Tom and Drew walk you through the current state of the stock market, Bitcoin’s unpredictable surge, gold peaking at all-time highs, and the relentless uncertainty plaguing investors. The duo then shifts focus to the seismic dynamics between the US and China, analyzing a thought-provoking video that pulls the curtain back on China's vulnerabilities in the ongoing tariff war.

You’ll get an unfiltered look at why companies are pivoting away from Chinese manufacturing, how currency manipulation can rattle financial stability, and the real-world impact of global supply chain risk.

Tom and Drew don’t just tackle economic facts – they challenge media narratives and urge listeners to look beyond the headlines to the real drivers of market sentiment. If you’re looking for actionable insight into how today’s economic chess match could play out, this is the episode you can’t afford to miss.
