This podcast examines pressing macroeconomic questions, including whether the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) can rescue the bond market and risk assets amid persistent, sticky inflation. It explores recent market sell-offs, quantitative signals (such as the Volatility-Adjusted Momentum Signal and Global Macro Risk Matrix), and outlines potential economic outcomes ranging from moderate to significant slowdowns. The discussion also delves into portfolio strategies under fiscal tightening, the impact of TGA spend-down cycles on liquidity, and the risks and opportunities emerging from evolving inflation and growth dynamics.
