    Oct 16 2025
    The Federal Reserve moves markets like no other institution. From mortgage rates to gold and Bitcoin, every asset feels the ripple of Fed decisions. But here’s the twist — it’s not just what the Fed does, it’s what markets expect it to do next that really drives prices. In this episode, we break down how traders track those expectations through the CME FedWatch Tool, how to read the Fed’s “dot plot,” and why forward guidance often moves markets more than actual rate changes. Discover how to interpret Fed probabilities, spot market reactions and understand what “don’t fight the Fed” truly means. Whether you invest in bonds, currencies or stocks, learning the Fed’s playbook can give you a critical edge. Listen to find out more!

  • AI - maybe in a bubble that's surely expected to grow bigger

    AI - maybe in a bubble that's surely expected to grow bigger
    Oct 8 2025
    Investors took a breather as Oracle’s surprisingly thin profit margins cooled the post–OpenAI and AMD euphoria. The company made roughly $900 million in revenue by renting servers powered by Nvidia chips, but only $125 million in gross profit — a reminder that the AI infrastructure boom is capital-intensive and still finding its footing. Yet optimism remains strong: McKinsey projects global data-center capacity to triple by 2030, fueled by AI demand. Meanwhile, Nvidia eyes an investment in Elon Musk’s xAI, reigniting tech enthusiasm. On the energy side, Shell hit a one-year high on strong Q3 results, while renewable forecasts dimmed under policy shifts. The US dollar gains despite a US government shutdown on weak euro and yen, while the FOMC minutes are still on schedule — markets are watching. Listen to find out more!

Nvidia takes a small hit, underscoring the competitive dynamics in the AI chip market and the massive investment flowing into scaling AI infrastructure. Meanwhile, global political shocks are adding volatility: France’s new PM resigned after just 14 hours in office, Japan’s Takaichi faces rising inflation and record debt while willing to push for a pro-growth agenda, while the UK – who did the same and failed - braces for another ugly budget announcement. Despite these risks, equities remain resilient, while safe-haven assets such as gold, silver and Treasuries attract attention. Listen to find out more!
