Banks, Bonds & Markets Face A Dangerous Reckoning | Alasdair Macleod
Liberty and Finance: 11-5-2026
Alasdair Macleod warns that the recent gold and silver selloff is masking a much deeper crisis: the accelerating collapse of fiat currencies.
He argues that rising energy costs, higher bond yields, and weakening consumer demand could trigger a serious economic slump, putting banks, private equity, insurance companies, and equity markets under mounting pressure.
Macleod believes the next surge in interest rates could expose vulnerabilities across the financial system, while Middle East disruptions threaten oil supplies and global markets.
He also warns that foreign holders of nearly $2 trillion in US financial assets could become major sellers, adding further pressure to an already fragile Treasury market.
As governments prepare for potential disruptions and geopolitical tensions escalate, Macleod explains why physical gold, freedom from credit exposure, and practical preparedness deserve serious attention.
