The Mood Just Got Moody / Macro-To-Micro Options Power Hour / May 22, 2025
Macro-To-Micro Options Power Hour full episode from May 22, 2025
In this episode of Macro-To-Micro Options Power Hour from May 22, 2025, Samantha LaDuc and Hans Albrecht discuss the growing macroeconomic and geopolitical risks facing markets, including rising global yields, U.S. fiscal instability, and a lack of meaningful sector rotation.
While AI and quantum computing continue to fuel speculative rallies, Samantha LaDuc cautions that these themes are masking deeper risks, particularly in bonds, banks, and semiconductors, with Nvidia's upcoming earnings seen as a critical near-term catalyst.
Hans shares his strategies for hedging, emphasizing downside put spreads and defensive positioning in a market lacking conviction.
Both agree that despite bullish sentiment, a correction could be looming, especially into July when macro catalysts—like tariffs and debt ceiling wrangling—re-emerge.
