PepsiCo just reported earnings. And buried inside a perfectly standard corporate press release was one of the most important sentences you'll hear about the American economy this year. CEO Ramon Laguarta said, and I'm quoting directly here: *"I think the consumer is worse than what we had anticipated, and it's driven mainly by gas prices."*That's not a fringe analyst. That's the chief executive of one of the largest consumer goods companies on the planet, a company that sells beverages and snacks to hundreds of millions of Americans every single quarter, telling you directly: something has changed. For one thing, credit card use dropped sharply, as we’ll see. Eurodollar University's Money & Macro Analysis--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Learn more about Augusta Precious Metals and what they have to offer - including physical gold for IRA accounts - by going to: https://EurodollarGold.com or text EURO to 35052. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------Webinar June 2026: Why Smart Investors Keep Missing Every Major Economic Turning PointIt isn't that they're buying the wrong assets.

HSBC just did something that should make everyone in credit markets stop and ask one very uncomfortable question. If there is nothing to worry about with private credit…why is one of world’s biggest banks pulling back from funding the funds that make it work? According to reporting from the Financial Times, HSBC has told some private credit borrowers that it will not renew their credit facilities. It is also refusing to provide “back leverage” to riskier funds. In plain English, HSBC is pulling back bigtime.Eurodollar University's Money & Macro Analysis----------------------------------------------------------------------------------What if your gold could actually pay you every month… in MORE gold?That’s exactly what Monetary Metals does.

Walmart is cutting prices on thousands of products, not doing the Fed’s inflation theory any favors. Coca-Cola. Pepsi. Laundry detergent. Lawn mowers. You name it. This is great news for consumers who have been hit with the gasoline shock. Here we have the biggest retailer in America lowering prices. The real story, though, is why Walmart is doing it. We’ve been warned by the markets and curves about what would happen once the tax refund money ran dry.  Eurodollar University's Money & Macro Analysis--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Learn more about Augusta Precious Metals and what they have to offer - including physical gold for IRA accounts - by going to: https://EurodollarGold.com or text EURO to 35052. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------Webinar June 2026: Why Smart Investors Keep Missing Every Major Economic Turning PointIt isn't that they're buying the wrong assets.

We just got a couple major updates that are connect some more dots on what is the biggest story in the global economy, all connecting to China. The oil market has undergone a radical – and I mean radical – change over the past few weeks. It first showed up last Thursday and is still going her today. Earlier this morning, Saudi Arabia comes out with a big announcement it is cutting the benchmark price of its oil for the first time since 2020. Those two together implicate Chinese oil demand and therefore its economy. Eurodollar University's Money & Macro Analysis----------------------------------------------------------------------------------What if your gold could actually pay you every month… in MORE gold?That’s exactly what Monetary Metals does.

Today, we’re looking at one of the most intense and surprising signals coming out of global markets right now: the oil curve has gone almost perfectly flat. That may sound technical, but it is a huge development. In a normal shortage environment, especially after the kind of historic supply disruption and record backwardation we just saw, near-term oil should trade at a sustained premium. Instead, in the space of just weeks, that curve has collapsed, twisting into a shape that is on the cusp of saying there’s too much oil.Eurodollar University's conversation w/Steve Van Metre--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Learn more about Augusta Precious Metals and what they have to offer - including physical gold for IRA accounts - by going to: https://EurodollarGold.com or text EURO to 35052. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------Webinar June 2026: Why Smart Investors Keep Missing Every Major Economic Turning PointIt isn't that they're buying the wrong assets.

The private credit bust is now starting to spread into AI and the AI buildout which up to now has been mostly financed by these shadow banks. The reason for it spreading is simple – the run on the shadow banks hasn’t abated at all, with our favorite sad bird the latest to disclose laughably huge withdrawal requests.

European banks are doing something that looks irrational, preparing for something big while the rest of the mainstream focuses on the wrong people. The European Central Bank just raised its policy rate a few weeks ago, and officials over there in Frankfurt are warning they may hike again as they’re still fixated on the inflation risk from the recent energy shock. The European banking system is not buying it, the inflation risk, the rate hikes, none of it. Literally not buying it. Eurodollar University's Money & Macro Analysis----------------------------------------------------------------------------------What if your gold could actually pay you every month… in MORE gold?That’s exactly what Monetary Metals does.
