Today - a look at the FOMC meeting, which saw the Fed smelling stronger stagflationary risks, while the US dollar rose across the board on the failure of the Fed to wax more dovish perhaps. Elsewhere, we look at the latest interesting batch of US data and the latest on Iran-Israel. In stocks, we discuss Coinbase leading the gainers among S&P 500 stocks on the rise in stablecoin uses, which also drove two superstar stocks to post the worst declines of all S&P 500 members yesterday. Today's pod hosted by Saxo Global Head of Macro Strategy John J. Hardy.

Today, a look at how this Israel-Iran conflict moves toward a "conclusion", with the risk that Israel has maximalist goals leaning toward regime change, so the timeline of the conflict is more likely to remain extended. Elsewhere, we look at the FOMC meeting today and the likely outcomes, as well as how the market "pricing" of the Fed's policy trajectory may be very misleading on what actually happens. Today's pod hosted by Saxo Global Head of Macro Strategy John J. Hardy.

Today we talk through the impact across markets from Israel's attacks on Iran and how difficult it is to sustain a focus on geopolitics or trust the knee-jerk reaction. We also discuss what was happening before the geopolitical situation suddenly heated up as fresh weak US labor market data sent the USD overboard - or did it? A preview of the massive week ahead in macro event risks, the latest on the commodities space and much more on today's pod, which features Saxo Head of Commodities Strategy Ole Hansen, with Saxo Global Head of Macro Strategy John J. Hardy hosting.

Thoughts on the Fed possibly cutting earlier than expected, Oracle blowout earnings and much more. Today's pod hosted by Saxo Global Head of Macro Strategy John J. Hardy.

Today's slide deck: https://bit.ly/3ZlIZVD
Today, we look at whether the major Musk-Trump rift was one of the chief drivers of weak risk sentiment in US markets yesterday even beyond the Tesla fallout, as we also got further evidence of weak US labor market data. In markets, the standout development was silver ripping through resistance and posting new 13-year highs. Today's pod features Saxo Head of Commodity Strategy Ole Hansen, hosted by Saxo Global Head of Macro Strategy John J. Hardy.
