Intro

Is the U.S. economy as strong as it looks, or are we being misled by flawed data? In this hard-hitting interview, Gavekal co-founder and CEO Louis-Vincent Gave joins James Connor to unpack the growing disconnect between economic headlines and financial reality. They explore why job numbers keep getting revised, why inflation feels worse than reported, and how the Federal Reserve’s credibility is being questioned, even from within. Louis also shares why he believes the U.S. dollar is entering a long-term decline, and why the narrative around China’s economic weakness is both overstated and misunderstood.

Key insights include:

• Why the U.S. dollar is losing its safe-haven status
• What falling U.S. confidence means for markets
• Why China’s stock market may be the biggest bull run nobody believes in
• Why China’s energy strategy is leaving the West behind
• Why a surge in energy prices could wreck portfolios overnight
• And how a weak dollar + capital flight is creating huge tailwinds for emerging markets, commodities, and value stocks

Don’t miss this macro masterclass from one of the most respected global strategists in the world.
