About this episode

Jay Martin discusses Turkey's gold sales as a warning signal for a larger financial crisis.

Turkey has started selling its gold after nearly wiping out its U.S. Treasury holdings, and Jay argues this is not an isolated crisis, it's an early warning signal in a much larger financial cascade. In this episode, Jay breaks down how higher oil prices, shrinking global reserves, and forced Treasury selling could pressure emerging markets first, then push stress back into the U.S. bond market and the dollar itself. This is a look at what happens when countries run out of dollars, run out of assets to sell, and are forced into the next phase of the crisis.
