About this episode

Michael Howell discusses the impact of tightening global liquidity and various macroeconomic factors on markets.

Michael Howell returns to the podcast to break down why the real threat to markets is not just war or recession fears, but a tightening global liquidity cycle. He explains how the Iran shock, rising energy prices, China’s gold buying, and the coming debt refinancing wall are all converging into a powerful macro shift. The discussion covers gold, oil, bonds, the dollar, repo stress, and why markets may be telling a very different story than economists. 📲 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.
