Summary
Welcome back to another episode of Money Moves with hosts Matty A. and Ryan Breedwell. The macro backdrop might look fragile, but the markets are ripping higher. Are we witnessing a masterclass in market psychology?
This week, Matty and Ryan break down the wild week of trading, the reality behind Trump's posturing in the Middle East, and why JP Morgan just posted record profits off the geopolitical volatility. Plus, breaking news: Jerome Powell is officially stepping down, July rate cuts are back on the table, and Matty makes a massive announcement regarding the launch of his new debt fund.
Episode Highlights
The War "Head Fake": How the market shrugged off the US-Iran conflict, erasing losses and surging higher on ceasefire rumors and strategic blockades.
JP Morgan’s Masterclass: JPM posted a record $11.6 billion in trading revenue for Q1. What this means for institutional confidence and the retail investors trying to time the market.
Powell is Out: Jerome Powell has officially announced he is stepping down. Ryan breaks down why this all but guarantees a dovish replacement and a rate cut by July.
Real Estate Reality Check: The US is short 10 million single-family homes, but the commercial sector is facing major distress with rising "deeds in lieu."
- Fund Launch: Matty A. officially announces the SEC filing of the Amagos Income Fund, a private debt fund targeting 10% fixed returns paid monthly.
