US households with assets are thriving:

Equities and mutual funds held by US households reached 307% of disposable income in Q2 2025, marking an all-time high.

Since Q4 2019, this share has risen by 43 points, far outpacing the growth in disposable income.

Over the same period, real estate as a share of disposable income climbed 33 points, reaching 216%.

When pension fund entitlements and other assets are included, total household assets have surged to a record 835% of disposable income.

BREAKING: Silver prices have reached parity with oil for the first time since the 1980s.

A single ounce of silver is now valued at $63.80, which is $6.50 higher than a barrel of WTI Crude Oil priced at $57.30.

For context, in mid-2022 WTI Crude traded at 5.5 times the price of silver.

Since then, silver has surged by 206%, while oil has declined by 44%.

WTI Crude is heading toward its weakest annual performance since the 2020 pandemic slump, down 20%, whereas silver is on track for its strongest year since 1979, up 115%.

This marks a significant macroeconomic turning point.

The US labor market is slowing sharply:

The total nonfarm hiring rate dropped by 0.2 percentage points in October, reaching 3.2%—its lowest level since the 2020 pandemic trough.

Over the past four years, this rate has fallen by 1.4 percentage points, now matching levels last seen in December 2008.

In contrast, during the 2001 recession, the hiring rate remained considerably higher, between 3.7% and 4.0%.

Additionally, the private hiring rate declined to 3.5% in October, its lowest since January 2011 and consistent with the 2020 lows.

The US labor market has effectively stalled.

Market liquidity is rising sharply:

- The Treasury General Account (TGA) fell by -$78 billion over the past week, marking the largest liquidity injection since June.
- The TGA serves as the U.S. government’s primary cash account at the Federal Reserve. When it declines, funds flow directly into the financial system, increasing liquidity.
- This represents the fourth-largest weekly drop of the year.

At the same time:
- The Federal Reserve plans to purchase approximately $40 billion in Treasuries between December 12th and January 14th as part of its reserve management operations.
- In addition, the Fed will deploy about $14.4 billion in principal payments from its Mortgage-Backed Securities (MBS) holdings to acquire Treasury bills during the same period.

A significant wave of fresh liquidity is now entering the system.

Hedge funds now hold an unprecedented amount of global government debt:

- Their sovereign debt holdings have climbed to a record $7 trillion.
- The bulk of this is in U.S. Treasuries, which account for $4.2 trillion, or roughly 60% of the total.
- Hedge funds’ exposure to U.S. public debt has tripled since 2018.
- With federal debt surging, regulatory limits have prevented banks from expanding their holdings as rapidly as hedge funds.
- This dynamic increases the risk of sudden, large-scale bond sales during market crises, when hedge funds must raise cash quickly—as witnessed in 2008 and 2020.

The financial system is more leveraged than ever before.
