The core thesis remains fiscal dominance: rising federal interest costs may sustain household spending even as they make inflation less responsive to conventional rate policy. That leaves the Fed facing pressure to ease and reshape its operating framework, a setup seen as hostile to long-duration bonds and supportive of $GLD. AI is framed as an added fiscal strain, competing for capital while potentially weakening the tax base needed to finance the Treasury.

Fiscal & Treasury
HIGHER
US fiscal pressures are becoming increasingly important for markets, reinforcing a long-standing fiscal-dominance thesis rather than a fresh call. Year
Held
AI
BEARISH
AI increasingly competes with Treasury financing for capital, while its development nonlinearly undermines the tax base supporting fiscal capacity. Year
TLT
BEARISH
Long bonds face a potentially terrible multi-decade outcome in real terms, echoing the prolonged historical erosion suffered after late-nineteenth-century monetary conflict. Year
Fed Policy
EASIER
Fed policy should cut rates and interest on bank reserves to zero while funding debt buybacks with 0% Treasury bills. Year
GLD
BULLISH
Gold should surge under a zero-rate policy framework, followed by revaluation of official US holdings at a much higher price. Year
Growth
HIGHER
US federal interest payments of roughly $2 trillion annually could support growth as Boomer households rapidly spend the income, offsetting restrictive-rate effects. Year
Inflation
HIGHER
Inflation could rise alongside interest rates under fiscal dominance, reversing the conventional expectation that higher rates restrain price pressures. Year
Fed Policy
EASIER
Fed policy faces an eventual choice to cut rates, as further hikes would bring near-term pain and risk an Argentine-style inflation outcome. Month
