October 29 Simon Dixon: Is World War 3 a psyop?
Is this World War 3, or America's strategic retreat? Simon Dixon explains how the petrodollar, the Strait of Hormuz and Europe's debt crisis are reshaping global finance – and what it means for gold.
In his second interview with GoldRepublic Global (recorded 22 October 2026), Bitcoin investor Simon Dixon argues the West has entered an asset-stripping phase. Rising borrowing costs, high energy prices and war spending are moving wealth from borrowers and energy consumers to the financial, military and tech complexes. He sees the conflicts from Ukraine to the Gulf not as WW3 but as a US strategic retreat – America's "Suez moment" at the Strait of Hormuz – while China, BRICS and a new regional order in West Asia change who controls energy and the petrodollar system.
We also cover US debt and Treasury liquidity, why foreign central banks are swapping Treasuries for gold, the 3.3% debt-cost threshold and the path to QE, France's 5%+ bond yields and Europe's debt doom loop, the digital euro and CBDCs, wealth taxes on unrealised gains, and the four conditions under which Simon would sell his Bitcoin for gold.

October 22 Alasdair Macleod: The Sovereign Debt Endgame Has Begun
Is the global financial system approaching its breaking point? In this episode of Macroscopic, Alasdair Macleod warns of an unprecedented sovereign debt crisis that could threaten the very foundations of fiat currencies.
We discuss France’s escalating debt crisis, Japan’s capital repatriation, rising bond yields, and the possibility of a major stock market crash. Macleod also explains how the unfolding energy shock could accelerate inflation, why governments may have no choice but to print more money, and what this could mean for gold and silver. Could the recent gold correction be setting the stage for an explosive rally?

October 06 Henrik Zeberg: Why Bond Yields Are About to Collapse
Henrik Zeberg returns to Macroscopic to explain why he believes markets are approaching the final stage of the economic cycle. While much of the market is focused on sticky inflation, rising bond yields and the risk of a sovereign debt crisis, Henrik argues that the real warning signs are emerging in the labour market, housing and credit.
We discuss why he expects bond yields to fall sharply, why he believes the Fed is misreading the economy and how the AI investment boom may be masking much deeper economic weakness. Henrik also lays out his roadmap for the dollar, Nasdaq, gold, Bitcoin and altcoins, including why he still expects one final risk-on phase before a major deflationary bust.
Finally, Henrik explains what would prove his thesis wrong and the key signals he expects markets to deliver over the next three months.

September 24 Luke Gromen: This Is How Hyperinflation Begins
Macro strategist Luke Gromen joins Alexej Jordanov to explain why both Fed rate hikes and rate cuts are now inflationary, why the US bond market, not the stock market, is the real bubble, and why he believes gold is headed to five figures.
In this conversation, Luke breaks down the fiscal dominance trap facing the Fed, why $40 trillion in US debt makes rate hikes self-defeating, and why 53 out of 53 nations that hit 130% debt-to-GDP in the last 220 years have inflated away their debt with the US now joining that list. He unpacks his "bond singularity" thesis on how AI is accelerating a bond market crisis faster than any AI productivity boom can offset it, why industrial supply chains are already showing early signs of a hyperinflationary mindset ("I'd rather own copper than cash"), and why the dollar debasement trade in gold, silver, and Bitcoin is back on.

September 13 Francis Hunt vs Brent Johnson - Debate on Dollar Milkshake Theory & Monetary Endgame
Brent Johnson and Francis Hunt go head-to-head over the future of the US dollar and the Dollar Milkshake Theory. Hunt argues that rising Treasury yields increasingly reflect a loss of confidence in US debt, driving capital toward gold, commodities and eventually away from the dollar. Johnson pushes back: dollar strength was never the end goal of the theory, but a catalyst for a broader sovereign debt and currency crisis.
The debate gets into US debt, bond markets, dollar reserve status, gold, silver, capital flows and whether the final monetary reset comes through a stronger dollar or through its decline. Both see serious stress ahead for the global monetary system. They disagree sharply on how we get there.

August 30 Michael Every: The Global System Is Coming Apart
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.

August 26 John Butler: Only Gold Will Survive This Bond Market Crisis
John Butler explains why the US bond market may be entering a dangerous new phase and why gold could be the ultimate winner. We discuss rising Treasury yields, government bond buybacks, America’s debt burden, recession risks, Japan’s US Treasury holdings, and the growing threat to confidence in the dollar.
John also reveals why gold is rising alongside real yields, how central-bank gold buying signals a monetary regime change, and whether China could eventually challenge the dollar with gold-backed bonds or a gold-linked renminbi.

August 16 Francis Hunt: Japan's Debt Crisis Could Send Silver to $330
Francis Hunt returns to Macroscopic to explain why Japan’s bond crisis could become America’s problem. We discuss the yen carry trade, the growing pressure on US Treasuries, and how an interconnected debt crisis could spread across global markets. Francis also shares his outlook for gold, silver and platinum including why another precious-metals washout may come before the next major move higher.

August 09 David Rosenberg Warns The Mother of Consumer Recessions Is Here
The AI boom is masking serious weakness across the US economy. David Rosenberg sees stagnant employment, falling real incomes, contracting housing and business investment, and a consumer increasingly dependent on stock-market wealth and record credit-card debt.
Markets have shifted from pricing Federal Reserve cuts to expecting higher interest rates following the US–Iran war and oil shock. Rosenberg thinks that reset will reverse: inflation should move lower, consumer demand should weaken, the Fed should remain on hold and Treasury yields could fall sharply as recession risk returns.
His gold thesis is unchanged. Central banks led by China continue moving reserves away from the US dollar, while gold supply grows slowly. Combined with his outlook for lower real rates, Rosenberg still sees the correction as part of a secular bull market rather than its end.

August 05 Peter Schiff: Japan, Bonds or the AI Bubble... What Breaks First?
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.
Recorded 28th of July 2026
