Good morning FYI, my thoughts on how financial market anomalies, including the coincidence of record prices for both risk-on (stocks) and risk-off (gold) assets, are indicators of the growing influence of geoeconomics—that is, the way geopolitics and domestic politics now shape

This week’s "Fedspeak" has shed important light on the differences of views among members of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC), particularly between Chair Powell and Governor Miran. This has also given rise to market and economist chatter that there are now two Fed Chairs

1/2 Very good essay by Gillian Tett. At the beginning of every semester I tell my PKU students that they are lucky enough (or unlucky enough) to be studying at a time, like in the 1930 or 1970s, when the world is undergoing a major shift... @gilliantett

And it is bigger than Smoot-Hawley . . .
“This is going to be much bigger than Smoot-Hawley,” @D_A_Irwin says. “Imports are a much greater share of GDP now than they were back in the early 1930s by a long shot.” Imports of goods & services are 14% of US GDP — ~3x the share they were in 1930.

The Trump Tariff Tax is the largest peacetime tax hike in U.S. history. These Tariffs are nearly 10x the size of those imposed during the Trump-Pence Administration and will cost American families over $3,500 per year. Check Out“Spoiling America’s Golden Age”@AmericanFreedom 👇

Fair summary
69% of Americans in this @FoxNews Poll are Right. Tariffs on imports will make products you buy more expensive. For more facts on Tariffs and Trade, check out this helpful summary by @AmericanFreedom🇺🇸 https://t.co/DfjjfBSOvP

Just figured out where these fake tariff rates come from. They didn't actually calculate tariff rates + non-tariff barriers, as they say they did. Instead, for every country, they just took our trade deficit with that country and divided it by the country's exports to us. So we
It's also important to understand that the tariff rates that foreign countries are supposedly charging us are just made-up numbers. South Korea, with which we have a trade agreement, is not charging a 50% tariff on U.S. exports. Nor is the EU charging a 39% tariff.

Many investors are dazed. No wonder: as the US flirts with shutdow and Trump intensifies his trade war, indices of economic uncertainty have shot above even the pandemic or the 2008 financial crisis. But the uncertainty could get worse, says Gillian Tett

The Ezra Klein Show: Is Trump ‘Detoxing’ the Economy or Poisoning It? w/guest Gillian Tett It’s hard to understand the economic logic of President Trump’s tariffs. In our last episode, we tried, but with limited success. And that might be because the logic here isn’t entirely
