Recent proof-backed thesis calls
Recent internal calls discuss three themes: (1) sanctions and de‑dollarization rhetoric boosting modest demand for defensive assets; (2) macro narratives about China’s problems weighing on sentiment, supporting a sell view on FXI; and (3) a tactical tilt toward defensive assets as geopolitical and currency narratives intensify.
Interview/podcast with economist and author of Confessions of an Economic Hit Man John Perkins. The discussion is broadly ideological: effects of unpredictable US policy under Donald Trump on the global economy, the US–China trade war, prospects for the dollar and bitcoin, the role of the IMF/World Bank/UN, and themes about resource competition and 'economic hit men.' No new facts, decisions, or data—primarily macro commentary and a narrative about rising geopolitical and currency risk.
This appears to be an announcement/discussion of an interview (Vasiliy Oleynik — 'Dengi ne spyat') with Nikolay Vavilov on Russia’s dependence on China and risks tied to problems in China’s economy/politics. The text contains no concrete facts, figures, corporate news, or a clear trading catalyst—mainly a macro narrative for risk assessment.
Long-form interview (mostly macro/political commentary) with a former Russian Ministry of Finance adviser / ex‑J.P. Morgan Russia executive touching on: European sanctions/anti‑Russian energy policy, potential pressure on the EU from Trump, skepticism about reported inflation/Central Bank policy, and the impact of large US import tariffs in the US‑China rivalry. No concrete new policy action, data release, or company‑specific catalyst is presented in the excerpt.
