Trump extended the tariff truce with China – which was set to expire today – by 90 more days, announced that gold will finally not be tariffed, and confirmed that Nvidia and AMD will pay the US government a 15% cut of their Chinese sales. He also said that his upcoming talk with the Russian President Putin will hardly lead to a sustainable truce if Ukraine doesn’t cede territory.
As a result, Chinese chipmaker SMIC is better bid today, gold and crude oil rebound, while equities futures are timidly in the positive ahead of the all-important US CPI release due...

This week starts with optimism in global markets as Asian indices and US futures open higher. The S&P 500 just posted its strongest week since June, driven by solid earnings and hopes for progress in Ukraine. Trade tensions have eased somewhat, boosting European stocks. Energy markets are under pressure, with oil prices in a bearish zone after breaking key support levels, though upside risks prevail.
Big news: Nvidia and AMD plan to pay the US government 15% of their Chinese chip sales to reduce export-restriction risks and gain more revenue transparency. This unusual move raises questions about national security priorities...

European stocks rallied on Trump-fueled hopes of brokering peace between Russia and Ukraine—but that optimism is fading fast. Defense names slid after Rheinmetall’s disappointing results, while BAE and Leonardo offered mixed signals. Meanwhile, Switzerland left Washington with no tariff relief, and a 39% levy looms over exports.
In the US, oil broke below $65pb, jobless claims surged, and inflation expectations jumped—classic stagflation territory. Yet markets are betting on more Federal Reserve (Fed) cuts, especially with Stephen Miran expected to replace Adriana Kugler and Christopher Waller floated as the next Fed Chair.
Tech continues to be the market’s virtual comfort zone,...

Tariff news is anything but soothing. Allies are spooked. Apple’s throwing $600 billion on the table — just to keep Trump calm. Welcome to The Trump Order — where global trade bends to one man’s will.
India and Switzerland are caught in the crosshairs of aggressive new tariffs. Big Pharma could face duties of up to 250%. Apple is rushing to shift iPhone production to the U.S., but these relocations will likely accelerate AI adoption rather than boost jobs.
Meanwhile, demand for U.S. bonds weakened this week — but yields remain contained as the Fed faces pressure to cut rates...

Mixed PMI data, sticky inflation, and a reality check for Federal Reserve (Fed) rate cut hopes are on the menu of today’s episode. Slower US service activity and hotter-than-expected price pressures have markets rethinking (but just a little) about a September rate cut, sending 2-year yields climbing. Meanwhile, Trump’s tariff threats — including on chips, drugs, and even countries buying Russian oil — are fueling trade chaos. Equities look mixed, though tech stars like Palantir defied the trend. In Europe, luxury struggles, but defense and tech stand tall. Shell and BP beat expectations despite earnings declines, focusing on shareholder returns...

Markets kicked off the week with a bang as dip buyers jumped in, brushing off last week’s correction. With retail traders driving the rally and institutional investors still holding short positions, the S&P500 just had its best day since May. So, what’s fueling this optimism? Strong tech earnings, rising expectations of Fed rate cuts, and a belief that bad news is good news. But not everyone’s convinced. Bears point to narrow profit growth outside of tech, sticky inflation, and uncertainty on every front—from geopolitics to tariffs.
In this episode, we break down the bullish and bearish arguments, dive into bond...

Tariff chaos, a weakening US economy, Trump’s pressure on Federal Reserve (Fed) and the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) and an AI-driven tech rally — all in just two weeks. Market sentiment is turning sour even though the Fed cut expectations mount and the S&P500 earnings beat expectations.
But is the S&P 500’s strength overstated? Are markets ignoring the recession signals? And who really pays for all these tariffs?
Listen to find out more!

We're finishing a volatile week, but how's August going to be? More volatility or more bullrun action?
