MacroVoices @ErikSTownsend & @PatrickCeresna welcome Luke Gromen @LukeGromen. They discuss why the economic fallout from the prolonged Strait of Hormuz disruption has been slower than expected, with China’s reduced oil demand and coordinated strategic reserve releases helping cushion the supply shock, and why the bigger credit risk from AI may sit with the consumer. bit.ly/4sufi1M

MacroVoices @ErikSTownsend & @PatrickCeresna welcome Yasir Arafat @yasir_fission. They discuss Aalo Atomics’ plan to mass-produce small nuclear reactors, initially for AI data centers, and the scale of the power demand the company hopes to serve. Arafat describes how factory production and repeated designs could lower costs, while identifying supply-chain growth as a major challenge. They also discuss using low-enriched uranium in the near term, the longer-term potential of fast-spectrum reactors and fuel recycling, changing U.S. policies on nuclear energy, and competition with China. bit.ly/3TTkNdH

MacroVoices @ErikSTownsend & @PatrickCeresna welcome Brent Johnson @SantiagoAuFund . They discuss the dollar’s recent strength and Johnson’s longer-term bullish outlook, while allowing for a short-term pullback. They consider gold’s support level and the possibility of further declines if the dollar rises, alongside Johnson’s view that the current area could be a buying opportunity. Johnson also outlines his thesis that the Fed and Treasury may work more closely together, including the theoretical possibility of revaluing U.S. gold holdings. bit.ly/3Wg8EjB

MacroVoices @ErikSTownsend & @PatrickCeresna welcome back Michael Every @TheMichaelEvery . They discuss how Iran's threats to extend its strikes into the Indian Ocean and a possible 90-day U.S. diesel export ban could deepen the energy crisis, why Washington is rallying allies like Canada and Latin America into a U.S.-led bloc against a China–Russia–Iran–North Korea axis, and how fears of a 2027 Taiwan move, AI supremacy, and tactical nuclear escalation are reshaping markets, capital flows, and national security.

MacroVoices @ErikSTownsend & @PatrickCeresna welcome Michael Every @TheMichaelEvery. They discuss how escalating Iran–Middle East and Russia–Ukraine conflicts are weaponizing energy markets, why a looming global diesel crunch could fracture the “one-world” oil system into U.S.-led regional blocs, and how Washington may increasingly use tools like export bans, Arctic basing rights, and even dollar stablecoins as instruments of geopolitical statecraft against China and other rivals. bit.ly/4iRZKlX
