Mike Larson - Market Volatility, Gold’s Breakout & Global Opportunities
Mike Larson, Editor in Chief at MoneyShow, joins us to break down the latest market trends, rising volatility, and where investors should be positioning for the months ahead.
Since our last conversation in January, the market landscape has shifted dramatically. Stocks have swung from optimism to uncertainty, fueled by policy changes, trade concerns, and valuation resets in high-growth sectors. AI stocks, which soared earlier this year, have taken a hit, cryptos have stumbled, and the broader markets have seen heightened two-way volatility. Mike unpacks what’s driving these moves, from shifting policy narratives to investor sentiment extremes.
With all this uncertainty, gold has been the clear standout, now over $3,000 an ounce. Mike explains why gold has outperformed, how international markets are showing strength, and whether this signals a generational shift in global investing trends. While Western investors have been slow to embrace gold equities, there are signs that broader participation is increasing.
We also dive into the gold vs. Bitcoin debate, looking at how digital assets have behaved during recent market turmoil. While Bitcoin has moved more in line with tech stocks, gold has maintained its traditional role as a safe-haven asset. Mike weighs in on whether this trend will continue and what it could mean for both asset classes.
