Art as a Volatility Hedge & Unpacking the U.S./UK Trade Deal (May 9, 2025)

In this Friday episode of Market Outsiders, hosts Namaan and Jenny Rae dive into the economics of art auctions and the newly announced U.S.-UK trade deal. They explore why the $952 million Christie's and Sotheby's auctions matter, despite art's exclusion from GDP, and challenge the narrative of art as a safe haven for investors.Namaan also critiques the U.S.-UK trade deal, noting the persistence of 10% baseline tariffs and specific carve-outs, like reduced tariffs on luxury vehicles, signaling a shift from expected free trade.More Market Outsiders:Connect with Namaan and Jenny Rae on LinkedInFollow Management Consulted on LinkedIn and subscribe on YouTube
