Thoughts on make or break time for Tesla, geopolitics, FX, US treasuries and more. Today's pod hosted by Saxo Global Head of Macro Strategy John J. Hardy.

Monday May 12, 2025
Monday May 12, 2025
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.
