Today's slide deck: https://bit.ly/3CyH5bX -
Trump delivered on the comprehensive tariffs he promised at the weekend against Canada, Mexico and China, although they don't actually go into effect until 12:01 a.m (0501 GMT) tonight. That's when we find out how much the market is hoping that we somehow see Trump climb down from imposing these tariffs at the last moment. Today we discuss the quite modest market reaction to this momentous news and what to look for next across asset classes, from foreign exchange to equities, commodities and US treasuries. On today's pod are John J. Hardy, Global Head of Macro Strategy and Ole Hansen, Head of Commodity Strategy.

Today we look at the tepid market reaction to Trump's threat of imminent tariffs on Canada and Mexico as we wonder whether the market refuses to react until the tariffs are actually in force, thinking some last minute deal will avoid them.
Also, lots to sift through in the blitz of earnings announcements incoming this week and next, as well as some thoughts on the ECB, EURUSD and macro data in store for us in the coming week. On today's pod were Global Head of Investment Strategy Jacob Falkencrone, with Head of Macro Strategy John J. Hardy hosting.

Today we sort through the quite mixed counter-reaction to the DeepSeek news that hit the market so hard at the start of the week, noting the raft of companies that have now surged after the initial reaction as lower cost AI models are seen as powering lower cost AI solutions. We also look at the commodities complex, where softs and grains are stealing the spotlight. The latest on earnings, FOMC preview and more also on the show, now with the return of the slide deck (link below)! Today's episode features Ole Hansen, Head of Commodity Strategy and John J.

The news of China's DeepSeek AI model suddenly gained critical mass at the weekend and triggered an avalanche of selling across the incumbent AI space as the implications of this possibly profound disruptor became clearer. Across the board deleveraging, with special intensity in AI-related tech names is the order of the day as bonds found a safety bid and the JPY did likewise.
On today's podcast were John J. Hardy, Chief Macro Strategist and Ole S. Hansen, Head of Commodity Strategy.

Today we look at the latest flurry of Trump headlines and whether we are any the wiser on where tariff policies are headed, even as the market takes some encouragement. We sort through some of the next questions to ask about Trump policy as well, especially whether he'll get what he wants from the oil and gas market: lower prices. Elsewhere, the market is issuing a collective yawn after the BoJ hike overnight. And we flag the big event risks of next week and an interesting US option market indicator that suggests some nervousness despite record levels in the US S&P 500. Today features Saxo Head of Commodity Strategy Ole Hansen and Chief Macro Strategist John J. Hardy.

The day after Trump's inaugural address, we sort through the interesting things that Trump said as well as what went unsaid and break down some of the ensuing market action, most of which was quite modest after the WSJ broke a key story indicating Trump would not be announcing any tariffs until federal agencies were tasked with investigating key countries. Today's episode features John J. Hardy, Chief Macro Strategist and Ole Hansen, Head of Commodities Strategy.
