Key Takeaways

Bitcoin rose to $126,000 amid Trump-related political support and expectations for a strategic reserve, with short covering and Strategy’s activity also cited as support. It later fell by half, bounced, and weakened again in a recent selloff.
AI investment could require tens of trillions of dollars, but limited savings and higher borrowing costs could make it harder to finance and divert resources from other uses. Easy financing has fueled capacity expansion even as revenue per user weakens and pricing faces pressure.
Canadian five-year mortgage rates rose from about 1.3% to more than 4.5%, while home prices were put at 8.9 times Canadian median household income. The warning is that mortgage rates near 8% could reach 9% by year-end, and a home-price crash could trigger defaults and a financial crisis.

GEO-POLITICS

America First — The United States is moving away from the rules-based order toward an America First posture, changing how it engages with the world. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has called the postwar order obsolete and the international system broken.

TECHNOLOGY

AI Investment — AI investment could require tens of trillions of dollars, but limited savings and higher borrowing costs could make it difficult to finance and divert resources from other uses. Easy financing and investor demand have fueled capacity expansion as revenue per user weakens and pricing faces pressure, potentially signaling a late-stage cycle.

ECONOMY

Inflation Measures — CPI was said to understate consumer-price increases after methodology changes, with shelter making up roughly one-third to 40% of the index. The view is that pandemic-era low rates fueled inflation in housing, autos, and consumer goods, while higher rates could bring disinflation and deflation in some areas.

U.S. Debt — Scott Bessent shifted from saying the administration would pay down unsustainable debt to saying it would grow out of the problem. The warning is that at $50 trillion in debt and 8% interest, annual interest would reach $4 trillion, potentially driving deficits to $6 trillion and requiring more than 100% of tax revenue to cover interest.

MARKETS

Bitcoin Outlook — Bitcoin rose to $126,000 amid Trump-related political support and expectations for a strategic Bitcoin reserve; short covering, Strategy’s activity and a broader technology move were also cited as support. It fell by half, bounced, then weakened again in a recent selloff.

Gold And Silver — Gold rose from about 2,000 to 5,000 before retreating to around 4,000, while silver climbed from $30 to $125 and pulled back to around $60. After gains over about a year and a half, reported declines were roughly 30%-35% for gold and 50%-plus for silver; silver rising above roughly $74 was cited as a possible bottom signal.

FORECASTS

Housing Affordability — Canadian five-year mortgage rates rose from about 1.3% to more than 4.5%, while home prices are 5.2 times U.S. median household income and 8.9 times Canada's. Mortgage rates were near 8%, with a forecast they could reach 9% by year-end, and a warning that a home-price crash could trigger defaults and a financial crisis.
