In this interview, Alex Krainer breaks down the biggest geopolitical and financial risks facing the world right now—from Trump’s China visit and the shifting U.S.–China–Russia power balance to Iran, NATO, de-dollarization, the petrodollar, stock market distortions, bond market collapse, hyperinflation risks, and the bullish case for gold. Is the dollar losing its dominance? Could NATO disintegrate? Is Europe heading toward economic crisis? And could gold reach $10,000 or beyond? A must-watch discussion for investors, macro thinkers, and anyone following geopolitics, financial markets, gold, inflation, and the future of the global economy.
