The Truth Behind Trump’s New Money
President Trump is launching a new $250 bill with his face on it – the first living president to do so since Abraham Lincoln’s $10 demand note in 1861.
Earlier this year, he instituted another currency change – insisting that his signature appear on all new bank notes.
If you’re starting to sense that Trump has taken an unusual interest in our money, you’re on the right track.
In fact, I’d like to show you that his new $250 bill is a mere distraction from a far bigger and more consequential change to U.S. currency being orchestrated behind the scenes.
Something that will affect every dollar you've ever saved or invested.
Bypassing all conventional legal and political channels, under the guise of national security, Trump is enacting a total money reset using a landmark executive order (14241).
Democrat or Republican, support him or despise him, it doesn't matter – the wheels are already in motion.
And that means every American may soon be forced to use Trump's New Dollar to fill your gas tank, buy groceries, pay the bills.
Which is why I've produced this critical new documentary laying out exactly what this means for your savings, your investments, and your family's financial future…
Detailing three important steps you can take today to prepare – including details on a core band of assets connected to Trump’s initiative that could surge if this plays out as I predict…
Plus the name and ticker of my #1 move to make today.
As you’ll see in my briefing, the last time America reset its money like this – under Richard Nixon’s presidency in the 1970s – it created one of the greatest wealth divides in the history of our nation.
On one side, it minted an average of 1,300 new millionaires a day for over half a century. And on the other… the folks left behind, with many drowning in debt, and no idea how to use America’s new money to create wealth.
As Trump rolls out his new dollar, the question is:

5% Yields Hit Stocks Before the Fed
Wall Street fell Monday. The 10-year Treasury yield broke above 5%. The semiconductor index plunged 5.9%. Nvidia fell 3.4%.
And traders kept the chance of a Fed hike Wednesday near 90%. That left stocks facing two hard numbers at once: 5% yields. A 5.9% chip selloff.
What Moved
Monday, September 14
The S&P 500 fell 0.48% to 7,619.94.
The Nasdaq fell 0.56% to 26,186.41.
The Dow slipped 0.29% to 52,421.17.
The Philadelphia Semiconductor Index plunged 5.9%.
Nvidia fell 3.4%.
Micron dropped more than 5%.
Broadcom fell more than 4%.
AMD lost more than 4%.
Information technology fell 1.68%.
Industrials dropped 1.44%.
Bank of America fell 5.1%.
ServiceNow, Adobe and Workday gained between 4% and 7.4%.
The 10-year Treasury yield climbed above 5%.
It was last near 5.01%.
Brent crude rose 1.0% to $105.68 a barrel.
WTI crude rose 1.3% to $101.39.
Spot gold fell about 0.93% to roughly $4,306 an ounce.
Traders put the chance of a 25-basis-point Fed hike Wednesday near 90%.
About 15.3 billion shares traded across U.S. exchanges.
The recent 20-day average was about 14.8 billion.
Why It Moved
Two moves drove Monday. Treasury yields broke above 5%. Chip stocks sold off hard. The bond move came first. Oil stayed above $100. Inflation remains above the Fed’s 2% goal.
Government and corporate bond supply also stayed heavy. That pushed the 10-year through a level markets had watched for weeks. A 5% Treasury yield matters because investors can earn more from bonds without owning stocks.
It also raises borrowing costs across the economy. Mortgages can cost more. Auto loans can cost more. Companies can pay more to issue debt. That makes high-priced stocks harder to support.
Chips Take the Hardest Hit
Semiconductors were Monday’s biggest losers. The Philadelphia Semiconductor Index fell 5.9%. Nvidia dropped 3.4%. Micron lost more than 5%. Broadcom and AMD each fell more than 4%.
The selloff followed calls from leaders at major AI companies to slow the pace of AI development. That raised a simple question for investors. If AI firms build more slowly, do they still need as many chips, servers and data centres as fast as
Wall Street expected? That question matters because chip stocks carried a large share of the market’s gains this year. The semiconductor index is still up about 57% in 2026 even after Monday’s drop. That left investors with large gains to protect.
Software Moves the Other Way
Not every tech stock fell. ServiceNow, Adobe and Workday gained between 4% and 7.4%. Those stocks had been hit in recent weeks by fears that AI tools could cut software profit margins.
Monday flipped that trade. If AI development slows, some software firms may face less near-term pressure from new AI products. That helped software shares rise while chip stocks fell.
The split was clear. AI hardware fell. Several software names gained.
The 10-Year Crosses 5%
The bond move may matter more than the chip drop. The 10-year Treasury yield moved above 5% for the first time since October 2023. That is a level Wall Street watches closely.
Stocks compete with bonds for investor money. When Treasury yields are low, investors may accept high stock prices. At 5%, that gets harder. Higher yields also raise financing costs across the economy.
That can slow home buying. It can raise costs for companies. It can also put more pressure on firms that rely on debt. Monday’s move was not just a bond-market event. It hit the price investors were willing to pay for stocks too.
Oil Stays Above $100
Oil added more pressure. Brent rose 1.0% to $105.68. WTI gained 1.3% to $101.39. Both remain above $100. Prices had jumped almost 5% earlier Monday before giving back most of the move.
Fresh attacks on Saudi energy sites and ships in the Middle East raised fears that less oil could reach buyers. Saudi Arabia’s East-West Pipeline was also hit. That route helps Saudi crude avoid the Strait of Hormuz.
Its shutdown raised concern over another key route for global oil supply. Oil pulled back after President Trump said Iran wanted a deal with Washington. But crude still closed higher. That keeps fuel costs high just before the Fed meeting.
Gold Falls Again
Gold dropped about 0.93% to roughly $4,306 an ounce. That was its lowest level in more than 1 month. The dollar rose. Treasury yields rose.
And traders kept Fed hike odds near 90%. Those moves hurt gold. Gold pays no interest. A 5% Treasury yield gives investors a high return from government bonds. That makes gold harder to hold when rates rise.
The Fed Is Next
The Federal Reserve begins its 2-day meeting Tuesday. The decision comes Wednesday. Markets put the chance of a 25-basis-point hike near 90% Monday. A large majority of economists also expect the Fed to raise its benchmark rate to 3.75%–4.00%.
The hike itself may not be the biggest market mover. Wall Street already expects it. The harder question is what Chair Kevin Warsh says after the decision. Does the Fed see one hike as enough? Or does it think oil above $100, firm inflation and strong jobs require more? That answer can decide whether the 10-year stays above 5%.
Why It Matters Now
Monday left markets with a short list of hard numbers:
The 10-year Treasury yield broke above 5%.
The S&P 500 fell 0.48%.
The Nasdaq fell 0.56%.
The Dow fell 0.29%.
The chip index plunged 5.9%.
Nvidia lost 3.4%.
Micron fell more than 5%.
Brent closed at $105.68.
WTI closed at $101.39.
Gold fell to about $4,306.
Fed hike odds stayed near 90%.
The Fed decision comes Wednesday.
The Fed now faces a market with oil above $100 and the 10-year above 5%. A 25-basis-point hike is already priced in. What comes next matters more.
If the Fed hikes and says more tightening may follow, yields can climb again. If it hikes and signals a pause, the 10-year can fall back below 5%. The yield broke first. Now the Fed decides whether it stays there.
