Right now, someone with incredibly deep pockets is buying December gold calls at outlier volume, and Francis Hunt of The Market Sniper thinks it âsmells like somebody knows something.â In this conversation with Maggie Lake, Francis explains why that trade matters, why debasement is already underway, and why goldânot fiatâis the only reliable unit of account in a world of weakening currencies.
Hunt walks through how stocks and bonds look strong in nominal terms but are quietly losing ground measured in gold, why Bitcoin and stablecoins fail the sovereignty test, and how collateral built on long-dated debt is silently eroding. He also lays out what this means for the U.S. dollar, the rotation into hard assets, and why markets may be underestimating how far this regime shift can go.
