Global Bond Market Selloff, Alphabet-Apple Stock Surge, Venezuela’s USDT Adoption, PDVSA’s Crypto Use, UK Electric Truck Charging Crisis
Introduction:
In this episode, we explore the turbulence shaking global financial markets, with softer-than-expected US jobs data triggering a sharp selloff in long-term government bonds. Despite a muted stock market rebound led by a favorable antitrust ruling for Alphabet, concerns over government debt and inflation continue to mount. We then turn to Venezuela’s strategic pivot to dollar-pegged cryptocurrencies like USDT, as the nation—and its state oil company PDVSA—use digital currencies to circumvent strict U.S. sanctions and sustain economic activity. Finally, we examine the challenges facing electric heavy goods vehicles in the UK, where limited and costly public charging infrastructure is hindering the adoption of cleaner transport solutions, threatening the industry’s green transition.
