Today, we look at the equity and treasury markets holding their collective breath ahead of the FOMC tonight and what to watch for in the market's reaction today, noting that key incoming US macro data is in the mix as well. We also talk gold, the surge in silver and the crude outlook with Saxo Head of Commodity Strategy Ole Hansen. Also, one key listen for today asks the question of what would the market trajectory look like if AI causes unemployment rates to rise to 20%? Today's pod hosted by Saxo Global Head of Macro Strategy John J. Hardy.
