Analysts are pointing to President Trump’s nomination of Kevin Warsh as the next Federal Reserve chair as one of the main catalysts behind the recent market selloff. Charles-Henry Monchau, CIO at Syz Group, summed it up pretty bluntly: markets are heavily dependent on liquidity, and right now that’s where the stress is showing. At the same time, oil took a hit down roughly 5% on Monday after Trump said the U.S. and Iran are “seriously talking,” which eased some supply shock fears. Feels like a mix of monetary policy uncertainty and geopolitics hitting risk assets at once. Curious how others are reading this short-term noise, or something more structural starting to show up?
