“There’s a beast in the market,” says Larry McDonald, that “wants more meat.” He notes that after hitting the debt ceiling in January, we’ve “issued no new debt,” but after the ceiling is raised under Trump, he expects another major bond issuance. He sees creeping weakness in the economy and thinks we’ll see 50 basis points in rate cuts before year end. He also forecasts a major shift in the market from “paper assets” to “hard assets, including energy and materials critical for AI growth."

Markets are rallying, but Larry McDonald says it’s time to raise cash. In an interview with Kitco News, McDonald - founder of The Bear Traps Report - issues a “HIGH” cash alert, warning that the current surge resembles the short-covering blowoffs of 2000–2001. He says the U.S. is heading toward a rare “two-terms, two-recessions” scenario, as credit stress builds, tariffs tighten, and consumer delinquencies hit all-time highs.
