February 23: Trump/Musk give $5,000 check Doge savings, Egg Prices All Time High, Stocks tank (Recap ep304)

This week, Marcello talks about how Trump and Elon Musk are considering sending $5,000 checks to U.S. taxpayers, thanks to savings detected by DOGE in the government’s payment system. Meanwhile, the stock market suffered its worst day of 2025, losing nearly $1 trillion. In the food sector, egg prices hit a new all-time high in the U.S. U.S. markets closed the week with sharp declines. Trump is considering imposing tariffs of 25% or more on cars, semiconductors, and medicines, negatively impacting those sectors. Microsoft, on the other hand, rose 1.25% after unveiling its first-ever quantum computing chip. Walmart caused uncertainty with a weaker-than-expected sales forecast. On Friday, the market lost $927 billion, with the Dow dropping 1.69% to 43,428.02 points, and the S&P 500 falling 1.71% to 6,013.13. The Nasdaq suffered the biggest hit, down 2.20%. In international markets, European stocks had mixed results: London fell 0.84%, Germany dropped 1.01%, and Paris was down 0.29%. Russia, however, gained 3.08%. In Latin America, Mexico’s stock exchange fell 0.63%, while Colombia surged 5.05%. In Asia, Hong Kong led with a 3.79% gain, while Japan dropped 0.96%. Bitcoin dropped 0.95%, trading at $96,706, though Coinbase shares rose 3% after the SEC dropped an enforcement action against the company. In commodities, gold hit a new record high of $2,954 per ounce, while silver rose 0.96%. Oil, on the other hand, dropped to a two-month low, with WTI crude at $70.40 and Brent at $74.43. Egg prices in the U.S. hit an all-time high of $4.95 per dozen, reflecting supply chain issues. In Guyana, the government is set to sign an oil production-sharing agreement with TotalEnergies, with the country on track to produce 940,000 barrels per day this year—nearly 1% of global supply. In finance, New Zealand’s central bank cut interest rates by 0.50% to 3.75%. MercadoLibre surged 7.09% after reporting better-than-expected revenue. Japan’s economy grew 2.8% in the last quarter, exceeding expectations, while Mexico saw its first economic contraction in over three years. In political news, Trump accused China of exerting influence over the Panama Canal, while Finland and Sweden are investigating another sabotage incident involving undersea telecom cables in the Baltic Sea. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. claimed that a Pentagon study found flu vaccines increase the likelihood of illness by 4.4 times. Yale researchers identified a “post-vaccination syndrome” linked to mRNA Covid shots, causing brain fog, dizziness, tinnitus, and exercise intolerance. Elon Musk and Trump are discussing sending $5,000 checks to taxpayers using savings detected in the government’s payment system, which DOGE claims could total $522 billion in fraud—equivalent to one-third of all Social Security spending. In corporate news, Tesla climbed 1.82% after reporting better-than-expected results. Shake Shack surged 11.13% on strong sales numbers. Southwest Airlines will cut 15% of its corporate workforce, while Rivian fell 4.70% after issuing a lower-than-expected delivery forecast. In international news, power outages are becoming a daily reality in Cuba, with some areas going without electricity for over 20 hours. The government has ordered two-day school closures and is urging reduced energy consumption. And in interesting facts, new evidence in Romania suggests hominins reached Eurasia 2 million years ago—200,000 years earlier than previously thought.

February 16: Elon Musk offers buy OpenAI, Ukraine war over?, Inflation higher than expected (Recap ep303)

This week, Marcello talks about a group led by Elon Musk offering $97.4 billion to buy the nonprofit controlling OpenAI, though Sam Altman turned down the bid and countered with an offer to buy Twitter for $9 billion. Inflation came in higher than expected at 3%, reinforcing the Federal Reserve’s stance to hold off on interest rate cuts for now. Meanwhile, Donald Trump has been in talks with both Vladimir Putin and Volodymyr Zelenskiy, raising questions about whether the war in Ukraine could soon come to an end. U.S. President Trump’s trade advisers were finalizing plans on Wednesday, for the reciprocal tariffs the U.S. President has vowed to impose on every country that charges duties on U.S. imports, increasing fears of a widening global trade war & threatening to add to already virulent U.S. inflation. Trade ministers of the 27-country European Union were due to meet by video conference to determine their response after European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said tariff moves against the bloc won’t go unanswered. U.S. President Trump discussed the war in Ukraine on Wednesday in phone calls with Russian President Putin & Ukrainian President Zelenskiy, the new U.S. president’s 1st major step towards diplomacy, over a war he has promised to end. Earlier on Wednesday, Trump’s Defense Secretary, Pete Hegseth, said a return to Ukraine’s pre-2014 borders borders was unrealistic & the U.S. administration did not see NATO membership for Ukraine as part of a solution to the war. Russia occupies about 20% of Ukraine & has demanded Ukraine cede even more territory & be rendered permanently neutral, under any peace deal. Russia may be forced to throttle back its oil output in the coming months as U.S. sanctions hamper its access to tankers to sail to Asia & Ukrainian drone attacks hamper its refineries. The U.S. imposed sanctions last month that targeted 180 tankers. There is a growing glut of crude in Russia due to falling exports & reduced refining production which can only be addressed by lowering output, at present 9M barrels a day. Russia has little storage capacity & Ukraine has attacked some of these facilities with drones in recent weeks, to improve its bargaining position amid expectations that U.S. President Trump will press Russian leader Putin to negotiate an end to the war. Singapore’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) grew by +4.4% in 2024, marking its fastest growth since 2021, government data indicated early Friday.The economy had expanded by only +1.8% in 2023. For Q4 alone, Singapore’s GDP grew +5% year on year, higher than the +4.7% forecast by analysts, but lower than the +5.7% expansion seen in the previous quarter. The +5% growth figure also surpassed advance estimates of +4.3% announced on Jan. 2. The Fed reported on Friday that U.S. industrial output had strong gains for a 2nd consecutive month, rising +0.5% in January. The gain was above expectations of a +0.3% rise & comes after a strong +1% gain in Dec. Economists had expected industrial production to rise by +0.3% compared to the 0.9% advance originally reported for the previous month. The bigger than expected increase by industrial production reflected a 7.2% spike by utilities output, as cold temperatures boosted the demand for heating. Meanwhile, the Fed said mining output slumped by 1.2% & manufacturing output edged down by -0.1% amid a 5.2% plunge by motor vehicles & parts production. The gold market was seeing some renewed volatility on Friday & headed lower, while weak U.S. consumption data highlights growing risks for the U.S. economy. The gold market was already seeing some selling pressure ahead of the report & profit-taking picked up momentum in the initial reaction.

February 9: US AID govt Corruption, Trump Tariff War Pause, Gold Record Highs (Recap ep302)

This week, Marcello talks about how U.S. aid money is once again under scrutiny, with growing concerns over corruption and mismanagement. Meanwhile, Trump hit the brakes on his trade war (at least for now) pausing new tariffs on Mexico and Canada, which sent markets swinging. And gold? It just smashed through record highs, climbing past $2,900 an ounce as investors scramble for safe-haven assets. Markets had a wild start to the week after Trump’s tariff threats. The Dow slid 0.99% to 44,303.40, the S&P 500 dropped 0.95% to 6,025.99, and the NASDAQ took the biggest hit, down 1.36% to 19,523.40. International markets were mixed, with Spain jumping 2.58% while Argentina’s Merval tanked 6.13%. Bitcoin also took a hit, sliding 5.9% to $96,161 as volatility ramped up again. Gold continued its run, gaining 2.13% to a new record high at $2,900, while silver was up 1.62% to $31.89. Oil prices, on the other hand, dropped, with U.S. WTI crude down 2.15% to $71.00 and Brent falling 2.81% to $74.66. In Argentina, dry weather is wreaking havoc on crops, forcing the country to slash its grain production forecasts. Over in Europe, defense spending hit 1.9% of GDP last year, up 30% from 2021, but Trump wants NATO allies to go even further, pushing for a 5% target—something no country, not even the U.S., currently meets. Meanwhile, the Bank of England cut interest rates by 0.25%, bringing rates to 4.5% and hinting at more cuts ahead. In the U.S., factory activity expanded in January for the first time in over two years, but job creation wasn’t as strong as expected. Nonfarm payrolls rose by just 143,000, well below December’s 307,000. China, never one to back down from a tech fight, launched an antitrust probe into Google. In the markets, PayPal got crushed, falling 13.17% after reporting slowing growth in card processing, while Expedia soared 17.27% on strong earnings. Spotify had a big week, jumping 13.24% after posting its first full year of profitability, with net income hitting $1.18 billion. On the other hand, Google missed revenue expectations and fell 7.29%, though Alphabet still announced plans to invest $75 billion in AI next year. China is stepping up its trade war, placing new export controls on rare earth metals crucial for electronics and military equipment. It also slapped a 10% tariff on electric trucks coming from the U.S., which could be bad news for Tesla’s Cybertruck in China. In Greece, hundreds of people swarmed the port in Santorini after a string of earthquakes shook the region. Meanwhile, Greenland’s ruling party is pushing for an independence vote after the next general election. And here’s something to keep an eye on: Earth’s oceans are heating up faster than ever. Back in the late ‘80s, ocean temps were rising by about 0.06°C per decade. Now, that number has jumped to 0.27°C, with 2023 and early 2024 breaking records for 450 straight days. El Niño played a role, but the trend is hard to ignore.

February 3: Tariff Wars Begin, Planes Crashing Everywhere, Deepseek China AI War starts (Recap Ep301)

This week in the U.S. market, tech stocks tumbled as China’s DeepSeek AI model emerged as a major competitor, training at a fraction of the cost of U.S. rivals. Nvidia, which has dominated AI chip production, saw a staggering 17% drop. Markets also reacted to the Federal Reserve’s decision to pause its recent stretch of interest rate cuts, signaling that further reductions may not be imminent. Additionally, former President Trump reignited trade war concerns by reiterating a 25% tariff on imports from both Canada and Mexico. Meanwhile, Bitcoin dipped below $100,000, marking its lowest level in 11 days before bouncing back slightly above $99,000. Analysts linked the drop to investor caution following the Chinese AI surge, which triggered a selloff in Western AI-related stocks. Despite this, Trump Media saw a 6.76% gain after its parent company announced an expansion into financial services, including potential crypto investments. Economic news painted a grim picture for Germany, as its GDP declined by 0.2% in the final quarter of the year, marking a second consecutive annual contraction for Europe’s largest economy. On the political front, the U.S. froze nearly all foreign aid, making exceptions only for emergency food assistance and military funding for Israel, Egypt, and Turkey. Additionally, Trump retaliated against Colombia for rejecting U.S. deportation flights, imposing an initial 25% tariff on Colombian imports, which will increase to 50% within a week. Further measures include a travel ban, immediate visa revocations for Colombian officials, and financial sanctions under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA). In South Korea, former President Yoon Suk Yeol was indicted on charges of leading an insurrection after his short-lived martial law declaration in December, which sought to control media and ban political activity. Corporate developments included Nvidia’s worst trading day since March 2020, with shares plummeting 16.97% to $118.42 following weaker-than-expected revenue of $9.4 billion. UPS also suffered its worst session ever, with shares plunging 14.11% after announcing a revised agreement with Amazon that will reduce shipping volume by over 50% in the second half of 2026. Toyota remained the world’s top-selling automaker for the fifth consecutive year, selling 10.8 million vehicles in 2024, while Volkswagen reported a 2.3% decline in sales, falling to just over 9 million units. In technology news, Chinese startup DeepSeek surged to become the top-rated free app on Apple’s U.S. App Store, with its AI model surpassing Stability AI and OpenAI’s models in image generation benchmarks. In a fascinating scientific revelation, researchers at Utrecht University discovered two colossal “islands” hidden deep within Earth’s mantle, each the size of a continent. These regions, estimated to be at least 500 million years old, are significantly hotter than their surroundings and challenge long-standing theories about mantle convection. Rather than a rapidly flowing and well-mixed interior, this discovery suggests that Earth’s mantle has less movement than previously thought, reshaping our understanding of the planet’s inner dynamics. . At the end of the last century, an analysis of these oscillations showed the existence of 2 subsurface ‘super-continents’: one under Africa & the other one under the Pacific Ocean, both hidden over 2,000 kilometers (1,243 miles) below the Earth’s surface. These 2 large islands are surrounded by a graveyard of tectonic plates which have been transported there by a process called ‘subduction’, where 1 tectonic plate dives below another plate & sinks all the way from the Earth’s surface down to a depth of near 3,000 kilometers (1,864 miles).

These developments highlight the growing influence of the Trump brand in the crypto space. The gold & silver market is in a pivotal moment as Trump’s economic policies have revitalized & energized the landscape for precious metals. President Trump’s aggressive trade policies generated investor interest particularly in gold because gold’s ability as a strategic asset to offset the effect of higher inflation. Trump’s initial policy moves have been characterized by a series of bold executive actions, including proposed tariffs, immigration reforms & withdrawal from international agreements. These actions are creating ripple effects across financial markets, particularly in how investors perceive inflation hedges & safe-haven assets. The United States, the world’s biggest donor, froze virtually all foreign aid on Friday, making exceptions only for emergency food, & military funding for Israel & Egypt as well as Turkey. The sweeping order appears to affect everything from development assistance to military aid, including to Ukraine, which received billions of dollars in weapons under U.S. President Trump’s predecessor Joe Biden as it tries to repel a Russian invasion. Tuesday a record snowstorm hit Houston, New Orleans & many other towns & cities across the southern U.S., breaking snowfall records that have stood for +100 yrs. At least 9 people have died.
