttività.La vera discriminante sarà capire quali società riusciranno a trasformare gli enormi investimenti attuali in utili sostenibili nel lungo periodo.USA-Cina: diminuisce la pressione sui daziTestate: principali testate economicheSul fronte internazionale arriva un segnale distensivo nei rapporti commerciali tra Stati Uniti e Cina.Washington e Pechino hanno concordato una riduzione dei dazi su beni per circa 60 miliardi di dollari.L'accordo non mette fine alla competizione strategica tra le due potenze, che rimane particolarmente intensa sui semiconduttori e sulle tecnologie avanzate.La riduzione delle barriere commerciali diminuisce però almeno una parte dell'incertezza che grava sul commercio mondiale, rappresentando un segnale positivo soprattutto per le imprese esportatrici.Finanza ed economia reale: CDP, housing e minibondTestate: principali testate economico-finanziarieIl sistema finanziario italiano continua a mobilitare capitali destinati direttamente all'economia reale.CDP ha mobilitato circa 20 miliardi di euro nel primo semestre, mentre Intesa Sanpaolo e BEI mettono in campo 300 milioni di euro destinati all'housing sociale e alle abitazioni accessibili.Interessante anche l'operazione realizzata dal Cotonificio Albini: un minibond da 5 milioni di euro con durata di sei anni, inserito nel programma promosso da CDP, Mediocredito Centrale e Sella.Le risorse saranno utilizzate per ammodernare gli stabilimenti, aumentare l'efficienza e sviluppare prodotti a maggiore valore aggiunto.È un esempio concreto di finanza che non rimane confinata ai mercati, ma viene indirizzata verso investimenti produttivi e crescita dell'economia reale.Executive Takeaways • I rendimenti elevati riportano l'obbligazionario al centroCon i Treasury decennali sopra il 5% e Italia e Francia nell'area del 4,5%, l'aumento dei tassi non rappresenta soltanto un rischio. Dopo anni di rendimenti compressi, le obbligazioni tornano a offrire opportunità di reddito, ma richiedono maggiore attenzione nella gestione delle scadenze.• Energia e competitività restano strettamente collegateIl differenziale di oltre 13 dollari tra Brent e WTI evidenzia ancora una volta lo svantaggio energetico europeo. Per la manifattura italiana, ridurre strutturalmente il costo dell'energia può diventare una delle principali leve di competitività.• L'Italia cresce più delle attese, ma deve aumentare la produttivitàFitch porta all'1% la previsione di crescita del PIL italiano e il deficit appare compatibile con l'obiettivo di restare sotto il 3%. Il problema strutturale rimane trasformare gli investimenti delle imprese in maggiore produttività e crescita.• L'intelligenza artificiale entra nell'economia realeData center per 25 miliardi di investimenti potenziali, effetti sulla produttività, strumenti AI venduti direttamente alle imprese e grandi investimenti delle Big Tech mostrano il passaggio dell'intelligenza artificiale dalla narrazione alla concreta trasformazione dei processi economici.• La selettività diventa la vera strategiaTassi elevati, AI, crescita italiana e minori tensioni commerciali creano contemporaneamente rischi e opportunità. In questa fase diventa fondamentale distinguere tra investimenti capaci di produrre reddito, innovazione e crescita e quelli sostenuti prevalentemente dalle aspettative.

The Government’s opened its books and it’s showing a return to surplus is well on track. The Pre-election Economic and Fiscal Update shows a stronger and slightly faster surplus than predicted... with the books expected to get out of the red by 2028/29. Treasury also predicts unemployment has already peaked - and will track down. But, it’s not all sunshine and rainbows. Predictions of house price growth have been slashed, and there are some choice words about how costly our super is.

Learn more about Astraeus Wealth Management: http://astraeuswealth.com/partner-with-us Guy Adami and Liz Thomas discuss historic moves in U.S. Treasuries, with yields jumping 20 bps in two days, the 5-year above 5%, and the average Treasury yield above 5%, signaling a new inflationary regime and forcing investors to rethink allocations. Despite higher discount rates, stocks have held up due to a rotation back into mega-cap tech and AI-driven CapEx supporting GDP expectations, even as the bond market “story” looks ominous. Thomas outlines a “balance by extremes” approach—overweight AI/tech while holding 10-year Treasuries, gold, and commodities—and warns a prolonged war and $90+ oil could push the Fed into hikes that risk recession. They debate gold's outlook amid technical pressure and reduced central-bank buying, and review banks rolling over as a flatter curve squeezes net interest margins and weaker deal-flow expectations pressure investment banks. They also flag midterm-election volatility, with healthcare favored, and note Tony Robbins appeared on “The Important Part.” —FOLLOW USYouTube: @RiskReversalMediaInstagram: @riskreversalmediaTwitter: @RiskReversalLinkedIn: RiskReversal Media The financial opinions expressed in Risk Reversal content are for information purposes only.

Live from Madrid (Sept 28, 2026) | Yaron Brook Show(Season 12, Episode 155)Watch now: https://youtube.com/live/sLrPRT7SZaAIf markets are pricing in "no adults in the room" on U.S. debt, mortgage rates are back above 7%, and Iran just got its president a seat at the UN mid-war — does anyone in Washington actually have a plan, or is everyone just improvising in public?Yaron Brook finally makes it to a webcam after a week bouncing between Tbilisi, Florence, and Madrid — and he's not easing back in gently. He opens with the story most people are ignoring: 10-year Treasury yields above 5.2%, 30-year above 5.5%, mortgages back over 7%, and a bond market that's stopped pretending anyone in Washington has a debt plan. Then he tears into Iran's latest fake offer to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, calls out Trump's red-carpet groveling to Xi, and makes the case that NVIDIA and a scrappy biotech startup — not government regulation — are the real answer to AI risk. Starship reached orbit. A Hamas operative got asylum in the UK. And somehow Netanyahu, for all his faults, still looks like the last adult in a room full of European politicians who'd rather cave than govern.Then the audience takes over: CPAs, career advice, zoning fights in your own backyard, whether men are really being "feminized," and why one European capital's mayor just switched parties. Unfiltered capitalism, individualism, and foreign policy — live, from a hotel room in Spain.Main Topics:00:00 — Live from Madrid: why there was no show for a week (Tbilisi, Florence, and Georgian hospitality)09:11 — The real story: 10-year yields above 5.2%, mortgages over 7%, and no adults in the room on U.S. debt14:55 — Why "deregulation + AI will save us" is a bipartisan fantasy36:12 — Iran's fake Hormuz reopening offer — and why oil above $100 tells the real story41:01 — A Hamas bodyguard was granted UK asylum, and Britain barely blinked58:36 — NVIDIA's OpenShell/Sentry and Red Queen Bio: AI is the answer to AI risk — and Starship reaches orbit1:44:16 — Why Netanyahu, for all his flaws, is still a giant next to Europe's leadersAudience Questions:1:07:24 — "How do I actually vet and trust a CPA before handing them my finances?"1:18:18 — Should your neighbor get to tear down a house and build multi-family housing next door?1:40:23 — Poland's mayor just became a Democrat — good sign or empty gesture?1:42:07 — Are men really being "feminized" in modern society — or is that the wrong word entirely?1:46:34 — Will Europe's tariff wars hand the next elections to the left?#InterestRates #IranNuclear #AIRegulation #Netanyahu #SpaceX #FreeSpeech #FirstAmendment #MarkZuckerberg #TrumpNews #FreeMarkets #Capitalism #Objectivism #AynRand #Anarchism #EconomicsExplainedLike this episode?Subscribe, share it with friends, and become a Patreon supporter to access monthly AMAs, exclusive content, and commercial-free audio.The Yaron Brook Show is Sponsored by[The Ayn Rand Institute](https://www.aynrand.org/starthere)[Energy Talking Points, featuring AlexAI, by Alex Epstein](https://alexepstein.substack.com/)[Express VPN](https://www.expressvpn.com/yaron)[Hendershott Wealth Management](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X4lfC...) &(https://hendershottwealth.com/ybs/)[Michael Williams & The Defenders of Capitalism Project](https://www.DefendersOfCapitalism.com)[Support the Show]( / yaronbrookshow )[Sponsor the Show](askyaron@yaronbrookshow.com/)[One-time donation](https://bit.ly/2RZOyJJ)Join the [Yaron Brook Show YouTube channel]( / @yaronbrook )Like what you hear?

Carl Quintanilla and Jim Cramer led off the show with a double dose of news from Nvidia: The company said it is adding a record-setting $150 billion to its share repurchase program. The tech giant also unveiled a software platform to prevent AI agents from misbehaving. Hear what Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang told CNBC about the "Open Agent Safety Platform." The anchors discussed stocks under pressure as Treasury yields and oil prices jumped — after President Trump rejected Iran's proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Shares of MongoDB tumbled after the company announced its CEO C.J. Desai is departing to take a senior position at Meta. Also in focus: Meta's "Muse" rally cools; Walmart's AI message; SpaceX launches its Starship rocket into orbit; Cramer highlights a group of stocks that has more than doubled year-to-date; Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei gets spoofed on NBC's "Saturday Night Live."

Interest rates are back in focus as the Fed raises rates, the 10-year Treasury pushes above 5%, and mortgage rates climb above 7%. We break down what higher-for-longer rates could mean for housing, consumer spending, inflation, and your investment portfolio—and why companies with strong growth, pricing power, solid cash flow, and less dependence on debt may be increasingly important in this environment. We also look at why Home Depot has caught our attention as housing affordability and the real estate market continue to adjust.Then we turn to the growth stories: SpaceX reaches another major Starship milestone, Nvidia announces a massive expansion of its stock-buyback program, and we look at two higher-risk names worth putting on the radar—Joby Aviation and its vision for electric air taxis, plus Natera, the precision-medicine and diagnostics company that has become a major holding for Stanley Druckenmiller. From AI and healthcare to autonomous aviation and the future of space, this episode is about finding growth while navigating a much more expensive cost of money.* This podcast contains general information that may not be suitable for everyone.

A former Finance Minister's hailing today as extremely important as Treasury opens the Government's books. This afternoon's Pre-Election Economic and Fiscal Update will show the levels of Crown debt, revenue, and expenditure. Budget 2026 predicted a return to operating surplus in the 2028/29 financial year – a year earlier than had been signalled. Steven Joyce told Mike Hosking things could change quickly, but it's a helpful snapshot. He says it's the best anchor, that shows where things are at, to help parties explain how they'll pay for their election promises. Joyce is warning to 'proceed with caution' though – saying it'll be better than people think, but there are dangers with that too. He acknowledges it may be a vote of confidence in the Government's short-term economic management, but the big issue still remains as to how to drive debt down.

At the Labour Party conference in Liverpool, the mood is jubilant. They have a popular leader who can speak fluently in public. Andy Burnham's speech on Tuesday will be a big moment and it's expected to be full of announcements. Whitehall and cabinet ministers are trying to keep up. The problem, as always, is making the sums add up. The prime minister has made social care the main topic of conversation. We discuss whether he is ready to ditch the triple-lock on pensions to pay for social care reform and whether he could fight an election promising tax rises.In Rachel Reeves's first budget, taxes went up more than £30 billion, and then she had to come back for more. The Treasury wanted to avoid a third tax-raising budget but the numbers are moving against them.

Stocks rose about 13 percent while the 10 year U.S. Treasury yield touched 5 percent, breaking the usual inverse pattern between equities and bond yields. Earnings resilience from large cap technology firms such as Microsoft, Nvidia, Apple, and Amazon helped support valuations. The Federal Reserve, led by Chair Jerome Powell, signaled a higher for longer posture as inflation moderated from 2022 levels. The U.S. Treasury, under Secretary Janet Yellen, increased long dated issuance, lifting yields through supply and term premium rather than inflation fears. Many companies termed out debt in 2020 and 2021, slowing the pass through of higher rates to interest expense. Founders face higher borrowing costs but can still access capital by focusing on durable revenue, positive unit economics, and disciplined investment thresholds.Learn more on this news by visiting us at: https://greyjournal.net/news/ Hosted on Acast.

Peter Schiff on why 86% of the S&P is already in a bear market, the 1973 and 2000 parallels, 5% Treasury yields, and new IRS emails on his bank.

This week, we're bringing you an episode of WSJ's Take On the Week. Host Miriam Gottfried is joined by guest co-host and WSJ markets reporter Sam Goldfarb to break down the unprecedented surge in the 10-year Treasury yield. Meghan Swiber, U.S. rates strategist at Bank of America, joins the show to discuss what influences these yields, and how a 5% yield affects everyday borrowing costs including mortgage rates, which are again topping 7%. Swiber unpacks the Treasury Department's surprising buybacks, and how this strategy compares to the actions the Federal Reserve took to mitigate the effects of the last financial crisis. Plus, how is the market reacting to the Fed, which is trying to battle inflation by hiking rates? Have an idea for a future guest or episode? How can we better help you take on the week?

The Treasury market is doing something it has only done on 5.4% of the time over the last 36-plus years. In broad terms, the yield curve is unusually steep at the front and unusually flat at the back. Put those two together and it makes this rare combination, which means it is telling us something very important but also very specific. Eurodollar University's Money & Macro Analysis----------------------------------------------------------------------------------What if your gold could actually pay you every month… in MORE gold?That's exactly what Monetary Metals does.

Yours Truly:  We Built a 5% SWR Retirement Portfolio Using Fidelity in 48 Minutes (Golden Ratio Portfolio)AI Agent Folllies with Hannah Fry:  Why AI Agents are either the best or worst thing we've ever builtbBreathless Unedited AI-Bot Summary:Most personal finance advice fails for one simple reason: it ignores where you actually are. We start by answering a listener's question about book recommendations, but we do it through a framework that makes the whole money world easier to navigate: four investor levels, from budgeting and cash flow, to early-stage investing, to low-cost index fund competence, to more advanced goal-driven portfolio design. Along the way, we call out the “shiny object” traps where media and marketing keep people stuck buying products instead of building skills.From there we get practical about learning efficiently in 2026: use AI to summarize popular personal finance books, compare what overlaps, and only read the ones that truly fit your family. We talk through standout titles like The Psychology of Money, The Simple Path to Wealth, Die With Zero, and Just Keep Buying, then pivot to what matters most for couples in their 30s with kids: getting on the same page. We share resources built for real relationships, including Ramit Sethi's Money for Couples and a surprisingly useful marriage-centered option from John Gottman that includes guided money conversations.Next, we tackle a classic risk parity investing question: should you use EDV instead of TLT for long-term Treasury bond exposure? We break down bond duration in plain English, why total bond funds like BND can be weak diversifiers against equities, and how Treasury STRIPS funds can change portfolio volatility and sizing. Finally, we run through our weekly portfolio reviews and the current market backdrop, including why managed futures can behave differently when stocks and bonds struggle.If you like data-driven investing with a human filter, subscribe, share the show with a friend, and leave us a rating and review so more DIY investors can find it.Support the show

Open through Sunday, October 18. — Laura ======================================================== The 10-year Treasury yield just hit its highest level since 2007, and Ran Neuner thinks Scott Bessent will answer by bringing more money to the party. Neuner, founder and CEO of Crypto Banter, makes the case to Laura Shin that this is not just another Bitcoin cycle but crypto's first real bull market. His argument rests on two use cases. The first is social trading, which he describes as the world's biggest social network and casino "having a baby," with Hyperliquid and Pump.fun earning millions of dollars a day. The second is AI agents: he cites a study projecting one billion agents by 2029 and a new BlackRock report arguing machine-to-machine payments favor blockchain rails over ACH and card networks. They also cover why he calls RWAs magazines moved online, whether AI IPOs will drain crypto liquidity, and why he thinks Zcash may be more useful than Bitcoin. If he's right, his own 7x altcoin projection may prove conservative.
