Ash Bennington sits down with Jonathan Gould, U.S. Comptroller of the Currency, to break down the OCC’s final rule implementing its portion of the GENIUS Act. Gould explains how the new federal framework will regulate payment stablecoin issuers, including reserve requirements, redemption liquidity, supervision, and the application process beginning January 18. They also discuss stablecoin rewards and yield, cross-border payments, U.S. dollar dominance, and why the administration sees digital assets as an opportunity to modernize the American financial system.

Andreas Steno of Steno Research is flying solo on this week's Macro Mondays, breaking down the latest inflation signals and what they mean for the market outlook. With energy prices and input costs rising, is another inflation shock on the horizon — and could Kevin Warsh be focusing on the wrong inflation measure? Andreas also examines the latest business cycle data, why he's not ready to turn bearish on equities just yet, and what renewed pressure in France's bond market could mean for European investors.

Andreas Steno and Mikkel Rosenvold are back to tackle the question that matters most for markets right now: are we still mid-cycle, or are the warning signs of a late-cycle economy starting to pile up? They also head to Europe, where surging French bond yields, political uncertainty, and renewed concerns over the country’s finances are putting pressure on French assets. Is the turmoil a genuine warning for investors — or exactly the kind of dislocation you should be buying?

With the Fed having hiked, yields elevated, and oil moving lower, are the conditions falling into place for another leg higher?
