from Fund@mental Weekly Review
Welcome to a new episode of the 0! This week, we unpack 7 market updates authored by Gustavo A. Cano to connect the dots between the Middle East conflict, global trade, and your portfolio. We discuss how the Washington drama over Trump's Fed nominee, Kevin Warsh, is a massive distraction from the active Iran oil blockade, which is already grounding UK flights due to sudden kerosene shortages. We explore the Fed's dilemma as it inherits a $7 trillion balance sheet, facing pressure to lower rates while an active oil shock fuels inflation. Furthermore, we look at the UAE begging the US for dollar swap lines due to fears of drone strikes, and how a denial could pivot them directly to China, which just posted a staggering $1.18 trillion trade surplus. Finally, we reveal the fragile choke point of Artificial Intelligence: how tech giants like TSMC and Samsung rely entirely on liquid helium traveling through the blockaded Strait of Hormuz. If this supply chain breaks, who really holds the global leverage?
