"You are going to see a crack in the bond market." This episode breaks down why the bond market, not the stock market, is the one investors should be watching right now, as 30-year US Treasury yields hit their highest levels in about two decades. He explains what a bond actually is, how it differs from a stock, and why the US government has had to start buying its own debt to stabilize the market. Jaspreet Singh walks through why Treasury yields set mortgage, auto loan, and credit card rates across the economy, and why traditional lenders like the Federal Reserve, foreign governments, and banks have grown more cautious about lending to the US. He also covers the debt to GDP ratio, the risk of a self-reinforcing "doom loop," and how investors might think about positioning their money depending on which direction the economy heads. In this episode, you'll learn: The core difference between owning a stock and owning a bond, including who gets paid first in a bankruptcy Why the 10-year Treasury yield sets mortgage, auto loan, and credit card rates across the economy Why the Federal Reserve, foreign governments like Japan and China, and banks have become more cautious lenders to the US How the 2022 Silicon Valley Bank collapse was tied to rising Treasury yields and falling bond prices How the Genius Act requires crypto companies like Tether to buy US Treasuries, becoming a fast growing source of demand Why the US debt to GDP ratio has grown from about 55% in 2000 to roughly 125% today The "doom loop" scenario, where rising debt, higher rates, and money printing can feed into each other The two paths forward, the economy outgrowing the debt versus the doom loop, and how that shapes investment decisions Keywords: bond market, Treasury yields, national debt, mortgage rates, Federal Reserve, Silicon Valley Bank, Genius Act, debt to GDP, doom loop, investing ✅ Register for my investing Workshop & get Market Briefs as a bonus: Please note: Yes, these are our sponsors & advertisers.

"And the dollar only has value if people believe it has value." This episode breaks down why central banks around the world now hold more gold than US Treasuries for the first time in modern history, and what it signals about global trust in the dollar. He covers France pulling its physical gold out of the US Federal Reserve, talk of Germany doing the same, and Hong Kong's new system for buying gold in Chinese yuan instead of dollars. Jaspreet Singh traces this shift back to the US leaving the gold standard in 1971, the inflation crisis that followed, and the rise of the petrodollar, then compares it to what is happening today as national debt has climbed from about 55% of GDP in 2000 to roughly 125% now. He also explains how the US freezing Russian assets after the invasion of Ukraine pushed other countries to reconsider holding their wealth in dollars, and what this all means for how investors might position their money. In this episode, you'll learn: How the world's reserve asset mix has shifted between gold, US Treasuries, the dollar, and the euro since 1971 Why France pulled its physical gold from the US Federal Reserve and why Germany may be considering the same How the US freezing Russian assets after the Ukraine invasion pushed other countries to diversify away from the dollar The history of the petrodollar and how Hong Kong's new yuan based gold settlement system chips away at dollar dominance Why gold pays no interest yet is gaining favor again after decades of Treasuries being the preferred reserve asset Why US debt has grown from about 55% of GDP in 2000 to roughly 125% today Vladimir Putin's comments on how freezing dollar assets undermines global trust in the currency Two ways to think about positioning investments: debasement assets like gold, silver, and Bitcoin versus owning US economic growth through the S&P 500 Keywords: reserve currency, gold, US Treasuries, dollar debasement, national debt, petrodollar, debt to GDP, central banks, Bitcoin, investing ✅ Register for my investing Workshop & get Market Briefs as a bonus: Please note: Yes, these are our sponsors & advertisers.

For about a year, NYU mathematician Tristan Buckmaster and a researcher at Anthropic had been working on an obscure approach to one of the famous Clay Institute "millennium prize" problems (with $1 million on the line)—running their drafts through private OpenAI Codex sessions hosted on OpenAI's servers. When a step forward emerged (a result related to "blow-up" in the Euler equations of fluid dynamics), accusations flew that OpenAI's model had essentially "copied their homework"—learning from their private work and then producing the result itself. The host uses it to open up what he thinks is the defining debate of the era: when you collaborate with an AI, and it helps you reach an insight you genuinely pushed it toward, who owns the result? He walks through the emerging solutions—Alex Karp of Palantir's "put something in the middle" approach, versus self-hosting an open-source model behind your own servers with your own tuned "weights" so your inputs stay proprietary even as the world uses your outputs. He's candid that he's genuinely torn: as someone building his own project (Kaizen), he admits feeling the impulse to keep some paths secret for a six-month lead, while also arguing that since AI was trained on all of humanity, there's an obligation to keep letting it aggregate humanity's breakthroughs—especially in a field like medicine, where he shares a personal story about a family member's cancer and how siloed, firewalled medical data made coordination nearly impossible. His most provocative point is psychological: that the reason people aren't celebrating even a real (if modest) step forward is a raw human fear of being made to feel irrelevant—that "I can't let it be the AI that did this." He closes on his recurring throughline: rather than running to the government to regulate AI (which he thinks would hurt the open-source models that are the real check on Big AI), the open market and open source should be allowed to solve this—letting young upstarts protect their proprietary "weights" and compete, so a handful of giant companies can't hoard the breakthroughs.The team breaks down a sharp escalation in the Iran conflict and maps how it connects to a much bigger global picture. The immediate news: an intensifying tanker war in the Strait of Hormuz, with the IRGC claiming its largest attack of the war (striking multiple vessels and claiming hits on US destroyers), the US reportedly sinking eight Iranian oil tankers over four days, and Iran launching 20 ballistic missiles at a US base in Jordan—of which Jordan says 18 were intercepted and two hit empty desert, with no casualties reported. The host stresses a key caveat: with the IRGC claiming major damage and the Pentagon denying it, the truth is genuinely murky, and neither side's account should be taken at face value. He reads the "2-for-1" retaliation pattern and Rubio's "shoot at our ships and you lose tankers" posture as a deliberate US strategy of disproportionate response—while flagging the real risk that Iran is trying to bait the US into depleting munitions it may need for two other potential fights: a cornered, economically flailing Germany squaring off with a declining Russia, and the looming US-China collision. From there he lays out his central framework: that the US and China are two "wounded animals," both the largest economies, both feeling a narrow window, both pressing—China racing to divorce from the dollar (he floats his own contested theory that they may back the yuan with gold), reshore chip-making, and potentially move on Taiwan by 2027, because the deeper prize underneath everything is AI, and AI runs on chips. He argues energy undergirds the entire board, which is why the Strait, the Houthi attacks on Saudi oil infrastructure, OPEC fracturing, and the Venezuela play all matter, and offers his read on why the US actually entered Iran (securing GCC capital for the AI bet, under the banner of non-proliferation). He's candid about which parts are his interpretation, flags his gold-backed-yuan idea as highly contested, and lands on his recurring throughline: a multipolar world is coming, and the real question is what kind of "overlord" order the world ends up choosing—one you can vote out, or one you can't.The team connects a series of escalating global stories that the host argues are increasingly becoming one convergent conflict. First, Iran: the Revolutionary Guard reportedly fired hypersonic ballistic missiles at a US aircraft carrier and a guided-missile destroyer in the Strait of Hormuz—a dramatic escalation from base and drone attacks—with both ships evading and no Americans hurt, after which US forces struck and reportedly sank Iranian oil tankers. The host frames a country as most dangerous when it's weakest, and notes Bessent's argument that Iran is running out of the pre-purchased Chinese oil money keeping it afloat, meaning the coming months could get more dangerous before any off-ramp. Second, Europe: reports that Germany is moving toward direct conflict with Russia (closing Russian consulates, restricting entry after a drone incident), which could trigger NATO and pull in the US—complicated by the rise of Germany's AfD party (now reportedly the second-largest, around 23% to the leading party's ~30%), which has floated exiting the EU. Third, diplomacy: Witkoff and Kushner arriving to broker talks, with a reported 72-hour agreement between Putin and Zelensky not to strike each other's capitals (though front-line fighting continues and a broader ceasefire was rejected)—the host cautiously optimistic given their Abraham Accords track record, while noting their recent results have been thinner. Fourth, the US-Venezuela deal versus China, which claims its own competing, "internationally protected" interest there—prompting the host's blunt aside that "international law" is really just a function of who holds the most power. And finally, the bigger economic picture: a Nordic country reportedly selling ~$80B in US Treasuries, central banks buying gold in historic amounts (with gold reportedly overtaking US debt as the top reserve asset), and the resurfaced Ray Dalio warning about what happens when an empire has to start buying its own debt. The host's throughline: the US has a real opportunity—if it rebuilds a genuine moral center, restores fiscal discipline, and competes with China by being genuinely better for partner nations (Venezuela being the key test)—but the window is closing, and a multipolar world can deliver either the benefits of real competition or the dangers of everyone violently choosing sides.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Japan dumped $90 billion in US Treasuries as the global financial system faces growing pressure. US interest costs are surging, foreign creditors are protecting their own currencies, and the assets once considered safe are becoming a source of risk. Bitcoin does not need a sudden financial collapse to win, it only needs confidence in government liabilities to keep eroding. That shift could turn Bitcoin from the risky asset into the safe asset.Link to Luke Gromen and Lyn Alden episode on @BTCSessions https://youtu.be/xoAuuJyBg6E?si=r4JXCoEZNxLIRgyVSPONSORS✅ Lednhttps://www.nmj1gs2i.com/9W598/9B9DM/?source_id=podcastSimply Bitcoin clients get 0.25% off their first loanNeed liquidity without selling your Bitcoin?

On today's show we're going to take a trip around the world through one very specific lens: the yield on the 10-year government bond.This is not just a tour of interest rates. The 10-year bond is one of the clearest places where investors collectively put a price on inflation, fiscal policy, monetary policy, currency risk, and increasingly, geopolitics.As we record this, the U.S. 10-year Treasury is around 4.8 percent. Germany is around 3.35 percent. The United Kingdom is above 5.1 percent. France is around 4.2 percent. Italy is also around 4.2 percent. Japan has crossed 3 percent, and South Korea is around 4.4 percent.Those numbers are interesting individually. But the comparison between them is where the story starts to emerge.And there's another dimension to these numbers that I think makes the story even more interesting.Ask yourself: When was the last time these countries were paying this much for 10-year money? Some of these date back 20 years, and in some cases 30 years. What does that mean for the global demand for US Treasuries, independent of geopolitics? Why take currency risk if you can get decent yield at home? If there are fewer buyers for US bonds in Germany or Japan, those bond prices fall and you will pay more for a loan in the US. That's the link. ---------------**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)

Two audio essays, one smouldering fuse. This week, Philip Pilkington takes on a financial cascade emerging from the Japanese Bond situation. Ever since its one-day bond market heart attack in March, Japan has been trapped: it can't raise rates, it can't let the yen fall, so it has sold the very US Treasuries that hold the US system together. Knowing how perilous things are, in the background, Scott Besent is trying to send in support. But this Wizard of Oz is himself running out of tricks. And when these fail, much like the 2011 sovereign debt crisis, there will be other marks ready to be hit – starting with Britain. Meanwhile, the Japanese bond crisis began with the spike in oil prices. Now, Andrew Collingwood asks how the Iran War is about to be extruded through the gravitational field of US domestic politics. To him, what looks like a stalemate is actually profoundly unstable, hinging on a unique paradox: the more success America has in keeping the Strait of Hormuz open, the more likely Iran is to escalate.

Shutterstock Track 1219389 Monetization ID TFGEPGEI0LHEIJAI Kia ora. Welcome to Friday's Economy Watch where we follow the economic events and trends that affect Aotearoa/New Zealand. I'm David Chaston and this is the international edition from interest.co.nz. Today we lead with news we may be seeing the end of markets regarding US Treasuries as safe-haven assets – although to be fair it isn't clear what would replace it. Long-maturity US Treasury yields rose today to reverse the drop we noted yesterday. The yield on the US 10-year bond rose back towards the earlier 20-month high this week before the Bessent action, and the yield on the 30-year bond rose back too. A couple of points are worth making first before we review today's data updates. The first is that it has been the role of the Fed to do QE activity. Maybe Warsh isn't keen now because he is committed to shrinking the Fed's balance sheet. It grew because the Fed wanted to push down rates, and that came with the consequence of massive bond buying. In fact, they moved the needle with "whatever it takes" to the tune of US$3.5 tln in the GFC and the subsequent stabilisation. And then another US$4.5 tln for the pandemic response that started in 2020. They have only paid down US$2.5 tln since. Warsh wants to get that significatly lower. Now Bessent wants to do his own QE, in his case to avoid the political consequence his boss will face - at least push it off "till later'. But his announcement talks of a 'doubling', and that is only an extra of +$2 bln. The Fed was effective with trillions. But Bessent wants to do the same thing with billions. Wall Street hedge funds will be looking for a Bessent put, and unless he delivers his objective the hole thing might collapse rather quickly. Bessent should know - he was a billionaire hedge fund manager on Wall Street who made his fortune gaming the system. The Bessent initiative hardly lasted one day. And this comes as the US Treasury's latest daily cash and debt balances statement shows public debt now exceeds US$40 tln (Table IIIC). Why is this important for us? Well, the world's economy is still being driven by US middle-class consumer demand, the only economic engine large enough to shift the global needle. And we rely on a healthy upbeat global economy. China says it is making an attempt to duplicate this internal consumer demand, but by all accounts it is not succeeding, in part because Chinese consumers are still very risk averse and prioritising savings over consumption, and more so recently. Meanwhile, initial jobless claims in the US fell to 172,000 last week, a slightly larger dip than seasonal factors would have indicated. There are now 1.8 mln people on these benefits, also marginally lower than the week before. The August Philly Fed factory survey came in much stronger than expected, building on an outsized July expansion. This is all about current activity. Oddly, new order levels fell. But price pressures did moderate this month. The Conference Board said its Leading Index for the US ticked up in July, marking the fourth increase over the past six months. Most components were positive in July except consumer expectations, which continued to be a notable drag. In Canada, their July producer prices index rose from the prior month to be -12.4% higher than year ago levels. Their raw materials index is up more than +18% on the same basis. Across the Pacific, Japan said its exports swelled +23% in July from a year ago and to an all-time record high, boosted by AI-related semiconductors and data center equipment. Meanwhile, imports were up almost +28%, boosted by fuel imports which were up more than +53% in value. and total imports also hit a new record high. The net was a small trade deficit on merchandise. China held its key lending rates at ultra low levels in the regular monthly update. But these very low rates aren't exactly generating a boom, more just holding things together. The People's Bank of China kept its key lending rates at these record lows for a 15th straight month. And that is what analysts were expecting. And remember Evergrande? Well yesterday a Chinese court sentenced its founder and boss to life imprisonment for "massive fraud". Orders for Taiwanese exports soared +62% in July from a year ago to a new record high of US$98 bln. That follows an outstanding +59% jump in June. Booming global demand for AI-related and technology products continued to fuel overseas sales. This is on top of a July 2025 increase of +21% which at the time seemed like an outstanding achievement. Malaysian exportsjumped an outstanding +38% in July from a year ago to a record high. This was led my electronic exports to the US. Meanwhile, their imports rose +36%, with the fastest rises from India, South Korea, and then China. In Europe, German producer prices rose in July too, only at a +3.0% year-on-year rate but that was their fastest since April 2023. Australian inflation expectations rose by 0.2 percentage points in August to 4.9%. This follows a three-month period of moderating inflation expectations. Wage expectations also rose in August, after remaining static for a prolonged period. Staying in Australia, full-time jobs rose +16,300 in July but part-time jobs fell -32,200 in the month for a new decrease in employment levels. So instead of the expected +15,000 rise in jobs, they had a -15,800 net fall. While this may seem like a big movement, in fact the June positive result was quite elevated so a leveling out is probably to be expected. Global container freight rates were up +4% last week from the prior week to be double what they were a year ago. Outbound rates from China to the US drove the increase with those up +9% for the week, up +180% from a year ago. Meanwhile bulk cargo rates fell -7.5% this past week to be +40% higher than year-ago levels. The UST 10yr yield is now just on 4.70%, up +5 bps from this time yesterday. The 30 year yield is at 5.24% and up +4 bps. The price of gold is up sharply, now at US$4520/oz, up +US$17 from yesterday at this time. Silver has risen another +US$2 to just over US$68. Oil prices are up US$1 from yesterday at just over US$86.50/bbl in the US, while the international Brent price is now just over US$93.50/bbl and up +US$2. The Kiwi dollar is up +10 bps from yesterday at just over 59.4 USc. Against the Aussie we have risen +30 bps to 83.6 AUc. Against the euro we are up +10 bps at 50.9 euro cents.

The United States just crossed the $40 trillion debt milestone, and new Treasury data shows foreign buyers pulling back. Jackson Mikalic, Michael Tanguma, and Liam Nelson put four stories on the clock (Brian Cubellis is out this week). They break down Anthropic's revenue run rate climbing to $65 billion in July, about seven times where it was a year ago, against OpenAI's recently reported $40 billion, and what it means for the AI capex debate. A new company called Toka can hijack live camera feeds, Google just paid $10 million for Spirit Airlines' internal customer data, and a viral backlash against Flock's license-plate cameras raises the question of who is actually watching your data. Foreign holdings of US Treasuries fell in June, led by Japan and China, and a global bond selloff has sent long-term borrowing costs to their highest levels in decades, right as the country crosses $40 trillion in debt. And with Senate control now a 50-50 toss-up, the group discusses what a Democratic sweep in 2026 would mean for AI regulation, deficit spending, and the K-shaped economy. Where's the signal, and where's the noise?---
Is South Korea’s bruising sell-off creating a buying opportunity? Does Alibaba become more compelling as it sells businesses to double down on AI? And with 30-year US Treasuries yielding around 5.25%, is that an attractive return - or a warning about risk, especially for Singapore investors exposed to a weaker US dollar? Michelle Martin speaks with Swapnil Mishra, author of Investing for the Clueless, Reckless and Overly Cautious, about where he sees opportunity now. They also unpack bond ETFs, the risks of equity-market concentration, and why ETF ownership in Singapore remains relatively low despite growing investor interest.

Die Wall Street steht heute wegen weiter anziehender Renditen bei Staatsanleihen unter Druck. Die Rendite der 30-jährigen US-Treasuries steigt auf über 5,32 Prozent und damit auf den höchsten Stand seit 19 Jahren, während die zehnjährige Rendite über 4,73 Prozent klettert. Besonders hart trifft das den Technologiesektor. Neben den höheren Ölpreisen und zunehmenden Spannungen mit Iran rücken vor allem die gewaltigen Haushaltsdefizite und die explodierende Emission neuer Anleihen zur Finanzierung des KI-Booms in den Fokus. Der Kapitalmarkt muss zunehmend die Lücke schließen, die durch Investitionen weit oberhalb der operativen Cashflows entsteht. Bei den Unternehmen liefert Home Depot starke Zahlen. Umsatz, Gewinn und vergleichbare Umsätze übertreffen die Erwartungen, allerdings wird lediglich der Jahresausblick bestätigt und ein Teil der Ergebnisstärke stammt aus Zollrückerstattungen. Fabrinet schlägt ebenfalls die Erwartungen und gibt einen besseren Ausblick, wird aber wegen schwächerer Datacom-Umsätze und der erneut extrem hohen Erwartungen verkauft. Baidu profitiert von einem Wachstum von 50 Prozent im KI-Cloud-Geschäft, während das traditionelle Geschäft deutlich schrumpft und der Gewinn die Erwartungen verfehlt. Bank of America verteidigt unterdessen Nvidia und sieht die Aktie trotz der zunehmenden Risiken durch Vendor-Finanzierungen als attraktiv bewertet; bei den Zahlen am 26. August werden allerdings zusätzliche Details zu den außerbilanziellen Verpflichtungen erwartet.

The SEC stopped waiting for Congress. Harmony minted four billion tokens out of thin air. And on Robinhood's new chain, AI agents moved $200 million while the humans logged off. Joel and Travis cover the SEC's August 14 vote on Regulation Crypto — the first formal crypto rulemaking of Chairman Paul Atkins' tenure, landing days after the Senate left town without moving the CLARITY Act. Then: Harmony's empty-block exploit that minted 26% of ONE's total supply and the chain rollback the team is now weighing; Goldman Sachs buying NEOS Investments for $2.25 billion and inheriting a bitcoin income ETF; Tether becoming the 17th largest holder of US Treasuries on Earth; Anthropic watermarking everything Claude writes to satisfy the EU AI Act; H100 Group's world-first bitcoin-for-bitcoin acquisition; Hyperliquid's absurd $106 million of revenue per employee; and Anthropic's $9.1 billion, 20-year lease with bitcoin miner Riot Platforms — signed at a moment when it costs more to mine a bitcoin than a bitcoin is worth. Joel demos three AI builds including an America Online time capsule frozen in August 1996, and Travis walks through FourthWeb's agent swarm scraping 150-plus news sources every fifteen minutes. Plus: 52% of Gen Z investors have moved money earmarked for investing into sports betting, and 26% now call it part of their long-term financial strategy.

Your morning briefing. All the news you need to start your day.On today's podcast:(1) Russia may escalate attacks against the Baltic States and Poland, a European intelligence official said, amid rising concern that Moscow wants to further intimidate nations supporting Ukraine.(2) A $42 billion auction of 10-year US Treasuries resulted in the highest yield for the benchmark securities since 2007, luring decent appetite from investors who’ve been demanding more compensation to finance the US government.(3) Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi’s government is supportive of a near-term rate hike by the Bank of Japan, with the next move likely either in September or October, according to people familiar with the matter.(4) Global stocks climbed toward a record and bonds extended gains as a subdued US inflation report eased concerns about an imminent interest-rate hike by the Federal Reserve. Brent snapped a six-day rally.(5) The US military campaign against Iran has so far failed to force the regime to capitulate. The Trump administration is betting once again that suffocating economic pressure will do the job.(6) Europe’s fifth heat wave of the summer is set to peak Thursday, the latest in a string of extreme weather events that have strained health systems and energy networks across the region.(7) The black box around Xi Jinping’s corruption crackdown has long fueled political gossip in China. Now, an underground market is emerging for selling purported secrets on who might be next to fall.(8) Toms Kreicbergs worked on Wall Street before returning to his native Latvia, where he writes science fiction and engages in an enterprise almost as fanciful: trying to get more of his fellow citizens to invest in the stock market. In countries big and small, the European Union is chasing a dream: Its savers, with €11 trillion stashed in bank accounts, will finally develop a lust for stock and bond markets and pump money into businesses across the region, powering both European growth and their own prosperity.Podcast Conversation: China Pioneered 90-Second Microdramas, and Hollywood Wants InSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Derek Moore is joined by Mike Snyder and Shane Skinner this week to talk about a jobs report the market read as bad news is good news: payrolls up just 23,000 versus 80,000 expected, the prior two months revised down by 103,000, and participation slipping to 61.4%, the lowest since February 2021, even as unemployment fell to 4.1%. Daniel Lacalle argues the Fed is already weighing on the labor market, yet overnight index swaps still price about 1.7 hikes by mid-2027 — so are hikes really off the table? Plus, the US Dollar Index breakout, why there aren't 10% pre-tax US Treasuries, and how the SpaceX share unlock could lift its Nasdaq-100 weight from roughly 1.3% to 3.1%. Nonfarm payrolls added just 23,000 jobs in July versus 80,000 expected. The prior two months were revised down by a combined 103,000 jobs. Private payrolls rose 30,000 and manufacturing added 5,000. The unemployment rate ticked down to 4.1%. Daniel Lacalle argues the Fed is already hurting the labor market and hikes aren't justified. Labor force participation fell to 61.4%, the lowest since February 2021 per Charlie Bilello. Average hourly earnings rose 3.2% year over year versus 3.5% expected. Overnight index swaps now price about 1.7 hikes by mid-2027 with the implied rate near 4.05%. Why is the market pricing hikes rather than cuts after a soft jobs number? J.C. Parets asks whether the US Dollar Index breakout is a big deal. What a stronger dollar means for multinationals and commodities. Eric Balchunas notes the Middle East oil shipping futures ETF is up 1,294% year to date Drewry's WCI container freight benchmark sits at 4,297.46 per 40-foot box What rising freight and shipping rates signal about goods inflation ahead. How Nasdaq-100 weighs an adjusted market cap: SpaceX at roughly $1.5 trillion with about 5% free float SpaceX has a 15% factor, or about $225 billion effective cap and roughly a 1.3% index weight. If free float jumps to 12%, the factor jumps to 36%, based on today's price would raise weight to 3.1% Mentioned in this Episode Derek Moore's book Broken Pie Chart https://amzn.to/3S8ADNT Jay Pestrichelli's book Buy and Hedge https://amzn.to/3jQYgMt Derek's book on public speaking Effortless Public Speaking https://amzn.to/3hL1Mag
Ben and Tom discuss the rare coordinated currency intervention with the US joining Japan and possibly Korea to prop up the yen from 164 to 155, Japan spending at least $53 billion with the US chipping in over $1 billion — reportedly by selling euros rather than dollars in a strategic move to pressure Eurozone policy while supporting Japan, Bessent's incentive to keep Japan from dumping US Treasuries, Japan's plan to tap a COVID-era $60B/day USD swap facility, Iran signaling that Hormuz talks with Oman are entering the final stages after MBS urged Trump to prioritize dialogue, and the market reaction with oil down 5% to the high-$70s/low-$80s, the 10-year at 4.68%, and stocks up 0.5%.Join our live YouTube stream Monday through Friday at 8:30 AM EST:http://www.youtube.com/@TheMorningMarketBriefingPlease see disclosures:https://www.narwhal.com/disclosure
After a volatile week, global markets are starting the new trading session on a stronger footing. Investor sentiment improved overnight following reports that renewed US-Iran talks aimed at easing Middle East tensions could begin as early as today, sending oil prices down more than 5%. Meanwhile, the Japanese yen is emerging as one of the day's standout performers, extending its gains against the US dollar after confirmed intervention efforts by both US and Japanese authorities. In today's episode, Mensur Pocinci, Head of Technical Analysis, shares his latest market insights, examining the technical outlook for the Japanese yen, Asian semiconductor stocks, and US Treasuries, and discussing what these trends could signal for investors in the weeks ahead.(00:00) - Introduction: Jan Bopp, Product & Investment Content (01:18) - Markets wrap-up: Roman Canziani, Head of Product & Investment Content (07:08) - Technical Analysis update: Mensur Pocinci, Head of Technical Analysis Research (09:48) - Closing remarks: Jan Bopp, Product & Investment Content Would you like to support this show?

On this episode of Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu, we dive into the complex and rapidly shifting dynamics of Japan's economy and why the entire world—especially investors—needs to pay close attention. Jeff Snider and guest Andre Jik unpack the unraveling of Japan's legendary economic resilience, explaining how decades of low interest rates created a global liquidity engine now threatening to go into reverse. The conversation explores the cascading impact of Japan's monetary moves, from the yen carry trade to the unprecedented pressures forcing Japanese wealth to return home. We break down the psychology driving economic decisions, the looming possibility of authoritarian interventions, and why changes in Japan's bond and currency markets could send shockwaves through everything from US Treasuries to your own retirement account. Whether you're a market watcher or just trying to understand how faraway headlines can hit your wallet, this episode builds a mental map for navigating one of the most important—and misunderstood—economic stories of our time.Quince: Free shipping and 365-day returns at https://quince.com/impactpodWhatnot: Download the Whatnot app today and get free shipping on your first order.ATT Business: Switch to AT&T Business at business.att.comEthos: Get a free quote at https://ethos.com/impactSurfshark: Go to https://surfshark.com/bilyeu or use code BILYEU at checkout to get 4 extra months of Surfshark!Ketone IQ: Visit https://ketone.com/IMPACT for 30% OFF your subscription orderIncogni: Take your personal data back with Incogni!

In this week's Live from the Vault, Andrew Maguire explores reports on how gold has overtaken US Treasuries as the world's top reserve asset, as central banks lose trust in dollar-based systems and accelerate repatriation of their sovereign assets.With Fort Knox back under scrutiny following the launch of the Hong Kong SGE gold link, the precious metals expert reveals why a full audit of US gold reserves is imminent, while the gold revaluation process has already begun.

The yen just hit a 40-year low and Japan is trapped. Whether they hike or freeze, it ends the same way: the pin that pricks our bubble.Tonight's episode is sponsored by NetSuite.

Download their 11th Annual State of Smart Manufacturing Report at https://rok.auto/sosmInvestors are far too complacent about risks that are now hiding in plain sight. The AI trade cracked this week: Alphabet fell 10% after announcing even higher CapEx, Oracle is down 41% on the year, Meta and Amazon fell, and Microsoft is nearly in a bear market. SpaceX now trades 49% below its post-IPO high with its float set to jump from 5% to 40% by year end, and Tesla dropped 18%, costing Elon Musk nearly $100 billion in a week. Peter Schiff compares the roughly three-quarters of a trillion dollars in annual AI CapEx to the dot-com build-out, where the early favorites went bankrupt and took their vendors down with them.The bigger danger is Japan. The yen fell to a 40-year low against the dollar, the 30-year JGB yield hit an all-time high near 4%, and with debt above 200% of GDP and a policy rate still at just 1%, Japan is trapped. Whether the Bank of Japan finally hikes aggressively or stays timid, the result spills into the United States, potentially forcing the world's largest holder of US Treasuries to dump its $1.1 trillion position. Schiff calls Japan the pin that pricks the far bigger US bubble. Meanwhile the US 30-year yield hit a 20-year high of 5.16% on more than four times the debt of 2006, oil is up 30% in July guaranteeing a hotter CPI, and gold rose on the week even as bonds and stocks fell, with the miners signaling a bottom. He closes on why record-low jobless claims are meaningless in a gig economy and why Trump's new slave-labor tariffs are an unconstitutional tax on Americans.Chapters:00:00 Japan Sparks US Crisis00:41 AI CapEx Reality Check07:51 AI Bubble Parallels13:03 Gold Miners Rebound19:17 Oil Bonds Warning Signs32:16 Japan Debt Rate Trap34:36 Weak Yen Trade Deficits37:22 Japan Creditor Status Slips41:22 Two Japan Crisis Paths44:26 US Vulnerability Dominoes45:21 Unemployment Claims Hype47:20 Why Claims Mislead51:37 New Tariffs Legal Workaround59:03 Wrap Up Subscribe CallFollow @peterschiffX: https://twitter.com/peterschiffInstagram: https://instagram.com/peterschiffTikTok: https://tiktok.com/@peterschiffofficialFacebook: https://facebook.com/peterschiff#PeterSchiffShow #gold #inflationOur Sponsors:* Check out Chilipad and use my code GOLD for a great deal: https://sleep.me* Check out Fast Growing Trees and use my code GOLD for a great deal: https://www.fast-growing-trees.com* Check out Plaud AI and use my code GOLD for a great deal: https://plaud.ai* Check out Quince and use my code quince.com/gold for a great deal: https://www.quince.com* Check out TruDiagnostic and use my code GOLD20 for a great deal: https://www.trudiagnostic.comPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Gold could be heading to $10,000 as central banks move away from US Treasuries and the global monetary system begins repricing hard assets. Scott Bessent just valued America's Fort Knox gold at more than $1 trillion—raising major questions about a gold revaluation, the US dollar, inflation, capital flows and what comes next for Bitcoin.SPONSORS
A month after the year's most hyped listing, nearly everyone who bought SpaceX and held is underwater — and with the 180-day lock-up now gone, Simon Brown explains why insider selling is only getting started. He then tours the week's biggest moves: Apple's copyright lawsuit against OpenAI and what it means for hardware and an IPO, Purple Group buying Telescope AI to strengthen EasyEquities, oil climbing back into the 80s as Middle East peace talks stall, De Beers closing its last South African mine, and Sappi languishing at 1998 levels. He closes on a US 10-year yield near 4.6% and the start of a US earnings season priced for 23–24% EPS growth. Topics: SpaceX, OpenAI, Apple, Purple Group, Telescope AI, Brent oil, De Beers, Sappi, Mpact, US Treasuries, bank earnings. WorldWideMarkets is part of JustOneLap.com.
The inaugural CPAC UK runs from July 16-18 in London. Speakers include the former PM, Nigel Farage, Jacob Rees Mogg and Yours Truly . No Count Binface as far as I'm aware. Flying Frisby readers can get 25% off with this link.A few weeks ago Josh from the Pure Gold Company asked if I'd be interested in recording some long-form interviews. It sounded like a good idea, so at ARC a fortnight ago we sat down and recorded six conversations. Season One, if you like.The focus is not just gold or markets, although they feature prominently. They are about the forces shaping the world: money, debt, geopolitics, technology, energy, incentives. You name it.I'll be running the interviews here on The Flying Frisby, on YouTube via Money Markets & More, and as podcasts on Spotify, Apple Podcasts and the other major platforms.My hope is to make this a regular Sunday feature and, over time, build a library of conversations that remains valuable long after the headlines have faded.I hope you enjoy them.(And if you do enjoy them, please share them and let me know who you'd like me to interview next).To kick things off my first guest is Luke Gromen. Luke has been ahead of the curve on debt, fiscal dominance, the bond market and gold for a long time, and in this conversation he explains the bind facing the Federal Reserve, why markets may no longer be as free as we like to think, and why foreign central banks are buying gold instead of US Treasuries.We also discuss the reindustrialisation of America, why reversing decades of offshoring is likely to be inflationary and why China does not want the yuan to become a straight replacement for the dollar. You can read Luke's letter, the Forest for the Trees, here.My thanks go to Josh, Rachel Eyres, the Pure Gold Company for making these interviews possible. If you live in a third world country such as the UK, I urge you to own gold or silver. The pound will be further devalued, as will the euro and dollar. The bullion dealer I use and recommend is The Pure Gold Company. They deliver to the UK, the US, Canada and Europe. More here.Coming up soon we have* Liv Boeree* Steve Baker* Toby Young* Francis Foster* Toby BaxendaleThis interview was filmed at ARC 2026 in association with The Pure Gold Company.

Gold is currently the number one reserve asset of central banks. It has superseded US Treasuries." – Nomi PrinsAt the Rick Rule conference in Boca Raton, Florida, Daniela Cambone sat down with Nomi Prins, who predicts gold will hit $6,000 by year-end, fueled by central bank buying, algorithm-driven shakeouts, and falling inflation.

Every popular stablecoin — Tether, USDC — is ultimately backed by US Treasuries, which means a handful of entities can freeze, seize, or censor your funds at will. In this conversation, David Seroy of Alpen Labs explains to Bitcoin Magazine's Shinobi why a Bitcoin-backed stablecoin is the credible alternative the space has been missing. They cover the immutable Liquity protocol, Bitcoin ZK rollups, and how to mint a dollar that inherits Bitcoin's security.Grab your copy THE 2036 ISSUE

In this episode of Crazy Wisdom, Stewart Alsop sits down with Akin Kadioglu, cofounder of Bondi Finance, to unpack the wild world of tokenized corporate bonds and what it actually takes to bring traditional finance onto the blockchain. They trace the regulatory maze from Bermuda's segregated accounts structure to the global competition between nation states racing to build the best tokenization frameworks, then widen the lens to cover the Genius Act and stablecoin politics, why America's biggest companies have stopped going public, the techno feudalism reshaping Silicon Valley, China's strategy of copying and scaling rather than innovating, and a deep dive into emerging market bonds, default risk, and why countries like Turkey, Mexico, and Indonesia might be more investable than people assume. Find Akin on Twitter at @kadiogluakin, and check out his work at Bondi Finance, bondifinance.io.Timestamps00:00 Tokenization of corporate bonds and Bermuda's regulatory structure05:00 Global tokenization frameworks and the Genius Act's impact on stablecoins10:00 Anthropic's secondary markets, private capital, and why big companies avoid IPOs15:00 Techno feudalism, Silicon Valley's clergy class, and China's distillation strategy20:00 RISC-V, open source robotics, and the AI monopoly risk25:00 American gridlock, constitutional spirit, and crypto as freedom from centralization30:00 Argentina's 2001 default, dollar pegging, and Milei's deficit cuts35:00 Carry trades, US treasury rates, and inflation in emerging economies40:00 Sovereign versus corporate bonds and tokenization's $38 trillion opportunity45:00 Investment grade versus junk bonds and zero default risk explained50:00 Bond credit ratings, Yankee and Samurai bonds, and top emerging market picksKey InsightsTokenization's biggest obstacle isn't technology, it's sovereignty. Akin argues that nation states resist giving tokenized assets the same ownership rights as traditional securities because they're hesitant to cede authority to neutral blockchains, even when the underlying infrastructure already works.The Genius Act protected banks more than it empowered crypto. By separating yield bearing stablecoins from non yield bearing ones, regulators effectively let banks keep customers from earning interest outside traditional savings accounts, a quiet but consequential win for legacy finance.America's biggest companies are opting out of public markets. Stripe, Anthropic, OpenAI, and SpaceX have stayed private far longer than past generations of breakout companies, raising real questions about whether venture capital has replaced the public markets that once defined American finance.Silicon Valley's elite increasingly resemble a modern clergy. Akin frames the founders and labs that gatekeep advanced AI knowledge as inheritors of a medieval power structure, where access to "secret knowledge" converts directly into capital and influence over everyone else.China wins by scaling, not innovating. Rather than leading at the frontier, China consistently lets American labs take the first step, then copies and mass produces at a fraction of the cost, a strategy Akin sees playing out in everything from manufacturing to AI models.Not all bonds carry the same kind of risk. Akin draws a sharp distinction between bonds with zero tail risk, like US treasuries denominated in their own currency, and corporate or foreign currency sovereign bonds, where default is always possible no matter how strong the issuer looks.Emerging market ratings can be misleading. A BB rated company in an emerging market may have a lower default rate than a BBB rated US company, since emerging market firms typically need far more financial maturity just to access public bond markets in the first place.

The economy is not crashing. It is freezing. In this episode of The Higher Standard, Chris and Saied break down the Fed's Beige Book, a bifurcated consumer, sticky inflation, margin-squeezed businesses, and a labor market that has become low-hire, low-fire. Then the conversation turns to the real insanity: Treasury buybacks, Bitcoin liquidations, Ethereum weakness, gold replacing U.S. Treasuries as the world's top reserve asset, and SpaceX preparing for a historic IPO at a $1.77 trillion valuation. The question is simple: are we watching the next great technological leap forward, or the biggest liquidity-driven rug pull of all time?
Savage speaks with Shannon Davis, CEO of American Alternative Assets, about retirement savings trapped inside a collapsing debt system. They discuss why gold and silver remain outside the printing presses, the pressure from America's $39 trillion debt, and how rising bond rates hit regular families through mortgages, credit cards, car loans, and inflation. Davis explains why retirement accounts may not be truly diversified if everything is still tied to the dollar, and Savage warns about runaway spending, currency revaluation, and the dangers of trusting banks with your financial future.

This mega bubble may explode soon! Find out what it is as we talk growing market uncertainty driven by rising interest rates, inflation concerns, and global conflict, while warning investors about the risks developing in the bond market and increasingly narrow stock market leadership. We explore how higher Treasury yields, stubborn inflation, housing weakness, and mounting global debt pressures could impact both stocks and bonds, while also breaking down why investors should remain cautious despite strong performance in select sectors like semiconductors and AI. We cover consumer stress, leverage building in the markets, Japan's bond challenges, concerns surrounding global liquidity, and the importance of avoiding emotional reactions to sensational economic "chart crimes" and extreme market predictions. Today we discuss... Why rising Treasury yields and bond market volatility are becoming a major concern for investors. Inverted versus normal yield curves and what they signal about the economy and lending conditions. How higher oil prices and ongoing geopolitical conflict could keep inflation elevated. Concerns that higher interest rates could pressure both stocks and bonds at the same time. Why traditional diversification strategies are struggling in today's correlated market environment. How a small group of semiconductor and AI stocks are driving most of the stock market gains. The growing stress facing consumers from inflation, mortgage rates, and rising debt burdens. Weakness in the housing market and the impact of high mortgage rates on affordability. Concerns about China reducing its holdings of US Treasuries and the implications for bond markets. Japan's rising bond yields and the risks tied to global debt and liquidity markets. Whether current inflation trends could resemble the inflationary environment of the 1970s. Why many alarming economic charts online can be misleading "chart crimes" driven by correlation rather than causation. How government stimulus during COVID contributed to inflation by increasing consumer spending power. How inflation impacts everyday expenses like healthcare, childcare, education, and housing more than electronics or technology. Growing leverage and speculative behavior in global markets as investors chase returns. The role of the US dollar as a macroeconomic pressure gauge rather than a simple trading indicator. Why investors should stay cautious, avoid emotional reactions, and focus on risk management during uncertain market conditions.
