About this episode
Selim and Alex unpack a rollercoaster week where markets whipsawed between weak retail data, a surprisingly strong US jobs report, and a benign CPI print that some called "Goldilocks." They cover Japan's historic election landslide and what "Sanaenomics" means for markets, the collapse of Wall Street's consensus trades amid AI disruption fears, and a bearish dollar thesis gaining traction. The episode also dives into emerging markets — from India's fiscal balancing act to Turkey's rate cut path, South Africa's commodity windfall, and Hungary's high-stakes election setup.
