Alexej Jordanov speaks with Rabobank strategist Michael Every about a global system increasingly driven by statecraft, military power and control over physical resources rather than conventional market forces. They examine whether the United States is becoming overstretched across Iran, Russia, Ukraine and China—and how a further escalation could test NATO, disrupt energy infrastructure and rapidly overturn assumptions embedded in financial markets. Michael explains why Washington is shifting between military, political and economic pressure, including sanctions, dollar weaponisation and new methods of supporting the US Treasury market. The discussion then turns to stablecoins, demand for US government debt and America’s attempt to transform the dollar from a primarily financial currency into the foundation of a renewed industrial economy. They also explore China’s gold accumulation, why Beijing does not necessarily want the renminbi to replace the dollar, and why gold may serve as an emergency trade mechanism without solving the deeper structural conflict between the two powers. Finally, they discuss the return of physical assets, strategic commodities and industrial capacity—and why Europe’s postwar economic model is now facing an existential challenge. 📲 Download the GoldRepublic app: - Google Play: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.goldrepublic⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ - Apple Store: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://apps.apple.com/nl/app/goldrepublic/id475643876⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 🟠 Buy and store physical allocated gold, silver and platinum. 👉 Open an account: ⁠https://bit.ly/38stf7p ⁠ ⚠️ DISCLAIMER ⚠️ The views and opinions expressed in this program are those of the speakers and do not necessarily reflect the views or positions of any entities they represent.

Peter Schiff’s central warning is blunt: America’s fiscal position cannot support the US dollar indefinitely. Rising debt costs, persistent inflation and weakening demand for Treasuries could end in a sovereign debt and reserve currency crisis. He argues that Japan could accelerate the reckoning. Higher Bank of Japan rates and a stronger yen may unwind the yen carry trade, forcing sales of US bonds and stocks just as the Federal Reserve faces limited room to respond. Oil, commodities and underinvestment add another layer of stagflation risk. Schiff also addresses the AI capital spending boom, gold and silver’s recent correction, mining stocks, Bitcoin and the growing pressure on Strategy. The broader question is whether China’s accumulation of gold and development of yuan-based trade infrastructure mark the early stages of a new monetary order.

Grant Williams joins Macroscopic to discuss why the 40-year easy money era may be coming to an end and why he is now more focused on protecting wealth than chasing returns. We cover gold and silver, the possibility of a financial reset, China’s gold strategy, changes in Japan and Europe’s economic problems. Grant also explains how investors approaching retirement can protect their purchasing power as the old market rules begin to change.
