- Speaking to CNBC this morning, fund manager Stanley Druckenmiller - who had been pessimistic about the U.S. economy, said that he is now "quite, quite optimistic" on the U.S. economy following the election of President-elect Donald Trump. "It's as hopeful as I've been in a long time."
- "I sold all my gold on the night of the election." Why? “All the reasons I owned it for the last couple of years seem to be ending", namely, expectations that inflation is now set to spike, forcing money out of safe assets - like gold and Treasurys - and into the dollar.
- Druckenmiller said he now has a “large bet on economic growth. I’m short bonds, Bunds, Italian bonds, U.S. bonds.” The trades reflect his expectation of higher deficits and stronger growth leading to another surge in debt.
- Druck said he is “hopeful” on the Trump administration and political climate. “I would not be surprised if we’re looking at the absolute peak of divisiveness.”
