Stagflation Aggravation / Macro-To-Micro Options Power Hour / Aug 13, 2025
Macro-To-Micro Options Power Hour full episode from Aug 13, 2025
In this episode of Macro-To-Micro Options Power Hour from Aug 13, 2025, Samantha LaDuc and Hans Albrecht discuss how aggressive rate-cut expectations, AI-fueled optimism, and fiscal stimulus are driving markets toward potential melt-up territory.
They examine the mechanics behind the rally, from systematic flows and hedged long positioning to sector rotation opportunities outside of big tech.
While both see bullish momentum continuing in the near term, they warn of macro risks—especially hidden or manipulated employment data, tariff impacts, and overextended valuations—that could trigger sharp reversals.
They also explore strategic hedging and options positioning to capture upside while protecting against the volatility they expect when the market narrative shifts.
