As we navigate through 2026, the global economy is no longer operating under the old rules of "efficiency first." We have entered the era of 'Security Capitalism,' a structural shift where national survival dictates capital allocation. While many still view the defense industry through the lens of short-term geopolitical conflict, my latest analysis suggests a much deeper, permanent transformation is underway. The Arctic sovereignty disputes and the race for northern sea routes have fundamentally altered the defense spending trajectories of major powers. We are seeing average defense spending exceed a critical percentage of GDP—a threshold that historically triggers a massive, decade-long CapEx cycle. However, the real question isn't whether budgets are growing, but where the profit is actually migr...

Executive Summary
The November FOMC meeting revealed the clearest hints yet of a potential Fed pivot in early 2025. With inflation cooling, labor-market pressure easing, and forward guidance subtly shifting, global markets are pricing in an accelerated rate-cut timeline. This shift could reshape U.S. liquidity, global capital flows, and emerging-market risk premiums.
1. Key Insights
The Fed’s tone shifted from “higher for longer” → “data-dependent easing.”
Core PCE inflation is now moving firmly toward the 2% target.
Bond markets are pricing 2–3 cuts in 2025, earlier than previously expected.
Financial conditions have tightened enough to substitute for further hikes.
Global EM currencies may stabilize as U.S. rate-cut expectations strengthen.
2. What Changed After the November FOMC?
2.1 A Softer Tone from Powell
For the first time in months, Powell emphasized that “the risks of doing too much and too little are becoming more balanced.”
This is the classic early language of a pivot cycle.
2.2 Cooling Inflation = Policy Space
Core PCE falling toward 2.4% gives the Fed freedom to pause without fear of renewed inflation spikes.
2.3 Labor Market No Longer Overheating
Job openings have declined for seven consecutive months.
Wage growth is moderating.
The Fed interprets this as reduced overheating risk, which historically precedes rate cuts.
2.4 Financial Conditions Are Tight Enough
Long-term Treasury yields rose sharply this year,
creating a “passive tightening effect”—meaning the Fed doesn’t need to raise rates further.
3. Will the Fed Pivot in Early 2025?
Probability Assessment
Scenario
Probability
Description
Early Pivot (Q1–Q2 2025)
55%
Inflation cooling + economic slowdown
Late Pivot (Q3 2025)
30%
Sticky services inflation delays cuts
No Pivot / Higher-for-Longer
15%
Re-acceleration shock in inflation
4. Market Impact to Watch
4.1 U.S. Equities
Rate-cut expectations typically boost mega-cap tech and interest-sensitive growth sectors.
4.2 U.S. Dollar (USD)
A softer Fed tends to push USD lower → beneficial for EM currencies.
4.3 Bonds
Long-duration Treasuries benefit most during pivot cycles.
(Yield compression → price 상승)
4.4 Global Liquidity Flows
Fed easing historically leads to stronger EM capital inflows (Korea, Vietnam, India 등).
5. Recommended Actions
Track Core PCE monthly readings and labor-market slack indicators.
Watch the U.S. 10-year yield: falling below 4.0% = pivot confirmation signal.
Monitor Fed Funds futures via CME FedWatch for real-time probability shifts.
A potential Fed pivot in 2025 is no longer speculation—it is becoming a central narrative across global markets.
Understanding the timing and impact of this policy shift will be critical for navigating AI stocks, EM equities, and global liquidity cycles.
💡 Key Insights Contrarian Insight: While the crowd waits for a return to "zero-rate" nostalgia, the real alpha is moving toward "Normalization with Constraints"—where cash flow beats speculation. Key Structural Driver: The AI cycle is pivoting from hardware build-out (CapEx) to software monetization (ROI) and critical power infrastructure. Long-term Implication: Capital efficiency and real yields have replaced cheap liquidity as the primary drivers of asset valuation for 2026. A New Phase: Normalization Under Constraints Over the past few years, markets have moved from pandemic shocks to policy whiplash. What’s emerging now is more subtle — and more durable: Growth continues — but with tight money, rising energy demands, and policy-driven supply chains. Three signals define this shift: Rates stay elevated longer because inflation stabilizes above pre-COVID norms. AI investment pivots from building infrastructure to monetizing productivity. ...
1) What the BIOSECURE Act Is — and Why It Matters The BIOSECURE Act is a U.S. legislative push aimed at reducing dependency on foreign biotechnology, DNA synthesis, and genomic data-processing firms considered national-security risks. The Act primarily seeks to: Limit federal procurement from designated foreign biotech suppliers Restrict U.S. research partnerships involving sensitive genetic data Tighten standards for DNA sequencing, synthesis, and cloud-based bioinformatics For markets, this marks a structural acceleration of biotechnology reshoring — similar to the CHIPS Act, but focused on genomics, lab infrastructure, diagnostics, and biological data processing . This shift is creating a new class of investable themes across U.S. biotech infrastructure, data centers, and secure cloud platforms. 2) Why This Law Is Transformational for Global Investors A. Biotech Supply Chains Begin Decoupling Today’s biotech landscape relies heavily on: Overseas DNA synthesis m...
This perspective is inspired by the conversation between Elon Musk and Nikhil Kamath in People by WTF — Episode 16 . Rather than treating their comments as predictions, this article interprets the discussion as a structural lens on how AI, aging demographics, and wage dynamics may reshape economies and capital allocation over time. ① BIG PICTURE — AI IS TURNING INTO AN ECONOMIC OPERATING SYSTEM Most AI commentary focuses on features . Markets don’t price features. They price systems that reshape cost structures . AI is moving from experiments to backbone — influencing: how factories plan inventory how power grids balance demand how ports, hospitals, and logistics hubs operate how governments procure digital infrastructure This is less like a tech boom and more like: a re-platforming of real-world operations. That’s where multi-year capital commitments show up. Explore White house official AI Policy & Data → ② WHY CAPITAL IS SHIFTING (T...
