I think the Fed can cut rates, but until then you got yield levels. You can get it down faster and more aggressively than where they are today.

We do think the fed does get underway. That recalibration that was hibernating comes out of hibernation. And they begin cutting in September. Given the expectation of the Federal Reserve starting rate cuts in September due to slowing labor market and inflation data, yields are expected to move sharply down in the short term.

So, they're ready to come down. I think they'll cut here in September. Probably again later in the year. And as I said last time, I think you could continue that into next year. So, you probably get a 100 basis points by this time next year.

No, I'm keeping the money in the market. You know, we have we're juggling balls just fine. And I think you can get yourself all distracted by, you know, just the sheer velocity of change that's happening here. But if you look at the details and look at those different balls and look at the skills of the jugglers involved here, how can you not be invested?

ndx

So I think that's normal. I expect it to we've said that third quarter. We think this is the best chance we could have for some correction or moderation, if you will. But I want to be very clear, it's still early in the new bull market.

We still are big believers in the tech story. The AI story is only gaining momentum.

I think the same dynamics which have us setting those record highs almost on a weekly basis are alive and well. Gold miners are starting to outperform and have operational leverage, generating massive free cash flow, leading to major upgrades.

I would suspect that the gold price gain may very well mirror the decline in the purchasing power of the US dollar. If the US dollar loses 75% of its purchasing power, one would expect gold to mirror that on the upside.

we continue to expect higher gold prices over the course of this year into next year because we don't see those political and economic factors changing Strong investment demand driven by economic and political uncertainty is keeping gold and silver prices elevated, and open interest data shows market participants expect high and volatile prices to continue through the medium term.
