Today we look at markets in a fine mood since the Friday close as treasury yields failed to punch into destabilizing territory and crypto arrested its decline and bounced back after testing below key levels as well. The next focus this week is on the risk of a US government shutdown starting this Wednesday, together with the key first week of the month economic data. This and much more on today's pod, which is hosted by Saxo Global Head of Macro Strategy John J. Hardy. Links discussed on the podcast and our Chart of the Day can be found on the John J. Hardy substack (with a one- to two-hour delay from the time of the podcast release). Read daily in-depth market updates from the Saxo Market Call and the Saxo Strategy Team here.
