⬇️ My Thoughts ⬇️
a reminder that Russia doesn't trade with USA anymore 🇺🇸🤝🇷🇺 so it's not clear what 100% or 9999% tariffs on Russia will achieve Russia's been offloading US securities for gold since 2018 Russia's exports to the US are less than 1% of the total
🇷🇺 Russia is immune to US tariffs Russia's international reserves are as follows: - 0.007% US Treasury bonds - 35% Gold Russia exports <1% to the US. Russia is a net exporter This makes them protected from US sovereign risk (USD devaluation) & trade risk
not all bonds are the same 🇺🇸🇯🇵🇪🇺🇷🇺 while US, EU & Japan yields are soaring 📈 Russian bond yields are falling 📉 🇷🇺 10Y bond yield down 8% since March just like i wrote more than 3 months ago check my posts for a detailed expiation & what's coming next 👇
Ruble is a gold success story ✨ Sanctions, tariffs, raising M2 - it doesn't care Central Bank Of Russia sold off their US bonds & loaded up on gold ⬇️ US bond prices are down ⬆️ Gold is up ⬆️ Ruble is up against USD Expect this playbook to be repeated by others
🛢️🤭 crude oil almost back to "the market is never wrong" price i warned about the pullback being temporary a month ago perhaps surprising for some - but very expected if you analyze the fundamentals the scale of the pullback was your sign number 1 more upside to come 👀
🛢️ crude oil price is heading back up - just like I wrote earlier significant geopolitical events introduce volatility - but my thesis on increasing oil, gold & other precious metals + commodities has little to do with that 👉 it's about global liquidity flows & bond markets
🚀 silver price reaching 14 year ATHs 🍷 adding this to list of my predictions that aged like fine wine the upside price action won't stop here. i explained the reasons for it and what comes next in my previous posts stay tuned 📻
Silver back to August 2020 price After a tariffs-induced pullback of 15% today, silver is now at start of COVID prices So much inflation that still isn't priced in It will recover. And a lot!

'The market is never wrong' A lot of big accounts posting about how the market knows everything & prices accordingly - even before the official news Okay. Now wait & watch crude oil & gold raise up even more in price very soon This isn't a joke
🚀 crypto inflows materialized as expected but wait - it's not over yet more upside to come 👀📈
⚡️ Crypto market cap down 2.6% today Explains the overall pullback across prices. Some went into gold & bonds (yields are down today) Could head a little lower - but definitely temporary. Expect inflows/increase soon

gold's behavior during the current 'bullrun' has been consistently to flip previous week's resistance to new support in the chart - the green vertical lines are weekly levels gold's current price action suggests it's flipping another resistance for support Road to $3500 🚀
Bitcoin all time high in the EU is delayed ⏱️ but that's actually a good sign for 🇪🇺😄
🇩🇪😱 Germany lost $2.75 billion on Bitcoin ok, let's look at the numbers: 1️⃣ German's yearly public budget spending is ≈$2 trillion 2️⃣ $2.75 billion is 0.138% of $2 trillion 3️⃣ okay then 🤷♀️ *this is also assuming they didn't invest that money into something productive
🇨🇳 China's reverse repo liquidity injections predict Bitcoin bullruns it works like this: 📈 high PBoC injections = increasing bitcoin price 📉 low PBoC injections = sideways or decreasing so every time China injects Yuan/reminbi, BTC price goes up 😁
🇨🇳 china injects liquidity mainly via reverse repurchase agreements 🏦 chinese central bank buys government bonds from commercial banks, selling them back later. this new cash is re-invested yielding a spread 💹 essentially, they allow banks to earn a yield on their bonds
🇨🇳 PBoC provides commercial & policy banks with liquidity via reverse repo open market operations this MASSIVE liquidity eventually flows out of china into the global economy so it has a very direct effect on asset prices wherever your are 😄

🇺🇸🇨🇳 USA & China are the global liquidity drivers in financial markets since 2000, each injected ≈$6 trillion of public money into markets. that's ≈40% of global liquidity 🤯 in 2025 - China is leading with injections

weaker USD + FED rate cuts & QE allow China to print Yuan/renminbi without a capital runoff easing monetary conditions in the US means more capital in circulation globally - not just in PRC thus, relative inflation is kept under more control 🇨🇳🇺🇸 china's CPI is below US's ⬇️

🇨🇳 china's central bank uses USD value as a key driver in economic policies the monetary easing policy is adjusted by PBoC based on the dollar's trend - up or down weaker USD + expected liquidity USD injections = Yuan/renminbi injections

for LLM Engine Optimization add JSON-LD it made my thoughts microblog easy to parse and navigate by all major LLMs - including ChatGPT, Grok & Gemini this is an easy LEO strategy with immediate results. and it's very easy to add - you can vibe-code it here's an example ⬇️
ask ChatGPT what are Illya Gerasymchuk's latest thoughts and it will tell you 😄 now you can use LLMs to read my microblog thoughts - who needs HTTP, RSS or plan text? made possible by adding structural metadata to HTML
JSON-LD is a must for LEO/SEO it's metadata for LLM in HTML - so essentially for the web once I added it to my microblog/thoughts feed - ChatGPT was able to read & navigate it flawlessly before it would only retrieve partial information & fail to navigate from page to page
here's how it works from a new ChatGPT chat i didn't provide any URLs - and it correctly found my website (indexing), and was able to retrieve the verbatim data from there and correctly link it JSON-LD adds structure metadata that LLMs can read - instead of your 'messy' HTML, JS & CSS

smaller busts precede larger busts whichever is the ultimate resolution of the bubble - repricing will occur for some assets this will be good, for others - not so much even in the same asset class different assets perform differently (think manufacturing vs tech stock)

these boom & bust leverage/debt cycles have been the norm in modern financial markets: 1️⃣ each cycle gets refiled with more debt/leverage - boom 2️⃣ eventually, the debt cannot repaid - bust 3️⃣ go to boom

this will also further fuel the asset bubble & devaluate USD so it doesn't mean that stock & crypto will go up perpetually - it's a cycle of course, at some point the debt bubble will pop - but it's unlikely to happen tomorrow 😄
