Podcasts about Volatility

Tariffs promise protection but unleash deeper shocks - reshaping demand, distorting prices, and testing the resilience of an already-strained economic system. Rob Larity and Jacob unpack the widening gap between political narratives and material reality, probing how erratic policy, volatile markets, and institutional guardrails collide. They ask whether the U.S. is entering a new era of economic fragility, what signals truly matter beneath the noise, and how global outliers like Chile reveal the stakes of navigating a fractured, multipolar world.--Timestamps:(00:00) - Introduction (01:46) - Discussion on San Francisco Fed Paper(05:14) - Historical Context of Tariffs(14:11) - Mechanics and Impact of Tariffs(18:26) - Political and Economic Realities(26:22) - Market Reactions and Volatility(30:03) - Election Aftermath and Voter Priorities(30:59) - Moderation and Economic Focus in Politics(31:58) - Scott Bessent and the Trump Administration(36:43) - US Institutions and Economic Policies(40:37) - Chile's Political Landscape and Economic Potential(48:29) - Global Energy Dynamics and Future Outlook(01:01:08) - Conclusion and Final Thoughts--Referenced in the Show:--Jacob Shapiro Site: jacobshapiro.comJacob Shapiro LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/jacob-l-s-a9337416Jacob Twitter: x.com/JacobShapJacob Shapiro Substack: jashap.substack.com/subscribe --The Jacob Shapiro Show is produced and edited by Audiographies LLC.

In this new episode of Inside the Markets from GMS Podcasts, host Jamie Dalzell is joined in Athens by Ilias Stasinos of GMS Greece to break down the latest trends in the ship recycling market as 2025 comes to a close. Together, they look at how global freight rates, weaker currencies in the subcontinent, and softer scrap steel prices are shaping ship recycling decisions for Greek owners and recyclers in India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, and Turkey. Despite geopolitical risk, currency pressure, and uneven local steel markets, most Greek shipowners remain in trading mode, keeping even late twenties vessels in service while they wait for clearer price signals. Jamie and Ilias discuss why HKC compliant yards in India and Bangladesh still dominate decisions for listed and reputation sensitive owners, what is holding Pakistan back despite competitive indications, and how Turkey is maintaining its niche role for EU flagged tonnage. This episode offers concise, real time intelligence for anyone following ship recycling, green recycling, dry bulk, and demolition markets, with a particular focus on the role of currencies, compliance, and sentiment in setting the next move. Key Highlights Current ship recycling prices and buyer sentiment in India, Bangladesh, Pakistan and Turkey Why Greek owners are still trading instead of recycling, even with older Panamax bulkers How currency depreciation across the subcontinent is squeezing recyclers and shaping bids The importance of HKC certified and compliant ship recycling yards for listed and blue chip owners Pakistan's recent steel price correction, sub USD 600 local levels and the wait for its first HKC approved yard Turkey's role as a niche destination for EU flag tonnage amid a weakening lira and limited capacity Which vessel types are closest to the economic edge and most likely to be recycled if freight softens Why currencies are now driving market sentiment as much as scrap prices and freight rates Stay tuned to GMS Podcasts for more episodes of Inside the Markets covering ship recycling trends, trading flows and maritime market intelligence from key recycling and shipping hubs worldwide. Subscribe to the GMS Podcasts and follow GMS on LinkedIn for future updates and discussions.

Zak Mir talks to Alexander Selegenev, Executive Director, TMT Investments, after the venture capital company investing in high-growth technology companies, announced that it will today commence an on-market share buyback programme for an aggregate consideration of up to US$2,000,000. The Company's board of directors believe that the current share price trades at a significant discount to the Company's intrinsic value. The purpose of the Programme is therefore to seek to take advantage of this discount to enhance Net Asset Value (NAV) per share, reduce the Company's share capital, and return value to its shareholders. Quick snapshot: who TMT is and what they own TMT is a listed investment company focused on technology, media and telecoms ventures. Founded nearly 15 years ago, the firm has backed more than 100 companies across the US, Western Europe, the UK and Estonia. Its portfolio includes several high-growth names that have achieved large multiples on real exits, and the group reports an IRR since inception of over 14%. Key portfolio highlights include a material holding in Bolt, several profitable growth companies such as Sandbird, and other scalable businesses that are already generating cash. TMT also holds liquid, publicly traded US stock totalling around US$12 million that can be sold if needed. Despite that mix, the market capitalisation for TMT has been trading well below the value of its assets, at roughly a 60% discount to NAV. Why the buyback matters The board's stated purpose is straightforward: use the buyback to enhance NAV per share, reduce share capital, and return value to shareholders while taking advantage of the discount. Management has framed the decision as both a prudent capital allocation and a signal that they see the shares as undervalued relative to the company's intrinsic holdings. Put simply, when a listed vehicle holds large stakes in businesses that are profitable or have credible exit paths, repurchasing shares at steep discounts can be an efficient way to convert latent value into realised shareholder benefit. Conservative valuation, transaction-first approach TMT emphasises a conservative, transparent approach to valuing its portfolio. Rather than relying heavily on convenient multiples, the company values most holdings using actual transactions where possible. As of the most recent reporting, only about 15% of the portfolio value was derived from multiples. The rest is grounded in verifiable cash exits or market-based evidence. This transaction-first method matters for two reasons. First, it reduces the subjectivity that often plagues private asset valuations. Second, it gives buyers and existing shareholders more confidence that the headline NAV is meaningful and not merely an academic number. Why the London market discounts investment companies There are several forces pushing listed VC-style investment companies to trade at discounts. A few of the main contributors are: Market risk aversion. Volatility and macro uncertainty make investors prefer simple, liquid stories over diversified, private-rich portfolios. Focus on the negatives. When you hold dozens of companies, the market tends to fixate on weaker performers instead of the winners. Timing uncertainty for exits. Investors price in delays for IPOs or sales, which reduces near-term enthusiasm for NAV-based assets. Capital outflows from small caps. Structural flows away from smaller listed companies can suppress demand further. Those factors help explain why an investment company can be priced well below the sum of its parts, even when its largest holdings are sizable and verifiable. Portfolio depth and track record TMT's historical performance includes high-multiple exits and several successful growth stories. The team leverages decades of operating and investing experience to access deals, support scale-up, and realise value. For investors who cannot source and monitor multiple early-stage opportunities directly, a diversified vehicle like TMT offers scaled exposure with professional oversight. Examples mentioned by management include exits that delivered 50 times and 23 times the original investment, and a portfolio valuation that exceeds US$200 million. Those realised outcomes are a reminder that venture-style returns remain achievable, albeit uneven across companies. Why management is buying back shares now The buyback is both a practical move and a signal. Management believes the current market price significantly understates intrinsic value. Buying stock at a 60% discount can meaningfully increase NAV per remaining share, and it demonstrates the board's confidence in the portfolio's prospects. "You're paying 40p for a pound."That shorthand captures the essence of the opportunity as the board sees it: purchasing a claim on a dollar of underlying value for substantially less than its stated worth. How to evaluate this kind of opportunity When considering an investment in a listed, venture-style vehicle, the following checklist helps frame the decision: Valuation basis — Are portfolio values backed by cash exits or observable market prices, or are they largely multiples and estimates? Concentration risk — How much of the NAV is tied to a single holding and how comfortably can that position be realised? Liquidity profile — How easy would it be to monetise some holdings if capital was required? Exit pipeline and timing — Are there credible catalysts, such as planned IPOs or trade sale processes? Management track record — Does the team have a history of building companies, achieving exits and allocating capital well? Discount to NAV — Is the discount justified by legitimate risks, or does it reflect short-term market sentiment? Risk and timeframe Investing through a vehicle like TMT is not a short-term trade. Venture outcomes are irregular and often require patience, typically measured in years rather than months. Catalysts such as IPO announcements can rapidly re-rate a stock, but those events are timing-dependent. The buyback reduces share count and can accelerate per-share NAV accretion, yet it does not remove execution risk across underlying companies. Final thought TMT's share buyback is a clear, pragmatic response to a valuation gap. For investors comfortable with venture-style risk and a longer time horizon, buying into a diversified, transaction-valued portfolio at a substantial discount can be an attractive opportunity. As always, review the underlying holdings, assess the company's valuation methodology, and consider how the investment fits within your broader portfolio objectives.

“The market is actually moving a lot less than what was priced in,” Zed Francis says as VIX spiked during Thursday trading. He notes that Nvidia's (NVDA) post-earnings move was “well within” the range the Street expected, and so it goes with the broader market as well. “Even though this feels like a wild day…ultimately this is all within range.”======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – https://twitter.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/schwab-network/About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

Volatility hit Nvidia (NVDA) late Thursday morning following its earnings report, though Hatem Dhiab sees the company maintaining strength for the long-term. He calls the report "fantastic" and its $500 billion Blackwell guidance "really insane." That said, he sees the company hitting the metrics due to its "full stack" approach. Louis Kondratev adds that it's "hard to make a bear case" against Nvidia, saying that the company's poised growth will accelerate the A.I. rally. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

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.And today we lead with markets investors are looking sceptically at restarted US data and the outstanding Nvidia result.First, the American initial jobless claims reporting has restarted, and they say 216,700 new people filed for these benefits last week, up from 214,000 in the same week a year ago. There are now 1.727 mln people on these benefits, up from 1.66 mln a year ago and the highest since 2021.And for the record, they released their September non-farm payrolls report overnight too, claiming +119,000 new jobs created in the month. The non-seasonally adjusted data records a rise from the same month a year earlier of +1.2 mln, the least year-on-year rise since the pandemic. The related wage growth data was weak. And they also announced that they will not be releasing an October report.Meanwhile, the Philly Fed factory survey for October weakened again, including for factory orders. Inflation pressures were reported as higher. Despite all this extended depressed state, these firms say they are optimistic about the future.It was the inverse story for the same report from the Kansas City Fed. Current conditions were mildly positive and stable, cost pressures eased, but future prospects are less enthusiastic. New order levels dipped here too, but only slightly.In Canada, their October PPI came in +6.0% higher than year-ago levels, a rise. They may be surviving the trade war punishment from the US, but it is coming with higher costs.In Taiwan, their October export orders rose +25% from the same month a year ago. As high as that is, it just continues the stellar expansion they have reported all year.In China, they say they are going to extend their trade-in subsidy program, to keep their modest consumer spending levels underpinned.And as widely anticipated, the People's Bank of China kept its key lending rates at record lows for a sixth consecutive month in November. But there is increasing talk that they will be [pressured into reducing them at some stage to weigh against below-target growth.In Europe, German producer prices fell in October, down -1.8% from the same month a year ago.In Australia, the IMF told them that they should hike their GST, abandon their tax cuts, and spend more carefully if it wants to keep a fiscally sustainable economy.And Australia released its GDP by State (they call it GSP). On a real basis for the year to June 2025, NSW expanded +0.9%, Victoria by +1.1%, Queensland by +2.2%, South Australia by +1.0% and Western Australia by +1.3% from the equivalent 2023/24 year. The national rise was +1.4%. But on a per capita basis, only Queensland and Tasmania recorded gains. Nationally it was a -0.3% decline per capita.Global freight rates for container cargoes were unchanged over the past week, to sit -46% lower than year ago levels. But the weekly change masks rising outbound China to Europe rates, while outbound China to the US rates are falling. Meanwhile, bulk cargo freight rates rose +11% over the past week and are now +39% higher than a year ago.The UST 10yr yield is now at 4.11%, unchanged from this time yesterday.The price of gold will start today at US$4055/oz, and down -US$16 from this time yesterday.American oil prices have softened another -50 USc from yesterday to be just under US$59/bbl, with the international Brent price little-changed and still under US$63.50/bbl.The Kiwi dollar is now at just on 56 USc, and unchanged from yesterday. Against the Aussie we are up +10 bps at 86.8 AUc. Against the euro we are little-changed at 48.6 euro cents. That all means our TWI-5 starts today at just over 60.7, and little-changed from yesterday, and still its lowest since July 2009.The bitcoin price starts today at US$87,411 and down another -2.4% from yesterday and -11% below year-ago levels. In fact, it is falling as we publish. Volatility over the past 24 hours has been moderate at just on +/- 2.4%.You can get more news affecting the economy in New Zealand from interest.co.nz.Kia ora. I'm David Chaston. And we will do this again on Monday.

The Nasdaq rallied as much as 2% after the open before reversing to finish the session -2%. That's the highest daily trading range since April's “Liberation Day”. Nvidia did an even bigger swing and finished down -3%. The VIX jumped to as high as 28 at one point. Why the tizz? No one can put a finger on a singular cause. The jobs number looks the obvious culprit. The US added more jobs than expected, and that makes rate cuts less likely.  SPI futures down 142 points. The ASX set to open lower.

In the latest episode of Facts vs Feelings, Ryan Detrick, Chief Market Strategist, and Sonu Varghese, VP, Global Macro Strategist, dig into the surge in market volatility and what they believe is truly behind it. They explore shifting rate-cut expectations from the Fed, how mixed economic data is shaping the outlook, and why recent remarks from Fed officials have rattled markets. Ryan and Sonu also break down the sharp risk-off moves in crypto, the resilience of sectors like healthcare and commodities, and more.Key TakeawaysFed Tone Shift: Fed officials struck a more cautious tone after their October meeting, sharply lowering expectations for a December rate cut and contributing to market weakness.Labor Data Uncertainty: With government shutdown-related data gaps, the Fed is flying partially blind, making upcoming payroll numbers pivotal in determining whether cuts resume.Crypto as Risk-Off Signal: Bitcoin and Ethereum have seen steep declines since last month, acting as a clear risk-off indicator and spilling into tech-adjacent equities.Sector Divergence: Healthcare (especially biotech), utilities, and value stocks have held up better during the pullback, while small-cap growth and speculative tech have lagged sharply.Commodities Showing Strength: Despite volatility, key commodities like copper, natural gas, silver, and jet fuel are meaningfully higher year-to-date—signs that global activity is holding up better than headlines suggest.Connect with Ryan:• LinkedIn: Ryan Detrick• X: @ryandetrickConnect with Sonu:• LinkedIn: Sonu Varghese• X: @sonusvarghese Questions about the show?

Austin King returns to Next Gen Investing to highlight the recent downturn in Bitcoin. While the cryptocurrency saw a rebound on Tuesday, it briefly hit levels below $90,000 before the opening bell. Austin explains that bearish A.I. sentiment and the record-breaking government shutdown caused the risk-on asset to fade. That said, he makes the case for a long-term bull run as adoption expands. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

Recent market volatility is all about uncertainty, says Bob Lang with Explosive Options. One piece of clarity can come from Nvidia's (NVDA) earnings on Wednesday. Bob explains how SoftBank's offloading of the Mag 7 company's stock is something retail investors should note, adding that markets likely won't be happy with the earnings even if Nvidia posts blockbuster numbers. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

CFOs are abandoning quarterly planning cycles for week-by-week assessments as trade tensions, tariff uncertainty, and supplier volatility force a new short-term reality onto financial leadership. Seamus Smith, EVP and Group President of Automated Finance at FIS, and Chrissy Wagner, SVP of GTM at FIS, break down how finance leaders can balance urgent risk management with strategic growth positioning through data quality, automation, and AI. Smith and Wagner reveal that cybersecurity tops the list of CFO concerns, but inefficient processes and lack of visibility into money flows are the real operational killers, particularly as organizations grow through M&A. They explain how FIS helped clients navigate recent tariff disruptions through better data visibility, why paper checks remain one of the biggest fraud vectors in modern finance, how supply chain finance is underutilized in the US compared to Europe, and why AI is already delivering $3.70 in returns for every dollar invested in credit underwriting and collections.

“Volatility has been the name of the game all year,” says Ted Thatcher. He looks at the macro picture through the lens of the consumer and what upcoming economic data reports could show about unemployment, holiday shopping, and more. He thinks the Fed is paying attention to the job market and the conditions there will decide if they cut rates or not. Ted sees opportunities in big tech like Alphabet (GOOGL).======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

HOW TO BUILD MORE COURAGE FOR BITCOIN & MSTR — AND CONQUER MARKET VOLATILITY,Courage isn't something you read in a book. Courage is a muscle. You build it. You tear it. You rebuild it stronger. Bitcoin and MSTR aren't just assets — they're arenas. Colosseums. And every tick up, every dip down, every violent red candle is a test of your internal steel. This isn't for the faint of heart. This is for the few who dare to step into the storm and turn it into fuel.Volatility is not the enemy. Volatility is the path. Volatility is the price of admission into the kingdom of exponential upside. A world where asymmetric bets become asymmetric gains. A world where patience, conviction, and courage become your competitive edge.Courage is built in the dark. Courage is built in those moments when fear screams “SELL!” and your deeper wisdom whispers, “HOLD THE LINE.” Courage is not bravado — courage is clarity. Courage is understanding that Bitcoin is digitally scarce, mathematically finite, geopolitically inevitable. Courage is knowing that MSTR is the lever, the multiplier, the amplified exposure to the greatest monetary revolution of our lifetime.You build courage by studying the truth: Bitcoin has no CEO, no board, no dilution, no quarterly earnings hangovers. Meanwhile MSTR has engineered itself into a Bitcoin acquisition machine — a digital vacuum cleaner sucking up the scarcest monetary asset in human history. Why fear what is fundamentally unstoppable?Every moment of panic is someone else's liquidation — but it does not have to be yours.To conquer market volatility, you must first conquer the volatility within yourself. Most humans crumble because they have no inner architecture. Their emotions are untrained wild dogs. But you? You train your mind like your body — repetition, stress inoculation, extreme exposure. The more chaos you can handle internally, the more wealth you can command externally.Volatility becomes courage when you zoom out.Volatility becomes beauty when you see the bigger arc.Volatility becomes profit when you stop reacting and start observing.The game is simple:Hold stronger than everyone who sells.Think longer than everyone who panics.Accumulate while everyone else doubts.Markets don't reward intelligence — they reward emotional mastery. Markets don't reward the loud — they reward the patient. Markets don't reward the frantic — they reward the unshakeable.You conquer volatility by loving it.You conquer volatility by expecting it.You conquer volatility by dancing with it like fire.Every red candle is a test.Every green candle is a gift.Every sideways chop is a meditation.Bitcoin is the apex asset.MSTR is the leveraged spear.And your courage is the ignition.Because in the end, the volatility is not what destroys people — it's their own indecision. Their fear. Their ego. Their lack of long-term vision. But you? You are building an empire. You are building generational power. You are training your mind to become stronger than the storm.So build your courage daily:Expose yourself to uncertainty.Study the fundamentals.Strengthen your convictions.Expand your time horizons.The world belongs to those who can stomach volatility and stay standing.You are not merely surviving this game — you are dominating it.You are not reacting — you are strategically ascending.You are not afraid — you are becoming anti-fragile.Bitcoin will test you.MSTR will amplify you.Volatility will forge you.And at the end of this psychological gauntlet, only one thing remains:A stronger, wealthier, more unstoppable version of you — the one who refused to break.

Some stories begin with a single alarm bell. This one begins with dozens of small ones—nonprofit leaders quietly signaling the same thing at the same time: the ground under them was shifting, and shifting fast. Because the France-Merrick Foundation funds discrete, one-time capital projects across Baltimore, they hear from an unusually wide cross-section of organizations. And in early 2025, all those cross-currents pointed in the same direction: instability, delays, burnout, and a crisis arriving faster than anyone had planned for.France-Merrick chose to act. In this conversation, Amy Gross walks Carrie through how her foundation made the rare choice to increase its payout and launch the Meet the Moment Fund, dedicating 40% of their annual giving to rapid-response support. The board shifted from quarterly to monthly meetings. The application process was streamlined to a single stage. And the goal was simple: respond before inaction made the moment worse.Along the way, Amy offers a window into the larger questions philanthropy is wrestling with this year—how nonprofits survive when government contracts become unpredictable, why earned revenue has gone from “nice to have” to essential, and what it means for funders to collaborate when the sector is feeling squeezed from all sides. Her own hope rises and falls with the day's news, she admits, yet intention and community remain steady guides.This episode makes a perfect connection to this season's theme of hellos, goodbyes, and the space between. Amy's answers—focused on connection, recognition, and leaving behind an impact that outlives her—echo the very principles her foundation brought to its decision: see people clearly, respond with purpose, and do the most good you can with the moment you're given.

The government shutdown ending was already priced into markets, says Kevin Green. He urges investors to pay attention to any and all official economic data set to hit the wire. All inflation and jobs prints trickling into markets can create volatility and pull the Fed off its interest rate cutting track. As for equities, Kevin says the market broadening out will offer long-term support, with sectors like financials and healthcare needing more strength. He later talks about the "near-term demand market" for crude oil and the continuing volatility seen in silver.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

Circle (CRCL) has sold off more than 70% since hitting its all-time high in June, just a couple week after its IPO and shares quadrupling from its IPO price. Kevin Lehtiniitty believes the company will improve by expanding into a financial infrastructure platform. Volatility coming out of crypto long-term is another bullish indicator Kevin sees for Circle. Todd Stankiewicz adds that interest rates on a cutting path adds pressure to Circle's short to mid-term profit outlook, though frameworks for stablecoin like the GENIUS Act offer long-term support.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

Cocoa to return to BCOM Index and prices are expected to remain firm near $6,000/tonne in 2026, while sugar prices show upside risk amid low stocks and political uncertainty. Broad food price inflation persists, with La Nina weather risks and policy developments in the US, Brazil, and India shaping the outlook.

Our CIO and Chief U.S. Equity Strategist Mike Wilson unpacks why stocks are likely to stay resilient despite uncertainties related to Fed rates, government shutdown and tariffs.Read more insights from Morgan Stanley.----- Transcript -----Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Mike Wilson, Morgan Stanley's CIO and Chief U.S. Equity Strategist. Today on the podcast, I'll be discussing recent concerns for equities and how that may be changing. It's Monday, November 10th at 11:30am in New York. So, let's get after it.We're right in the middle of earnings season. Under the surface, there may appear to be high dispersion. But we're actually seeing positive developments for a broadening in growth. Specifically, the median stock is seeing its best earnings growth in four years. And the S&P 500 revenue beat rate is running 2 times its historical average. These are clear signs that the earning recovery is broadening and that pricing power is firming to offset tariffs. We're also watching out for other predictors of soft spots. And over the past week, the seasonal weakness in earnings revision breath appears to be over. For reference, this measure troughed at 6 percent on October 21st, and is now at 11 percent. The improvement is being led by Software, Transports, Energy, Autos and Healthcare. Despite this improvement in earnings revisions, the overall market traded heavy last week on the back of two other risks. The first risk relates to the Fed's less dovish bias at October's FOMC meeting. The Fed suggested they are not on a preset course to cut rates again in December. So, it's not a coincidence the U.S. equity market topped on the day of this meeting. Meanwhile investors are also keeping an eye on the growth data during the third quarter. If it's stronger than anticipated, it could mean there's less dovish action from the Fed than the market expects or needs for high prices.I have been highlighting a less dovish Fed as a risk for stocks. But it's important to point out that the labor market is also showing increasing signs of weakness. Part of this is directly related to the government shutdown. But the private labor data clearly illustrates a jobs market that's slowing beyond just government jobs. This is creating some tension in the markets – that the Fed will be late to cut rates, which increases the risk the recovery since April falls flat. In my view, labor market weakness coupled with the administration's desire to "run it hot" means that ultimately the Fed is likely to deliver more dovish policy than the market currently expects. But, without official jobs data confirming this trend, the Fed is moving slower than the equity market may like. The other risk the market has been focused on is the government shutdown itself. And there appears to be two main channels through which these variables are affecting stock prices. The first is tighter liquidity as reflected in the recent decline in bank reserves. The government shutdown has resulted in fewer disbursements to government employees and other programs. Once the government shutdown ends which appears imminent, these payments will resume, which translates into an easing of liquidity.The second impact of the shutdown is weaker consumer spending due to a large number of workers furloughed and benefits, like SNAP, halted. As a result, Consumer Discretionary company earnings revisions have rolled over. The good news is that the shutdown may be coming to an end and alleviate these market concerns. Finally, tariffs are facing an upcoming Supreme Court decision. There were questions last week on how affected stocks were reacting to this development. Overall, we saw fairly muted relative price reactions from the stocks that would be most affected. We think this relates to a couple of variables. First, the Trump administration could leverage a number of other authorities to replace the existing tariffs. Second, even in a scenario where the Supreme Court overturns tariffs, refunds are likely to take a significant amount of time, potentially well into 2026.So what does all of this all mean? Weak earnings seasonality is coming to an end along with the government shutdown. Both of these factors should lead to some relief in what have been softer equity markets more recently. But we expect volatility to persist until the Fed fully commits to the run it hot strategy of the administration. Thanks for tuning in; I hope you found it informative and useful. Let us know what you think by leaving us a review. And if you find Thoughts on the Market worthwhile, tell a friend or colleague to try it out!

Things are crazy in these streets, but what if you kept your head and didn't move too much to the left and are perfectly positioned for the melt-up that is about to happen? Embracing chaos as a source for positive change is a powerful mindset shift. Instead of viewing disruption as a disaster to be resisted, you can learn to see it as the energy of possibility—a necessary period of deconstruction before a better creation can emerge. This process requires retaining hope and using the pause created by the chaos to your advantage. This week is a compilation of previously published segments where I explore intentionally seeking peace and speaking positivity into my life.  Thank you for listening!

In episode 794 of The Bad Crypto Podcast, the Republic of Bad Cryptopia is going through major life upgrades. Travis has officially moved to Dubai to become Chief Innovation & Web3 Marketing Officer at MultiBank.io, leading their $MBG token, RWA plays, and a wild new partnership with UFC legend Khabib that involves tokenized gyms. Meanwhile, Joel’s getting married in Breckenridge, rebooting his personal YouTube channel, dropping weekly AI for Everyone episodes, and shaping a new book built from decades of entrepreneurial stories. Then we zoom out and ask the big question: where are we really in this market? Bitcoin has dipped back near the $100K line, alts are bleeding, and total crypto market cap has shed nearly a trillion dollars from the peak. Joel argues the classic 4-year cycle is breaking as nation-states, institutions, and a pro-crypto president pile in… while Travis reminds us that crypto has a nasty habit of wrecking your best assumptions (and your dream Mustang) right when you think you’ve figured it out. Volatility, bull-market “top” indicators, and long-term conviction all collide in one brutally honest convo. This episode is a reset: two blockheads, two dudes talking crypto, life, AI, politics, poop, and everything in between — the way the show started, before “no banter” media people tried to tame it. If you’ve ever felt lost in the noise of headlines and just wanted to hang with a couple of over-50 degen uncles trying to figure it out in real time… this one’s for you.
