Andrew Almeida and James Kaufman discuss why market stability remains the base case despite geopolitical tension and shifting Federal Reserve expectations. They explain how oil prices may create near‑term pressure, while artificial intelligence and resilient A.I. infrastructure provide longer‑term disinflationary support. The conversation also covers labor‑market stability, Bitcoin’s evolving role as a payment network, and the importance of diversification through metals and cash amid ongoing volatility.
