Mixed Signals: Assessing U.S. Recession Risks Amid Diverging Markets

Hedge fund manager David Neuhauser believes that someone is mistaken about the likelihood of a U.S. recession, as markets show conflicting signals. While recent jobs data and inflation figures have boosted hopes of avoiding a recession, Neuhauser points to weaknesses in the U.S. consumer and the global economy, as well as stubbornly high inflation numbers in various countries. He notes that oil and gold markets are indicating a recession, while analysts and economists suggest a soft landing for the U.S. economy. Neuhauser concludes that it is unclear who is correct and is waiting to determine the right path to take.

Supreme Court's Potential Blow to SEC's Power and Trump's Administrative State Agenda

The Supreme Court is signaling support for a hedge fund manager, George Jarkesy, who claims that the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) violated his constitutional rights by using in-house judges instead of a jury to decide if he broke the law. This case has broader implications for the government's ability to enforce regulations and weaken the "administrative state." The conservative justices expressed skepticism towards the Biden administration's argument that securities fraud enforcement falls under the executive branch's enforcement role. The liberal justices were more sympathetic to the government's position. The decision, along with other cases before the court, is expected to be decided in the middle of next year's presidential election.

Kupperman prefers investments in the real economy and is bullish on uranium, anticipating a super-spike in its price due to a future shortage. He also warns of potential trouble in the banking sector and expects a giant sector rotation rather than a stock market crash.
