Episode notes
U.S. Dollar's Artificial Strength
- The U.S. dollar's artificial strength came from pricing oil in dollars and offshore dollar lending since the 1970s.
- This system enabled massive U.S. imports but hollowed out American manufacturing and jobs.
Foreign Investors Selling U.S. Assets
- Foreign investors hold large shares of U.S. stocks, bonds, and corporate debt but are now selling heavily.
- This capital flight from the U.S. risks destabilizing markets and the economy.
Gold & Bitcoin Resilience
- Gold is on track for record inflows in 2025 as investors seek protection from risks.
- Bitcoin shows remarkable resilience, falling less in corrections compared to stocks historically.
