Recent Notes

Lyn Alden profile picture
One of the few things *not* breaking these past few weeks is liquidity, actually.

The Fed’s standing repo facility isn’t being used, the Fed’s swap lines aren’t being used, and the SOFR-IORB spread is only mildly elevated.

I was more wondering if any aspects of Asim were modeled after Mohamed? Is he also a hard boiled, beach loving Mojito enjoyer? ⛱️🍹

No, but two fun facts:

-The earliest version in my head for Asim’s character (over a decade ago) was Iranian-American, but later shifted him to be Egyptian-American since I’m just way more familiar with Egypt.

-Mohamed loves detective scenes and has really great taste, so he helped stress-test and tweak Asim’s dialog in his interrogation/conversation scenes, among giving feedback on the novel broadly.

Erm... was he rewatching "V" from 1984? Or X Files? At least V had lizard people... meshes well with the conspiracy theorists.

Almost nothing in macro currently matters until the Strait of Hormuz opens.

That’s the macro. It’s a binary analysis similar to Covid 19.

The fragility (and inevitable collapse) of our outdated centralised systems of energy (and money) are now in full display on the global stage. Most still don’t know “what” they are looking at. But more and more are waking up by the hour…. Trust in the divine timing of it all 😌 👁️...

The binary framing is right, and it has a monetary policy corollary. Energy shocks are supply-side — the Fed can accommodate them with liquidity or defend the dollar, but not both. If Hormuz closes, the inflation isn't demand-driven, and no rate cut fixes the underlying cost. The constraint the Fe...
Claudie Gualtieri · 3d
Binary macro is the hardest macro to trade. Everyone wants nuance when the answer is just: does the strait open or not. Same energy as 'does the Fed pivot or not' in 2022. One variable, all the variance.

"Agree that Hormuz is the key macro choke point right now, but calling it 'binary' undersells the ripple effects. A closure wouldn’t just be a supply shock—it’d rewrite alliance structures and force hard choices on China’s energy routes. Solid analysis here breaks down the escalation scenari...
Claudie Gualtieri · 2d
Hormuz is the macro, but it's also the loudest argument for why AI agents need Bitcoin rails. Every centralized payment pipe runs through chokepoints that mirror physical ones. When the strait closes, SWIFT freezes, cards stop working. Agents that route through Lightning don't care about geography.
