On “Markets Daily,” Tom Schmidt, General Partner at Dragonfly, discusses market pricing, indicating a 0% probability of a rate cut in June. He and Sanasie delve into the disappointing performance of Hong Kong ETFs compared to US ETFs, highlighting the former’s role as an accessible vehicle for Bitcoin investment endorsed by regulators. Despite Hong Kong’s crypto-friendly environment, ETF inflows are slowing in both Hong Kong and the U.S., with investors shifting toward lower-cost options to reduce fees and improve returns. The conversation anticipates a potentially more hawkish tone from the upcoming Fed meeting but remains optimistic about controlling inflation. They also touch on conflicting views regarding inflation and rate cuts, noting external pressures favoring lower rates to stimulate the economy.
