Tracking Sovereign Default Of Debt Repayment
From Macro-To-Micro Options Power Hour recorded on April 16, 2025
In this short clip from Macro-To-Micro Options Power Hour recorded on April 16, 2025, Samantha LaDuc and Hans Albrecht discuss how gold has become the new hedge against market volatility and fiscal instability, effectively replacing the VIX.
They explain that rising bond volatility, weakening U.S. fiscal credibility, and a falling dollar are fueling gold’s rally, with central banks—especially China—also accumulating the metal.
The pair warns that despite occasional sharp rallies triggered by political headlines, the broader market remains fragile, with widening credit spreads and signs of recession building under the surface.
They stress that this is not a market to short gold in, but one to navigate cautiously as deep structural risks continue to mount.
