  • Nvidia: $4 trillion and more to go
    Tariff headlines keep rolling in — from 50% levies on Brazilian exports to a pending decision on the EU — but markets remain resilient. European equities gained, and the Nasdaq reached new highs, helped by a sharp intraday rally in Nvidia. The company briefly rose over 2%, becoming the world’s first to hit a $4 trillion valuation.
    Elsewhere, Amazon’s Prime Day started stronger than expected, Federal Reserve (Fed) minutes showed diverging views on the inflationary impact of tariffs, and the US dollar softened as rate-cut bets gained traction. Crude oil tests the 200-DMA resistance while the gap between US copper futures with the rest of the world is disquieting.

  • Let’s get moving to inflation hedges!
    European markets are on edge as rising US tariffs collide with hopeful trade negotiations with the EU. But optimism elsewhere fade as the latest tariff pause expires and President Trump threatens no extensions beyond August 1. Meanwhile, a surprise 50% levy on copper has sent COMEX futures to record highs even as prices on India’s MCX pull back. With inflationary pressures mounting—fed by both tariffs and unexpected mass deportations that could subtract a full percentage point from GDP and nudge prices up by 0.16–0.21 points—the Federal Reserve (Fed) faces a critical dilemma in the second half of 2025. Discover which sectors and asset classes offer the strongest inflation hedge in this volatile environment, from consumer staples and healthcare to metals and mining ETFs.

  • Tariffs, inflation, debt risks are everywhere – but markets don’t blink
    Markets are brushing off 25–40% tariffs like they’re just minor annoyances. But the US is back to tariff warfare, inflation is knocking, repatriation risks from Japan are rising — and yet, equities barely flinch. The S&P 500 is near ATH levels, the Nikkei rebounds, and the Stoxx 600 marches on. The new negotiation deadline is pushed to August 1st, but somehow that’s good news? Businesses can’t hold prices down forever, and consumers may soon feel the pinch. The Federal Reserve (Fed) is stuck between rising inflation and slowing growth. But sure — let’s keep buying risk. It must be unicorns holding it all together.🦄
    But while the party continues as long is music is one, we dig into tariff risks, earnings risks, potential JGB yield shocks, the Fed’s dilemma and FX moves.

  • OPEC brings more oil to the market, as Trump’s tariff deadline approaches
    The week starts with renewed pressure on oil prices as OPEC decided to ramp up its production restoration plans by announcing an additional 548,000 barrels per day—well above the 411,000 increase expected, and renewed pressure on risk appetite as the July 9th deadline approaches fast. Within two days, the Trump administration is expected to announce its tariff decision for trading partners.
    Asian traders kicked off the week cautiously. The US dollar is surprisingly higher this morning, while the selloff in oil was contained, perhaps on repricing of geopolitical tensions.

  • Big, fat bill, questionable trade deals, Fed bets... not your standard recipe for record highs
    The S&P 500 and Nasdaq hit fresh records, while small-caps join the party. And that’s despite jobs data that killed July Federal Reserve (Fed) rate-cut hopes—odds dropped from 27% to just 5%! Yields spiked, the dollar jumped... but stocks still climbed. Why?
    Digging deeper, the jobs data wasn’t as strong as it looked. Job gains came from public education, and unemployment fell only because people left the labour force. Wages slowed—good for the Fed—but now it’s tariffs fueling inflation fears.
    Trump’s new deal with Vietnam hints at double-digit tariffs. Add his $3.3 trillion ‘reverse Robin Hood’ tax bill, and debt fears are back. Gold is rising. Futures are down. And the market? Priced for perfection.
    How long can this rally last?

  • Cracks beneath the record highs
    The S&P 500 closed at a fresh record high yesterday, boosted by a 4% jump in Nike shares — now up 45% since April’s dip on the back of the US–Vietnam trade deal and relaxed chip design exports toward China. But the tariffs remain significantly high – and will likely boost inflation – the economic data is weakening but not enough to get the Fed to cut the rates when inflation expectations are rising – and the Western sovereign bonds start giving fresh signs of stress.
    In summary, there are cracks beneath the record high equity prices. And this episode is detailing them!

  • Why strong jobs data would be bad news for US equity valuations?
    Rally in most major indices across Europe and the US paused yesterday, as Trump-driven optimism began to sour under the rocky glare of the summer sun.
    To top it off, yesterday’s US data did little to support those betting on an imminent Federal Reserve (Fed) rate cut. Most FOMC members still argue that cutting rates now would be a mistake, particularly as they expect inflation to rise due to tariffs in the coming months, and the labour market remains robust enough to wait. In fact, US job openings unexpectedly rose in May, the ISM Manufacturing Index showed slower contraction, and price pressures edged higher in June.
    Investors will keep focus on US jobs data today and tomorrow. Sufficiently strong figures could lead to an accelerated readjustment of Fed pricing, push yields higher and weigh on risk appetite.
