The market always wins against ideology. Here are 5 proofs from this week's news:
-The EV Bubble Burst: Ford taking a $19.5B hit and pivoting to hybrids is the final nail in the coffin for the "forced" green transition. Consumers want practical value, not regulatory compliance.
-China is Investable... with Caution: The data shows China's crisis is structural, not cyclical. If your strategy relies on Chinese growth, it’s time to hedge against global deflation.
-Crypto just became "TradFi": JPMorgan on Ethereum isn't a revolution; it's an acquisition. Traditional finance is swallowing blockchain tech, integrating it into the old system, and leaving the "decentralized" dream behind.
-Physical Risks Return: The thwarted plot against Amazon shows that corporate security needs to look beyond cyber threats. Radical activism is targeting physical infrastructure again.
-The Cost of Dysfunction: Markets hate uncertainty, and the US government shutdown is blinding the Fed by withholding labor data. Political games are actively eroding trust in the Dollar and US institutions.
Which of these shifts impacts your strategy the most?
