Interview with Liberty & Finance

Recorded earlier this week, I explain why central banks are not renewing gold leases as they fall due, putting liquidity strains on paper markets.

“Alasdaor Macleod provides analysis of the current stock market, highlighting the risk of an impending economic downturn fueled by Trump's trade tariffs. He points to the massive credit bubble, warning of its impact on stock prices and exposing vulnerabilities within the American banking system. Macleod also examines the geopolitical shifts driven by U.S. trade policies, particularly the growing cooperation between China and other nations. He expresses concern over the weakening role of the U.S. dollar in global trade. Macleod suggests that Asia may soon transition to a new currency system, potentially gold-backed, as the world moves away from fiat currencies.
