In this conversation, Anthony Cheung and Piers Curran discuss the implications of Donald Trump's return to power on the financial markets, particularly focusing on the US dollar's role as a global reserve currency. 

They explore how Trump's policies may impact inflation, interest rates, and the economic landscape for emerging markets. 

The discussion delves into the complexities of the 'doom loop' phenomenon, where rising dollar values can lead to inflationary pressures in other countries, especially those with significant dollar-denominated debt. 

The conversation concludes with insights on how Trump might leverage these economic dynamics in global politics.
