Today we unpack the historic paradigm shift as the EU and Germany have unveiled titanic fiscal initiatives that are altering the landscape for European bonds and the euro. Also, we look at whether there is a Trump put, and ponder whether Trump's moves on crypto and to supercharge money laundering risks are a feature as much as a bug.

Yesterday's combination of Trump tariff threats and weak US data spooked the market further, as did the technical implications of a breakdown through first key support levels in the Nasdaq 100 index a day after Nvidia earnings. Today we run down the really critical support levels that must hold to avoid a bigger meltdown or even bear market kick-off. We also look at why some assets are moving as they are, and what to look at next with a very busy geopolitical and economic calendar next week. Today's pod hosted by Saxo Global Head of Macro Strategy John J. Hardy.

Today we break down Nvidia's earnings report. Long story short: its earnings don't look like they will be the trigger for the broader market direction from here, so now the market can do what it wanted to do with this distraction out of the way. Plenty more to talk about today, from the latest on Trump tariffs and US continuing to alter the geopolitical landscape to what is driving a huge ramp in one very old German stock. Today's pod features Global Head of Investment Content Jacob Falkencrone and Global Head of Macro Strategy John J. Hardy

Today we look at the ugly rollover in risk assets as markets fret the geopolitical backdrop and perhaps rein in risk exposure ahead of the most important earnings event of the quarter: Nvidia's, which reports after the market close on Wednesday. We also talk the blistering pace of geopolitical developments and policy moves from the Trump administration as well as asking what Europe does next. On today's call are Saxo Global Head of Investment Strategy Jacob Falkencrone and Global Head of Macro Strategy John J. Hardy.

European equity markets are on fire this year, and European defense stocks have lifted aggressively in recent days on fears that the entire transatlantic alliance is collapsing and will require a massive fiscal boost across Europe if it is to defend itself in a new geopolitical backdrop. We pick through one interesting angle on EU defense spending, break down the latest action in FX and commodities and much more as the world seems to spin faster and faster every day. Today features Saxo Head of Commodity Strategy Ole Hansen and Saxo Global Head of Macro Strategy John J. Hardy hosting.
