In this short clip from Macro-To-Micro Options Power Hour recorded on May 22, 2025, Samantha LaDuc and Hans Albrecht discuss the fragile state of U.S. market leadership, the overreliance on AI hype, and the growing macroeconomic risks that investors are underestimating.
Samantha argues that U.S. exceptionalism is fraying, with foreign capital slowly exiting, and warns of multiple compression in big tech due to higher debt costs and weak sector rotation.
She also highlights China's underestimated advances in AI and EVs, which could challenge U.S. dominance.
While speculative pockets like quantum computing remain hot, she sees no durable trend to justify a breakout and expects potential weakness ahead of Nvidia’s earnings.
