What now after the capitulation?

Today, a look at where the markets are headed after yesterday's big capitulation in what was meant to be the macro trade of the year - the move out of the US dollar and US markets. Especially pressing now is where the focus may shift now that trade policy headlines are less likely to move markets. Today's pod hosted by Saxo Global Head of Macro Strategy John J. Hardy

As good as its gets on the trade news front

Equity markets are shooting for the moon and the US dollar is rallying after the US-China trade talks at the weekend resulted in a 90-day ceasefire and temporary huge tariff reductions. We look at the implications across markets and ask whether this is as good as it can possibly get for now on the trade front, as this is a change of speed, not of direction. On today's pod are Saxo Head of Commodity Strategy Ole Hansen and Global Head of Macro Strategy John J. Hardy.

Trump going soft on tariffs versus the direction of travel

Today's slide deck: https://bit.ly/4jHvS8G    -

Today we look at the impact of Trump's big softening on tariffs against China as well as his declaration he has no intention of firing Fed Chair Powell, asking whether this is a major reversal across the board or merely a big slow-down in the "direction of travel" toward a US-China economic decoupling. We talk gold, silver, crude oil, equities, currencies and key US earnings as everything has been roiled once again by Trump's latest rhetoric. On today's pod are Saxo Head of Commodity Strategy Ole Hansen and Saxo Global Head of Macro Strategy John J. Hardy.
