Macro-To-Micro Options Power Hour full episode from Apr 9, 2025
In this episode of Macro-To-Micro Options Power Hour from Apr 9, 2025, Samantha LaDuc and Hans Albrecht discuss the extreme volatility gripping the markets due to a combination of macro events, policy surprises, and broken bond market dynamics.
They dive into the rapid moves in yields, the impact of Trump’s tariff pause, and how both retail and institutional investors are struggling to navigate the chaos.
Samantha emphasizes that markets are now driven by macro factors, not dealer flows, and warns of continued instability, while Hans breaks down the implications for options strategies and why this is a “long volatility” environment.
Both agree that while the recent rally may offer a tactical bounce, it’s likely temporary, and investors should stay cautious, manage risk, and expect more turbulence ahead.
