“This Is How Every Crisis Starts” w/ Jim Bianco

Markets are hitting new all-time highs. AI stocks are leading the rally. Investors are still betting on lower rates. So... what could possibly go wrong?

Jim breaks down why the Strait of Hormuz matters way more than most investors realize, how global oil inventories are getting quietly depleted, and why treating structural problems as temporary liquidity issues has been the common thread behind nearly every major financial crisis.

The Two Biggest Macro Forces Driving Markets Over The Next Decade w/ Michael Nicoletos

In today's episode, we break down why the intersection of global geopolitics and artificial intelligence is creating a massive macro realignment, how supply-side inflation is forcing central banks into structural policy mistakes, and why the global "AI race" is fundamentally tied to energy dominance.Michael Nicoletos, founder and CEO of Defy Advisors, explains why a temporary truce in the Strait of Hormuz won't stop the U.S. from leveraging control over global energy supplies to corner China, why traditional interest rate hikes fail to fix supply-side energy shocks, and why the Federal Reserve is ultimately positioned to choose rate cuts over an economic depression.

Why 2026 Could End In A Massive Blow-Off Top w/ Andreas Steno Larsen

Andreas Steno Larsen joined us on Milk Road Macro to break down why the bond market might have entered a structural bear market. Yet at the same time, liquidity is still flooding into risk assets. And AI stocks and semiconductors keep ripping higher despite rising yields, inflation fears, and geopolitical chaos. How does that math work? That's what we get into. And the answer changes how you should think about pretty much every asset class right now. Two opposite things can be true at the same time. That's where the opportunity is hiding.

Why Geopolitical Chaos Is Bullish For the US w/ Eric Wallerstein

We sat down with macro strategist Eric Wallerstein on Milk Road Macro to break down why geopolitical chaos might actually be fueling the next leg higher for U.S. markets. Counterintuitive? Yes. But hear him out. Most investors are obsessing over recession fears, inflation, and Fed policy. Eric thinks the real story is way bigger. The world is fragmenting. Europe is weakening. China is playing defense. And America just keeps quietly consolidating economic power. When the world breaks, capital flows somewhere. And right now, "somewhere" looks a lot like the U.S.

Energy Is About to Become the Most Valuable Asset on Earth w/ Clem Chambers

In today's episode, we sat down with market veteran Clem Chambers on Milk Road Macro to break down the massive structural shifts happening in the global economy right now. Energy. AI. Geopolitics. They're about to reshape... pretty much everything. We dig into the renewed Iran conflict, oil supply risks, and how a single bottleneck in the global energy system could trigger inflation, supply shocks, and serious market volatility. Clem explains why "the market already knows what's happening" before the rest of us do, how capital flows signal real-world events before they hit the headlines, and why assets like Bitcoin tend to spike during geopolitical instability. The market is whispering. Most people aren't listening yet.

Lance Roberts: The Bulls Are Back… But This Setup Looks Dangerous

Lance Roberts came on the show with a take that's gonna make some people uncomfortable. The return of bullish sentiment? Might actually be a warning sign. Not a green light. There's a potential leadership shift coming at the Fed. Oil prices are spiking on geopolitical tensions. Stocks are camped out near all-time highs. The macro setup is getting really fragile. Even if the headlines look great. When everyone's bullish at the same time... that's usually when you should start paying attention.

Tavi Costa, founder of Azuria Capital, breaks down why the current energy crisis in the Middle East and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz are just the beginning of a massive structural shift in global markets. Tavi explains why he believes the U.S. debt trajectory will force aggressive rate cuts and a weakening dollar, creating a "perfect storm" for tangible assets like gold, silver, and copper. We dive deep into his conviction on Latin America as a primary beneficiary of de-globalization, and why agricultural commodities and fertilizers are the next "dominoes" to fall in this inflationary era.
