ANGLES.All Eyes On Switzerland.Trump couldn’t help himself at the weekend and took another one of his regular juvenile potshots at Fed chairman Powell, this time he’s apparently “a total stiff”. But he graciously conceded that he’s not about to fire him (because by law he can’t). Wall Street just rolled its eyes and got on with the important stuff like focusing on earnings reports, economic data and the Fed meeting/Powell’s press conference on Wednesday. After nine straight days of gains that had raised stock prices by more than 10% and erased the massive losses caused by the tariff...2025-05-1106 min
ANGLES.Welcome To The Jungle.Trump’s simmering resentment towards Fed chairman Powell for not bowing to his demands for an immediate interest rate cut was set off again over the weekend by a widely-read pro-Powell opinion article in the Wall Street Journal which described the president’s tariff policy as a “tax” and an “error”. One analyst described any undermining of the Fed’s sacred independence as a “welcome to the jungle” moment that would accelerate the increasingly popular “Sell America” trade and be extremely damaging to US financial markets. While Wall Street does not currently believe that Trump will ditch Powell (because he leg...2025-04-2705 min
ANGLES.Flying Blind.A Fed week began on Monday with financial markets pretty much on hold. While there was zero probability of an interest rate cut announcement, the Wednesday March meeting of the interest rate-setting committee was still set to include the “Dot Plot & Statement of Economic Projections”; members’ quarterly estimates of where they believe interest rates, inflation and economic growth are heading in the coming months and years. This was bound to make interesting reading in the current uncertain market conditions. Retail sales data before the open showed an increase in February but less of a rebound from a poor J...2025-03-2305 min

ANGLES.Wrecked.Jitters caused by yet another example of Trump tossing a hand grenade into a room and not worrying about the clean up until afterwards with the whole Colombia fiasco over the weekend ended up not being the main driver of prices on Monday morning. That honor went to Chinese startup DeepSeek which announced that it is producing cutting-edge AI with minimal costs and no next-gen chips, potentially derailing the investment case for the entire AI supply chain, puncturing the sense of American exceptionalism in tech and maybe even undermining the bullish justification for the entire stock market...2025-02-0206 min
ANGLES.Walking Into A Dark Room.As we entered 2024’s final full week of trading, political turmoil raged around the world. A vote of no-confidence brought down the German government, French national debt was downgraded by credit agencies after the selection of a new Prime Minister, Canada’s finance minister resigned in reaction to what she saw as Trudeau’s wimpy response to Trump’s tariff threats, presidential impeachment proceedings in South Korea continued, a Chinese spy scandal in the UK engulfed two former Conservative prime ministers as well as the royal family and attempts went on to sustainably fill the post-Assad political vacuum in Syria. 2024-12-2208 min
ANGLES.Steady Cycle?Wall Street’s eyes last week were firmly on important labor market data coming out on Tuesday and especially on Friday, with the release of the latest Jobs Report which would start to clean up the mess of last month’s data which was severely disrupted by hurricanes and labor disputes, effectively giving us two months worth of data at one time. More tariff rumblings from Trump over the weekend with social media threats to countries deemed to be thinking about abandoning the US Dollar as a reserve currency (slightly ironic given his new-found rabid support for anyt...2024-12-0806 min

ANGLES.Drifting.The final full week of September is historically on average the worst-performing week of the year for U.S. stocks. This time round, a very limited amount of consequential economic data ahead of the latest inflation reading on Friday and only a handful of earnings reports left the market feeling untethered and drifting, at the mercy of some notoriously unpredictable moving targets such as trader sentiment, global geopolitics, an erratic U.S. election campaign that feels like it could go off the rails at any moment, a looming government shutdown and lots and lots of Fed-Speak, with at least...2024-09-2906 min
ANGLES.Big Cut.The main focus of markets was on the week’s interest rate announcements from the heavyweight central banks in London, Tokyo and, of course, a highly consequential one in Washington DC on Wednesday afternoon, which finally resolved the passionate, frenzied “Will be it be 25 or 50?” debate of the last few weeks.More data over the weekend confirming the accelerating deterioration of the Chinese economy which wasn’t helped by the biggest typhoon since 1949 smashing into Shanghai on a holiday weekend and another apparent attempt on Trump’s life provided a slightly jittery backdrop when U.S. markets opened on...2024-09-2205 min

ANGLES.Victory Lap.Things got off to a somewhat muted low-volume start on Monday with many A-list institutional traders at the beach this week. Their B squads seemed to be under orders to basically tread water, waiting to see if anything of interest emerged from either the annual Federal Reserve jamboree in Jackson Hole or the Democratic National Convention in Chicago. As the session wore on, however, the level of investor conviction and general chatter about a possible upcoming signal from the Fed on Friday concerning the start of a multiple interest rate cut process before year-end seemed to intensify...2024-08-2507 min

ANGLES.Intensity Spike.The surprising outcome of the French parliamentary elections the previous day, where the left, centre and right all essentially cancelled each other out to create a legislative power vacuum and potential political deadlock in France for years to come, caused nervousness and volatility in European markets on Monday, which continued for much of the week.With such a big slate of upcoming potential catalysts; Fed chairman Jerome Powell talking in Congress for two days starting the next day, big inflation data coming out on Thursday and Friday, French election fallout and Q2 earnings season kicking off (and...2024-07-1407 min
ANGLES.Off To The Races.Last week was all about Big Wednesday, with pretty limited price movements on any of the other four days. Interest rate cut sentiment has now swung back to more hopeful again, with the futures-driven expected number of interest rate cuts this year moving up from one to two. This was in the same week that the Fed moved its own projection of the number of 2024 cuts lower from three to one. Huh? The S&P 500 posted its seventh weekly gain in the last eight weeks. As a highly consequential week began on Monday, Wall Street was laser-focused...2024-06-1607 min

ANGLES.Dead Boogeyman?Last week saw a pretty dismal month of April finally come to an end with most indexes suffering a >4% loss for the month, the first monthly setback of the year. But stocks enjoyed a second consecutive week of higher prices after a wild ride that navigated some big earnings reports, a Fed interest rate decision meeting and a Jobs Report. The bulls remained in the driver's seat from the previous week on Monday as the recently-shaky stock prices of Apple and Tesla continued their recent recoveries and helped drag all the indexes modestly higher on the day...2024-05-0505 min

ANGLES.Mirage.Interest rate cuts are beginning to look like a mirage; the closer we seem to get to them the more they seem to recede into the distance. By the end of last week, the most likely Fed interest rate at the end of the year according to futures markets was 5.125% (see FEDWATCH INTEREST RATE TOOL below). With Fed Funds currently sitting at 5.375%, this now implies just one solitary Fed rate cut of 0.25% between here and New Year’s Eve.As a result, stocks fell for the third straight week and tech-heavy NASDAQ stocks in particular were brutalized, su...2024-04-2106 min

Your Brain On ClimateSuccess, with Simon MundieSo much of our silly short lives is spent chasing after trophies or money or glory. Success! But it's never really enough. We just want more trophies and more more money and one day we die and so does everything else, the end. As a culture, we've got success wrong. Today's guest says we should instead see success as learning to lose ourselves in things - whether that's playing the piano, or sport, or listening to jolly interesting podcasts. Pursuing, and cherishing, a flow state - the only state in which we are truly contented. A...2024-03-2250 min
