There are 2 important pieces of news this morning. The first one is Oklahoma City Thunder won the NBA championship title for the first time as they defeated the Indiana Pacers in Game 7 of the NBA Finals last night. An impressively tied & undecisive series won by a young but true and mature team… […]
Today’s my editorial title is a reference to the Public Enemy 1990’s hit song (911 is a joke), which still resonates 35 years later… So get up, get, get, get down. 899 is a joke in yo town. As the One Big Beautiful Bill Act is currently debated and will likely be amended in the […]
Welcome to June! Looking back, I hope you didn’t sell in May -or at least not at the very beginning of last month as the US S&P500 index just experienced its best month of May since… 1990. The 2 main reasons behind the surprising sharp rebound of risk-on assets have been (1) a much better […]
No miracle for the Cagliari Calcio -and subsequently for Inter Milan fans- last Friday evening as my favorite team lost “logically” against the Napoli. However, its “sustainability” in Serie A was already in the cards. The sustainability story has been somewhat less rosy as far as US government debt is concerned last week on the […]
Let’s start with the good news… Cagliari Calcio will remain in Serie A next season after a brilliant 3-0 victory against Venezia yesterday, concluded by a splendid 3rd goal. Before that we got the US-China „deal“ agreement in Geneva last week, which basically brings a 90 days relief and renewed hopes for a long-term deal […]
The chaos over US tariffs that Donald Trump and his administration unleashed since their infamous “Liberation Days” has raised fundamental questions about the risk premium on US assets, especially on US Treasuries, and the role of the US dollar within the global economy and international financial system. The continuous ascent of gold is among the […]
Apart my birthday and a spring-like weather, there was not much to celebrate recently… The announcement of reciprocal tariffs was worse than expected, both in terms of the percentages announced (higher than expected) and the method of calculation (a simplistic and arbitrary formula that further discredits the Trump administration), stock markets have been falling ever […]
While uncertainty clouds the economic outlook and heckles the markets ahead of the announcement of US reciprocal tariffs, the skies seem to be clearing for Cagliari Calcio… thanks to its victory over Monza yesterday. With a 6-point lead over first-to-be-relegated, Empoli, a win against the latter next week-end would virtually guarantee their survival in Serie […]
In the same way that national soccer interests in Europe have taken precedence over the respective national championships due to the Nation’s League games and subsequent qualification to the next World Cup, my usual weekly editorial has morphed into a broader, more comprehensive and pragmatic, I hope, summary of our latest monthly strategy meeting held […]
Another respectable defeat for Cagliari Calcio (0-1 against “King Claudio” Ranieri’s Roma), another mortifying defeat for Juventus (0-3 against Fiorentina). While my beloved club remains above the fateful relegation bar, the Old Lady sees a qualifying place for the next Champion’s league slipping away for the time being. In both cases, a “bomber” is urgently […]
After another creditable defeat against Bologna yesterday, Cagliari Calcio is now stagnating in the Serie A standings, hovering just above the fateful relegation zone. Like my beloved red & blue club, the same seems to be true of the US economy, where the latest figures have for once rather surprised on the downside, particularly as […]
