Key insights
- The author speculates that a potential Warsh nomination to a key economic position would lead to pressure for lower interest rates, aligning with Trump's desire to reduce debt servicing costs. This is viewed as bullish for big tech, banks, housing, and travel stocks, all of which benefit from lower borrowing costs and increased economic activity.
Warsh now greenlit to be nominated and in my opinion will want rates to be dropped massively because Trump wants it done. Trump wants to lower the debt and without lowering spending the best way to do that is to lower the amount of interest paid on the debt by lowering interest rates.
Plays for lower interest rates- big tech (googl, amzn, apple, msft, meta, Nvda, mu, avgo, dell, hpe, ), banks (jpm, c, wfc, bac), housing stocks which have been in a funk for 4 years now might be some of the best (rkt, cbre, len, phm, tol, dhi, hd, low), travel (dal, ual, aal, mar, hlt, h, rcl, ccl, nclh)
