In this commentary, the speaker explains that former President Donald Trump has announced a $200 billion buyback of mortgage bonds, which the speaker characterizes as Trump’s own version of quantitative easing. The immediate effect is expected to be modest, with short‑term market price action remaining sideways and choppy. However, the speaker argues that the increased liquidity from this policy will create medium‑to‑long‑term bullish pressure on risk‑on assets, including equities and crypto, especially as Trump seeks to showcase economic leadership ahead of the November midterm elections. The overall narrative is that while short‑term movements may be muted, the policy will expand the balance sheet, boost investment, and benefit risk‑on assets later in the year.

Chapters

Trump has now announced that he's basically starting his own quantitative easing, his own version of it. He's buying back $200 billion of mortgage bonds, injecting that into the economy instantly. I think this is a big thing that people are underestimating this year, that although the short term is sideways, choppy, and we do believe that in the short term, you know, there's. The price action is going to be a little bit quiet in the medium to long term. This big drive towards the midterms, they're in November this year, Trump is going to want to be at the, the forefront of the economy. He's wanting to have a positive attitude. He's going to want to have everything happening for him and all the attention around him, which is going to really push him to do great things for the economy, for investment, for risk on assets, which includes basically creating his own quantitative easing. So I believe, again, in the short term, things are heading a little bit sideways, but the medium to long term, later in the year, we are driving that balance sheet greater. It's great for risk on assets, more liquidity, more investments, more money is great for expanding risk on assets like crypto.
