Asian equities were mixed Thursday after a rally on Wall Street drove stocks and bonds higher, as a drop in producer prices supported bets the Federal Reserve will resume cutting interest rates next week. An index of the dollar was little changed while the yen strengthened against the greenback early Thursday. The Wednesday moves in the US reflected fresh optimism that the Fed will cut rates next week after producer prices unexpectedly declined for the first time in four months. The data soothed worries that elevated inflation would create a challenge for policymakers trying prevent a jobs downturn ahead of US inflation figures due later Thursday. We get the views of Eric Fine, Portfolio Manager & Head of Active EM Debt at VanEck. Plus - UBS Group CEO Sergio Ermotti says the impact of global tariffs on the US economy and Federal Reserve monetary policy remains unclear. He made the comments ahead of the annual UBS Disruptive Technology CEO Summit in Hong Kong, which gets underway today. Ermotti speaks exclusively with Bloomberg's David Ingles in Bloomberg's Hong Kong bureau.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week, we discuss all the growing list of weaker labor market data after August NFP showed just 22K jobs added. We also debate whether the Fed will have room to cut 50bps in September while stagflation rears its head, the potential implications if tariffs are overturned, and whether it's time to be concerned about liquidity and Fed plumbing. Ultimately, everything leads us to one asset.

De MSCI Emerging Markets Index zit al meer dan een half jaar in de lift. Het is dan ook een ontwikkeling waar beide experts in deze aflevering van BeursTalk op aanslaan. Marc Langeveld van het Antaurus AI Tech Fund legt uit: "De dollar daalt in waarde, niet alleen ten opzichte van de euro, maar wordt ook goedkoper voor opkomende landen. Dat houdt de inflatie daar onder controle." Marc kijkt dan ook met interesse naar techbedrijven in Azië, maar ook in Latijns-Amerika. Koen Bender van Mercurius Vermogensbeheer is eveneens positief, ook vanuit het oogpunt van risicospreiding. "Wij hebben altijd al Emerging Markets in portefeuille gehad voor onze klanten. Dat hoort thuis in een goed gespreide portfolio. Je compenseert er ook de pijn van de zwakke dollar enigszins mee." Wat betreft het sentiment zijn beide experts voorzichtig. Naast de prestaties van bedrijven moet je tegenwoordig de geopolitieke ontwikkelingen ook goed in de gaten houden, het wordt complexer. Dat maakt het dan ook lastig, vinden Marc en Koen, om in dit klimaat harde uitspraken te doen over de ontwikkeling op de beurzen. Verder bespreken we in de podcast onder andere de cijfers van CVC Capital en Saleforce en de aanstaande beursgang van fintechbedrijf Klarna. Uiteraard bespreken we de luisteraarsvragen en geven de experts hun tips. Marc kiest een Amerikaans techbedrijf, Koen tipt een Japans concern. Geniet van de podcast!

VanEck ETF’s (advertorial) Deze week is ook weer het tweewekelijks gesprek te beluisteren met Martijn Rozemuller, ceo van VanEckETF’s, de partner van BeursTalk. Met Martijn bespreek ik deze week de ontwikkelingen op de energiemarkt en wat dat betekent voor beleggers in ETF's. Aan de ene kant moeten we omschakelen, tegelijkertijd zien we de vraag naar olie en gas nog steeds toenemen. VanEck heeft geen ETF die direct in oliemaatschappijen investeert, maar toch kun je bij VanEck terecht als op de toenemende vraag wilt inspelen. De VanEck Oil Services ETF belegt, de naam zegt het al, bedrijven die diensten verlenen aan de oliesector. Bij een toenemende vraag naar olie, profiteren die bedrijven er ook van. Uiteraard zullen de fossiele bronnen over een aantal decennia uitgeput raken. Vandaar de aandacht, ook van beleggers, voor alternatieve energiebronnen. Martijn legt uit dat VanEck ook voor die transitie klaar is. Zo kun je nu al beleggen in de VanEck Hydrogen Economy ETF en de VanEck Uranium and Nuclear Technologies ETF. Martijn vertelt je de ins en outs van beide producten. Geniet van de podcast!

In this episode, Ben Kizemchuk joins the show to discuss his “Four Fs” macro framework – Fiscal Dominance, Financial Repression, Fiat Currency, & Passive Flows – arguing that we're in a unique historical moment where all four are converging at once. He explains how fiscal spending reshapes growth, why financial repression and passive flows stabilize markets, and how fiat currency enables this entire regime. Ben also shares how these dynamics blur the line between the stock market and the economy, setting the stage for an AI-driven future.

Nicholas Frasse celebrates VanEck's Fabless Semiconductor ETF's (SMHX) first anniversary. He explains the strategy behind choosing semiconductor companies that design but don't manufacture their own chips. He argues that these types of companies are the future of the industry. Top holdings include Nvidia (NVDA), Broadcom (AVGO), and AMD (AMD). All are U.S. listed but can be global companies; the fund is up 20% year-to-date.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

This week, we break down the seasonal market pivot around Labor Day, how systematic strategies dominate price action, and why inflation and economic re-acceleration could make a September rate cut a policy mistake. We also dive into the shift from capital to labor, growing government intervention in markets, parallels between AI CapEx and past gold cycles, the potential rotation from large-caps into small caps, and the state of treasury companies.

Er is al best wel wat goed nieuws ingeprijsd, maar toch: de vooruitzichten voor de beurs zijn nog steeds goed. "Het lijkt erop dat er beweging zit in het vredesoverleg tussen Rusland en Oekraïne", stelt Olaf van den Heuvel van Achmea Investment Management. "Daarnaast zie ik de Europese vertrouwensindicatoren aansterken. Natuurlijk krijgen we nog de impact van de handlestarieven, maar er is ontzettend veel geld in de markt en dat legt toch een bodem onder koersen." Han Dieperink van Auréus Vermogensbeheer is eveneens positief. "Ik denk zelfs dat we de piek in die handelstarieven al achter de rug hebben. De angst voor stagflatie valt achteraf wel mee en de winstcijfers zijn verrassend goed. Nog beter dan in de gouden jaren negentig." Verder bespreken we enthousiasme van Nederlandse beleggers voor defensieaandelen. Sinds begin 2023 is die bijna vertienvoudigd naar 832 miljoen euro, waarbij Rheinmetall veruit favoriet is bij beleggers. Han en Olaf geven hun mening daarover, is dat verstandig of juist niet? Verder in de podcast onder andere aandacht voor de cijfers van ASR, Aegon en Baidu. Uiteraard bespreken we de luisteraarsvragen en geven de experts hun tip. Han gaat voor een Nederlands bedrijf in de AEX, Olaf tipt een groot Duits industrieel concern. Geniet van de podcast! Let op: alleen het eerste deel is vrij te beluisteren.

VanEck ETF’s (advertorial) Deze week is ook weer het tweewekelijks gesprek te beluisteren met Martijn Rozemuller, ceo van VanEckETF’s, de partner van BeursTalk. Met Martijn bespreek ik deze week een bijzondere ETF, de VanEck Video Gaming and eSports ETF. Er zijn wellicht niet veel ETF's die zich op dit thema richten en Martijn legt uit waarom hij deze ETF naar Nederland heeft gehaald. VanEck had deze ETF al op de Amerikaanse markt, maar in de zomer van 2019 heeft Martijn de ETF ook in Europa geïntroduceerd. Hoewel het aan de ene kant een nichemarkt is, is het ook weer niet zo gek om zo'n ETF te starten: er gaat in gaming en eSports inmiddels meer geld om dan in de filmindustrie in Hollywood. Er wordt ook goed geld in verdiend, wat het voor beleggers weer interessant maakt. De ETF laat de laatste twee jaar een hele sterke groei zien en inmiddels zit er voor meer dan 900 miljoen dollar in het fonds. Natuurlijk is dat geen garantie voor de toekomst en het is ook maar net naar welk deel van de koersgrafiek je kijkt, maar het geeft aan dat veel beleggers een graantje willen meepikken van deze sector. Luister vooral naar Martijns uitleg over de ETF. Geniet van de podcast!

The infrastructure for crypto-native finance is maturing beyond proof-of-concepts into real financial products. Tokenized securities are moving from experimental pilots to regulated offerings, stablecoin infrastructure is becoming the backbone for 24/7 payment systems, and traditional fintech companies are quietly integrating crypto rails to improve settlement and unlock new capabilities. I'm joined by Juan Lopez, General Partner at VanEck Ventures, where he focuses on investments at the intersection of traditional finance and blockchain technology. Before joining VanEck, Juan was at Circle Ventures, giving him a front-row seat to how institutional-grade crypto infrastructure has developed. His portfolio includes companies building the regulated infrastructure enabling this shift from experimental to operational. Juan's perspective on where real value is being created—from tokenized equity platforms achieving regulatory approval to stablecoin routing systems—offers insight into how crypto infrastructure is becoming essential plumbing for modern financial services. We'll discuss what's driving adoption, where the next wave of exits will come from, and how fintech companies are integrating blockchain technology to improve their core business models.

In this episode, Founder & CIO of Damped Spring Andy Constan breaks down the three major macro levers shaping markets right now: a cautious Fed at a leadership crossroads, a Treasury issuing cold water via its QRA policy, and a fiscal impulse that looks contractionary once tariffs are factored in. He argues that while markets may be riding “run it hot” narratives, the data suggests we're already slowing.

In this episode, PhD Economist Jens Nordvig breaks down the evolving macro environment marked by waning Fed independence, shifting capital flows, and a weakening U.S. dollar. He explains how tariff shocks, long-end bond dynamics, and geopolitical tensions are reshaping global investment behavior and challenging the traditional safe-haven role of U.S. assets. Jens also outlines the structural phases of de-dollarization, central bank reserve diversification, and how these factors may signal a long-term dollar downtrend.

We discuss fiscal dominance, bond market dysfunction, yield curve control, and why crypto—especially ETH—is gaining traction as the new high-yield frontier. We also cover risk scenarios like Japan yield shocks, Powell's potential firing, rising inflation swaps, and how private equity and crypto are being funneled into 401(k)s to keep the system afloat.

In this episode, Senior Research Fellow at Mercatus Center and host of Macro Musings David Beckworth breaks down the rising risks of fiscal dominance—when the Fed prioritizes government solvency over price stability. He explains the historical context of fiscal dominance, the warning signs we're seeing today, and why current debt levels, persistent deficits, and political gridlock are pushing us closer to stage three. Beckworth also dives into the mechanics of stablecoins, the Treasury's issuance strategy, and potential reforms to the Fed's operating system, including balance sheet management and NGDP targeting. He warns that without serious structural change, the Fed's independence and credibility may be at risk.

Marcin - Co-founder and GTM lead at Redstone, crypto veteran since 2017 with background in quantitative economics. Previously worked at Google Cloud before founding Redstone in 2020.The Oracle Infrastructure RevolutionRedstone's Modular Architecture Redstone built a fundamentally different oracle system designed for scalability from day one. Unlike traditional models that were difficult to scale across networks and assets, Redstone uses a modular architecture with four modules—keeping three off-chain to minimize integration complexity. This design enables rapid deployment across new blockchains and virtual machines.Multi-Chain Pioneer* First oracle on many non-EVM networks including TON (Telegram), Starknet, and Fuel VM* Strategic expansion philosophy: "Go where people want us, not where we force ourselves"* 75% of company are engineers, maintaining 100% reliability with zero mispricing incidentsWhy Solana, Why NowPerfect Timing Convergence Redstone's Solana launch aligned with a critical market moment. Their partnership with Securitize to serve major tokenized funds (BlackRock BUIDL, VanEck, Apollo, etc.) coincided with Solana's emerging RWA momentum through protocols like Camino, Drift, and Jupiter.Foundation Support Meeting Lily (Solana Foundation director) at Binance Blockchain Week in Dubai catalyzed the expansion, providing technical resources and ecosystem connections for smooth integration.Real-World Assets ExplainedTwo Flagship Products* Tokenized Treasury Bills (T-Bills)* Low-risk, yield-bearing government securities* Principle should always appreciate (barring systemic USD issues)* Considered equivalent to cash in accounting (0-3 month bills)* Apollo's Diversified Credit Fund (Tokenized as ACRE)* Private credit outside traditional banking system* Example: Entrepreneur needs $10M for factory railway, banks reject due to complexity* Apollo intermediates: lenders provide capital at 8%, borrowers pay 12%, Apollo manages 4% spread* Involves real risk of default, but diversified across 100-1000 loansAccess Revolution* Traditional minimum: $5-10 million* Tokenized minimum: $50,000 (100x reduction in barrier to entry)* Global accessibility without complex traditional finance onboardingThe Technical Innovation: sACRESecurity vs. Utility Challenge ACRE is a security token, making it non-transferable and unsuitable for DeFi liquidations. Securitize created an elegant solution:* sACRE: Non-security wrapper around ACRE* Enables DeFi integration while maintaining regulatory compliance* Liquidators interact only with sACRE, never touching the underlying security* Vault system allows redemption back to USDC when neededDeFi Use Cases and Looping StrategiesThe Looping Mechanism* Deposit $1M worth of sACRE as collateral* Borrow $500K USDC (50% LTV for safety margin)* Buy more sACRE with borrowed USDC* Repeat process until hitting minimum investment thresholds* Amplify exposure while maintaining liquidation safetyRisk Considerations* Platform risk (Drift/Camino vulnerabilities)* Asset price risk (private credit can decline unlike T-Bills)* Liquidation risk if looped too aggressively* Need for proper risk management and position sizingInstitutional Adoption PathwayBaby Steps Philosophy Unlike crypto's "10x or bust" mentality, institutions take measured approaches:* Current: Basic tokenization and custody* Next: Simple lending and structured products* Future: On-chain hedge funds and complex derivativesBenefits Driving Adoption* Broader Access: Geographic and capital barriers removed* Secondary Liquidity: Instant swaps vs. 90-day redemption periods* DeFi Composability: Integration with lending, looping, structured products* Transparency: On-chain visibility vs. opaque traditional systemsMarket Lessons and Risk ManagementLearning from Terra/Anchor* Size caps prevent systemic overheating* Transparency requirements for risk assessment* Multiple audits and conservative approaches* Recognition that 20% yields were unsustainableCurrent Systemic Risks* Staking derivatives pose the largest potential systemic risk* Liquid staking tokens widely used as collateral across DeFi* Any major exploit could cascade across ecosystemFuture RoadmapImmediate Developments* Additional Solana-native stablecoin feeds* More yield-bearing asset integrations* Jupiter's "Drip/Plant" lending protocol (partnership with Ethereum's Fluid)Long-term Vision* Yield-bearing stablecoins as mass adoption driver* 4-6% yields as the "sweet spot" for user interest* Cross-chain collaborations and composability* Gradual expansion of on-chain institutional productsBuilder Ecosystem* Testing available at app.redstone.finance (Push → Solana)* Open communication channels via Telegram/Discord* Custom data feed development for specific use casesThe Bigger PictureAdoption Paradigm Shift Traditional crypto adoption focused on retail users buying NFTs and meme coins. RWA adoption brings institutional capital seeking familiar products with blockchain benefits—better access, liquidity, and composability.Global Financial Rails Redstone's vision extends beyond individual assets to creating seamless global financial infrastructure. Current traditional systems are siloed by country/region, requiring inefficient bridges. Blockchain technology enables truly global, instantaneous settlement.Competitive Collaboration The Jupiter-Fluid partnership exemplifies healthy ecosystem growth—established players collaborating rather than zero-sum competing, recognizing the early-stage nature of the overall market.
