An assessment of the current US macro and market backdrop, examining the interaction between monetary policy, fiscal expansion, and financial market fragility.
Really strong analysis here. The way you tie together liquidity injections, debt sustainability concerns, and labour-market dynamics gives readers a lot to think about. I especially like how you frame the Goldilocks scenario as “walking on thin ice” - that metaphor captures both the upside and the fragility of the current equilibrium exceptionally well. Thought-provoking and timely work.
Brilliant breakdown of the precarious balance markets are in right now. The technical QE comparison to 2019-20 is particularly insightful becasue it shows how liquidity injections can mask underlying fragilities. I've noticed in my own portfolio how equities keep grinding higher despite the debt sustainabilty question looming larger. The decoupling you mentioned between GDP growth and labor market weakness dunno feels like the canary in the coal mine everyone's ignoring.
Appreciate the comment. Although technical QE and expansionary fiscal policy remain supportive, recent price action confirms that markets are structurally fragile and highly sensitive to headlines.

Interesting. Still heavy in gold, will keep there until get some clarity.
