  The K-Shaped Economy in The US?

  Aug 20, 202612 min

  Walmart, Home Depot and Target all reported this week, and the picture they paint is of a K-shaped American consumer, where Walmart's US comparable sales grew at their slowest pace in over six years, even as it gained share among higher-income households. But the bigger threat to equities may not be the consumer at all: it's the long end of the Treasury curve, with Washington now trying to boost buybacks of long-dated government debt to hold rates down. We also look at gold hitting its highest since June while the dollar slides, and whether that divergence widens. We speak to Tim Mulholland, President of TJM Limited.

  US Treasury Buybacks, Dollar Weakness and Asian Currency Outlook

  Aug 19, 202611 min

  Vishnu Varathan from Mizuho Bank speaks about the impacts of the recent FOMC minutes, which revealed a split between members wanting to hike rates and those preferring to wait for more inflation data. However, markets paid more attention to the US Treasury’s announcement of increased buybacks of long-term bonds, which helped lower yields and boosted equities and gold. He explains that while this move provides short-term relief and benefits equities, it raises concerns about long-term debt sustainability and the potential weakening of the US dollar.

  Tech Sell-off, China Growth & Gold's Rally

  Aug 18, 202612 min

  A sharp pullback in semiconductor stocks and climbing global bond yields signal growing market fatigue as investors weigh the rising capital costs of scaling artificial intelligence ambitions. Hebe Chen, Senior Market Analyst at Vantage Markets, joins BFM’s Market Watch to evaluate the outlook for US equities ahead of the July FOMC minutes release, analysing how interest rate expectations and government deficits are impacting broader market liquidity. She assesses China's emerging "two-speed economy", where resilient manufacturing contrast with sluggish consumer demand, and details why targeted policy support will likely take precedence over broad-based stimulus. Hebe also examines the rebound in South Korean tech giants SK Hynix and Samsung, alongside the structural factors and central bank buying driving renewed interest in gold as an inflation hedge Image Credit: Shutterstock See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

  US Stagnation, Central Banks & Gold Breakout

  Aug 16, 202611 min

  Despite the S&P 500 reaching record highs, deteriorating US retail sales and falling consumer sentiment signal that equity markets may be priced to perfection with a thin margin for error. Dilin Wu, Research Strategist at Pepperstone, joins BFM’s Market Watch to analyse growing macro headwinds, upcoming tech earnings catalysts, and central bank expectations. She breaks down why the Federal Reserve is likely to keep interest rates on hold through year-end, evaluates the hawkish stance of the Reserve Bank of Australia and its impact on the Aussie dollar, and explains why Japan’s FX intervention offers only temporary relief for the Yen. Dilin also assesses gold's recent technical breakout, highlighting continuous central bank purchasing and institutional inflows as key drivers for medium- to long-term upside.
