Today we look at the impact of Trump's big softening on tariffs against China as well as his declaration he has no intention of firing Fed Chair Powell, asking whether this is a major reversal across the board or merely a big slow-down in the "direction of travel" toward a US-China economic decoupling. We talk gold, silver, crude oil, equities, currencies and key US earnings as everything has been roiled once again by Trump's latest rhetoric. On today's pod are Saxo Head of Commodity Strategy Ole Hansen and Saxo Global Head of Macro Strategy John J. Hardy.

Today we look at more market volatility on the latest US-China trade friction and look ahead to the next key event risks on the geopolitical front as US-Japan trade talks are set to get under way and with Italian PM Meloni in Washington. We also wonder whether the US equity market is shaping up for the greatest bear market in a generation as market bailouts are likely no longer a major Washington priority, among other reasons. Today's podcast hosted by Saxo's Global Head of Macro Strategy John J. Hardy.

After Trump's 90-day delay on reciprocal tariffs, we have a short window of time to find out how the global geopolitical order will shape up from here as US trading partners scramble to make deals with the US on trade. Will they be willing to sign on to the US' anti-China policy as we now have what amounts to a US-China economic war until or unless until or unless we suddenly see a move to the negotiating table. On today's pod are Jacob Falkencrone on equities, Ole Hansen on commodities, and John J. Hardy on macro and hosting.

Today's slide deck.    -

Today we look at a historic, very bad day for US markets in the wake of Trump's Liberation Day tariffs as the market positions for disruption and widening recession risks. On that note, Europe is certainly at risk, especially relative to recent enthusiasm. Elsewhere, we talk through the FX market and how risk off may see some shifts in recent patterns, look at precious metals after the plunge in silver, discuss what OPEC+ just did that added to the downdraft in crude oil prices, and much more. On today's pod were Ole Hansen on commodities and John J. Hardy hosting.

Today we look at the state of the market a day ahead of Trump's "Liberation Day" tariff announcements as the market braces for impact. We also discuss the outlook for gold now that it has tacked on another massive rally and run down the performance across the commodity complex in Q1, where gold was surprisingly not the top performer. The latest developments in FX, equity technical levels of note and our top must reads also in today's podcast, which features Ole Hansen on commodities and John J. Hardy hosting.
