"I think a key challenge with the Powell struggle is that the supporters of President Trump even the well educated smart non-finance tech bros seem convinced that the Fed cutting rates equals rates falling across maturities. That a stubborn Fed is the only force holding rates up. Thats just not true. The Fed isnt the reason why 30y is at 5%. Fiscal policy is. But such nuances are really difficult to convey esp in a highly politically charged environment with very little mutual trust for good faith debates"

"Sorry. I didn't mean long yields rose last year after the Sep cuts bc of fiscal policy. It was due to the reasons you laid out that the Fed (and the rest of us) got fooled by a growth scare as evidenced by the plunging 10y. I was more speaking of the rising long yields since the passage of OBBB. Again evidence is thin and not definitive. Different theories abound. I've also said repeatedly that I expect bond yields to fall first before rising bc the cyclical (slowing economy) always beats the secular (unsustainable fiscal outlook)"

"Interesting write-up of experience in China. Ive heard at least two Americans being similarly impressed if not blown away after visiting China for the first time (in many years). I think the way they were impressed comes down to two dimensions: social decorum and infrastructure. Neither of these is unique to China and much more common across advanced East Asian countries such as Japan Korea Singapore and even Taiwan. They were likely impressed particularly due to a presumption of China being poorer and less developed than those countries. Chinese cities are clean and they certainly took great"

"I think a key challenge with the Powell struggle is that the supporters of President Trump even the well educated smart non-finance tech bros seem convinced that the Fed cutting rates equals rates falling across maturities. That a stubborn Fed is the only force holding rates up. Thats just not true. The Fed isnt the reason why 30y is at 5%. Fiscal policy is.

"👀 @elonmusk seemingly endorses @GavinSBakers very interesting idea of Apple+xAI partnership. Apple has a top distribution network (iPhone users) bar none but no credible AI solutions. They missed train started late continued to face delays. I was expecting them to acquire a top AI lab a year ago. Alas they seemed to want to do it in-house which is vintage Apple but also proving very difficult so far. Foundational models are not commoditized after all. xAI on the other hand is easily one of the top AI models but similarly suffers from a late start hence falling behind ChatGPT and from Elons"

"Underneath the US dollar its a vast USD-denominated financial technology and services architecture which one needs the dollar to access. Just as one needs NVidia GPUs to use CUDA. The US dollar is a financial technology. Thats why trade and financial transactions are conducted in dollars bc its cheaper risk capital and convenient. Bitcoin by extension the crypto complex is a novel development as an alternative for a narrow but growing set of functions of the dollar. But even there very quickly USD stablecoins came online as a natural use case proving theres still vast unmet demand for access"

"Overall net tariffs may well be deflationary bc its a net and regressive tax that discourages imports incl intermediate goods so in that sense its possible overall demand is lower. Also the US economy was already slowing so this tax slows it further. But theres no intentionally consistent intellectual framework/model that says tariffs lead to lower prices over the long run bc of efficiency gains. You are putting on a constraint The goalpost moving nature of the tariff advocates is quite apparent. The reality is that they want less trade and are willing to impose a cost on the consumers in"
