This week on Macro Mondays, the team breaks down a packed week in global markets - from Trump’s new trade deal with China and growing military tension in Venezuela, to the Fed’s pivot away from quantitative tightening amid record US debt. James Todd, Will Cunliffe,and Spyridon Kokas explore whether the AI boom led by OpenAI and NVIDIA is turning into a bubble, why Buffett’s $380B cash pile signals caution, and how Europe’s stagnation and rising oil volatility could shape markets ahead. Plus, they dive into gold’s $4,000 floor, the S&P’s shaky rally, and what traders should watch as recession risks resurface.

Key highlights include:

✅ US-China agree on new trade deal

✅ Trump to attack Venezuela?

✅ Euro Area struggles

✅ S&P trends higher thanks to AI, but elsewhere stocks struggle
