Bitcoin as a risk indicator, metal-stock linkages, stablecoins and dollar flows, and Fed policy risks are all covered in short, pointed discussion.

Episode notes
INSIGHT

Gold Versus Stocks Is Telling A Story

  • Relative measures show gold is extremely rich versus its historical averages and versus stocks.
  • McGlone expects the S&P-to-gold ratio to revert materially toward parity over time.
INSIGHT

2026 Could Be A Post-Inflation Deflation Year

  • McGlone expects a shift toward 'normal deflation' from inflation by late 2026, pressured by China and other global forces.
  • That disinflation/reflation dynamic makes bonds relatively more attractive if equities roll over.
ADVICE

Watch The Fed For Inflation Vigilance

  • Don’t assume a politically driven Fed will tolerate rising inflation; expect vigilance on inflation risks.
  • McGlone advises watching Fed reactions to any inflation surprise rather than assuming easy policy.
