(By Taylor and Mary Molina from Miami) In an unexpected turn of events, the world was shaken this Wednesday: Donald Trump announced an agreement with Vladimir Putin to initiate peace negotiations in Ukraine. The announcement, coming after a prisoner swap between Russia and the United States, marks a radical shift in U.S. foreign policy and raises more questions than answers.

Key Points:

  1. Crucial Phone Call: Trump and Putin held a phone conversation and agreed to "work together, very closely" to end the conflict in Ukraine.

  2. Immediate Negotiations: Teams from both countries will begin peace talks "immediately."

  3. Ukraine's Role in Question: It remains unclear what role Ukraine will play in the negotiations, despite being the directly affected country.

  4. Criticism of NATO: Trump, through his Secretary of Defense, questioned the possibility of Ukraine joining NATO, contradicting the Biden-era stance.

  5. Prisoner Swap as a Prelude: The release of American professor Marc Fogel by Russia paved the way for the announcement.

Tips for Understanding the New Landscape:

  • Caution Amidst Uncertainty: It's too early to determine if Trump's announcement will translate into a concrete peace agreement.

  • Attention to International Reaction: The international community, especially NATO allies, is watching Trump's moves closely and cautiously.

  • Impact on the 2024 Elections: Trump's stance on Ukraine and Russia will be a central issue in the presidential campaign.

Un colapso del tribalismo fanático ideológico está atacando (y matando) a todo lo que se enfrente a la militancia de izquierda (¿Por qué?)

(Por una cocreación junto Ristretto, con Taylor-Molina-Alonso-Maurizio) Imagine que su cerebro tiene un interruptor tribal. Cuando se activa, su córtex prefrontal —sede del razonamiento— se apaga, y la amígdala —centro del miedo— toma el control. Este mecanismo, descrito por el neurocientífico Marco Iacoboni en "Mirroring People", es el arma secreta del populismo del siglo XXI.

Impacto mundial: ¿por qué acciones y oro marcan máximos históricos en un mundo que teme el alza de tasas? (cuando las malas noticias… son buenas)

(Por Taylor desde Silicon Beach) Los máximos históricos simultáneos de renta variable y oro no reflejan optimismo económico; al contrario: celebran el temor. En los mercados modernos, la probabilidad de recortes de tipos por parte de la Reserva Federal y otros bancos centrales convierte las noticias macroeconómicas negativas en catalizadores alcistas. Paradójicamente hay mucho de positivo en todo esto, y no.
