Market Makers Are Not In Control
From Macro-To-Micro Options Power Hour recorded on April 9, 2025
Don’t miss the next Macro-to-Micro Options Power Hour, hosted every Wednesday at 4 PM EST. Registration is free.
In this short clip from Macro-To-Micro Options Power Hour recorded on April 9, 2025, Samantha LaDuc and Hans Albrecht discuss how recent market chaos stems from deep macroeconomic stress rather than technical trading dynamics.
They highlight violent bond market moves, capital rotations, and interventions from global actors like China, warning that dealers and option flows are no longer in control—macro headlines are.
Samantha points to massive financial stress in the Treasury market, sharp volatility spikes, and political manipulations like Trump’s market comments and suspiciously timed recession calls from Goldman Sachs.
The takeaway: markets are in fiscal dominance mode, and traders must shift their focus to macro risk, not micro signals.
