Episode notes
Fed Cuts Should Lower Long-Term Yields
- The Fed's rate cuts were largely priced in but will still push long-term yields down further.
- Lower long-term rates should support the economy and bond markets going forward.
Dollar Weakness Fuels Precious Metals
- Edmund expects the US dollar to weaken and the euro to strengthen to $1.24 in 12 months.
- A softer dollar plus falling rates is bullish for precious metals, with targets of $4,000/oz for gold and $50/oz for silver.
Prefer Chinese Tech Over Magnificent Seven
- The Magnificent Seven carry very high valuations and heavy AI investment that may produce subnormal returns.
- Chinese tech is cheaper, efficient in AI spending, and leads in areas like batteries and robotics, making it preferable.
