Treasury yields, fiscal reset, and recession signals

Macro Mavens founder Stephanie Pomboy joins Kitco News to break down the immediate systemic risks facing U.S. markets. As oil prices surge and global central banks begin to diverge, Pomboy warns that the real threat lies within a $5 trillion segment of corporate debt sitting just one downgrade away from junk status. Furthermore, she details the hidden leverage locking up retail investors in private credit and why a massive $4 trillion shortfall in the U.S. pension system could force policymakers into another major bailout.

In this interview, Pomboy outlines how these combined pressures - from forced selling in liquid assets to rising debt service costs - set the stage for a severe credit squeeze. She also explains why she sees gold reaching $6,000 by year-end as the Federal Reserve is ultimately forced to prioritize economic cushioning over inflation fighting.
