"If the trade deficit begins to shrink as planned, foreign private money will stop flooding Wall Street. Suddenly Trump will have to betray either his own tribe of outraged financiers and realtors or the working class that elected him. Meanwhile, a second front will be opening. Regarding all countries as spokes to his hub, Trump may soon discover that he has manufactured dissent abroad. Beijing may throw caution to the wind and turn the BRICS into a New Bretton Woods system in which the yuan plays the anchoring role that the dollar played in the original Bretton Woods. Perhaps this would be the most astonishing legacy, and comeuppance, of Trump’s otherwise impressive masterplan."

COVID panic alleviated through stimulus checks. Tariff panic alleviated through deficit spending. Round and round we go.

Such rapid monetary expansion often signals high inflation, currency depreciation, or aggressive economic stimulus measures.

Since today there were some huge news for Apple, I didn't see much commentary around it. Vietnam produces more and more Apple stuff, so having finalized tariff for Vietnam can only be seen as a positive "stabilizing" step for the nervous markets.

Are these the first innings of the ai-led jobs apocalypse or just Trump and Powell crashing the economy?

WWII marked the transition from a coal economy to an oil economy. Hopefully the next transition towards renewables won't be as traumatic.

Powell and Bessent have regular breakfast meetings. Bessent handles tariff negotiations. Right now, the world fears tariff-driven inflation. Rate cuts risk making that worse. If Powell starts warming up to cuts, it’s a sign the talks are going well.
