🇪🇺 Europe must actively redirect household savings into European equities.

EU household wealth grew only 55% between 2009 and 2023, versus 151% in the US, partly because Europeans invest far less in equities.

Half of euro-area households’ equity holdings finance companies outside the EU

The strongest incentives are tax advantages (55.6%), accessible investment products (53.5%) and financial education (52.3%).

Europe needs tax-advantaged accounts, investment education and simple products supported by a real Capital Markets Union.

This would unlock trillions in financing for European companies and multiply household wealth over time.

You probably didn't even know about the press release the Bank of International Settlements just dropped (linking it below).

TLDR:

The BIS is now panicking over stablecoin privacy because the transparent ledger reveals banks' exact positions to the entire market.

So let me get this straight:

Banks loved the blockchain when it gave them instant settlement and zero friction.

But they are completely terrified now that the information asymmetry is gone.

For decades the entire legacy banking cartel relied on the fact that they could see YOUR cards while hiding theirs.

Now they want the efficiency of the open protocol combined with the opacity of the old boys' club.

They are going to spend billions trying to rebuild the dark pools on-chain.

Clown world behavior.

UK government choices for Chancellor:

Ed Miliband: zero private sector economics or financial experience.

Wes Streeting: zero private sector economics or financial experience.

Shabana Mahmood: zero private sector economics or financial experience.

America's equivalent....

Scott Bessent: Founded his own macro hedge fund, was CIO at Soros Fund Management, 30 years managing global capital

Comedic contrast. The UK has a political competency crisis

Changing the PM does not solve any of the UK's problems, untill britain accepts that its problems are structural rather than personal the same cycle will continue

Yet another warning to watch your exposure in pensions, insurers, banks, and 401k’s.

A big European fund run by Bain Capital, a major private equity player, defaulted on its riskiest bottom slice of a big loan bundle (CLO)

The first one like this in Europe since the post-2008 fixes.

I am reading so much doom and gloom about oil inventories running out in 10 days and this is generational buy opportunity.

To which my question is this . This most sophisticated funds, managers , traders with access to the most expensive data in the world are not buying the market . Why ???????

Because very clearly the data does not warrant it. There are a few possible reasons why oil keeps sinking ;

1. A deal is incoming that opens the straight
2. Demand destruction
3. Shipping is exiting straight dark
4. Oil supply ramping up to fill supply gap

All or some of the above may or may not be true . What is 100% true is the smartest most informed are not buying it . That is all that matters. Don’t overthink the why . And please don’t repost the doomed tweets because they clearly are bait and not factual .

Until the smart ones stop selling and start buying , it’s best to read between the lines rather then imposing your beliefs on market . It will turn out to be a lot cheaper

[The Kobeissi Letter @KobeissiLetter]

Talk about a turn of events.

Exactly 9 days ago, President Trump said a deal with Iran was coming “shortly.”

Today, Iran has officially backed out of all negations with the US and is threatening to block both the Strait of Hormuz and Bab el-Mandeb.

It’s going to be an eventful month.

@ZFXtrading What's the ticket for this Miad?

[jag @TraderJL2]

@TorayKortan Agreed when capital rotates this hard into one theme (AI, memory, infra) everything else underperforms. Blockchain/tokenisation infra is underperforming because it's out of the narrative cycle right now, not because the fundamentals are broken
