In Macro Voices Episode 488, Erik Townsend interviews Lyn Alden about the dominance of fiscal policy over monetary policy in shaping market outcomes. Lyn argues that large fiscal deficits and existing debt levels make fiscal policy more impactful than interest rate adjustments. She suggests investors should adopt a "run it hot" portfolio strategy, favoring equities over bonds, particularly international equities and under-owned sectors, while also including precious metals and Bitcoin. They discuss the implications of President Trump's fiscal policies, energy sector dynamics, and the potential for an energy squeeze in the late 2020s. The conversation also covers the financial sector, Bitcoin's evolving role, and strategies for hedging against economic uncertainties. Patrick Ceresna joins in the postgame segment to discuss the Macro Scoreboard, analyzing the S&P 500, U.S. dollar index, oil, gold, copper, uranium, and Treasury yields, providing technical analysis and market outlook.
