Episode notes
Temporary Stock Rally Misleads Investors
- The post-trade-war relief rally in the stock market is misleading and temporary.
- The true economic trouble lies in ongoing issues like de-dollarization and weak fundamentals, not tariffs.
Dollar Reserve Status at Risk
- The real threat is the dollar losing its global reserve currency status.
- Trade tariffs distract from deeper issues such as foreign holders shedding dollar assets and rising bond yields.
Bond Market Shows Economic Risk
- Bond yields are rising sharply despite a stock market rally, signaling economic vulnerability.
- Rising long-term rates will challenge Trump's administration goals to lower interest rates.
