Author: Trapping Today March 14, 2021 Duration: 1:04:19

This episode represents the first real deep dive I've attempted to better understand where we might be headed in the coming years. From the strength of the U.S. Dollar and the price of crude oil, to GDP growth in China and Russia, combined with the global supply of ranched fur, we go macro on this one.
