Helmut Jonen aka Waikiki5800 ist zurück bei echtgeld.tv! Was bewegt einen Investor mit über 40 Jahren Börsenerfahrung dazu, ausgerechnet jetzt bei CK Hutchison, Berkshire Hathaway, Diageo und Nestlé aufzustocken? In seinem Comeback bei echtgeld.tv beleuchtet Helmut Jonen gemeinsam mit Tobias Kramer nicht nur Bewertungs-Chancen, sondern auch politische Risiken – vom US-Wahljahr über China bis zur deutschen Rentenkrise. Und er spricht über Value-Chancen im Depot und wie man in unruhigen Zeiten nachjustiert.

Mit seiner Politik hat US-Präsident Donald Trump im April 2025 simultan zu den Aktien- auch die Anleihenmärkte talwärts geschickt. Michael Weidner, Geschäftsführer und Co-Head of Global Fixed Income bei Lazard Asset Management sieht in der Reaktion der Kapitalmärkte aber noch keinen Vertrauensverluste in US-Treasuries  oder andere US-Staatsanleihen.  Vielmehr habe der Markt eingepreist, dass Zollpolitik zu steigenden Zinsen führen könnte. Entsprechend wurden die Renditen der US-Staatsanleihen dann auch von den Marktteilnehmern nach oben getrieben.Investoren würden weiterhin US-Staatsanleihen als „sicheren Hafen“ betrachten. Schon deshalb, weil es zum Dollar und zu US-Treasuries noch keine Alternativen gäbe, die  den Eckpfeiler der globalen Ökonomie beerben könnten. Michael Weidner: „In Europa wissen wir, fragmentierte Länder, kleinere Länder. Die EU als Ganzes ist zwar mit den USA auf Augenhöhe , aber der Anleihenmarkt ist fragmentierter. Und im asiatischen Raum bietet sich auch kein Pendant. Die einzigen Volkswirtschaften, die aufgrund ihrer größten Frage kämen sind Japan und China. China bietet sich als Handelsland mit Interesse an einem schwachen Renmimbi schon rein faktisch nicht an. Und Japan hat andere Probleme. Da sind wir insbesondere wieder bei derStaatsverschuldung, die noch deutlich höher als die der USA ist.“ Auch auf dem britischen Staatsanleihenmarkt herrsche momentan keine Käuferstimmung, meint Weidner: „Wobei 30-jährige britische Staatanleihen, die momentan ungefähr bei fünfeinhalb Prozent rentieren sicherlich spannend sind. Man muss sich hier nur auch die  Frage der Währungssicherung stellen. “Schweizer Staatsanleihen seien wegen der aktuellen Negativverzinsung wenig interessant. Als „Safe haven“ in Krisenzeiten sei derSchweizer Anleihenmarkt auch zu klein. Bei Euro-Anleihen meidet Michael Wieder französische Staatspapiere aufgrund der hohen Verschuldung von 120 Prozent. Hier seien südländische Staatsanleihen auf der Überholspur: „Spanische Staatsanleihen, insbesondere im mittleren und zehnjährigen Laufzeitenbereich halten wir für attraktiv. Die sind zwar auch recht gut gelaufen, aber die spanische Ökonomie ist mehr oder weniger das Paradebeispiel für eine solide Haushaltspolitik und für ein solides Wachstum über die letzten Jahre hinweg. Auf Augenhöhe sind hier sonst nur noch Griechenland und auf der qualitativ höchsten Seite irische Staatsanleihen. Über Europa hinausblickend, im asiatischen Raum,  finden wir Staatsanleihen aus Neuseeland und Australien derzeit attraktiv.“Wo und mit welchen Wertpapieren durchaus die Möglichkeit besteht auf dem Rentenmarkt noch auskömmliche Renditen auch jenseits der Inflation erzielen zu können hörst Du in der aktuellen Folge der Geldmeisterin.Viel Hörvergnügen wünscht Julia KistnerMusik- & Soundrechte:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.geldmeisterin.com/index.php/musik-und-soundrechte/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Risikohinweis: Dies sind keine Anlageempfehlungen.

Markets are in a positive mood, driven by corporate earnings that are exceeding expectations, and this is despite further 'tariff sabre-rattling' by President Donald Trump, who announced a potential 100% tariff on chips and semiconductors that are not manufactured in the US. Meanwhile, Switzerland has yet to successfully negotiate a reduction in the US tariff of 39%. Yields are slightly higher this morning, partly due to the underwhelming demand in yesterday's auction of new 10-year US Treasuries.

In this episode of Macro Mondays, James Todd, Will Cunliffe, and Edward Hayden-Briffett unpack the week that was in global markets. Markets are reacting to sweeping new trade deals - notably a major US-EU agreement involving zero tariffs and massive energy investments - while weak US and Eurozone PMIs, consolidating precious metals, and rising Japanese yields signal caution. Meanwhile, investors are withdrawing from US Treasuries amid political uncertainty, China's economy is under pressure despite upcoming stimulus, and global attention turns to a packed week of critical economic data releases. 

In this week's podcast, Ivelin Stankov delves into the world of cryptocurrencies exploring the investor implications of growing demand for stablecoins, especially on US Treasuries. Host Julien Lafargue also shares his insights on the recent US trade agreements with Europe and Japan, as well as the strong start to the corporate earnings season.

Luke Gromen: Why The World Is Shunning US Treasuries In Favor Of Gold Every once in a while in life, we're blessed to come across someone who is truly living their path and sharing their gift. And in terms of financial analysis, at the top of my list for a long time has been macro analyst Luke Gromen. Which made it a true honor to have him join us for a conversation, where he laid out in his typically brilliant, yet easy to understand fashion why the world is shunning the US treasury in favor of gold. Luke explains what the Trump administration tried to do, what they're now doing, and what he thinks they're ultimately going to have to do, whether they yet realize it or not. He also explains why we've reached the point where it's no longer easy to push off the consequences of decades of American policy and profligacy, and why some of the shifts we're seeing now are still just getting underway. And of course we also got Luke's thoughts on the silver market too. So if you're invested in gold and silver (or perhaps even more importantly if you're not), then I think you'll be really glad you've seen this call, and click the link to get started watching it now! - To get access to Luke's incredible research at The Forest For The Trees go to: https://fftt-llc.com - Get access to Arcadia's Daily Gold and Silver updates here: https://goldandsilverdaily.substack.com/ - To get your very own 'Silver Chopper Ben' statue go to: https://arcadiaeconomics.com/chopper-ben-landing-page/ - Join our free email list to be notified when a new video comes out: click here: https://arcadiaeconomics.com/email-signup/ - Follow Arcadia Economics on twitter at: https://x.com/ArcadiaEconomic - To get your copy of 'The Big Silver Short' (paperback or audio) go to: https://arcadiaeconomics.com/thebigsilvershort/ - Listen to Arcadia Economics on your favorite Podcast platforms: Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/75OH2PpgUpriBA5mYf5kyY Apple - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/arcadia-economics/id1505398976 - #silver #silverprice #gold And remember to get outside and have some fun every once in a while!:) (URL0VD)Subscribe to Arcadia Economics on Soundwise

Economists and policy advisers have said that it is a strategic necessity for China to further scale back holdings in United States government debt in order to safeguard national financial stability, amid waning confidence in the dollar-based system and persistent geopolitical tensions.经济学家和政策顾问表示，在对以美元为基础的体系的信心减弱和持续的地缘政治紧张局势下，中国进一步缩减对美国政府债务的持有是一种战略必要性，以维护国家金融稳定。To pursue a more balanced, controllable allocation of foreign exchange reserves, the country is also likely to increase investments in non-dollar assets, including financial instruments of its Asian trading partners and crucial resources such as gold, energy and food, they added.他们补充说，为了实现更平衡、更可控的外汇储备分配，中国还可能增加对非美元资产的投资，包括其亚洲贸易伙伴的金融工具以及黄金、能源和粮食等关键资源。Yu Yongding, an academic member of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, called for China to continue reducing US government debt holdings in an orderly manner.中国社会科学院院士余永定呼吁中国继续有序减持美国国债。"The ideal approach would be to increase imports and utilize the excess foreign exchange reserves to purchase high-tech capital goods and strategic materials. This could require China to narrow its trade surplus, move toward a basic balance in the trade of goods and services, or even run a trade deficit for a while."“理想的做法是增加进口，利用多余的外汇储备购买高科技资本货物和战略物资。这可能需要中国缩小贸易顺差，实现商品和服务贸易的基本平衡，甚至在一段时间内出现贸易逆差。”"Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures. We must closely monitor the US fiscal situation and prepare contingency plans to avoid being caught off guard," Yu said.余表示：“非常时期需要非常措施。我们必须密切关注美国财政状况，制定应急计划，避免措手不及。”。After stepping back from being the second-largest holder of US debt to third place in March, China further reduced its holdings of US Treasury securities in May by $900 million, to $756.3 billion, the lowest since February 2009, when the reading was $744.2 billion, according to the US Department of the Treasury.根据美国财政部的数据，中国在3月份从美国债务的第二大持有者退居第三位后，5月份进一步减少了9亿美元的美国国债持有量，至7563亿美元，为2009年2月以来的最低水平，当时该数字为7442亿美元。The reduction bucked the overall rebound of foreign holdings in US debt after a drop in April. Foreign holdings of US Treasury securities increased from April's $9.013 trillion to $9.046 trillion in May, with major US debt holders such as Japan, the United Kingdom and Canada increasing their holdings.这一减少抵消了外国持有的美国债务在4月份下降后的整体反弹。外国持有的美债从4月份的9.013万亿美元增加到5月份的9.046万亿美元，日本、英国和加拿大等主要美国债务持有者增加了持有量。Wang Peng, an associate researcher at the Beijing Academy of Social Sciences, said that China's holding cut in May—the third consecutive month of decrease despite other major holders' increased exposure—stems from a continued effort to optimize the structure of foreign exchange reserves.北京社会科学院副研究员王鹏表示，尽管其他主要持有者的敞口增加，但中国5月份的减持是连续第三个月下降，这源于持续优化外汇储备结构的努力。The aim is to reduce the risks of overreliance on US government debt and limit potential economic losses from geopolitical tensions, including the risk of asset freezes in the event of US sanctions, Wang said, adding that the move also reflects concerns about growing US fiscal deficits and uncertainty about the US economy.王表示，此举的目的是降低过度依赖美国政府债务的风险，并限制地缘政治紧张局势造成的潜在经济损失，包括在美国制裁的情况下冻结资产的风险。他补充说，此举也反映了人们对美国财政赤字不断增长和美国经济不确定性的担忧。Pan Gongsheng, governor of the People's Bank of China, the nation's central bank, has pointed to the risks associated with the US dollar's dominance as the global reserve currency, saying last month that US fiscal and financial regulatory problems could spill over, while the dollar could be weaponized in geopolitical conflicts.中国央行中国人民银行行长潘功胜指出了美元作为全球储备货币的主导地位所带来的风险，他上个月表示，美国的财政和金融监管问题可能会蔓延，而美元可能会在地缘政治冲突中被武器化。Guan Tao, global chief economist at investment bank BOCI China, said there is no immediate risk of a US sovereign debt crisis, as market demand for US Treasuries remains strong, and US Treasury yields could fall if the US Federal Reserve cuts rates later this year. Bond yields move in the opposite direction of prices.投资银行中银国际中国（BOCI China）全球首席经济学家关涛（Guan Tao）表示，目前没有美国主权债务危机的风险，因为市场对美国国债的需求仍然强劲，如果美联储今年晚些时候降息，美国国债收益率可能会下降。债券收益率与价格走势相反。But the deeper concern, Guan said, is US debt's long-term sustainability. If US government debt keeps expanding without a path to stabilization, it will eventually trigger problems.但关表示，更令人担忧的是美国债务的长期可持续性。如果美国政府债务继续扩大而没有稳定的道路，最终将引发问题。Credit ratings agency Moody's downgraded the US credit rating to Aa1 in May, citing runaway deficits, while the US administration's massive tax-and-spending bill, effective this month, could intensify such concerns, as it is forecast to increase US federal deficits by more than $3 trillion over the next decade.信用评级机构穆迪在5月份将美国信用评级下调至Aa1，理由是赤字失控，而美国政府本月生效的巨额税收和支出法案可能会加剧这种担忧，因为预计未来十年美国联邦赤字将增加3万亿美元以上。Chen Weidong, director of the Research Institute of Bank of China, said, "As the third-largest holder of US Treasuries, China must build a multilayered, systematic strategy to guard against mounting risks tied to US sovereign debt and the dollar-based financial system.中国银行研究院院长陈卫东表示：“作为美国国债的第三大持有者，中国必须建立一个多层次、系统的战略，以防范与美国主权债务和以美元为基础的金融体系相关的日益增长的风险。"This is not only vital for China's financial security, but also has far-reaching implications for the evolution of the global financial order," Chen said, adding that China has cut its US Treasury holdings by over 40 percent since 2013.陈表示：“这不仅对中国的金融安全至关重要，而且对全球金融秩序的演变也有着深远的影响。”他补充说，自2013年以来，中国已将其持有的美国国债减少了40%以上。He said that key priorities for China going forward include gradually reducing US Treasury holdings, optimizing the dollar investment portfolio by allocating more to short-term securities, increasing non-dollar investments, and advancing renminbi internationalization.他说，中国未来的主要优先事项包括逐步减少美国国债持有量，通过将更多资金分配给短期证券来优化美元投资组合，增加非美元投资，以及推进人民币国际化。He also called for deepening financial cooperation within Asia—which together holds over 60 percent of global reserves in dollar-denominated assets—so that Asia can form an internal reserve circulation system and reduce its reliance on external markets.他还呼吁深化亚洲内部的金融合作，亚洲拥有全球60%以上的美元计价资产储备，这样亚洲就可以形成内部储备流通体系，减少对外部市场的依赖。China has been stepping up efforts to diversify its reserve assets. The country's official gold reserves rose for the eighth consecutive month to 73.9 million ounces at the end of June, the State Administration of Foreign Exchange said.中国一直在加紧努力，使其储备资产多样化。国家外汇管理局表示，截至6月底，该国官方黄金储备连续第八个月增长至7390万盎司。consecutiven.连续不断的/kənˈsɛkjʊtɪv/dollar-denominatedn.以美元标价的/ˈdɒlə dɪˈnɒmɪneɪtɪd/

President Donald Trump this week delayed the planned  9 July tariff hikes on US imports, notifying 22 countries that rates could rise as much as 50% on 1 August.The White House had paused these measures for 90 days to pursue trade deals, but since Trump's so-called Liberation Day announcement on 2 April, only three agreements have been reached. ING's Inga Fechner says the new deadline, which Trump has described as firm, but not 100% firm, prolongs the uncertainty for business and consumers around the world. James Knightley says this is weighing on US economic growth - with GDP forecasts for 2025 markedly lower than at the start of the year. For now at least, markets are taking the news in stride, having recovered from the extreme volatility seen in April. But Padhraic Garvey says tariff-induced inflation and worries about fiscal sustainability present a difficult backdrop for US Treasuries.  In this week's THINK aloud, a replay of our live webinar, we look at the future of so-called reciprocal tariffs, potential sector-specific tariffs, the legal uncertainties ahead, the threat of retaliation and the broader impact on the global economy and financial markets.   

In the latest Macro MATTers podcast, Matthew Luzzetti (Chief US Economist) and Matthew Raskin (Head of US Rates Research) discuss recent events moving markets. In this episode, they discuss the June jobs report, takeaways from the June FOMC meeting and subsequent Fedspeak, and a variety of other topics including SLR reform, foreign purchases of US Treasuries, and developments related to trade and fiscal policy.

On today's show we are looking at what the Fed could do that would cause a major increase in demand for US Treasuries. If the demand for Treasuries were to increase, the prices would rise and the market rate for those bonds would fall. The US Treasury would no longer be dependent on the interest rate guidance coming from the Federal Reserve. That could save hundreds of billions per year in interest costs for the US government.--------------**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)  

On today's show we are talking about distorted valuations. When you consider risk, I'm seeing what I can only describe as an atmospheric inversion in today's markets. Wall Street surged toward new record highs on Thursday, as the S&P 500 briefly topped its February 19 closing high of 6,144.15, extending a nearly $10 trillion rally from the brink of a bear market.On today's show I'm going to compare the risk free yield on US Treasuries as a baseline benchmark. In some ways, every other investment could be compared to that benchmark. I'm not going to get into the debate whether the US is going to default on its debt in the next decade or not. For the purpose of today's discussion let's take it as a given that the US will meet its debt obligations even if that means expanding the annual deficit and the global debt. We know that will eventually break down, but let's accept the US Treasury as a foundation for now. The reason I'm proposing that is that the reference for all of these investment returns is the US dollar. If the dollar is in question, then the value of all the other investments that a dollar denominated could be called into question as well. That includes Nvidia, Amazon, Walmart, United Airlines and so on. So let's call the risk free rate of return the yield on the US 10 year treasury. Today the market opened at 4.25%, pretty much in lock step with the Fed Funds rate. So whether you buy a 30 T-bill or a 10 year bond, your risk free rate of return today is at 4.25%.The argument is that if another investment is offering a lower yield, then it is somehow a better investment than the risk free rate of return. Does that make sense that the S&P 500 index would be more expensive than the risk free rate of return? --------------**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)  

Long-dated US Treasuries, the most popular go to assets in times of uncertainty, have done a disappointing job this year of dampening volatility in portfolios. So what might you favour instead? Fund managers Mike Riddell and Tim Foster join Seb Morton-Clark and Katie Roberts to discuss what investors need to consider when they're looking for the bonds that can shore up their allocations. And analyst Andressa Tezine explains why 2025 might be the year for emerging markets and where to look for yield.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this week's podcast, I break down 5 great questions we have either fielded directly in our practice, or have observed in the marketplace from retirees/near retirees.  Shoutout to Roberto for this concept, and if it goes well, we'll be doing these every 4-5 episodes!  In this edition, the 5 questions we'll tackle are:

We are joined in our latest edition of BM Talks by Rachel Ziemba, founder of Ziemba Insights. She is an expert in sanctions and trade policy with a focus on oil markets in the Middle East. Her substack has the ever-more relevant name of "Weaponized Economy".     We asked: What happens to the oil price given the Iran/Israel conflict?What will be the response of the GCC countries and China?How will Trump's trade policies affect GDP? Can sanctions ever really work? Would China dump US Treasuries? Will Russia come back into the fold? Is Trump the strongest strongman?

Oil prices are surging up to 10%, while equity futures are declining. Safe-haven assets like gold and US Treasuries are gaining traction. Overall, the initial market reaction to the escalation of hostilities in the Middle East is relatively contained, except for oil, as the situation remains fluid and uncertain. Dario Messi, Head of Fixed Income Research, talks about what to expect from the US, UK, Japanese, and Swiss central banks next week. Tim Gagie, Head of FX/PM Private Banking Geneva, discusses the Middle East crisis and its potential short-term impact on the US dollar, which is close to a multi-year low, and gold, which is approaching its all-time high.

ClearBridge Investments' Jeff Schulze reviews the two indicator upgrades on the Recession Risk Dashboard and shares his views on tariffs, US Treasuries, and why equity markets may see some choppiness over the next few months.

America’s debt burden and interest expense have become “untenable,” and that means long-term US Treasury bonds are no longer seen as legitimate risk-free investments, said DoubleLine Capital’s Jeffrey Gundlach. He is joined by Bloomberg's Lisa Abramowicz.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The economic impact of US President Donald Trump’s tariffs has led to a rethink over the US dollar. After the “Liberation Day” tariffs were announced on April 2, global investors sold both US equities and the dollar, a rare event that raises concerns about the credibility of US Treasuries and the dollar itself. Moody’s downgrade of the US credit rating and the sharp appreciation of certain currencies, particularly the Taiwan dollar, against the greenback have further intensified the situation. Are we entering a period of de-dollarization? What are the implications for the regions' central banks, corporations and financial institutions – many of which are major holders of US Treasuries? And which Asian currencies could outperform following this paradigm shift? Stephen Chiu, chief Asia FX and rates strategist for Bloomberg Intelligence discusses these issues with John Lee on the Asia Centric podcast.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Schiff discusses the significant rise in gold prices, which closed at its highest weekly price ever, while other precious metals like silver and platinum also saw a notable increase. He highlights the decline of the US dollar and reveals the consequences of tariff policies, emphasizing the need for listeners to consider precious metals and foreign equities as a hedge against impending economic challenges. Schiff also examines the Fitch downgrade of US government credit, linking it to unsustainable fiscal policies under both Trump and Biden administrations. Additionally, he scrutinizes the political and economic conflicts surrounding tariffs, privatization of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and personal financial gains made by Trump during his presidency.

Today, we ask whether too many have gotten too bearish on US treasuries, the one asset nearly everyone agrees no on should own. If so, US treasuries could be in for quite a painful squeeze ahead of a long US holiday weekend that would inevitably have interesting repercussions across markets, not least for the US dollar and gold. This and much more on today's pod, which is hosted by Saxo Global Head of Macro Strategy John J. Hardy. John's latest FX Update.

On today's show we are talking about the risk premium being attached to US sovereign debt and how this has the potential to destabilize real estate markets for all US investors. We are accustomed to thinking that the Fed sets the interest rate. But the truth is that the Fed only sets one interest rate. That is the Fed Funds rate that banks use to lend to each other. The downgrade of the US debt by Moody's debt rating agency last Friday was a reflection of the government's persistent failure to adopt measures that would “reverse the trend of large annual fiscal deficits and growing interest costs.” Moody's was the third bond rating agency to downgrade the US sovereign debt after S&P and Fitch downgraded the US debt in August of 2023. It's not the downgrade per se that is the problem. The market makes its own determination and does not just look at what the bond rating agencies have to say.Spending is heading higher, regardless of who is in the White House. The demographic impact on entitlement programs is unavoidable. The population is aging and when the social security program was launched, there were 16.5 people in the workforce for every one person collecting benefits. Today there are 2.71 people in the workforce for every one person collecting benefits. By the mid 2030's, that number is expected to fall to 2.3 people working for every one person collecting. The math doesn't fund the liabilities. The current White House was elected on the promise of the economy and of fiscal responsibility. The latest budget bill that had wound its way through the Congress shows an increase in spending and a widening budget deficit. Despite desires to cut government waste and abuse, the impact seems somewhat muted. The bond market is clearly seeing significant risk to the ballooning US sovereign debt. This week's auction in new US Treasuries did not go well. The appetite for new paper from the US government was muted and the price that was bid for the 30 year was so low that the yield on the 30 year is now above 5%. The 30 year Treasury is a long denomination bond and its yield moves very slowly. To have the price for that bond drop so sharply in a matter of days has definitely rattled markets. ------------**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)  

BRICS/China Sell US Treasuries Big Pre-Summit... As the trade war continues on, there's also a BRICS Summit coming up. Which creates an interesting dynamic in how Trump has threatened to shut out any countries who de-dollarize, yet also there's also more need to de-dollarize than ever. So how are they responding?

USD overweight exposure is now normalizing Even as equities have rallied substantially from April lows, recovery in the dollar index, or DXY, has underwhelmed and the currency sits near the lowest level it's been in three years. Alex Cohen believes that while there are cyclical reasons for the dollar weakness, there's also been a bigger structural rethink on the currency by investors from the push toward de-globalization and from questions around US exceptionalism. Alex sees German fiscal reforms as a game changer, another dollar negative. But our own survey shows very negative sentiment for the dollar, which is relevant to the short term. Mark Cabana contributes with a discussion of rates given the important interplay between the Treasuries and currencies. Mark believes that there has been a shift away from US Treasuries by global investors, although a lot of this recent shift is a function of investors reducing their overweight position rather than getting outright negative. Mark also discusses debt sustainability concerns and how budget negotiations may impact bonds going forward.

On today's show we are looking at an event in financial markets that could represent a tipping point. These events have occurred with regularity over the years. Think of the Greek Sovereign debt crisis in 2012 that threatened to topple the entire European banking system. Think of Lehman Brothers in 2008. There was the bank failures in the US in 2023. These events often expose the counter party risk that is inherent in our globally interconnected financial system. The problem is showing up in the latest spike in US Treasury yields. It happened very rapidly between May 1 and May 2 of last week. Now we have become accustomed to very high volatility in US Treasury yields. Most of that is routinely blamed on the unpredictable nature of the White House.But this one was different. There was no news from the White House that fundamentally would affect Treasury yields. The threat to impose tariffs on foreign movies is not enough to move the needle. So who is dumping US Treasuries? What happened at the same time as the spike in US Treasury yields was a precipitous drop in the Taiwanese dollar against the US dollar. So who in Taiwan is dumping Treasuries? It turns out that Taiwanese life insurance companies had loaded up on US Treasuries and failed to purchase a hedge against interest rate volatility.  Why did they not buy insurance? They thought the insurance was too expensive. The liberation day announcement from Donald Trump had been pending for weeks. It was making front page headlines around the world, and still the risk managers at these Taiwanese insurance companies thought that they would take the risk and not buy the insurance. The high price of the insurance was a reflection of the elevated risk.---------------**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)  

Japan Opens Door To Selling US Treasuries As the trade war carries on, tensions remain with China, Trump has now raised the possibility of additional banking sanctions on Russia, and now Japan, a US ally, and the other largest holder of US treasuries along with China, has opened the door to the possibility of selling. Which is the kind of statement that was once unheard of. But is increasingly becoming more common as the shift from Treasuries to gold continues.

Underperformance of US Treasuries and the dollar during recent market turmoil begs the question of whether the safe haven status of the US, long taken for granted, will be as easily conferred in future times of trouble. Following the imposition of larger than expected tariffs on US trade partners, It served as a warning that US assets and the currency might require higher risk premia than previously appreciated. Mark Rosenberg, in his capacity as co-founder and CEO of GeoQuant, has considered and articulated exactly these risks as part of his work over recent years. He joins the podcast to discuss the trends in US political risk and the strength of its institutions, translating how they compare to other developed and emerging economies and whether further accounting for these risks in market pricing is warranted.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

US Treasuries and equities staged a strong comeback last week after US President Donald Trump appeared to strike a conciliatory tone on Fed Chair Jerome Powell and on the tariff deadlock with China. However, several US manufacturing activity indicators point to renewed contraction in regional manufacturing activities, and polls conducted by ABC News and The Washington Post revealed that 64% of respondents disapprove of the Trump tariffs, and 7 in 10 believe that the tariffs will lead to higher inflation.Against this backdrop, Julius Baer now expects two 50 bps rate cuts for the US, and have raised its recession probability to 50% from 35% for the next 12 months.This episode is presented by Magdalene Teo, Head of Fixed Income Research Asia at Julius Baer.

Markets shook after US President Donald Trump announced his so-called reciprocal tariffs earlier this month. But there was one market in particular that got investors particularly worried: Treasuries. What's usually a safe haven asset suddenly saw huge sell-offs. Trump managed to avoid further pain by pausing large chunks of his tariffs, but the sell-off prompts a discussion about significant structural flaws in the market.

Today's show discusses latest events in Trump tariff policies. Not about paying for tax cuts but part of restructuring US empire financing. Why did Trump retreat from pace of tariff implementation? Answer: intense opposition from US multinational corporations to slow down implementation + Japan dumping US Treasuries. Trump launches verbal warning to Powell and Fed to start lowering interest rates, in repeat of 2017 Trump v. Powell conflict (which Trump won). Also, update on Ukraine war negotiations and emerging new Russian offensives. Prediction: US will exit war and Europe assume control. Europe wants to occupy western Ukraine as part of eventual settlement coming this year

The Biden administration approved the project in 2023, with construction beginning last year. The interior secretary accused the former administration of “rush[ing] through its approval without sufficient analysis.” He did not provide further details on potential faults identified. “On day one, [President Donald Trump] called for comprehensive reviews of federal wind projects and wind leasing, and at Interior, we are doing our part to make sure these instructions are followed,” Burgum wrote in a follow-up post.   In response to the pause, New York Gov. Kathy Hochul said the project had already generated roughly 1,000 “good-paying union jobs” and is contributing to the state's economy. “This fully federally permitted project has already put shovels in the ground before the President's executive orders—it's exactly the type of bipartisan energy solution we should be working on,” Hochul wrote in a statement. “As Governor, I will not allow this federal overreach to stand. I will fight this every step of the way to protect union jobs, affordable energy, and New York's economic future.” According to the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science, offshore wind farms “can be damaging to fish and other marine species” due to the noise and vibration from both the construction and operation of the wind turbines. Disturbing the sea floor during construction can also “affect plankton in the water column.” Source: zerohedge.com   https://twitter.com/KobeissiLetter/status/1912952517346070939  According to Apollo, foreigners own a massive $18.5 trillion of US stocks, or 20% of the total US equity market.

IMF issues global economy warning The global economy is expected to grow more slowly this year and face higher inflation, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has said, citing global trade disruptions and rising “protectionism.” Sweeping tariffs imposed by US President Donald Trump, which he says are focused on prioritizing domestic manufacturing and renegotiating trade deals in favor of the US, have caused a sharp rift with trade partners, including the European Union and China.

SEASON 3 EPISODE 117: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:45) SPECIAL COMMENT: Trump has already LOST the tariff wars he finally claimed he paused yesterday (without really pausing). Already. Took him only eight days. From Liberation Day to a day when in any other war, literal or figurative, he would have been deposed - 8 days. And never mind how much YOU AND I think he’s crazy; a high-priced adviser to macro fund managers says “a few have quietly wondered if the president might be insane." And after Wall Street came off the ledge and got back to where it was Monday – only, what, seven trillion lost – he declared victory. “Up 2500 points. Nobody has ever heard of it. Gotta be a record.” Because he can’t admit he made a mistake; his head would fall off. His approval numbers have cratered. He’s underwater by an AVERAGE of six points. LAST Wednesday it was an average of TWO points. Since the election he’s lost 20 points among those over age 65; he’s lost 50 points among those under age 30. And he still raised the tariffs on the Chinese again – to 125 percent – because he’s mad at them. Because they of course are winning. Because the Chinese are not negotiating; the Chinese are as they have been for centuries, waiting for their opponents to DIE. The Chinese are apparently dumping our 10-Year Treasuries, driving up our debt. And they’ve opened trading partnership negotiations with the head of the European Union. And for all the claims about pausing the tariffs, a universal TEN percent tariff will be maintained. He didn't pause anything. He simply lost everything. B-Block (27:10) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Joe Manchin writes a book celebrating his middle of the road bona fides. The cover photo shows only the right half of his face, naturally. Marjorie Stupid Greene reveals she does not know what the word "Merch" means. And the president of the hockey writers' association, a bonehead named Frank Seravalli, not only defends Wayne Gretzky's attacks on Canada but his bringing FBI Director and Election Denier Kash Patel to the Ovechkin game - and calls CRITICISM of those decisions "political BS." Instead of, maybe, calling out Gretzky for BRINGING political BS into a moment of sports history. C-Block (49:15) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: She's still at it. Even as Trump's boasts of pausing the tariffs while INCREASING them on China and maintaining them on everybody else, Laura Ingraham is still carrying his water for him.
