## Resource

In this podcast, Tony Greer and Jared Dillian kick off the year by breaking down geopolitics, markets, and sector leadership after the Venezuela regime change and Trump’s latest global power move. They discuss Latin America rallying, crude oil sliding, transportation and defense stocks breaking out, semiconductors and broker-dealers hitting new highs, and why quiet, range-bound bonds are still the green light for equities. The conversation shifts to uranium’s breakout following new U.S. energy funding, the Bloomberg Commodity Index rebalance, and its implications for gold, silver, oil, and cocoa, as well as copper reaching new highs. It also explores why the “great rotation” into commodities may be underway again. They also debate the dollar outlook, early-year positioning, and how traders actually make money when consensus gets crowded. Last 30 SPOST left - https://tgmacro.com/conference/
