Mel Mattison returns to discuss his bullish market predictions for fall 2025, covering the Federal Reserve's dovish pivot and potential Treasury-Fed merger under Trump. The conversation explores China's strategic gold accumulation at the Shanghai Exchange, hidden weakness in native-born unemployment data, and why Mattison predicts ten rate cuts over twelve months. They analyze bond futures signals, housing market interventions including potential MAGA mortgages, and Scott Bessent's role in economic policy. The discussion covers Bitcoin and gold as inflation hedges, electricity price constraints from AI demand, and geopolitical tensions between America and China over monetary sovereignty.
