The structural dollar bearish case is holding into 2H, though fiscal considerations are what dollar bears may lean on going forward after being driven mainly by tariff uncertainty and the impact on the de-dollarization narrative. Bloomberg Intelligence's Chief G10FX Strategist Audrey Childe-Freeman talks to Stuart Paul, US and Canada economist at Bloomberg Economics, about the US debt dynamics and how the fiscal outlook could shape and drive the dollar view into 2H. Stuart and Audrey also touch on the narrow path to a potential dollar recovery via short-term cyclical dynamics should the US economy prove more resilient than expected. This isn't Bloomberg Intelligence's central working assumption, but it's a scenario worth acknowledging.

May 23, 2025 – Markets are choppy, headlines are driving wild swings, and policy shifts seem to dictate every move. But is this just noise, or are deeper trends at play? Mish Schneider of MarketGauge joins Jim Puplava to challenge bullish...
The Bitcoin Alpha podcast explores the macroeconomic forces driving Bitcoin's evolution as a neutral reserve asset. Treasury Secretary Bessent's pivot from tariffs to growth-focused fiscal policy signals inevitable monetary expansion as US debt sustainability reaches critical levels. Japan's yield curve crisis threatens $1.2 trillion in Treasury holdings while Bitcoin demonstrates remarkable resilience during market volatility. The discussion covers Bitcoin treasury companies like MicroStrategy flooding public markets, stablecoin regulation priorities, and institutional adoption trends. With 30-day volatility near one-year lows and the longest streak above $100K in Bitcoin's history, the risk-reward setup appears historically favorable as traditional financial systems face mounting pressure.
On today's podcast: 1) President Trump's tax cut bill heads to the Senate, but it may have to satisfy bond markets first. Bonds and the dollar rose, with 30-year yields falling after approaching levels last seen in 2007, as investors worried about the US's surging debt load and fiscal concerns. 2) The White House ramps up its fight with Harvard, blocking foreign students from enrolling. The Trump administration has revoked Harvard University's ability to enroll international students, making up about 27% of the student body, citing the university's failure to condemn antisemitism. The move is seen as a direct attack on Harvard's revenue source, tuition, and may prompt the university to seek a temporary restraining order to block the ban. 3) A new survey says U-S businesses will be hardest hit by President Trump's tariffs. US businesses are the most worried about the impact of President Donald Trump’s shifting tariff policies on their revenues, with more than half projecting a hit of at least 25% to their revenue, according to a survey by HSBC Holdings Plc.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
