Today, a look at Friday's ugly session, where internals suggest a market where some of the pros may be in profit-taking mode ahead of year-end as some of the most recent high-profile gainers suffered an ugly setback while many weak companies posted strong gains. Also, a look at the busy calendar for the week ahead for macro traders, as we await key US data and central bank meetings, especially the Bank of England on Thursday and the Bank of Japan on Friday. Today's pod hosted by Saxo Global Head of Macro Strategy John J. Hardy.

Today's link: Mike Green has made a huge splash on middle class financial insecurities and cost of living affordability challenges at surprisingly high income levels and was recently a guest on a very long form podcast discussing this very topic. Really critical to get at the root of why someone like Donald Trump has become president - because the system isn't working for most people anymore.  

For our longer form podcasts, you will also find links discussed on the podcast and a chart-of-the-day over at the John J. Hardy substack.
