Sept 17, 2026 – Escalating wars and supply disruptions are fueling a major commodity boom that could last into the 2030s, says well-known global forecaster Martin Armstrong in today's exclusive interview with FS Insider. Martin provides his big picture...

Global debt has passed 300 per cent of world GDP, bond yields are climbing across the world, and the U.S. war with Iran is putting pressure on households.Could we be facing the beginning of another global financial crisis?Geraldine Doogue and Latika Bourke sit down with the Financial Times Asia and Australia editor Robin Harding to explain how the bond market works, why it has such an impact on the economy, and why U.S. interventions have been lambasted by high-profile economists.Plus - how Australia passing one trillion dollars in debt might actually put us in a pretty safe spot, and how AI companies creating their own funding system could blow up in their faces.Guest: Robin Harding, Asia editor at the Financial Times Get in touch:We'd love to hear from you!

Senegalese President Bassirou Diomaye Faye is expected to hold talks with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) in Washington this week as Senegal seeks a new IMF programme. Earlier, the government introduced measures aimed at easing the cost of living and reached a staff-level agreement with the IMF on a new $2.2 billion, three-year lending programme to support economic and financial reforms. However, the deal still requires approval from the IMF Executive Board.Meanwhile, on the streets of Dakar, protesters are calling for lower prices on essential goods and services, including food, fuel, electricity and rent. We examine the impact of Senegal's hidden debt crisis of more than $11 billion on ordinary citizens, how the country reached this point and what plans are in place to address the challenges.And we hear from a Ugandan designer whose creativity captured global attention at the recently concluded Miss World pageant in Vietnam. Her striking design, worn by Miss World Uganda, brought to life the seven anatomical layers involved in a Caesarean section, earning international recognition and sparking conversations far beyond the world of fashion.Presenter: Nkechi Ogbonna Producers: Keikantse Shumba and Charles Gitonga Technical Producer: Davis Mwasaru Senior Producer: Blessing Aderogba Editors: Daniel Dadzie and Maryam Abdalla

The growing debt crisis of no-growth Brexit BritainIn his latest Lowdown podcast, host Nick Cohen interviews economics and geopolitics commentator and columnist Simon Nixon about the UK's national debt crisis and broader economic challenges. Simon explains that while the UK faces significant debt sustainability concerns, the current high bond yields reflect primarily inflation expectations rather than immediate financial crisis.Simon attributes the UK's inflation problem to being a price taker in global markets, energy price vulnerabilities, and Brexit's impact on supply chains. Simon argued that the UK's economic model shifted from efficiency-focused neoliberalism to a resilience-focused approach, noting that decades of prioritising efficiency over resilience left the country vulnerable to shocks in finance, energy, and infrastructure. Simon and Nick discusses potential solutions including a 2p income tax rise, with Simon suggesting this could address multiple challenges simultaneously, though he acknowledges the political constraints preventing such measures under current conditions. Simon and Nick also cover Andy Burnham's approach to addressing these issues, with Simon noting Burnham's correct analysis of neoliberalism's failures but expressing concern about the lack of concrete policy proposals beyond identifying problems.Read all about!Simon Nixon's Substack column Wealth of Nations is one of the best and most insightful reads on economics and finance.

Andy Burnham faced Kemi Badenoch for his first PMQs and while she chose to open the session with some innuendo, the hard questions soon came. Burnham has shown himself adept at diagnosis but less quick to nail his solutions to the mast. How long does he have to NOT answer questions when debt is rising and the economic headwinds are moving against him? Is he prepared to spell out - in this summer of optimism - where the pain might fall and trade offs might be made? And why are some commentators comparing him to Liz Truss? Is he being unfairly blamed for a wider global trend not of his making?Later, why is a Massachusetts jury unable to decide if a woman who killed her three young children is guilty of murder? The trial of Lindsay Clancy has divided America - with many supporters believing her the victim of postnatal psychosis. How does the law deal with that?The News Agents is a Global Production.The News Agents is brought to you by HSBC UK - https://grp.hsbc/TheRightConnections

Veronique de Rugy of the Mercatus Center details the alarming surge of the United States gross national debt to record heights, exceeding forty trillion dollars. She argues that the country suffers from an out-of-control spending problem rather than a lack of tax revenue, citing massive unpaid pandemic spending. De Rugy blames both political parties for avoiding structural reforms and warns of the critical 2032 deadline when Social Security and Medicare funding will face automatic, severe cuts. She predicts that Congress will resort to further debt and inflation, which will heavily penalize the public, while indebted European nations face similar struggles. (3)

The United States debt crisis is starting to accelerate. Jay breaks down how energy disruptions tied to the Strait of Hormuz could force countries like the UAE and Kuwait to sell U.S. Treasuries for cash, driving yields higher and making borrowing more expensive across the American economy. He explains why emergency dollar swap lines may become Washington's preferred pressure valve, how they work, and why the first requests for support could signal a much larger financial problem ahead.

This week on Markets Radar, I break down the absolute chaos that just shook Wall Street. First, I'll explain how Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent tried to outsmart the $31.5 trillion bond market with a desperate intervention, only for the market to school him right back, triggering a massive dollar selloff and a spectacular 22% surge in Bitcoin! But the real shockwave came from legendary billionaire investor Ray Dalio. He just dropped a financial bombshell, warning of an unavoidable, catastrophic U.S. debt crisis heading our way in as little as three years. With national debt surpassing a staggering $40 trillion and interest costs eating up $1 trillion this year alone, Dalio is shouting a warning I believe every investor needs to hear: dump your government bonds immediately and secure your wealth in gold and Bitcoin before the fiat system debases even further.

What happens when a Licensed Insolvency Trustee gets five minutes to tell Parliament what's really happening with debt in Canada? Doug Hoyes shares his firsthand experience testifying before the House of Commons Standing Committee on Finance, explaining why Canadians are taking longer before reaching a financial breaking point, how affordability challenges are changing the nature of debt, and why issues like CRA repayment demands continue to push some people toward insolvency. The conversation also explores the growing divide between homeowners and renters, debt layering, and why insolvency is often a lagging indicator of financial stress.

Welcome to Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu. In today's episode, we dive deep into the economic insights of Professor Steve Keen—a renowned economist who famously predicted the 2008 financial crisis. Keen challenges mainstream economic models and reveals the fundamental misconceptions that lead economists to repeatedly misjudge the state of the economy, especially when it comes to debt.We'll unpack why conventional wisdom about government and private debt is dangerously flawed, explore the real mechanics of money creation in modern economies, and explain why ignoring private debt can leave entire nations blindsided by financial turmoil. Along the way, we'll touch on provocative ideas like debt jubilees, the dangers of unchecked debt cycles, and the delicate balance between innovation, lending, and inflation.Strap in as we question what you really know about economics, challenge widely held beliefs, and uncover the models shaping your financial future—whether you realize it or not.Quince: Free shipping and 365-day returns at https://quince.com/impactpodWhatnot: Download the Whatnot app today and get free shipping on your first order.Ketone IQ: Visit https://ketone.com/IMPACT for 30% OFF your subscription orderATT Business: Switch to AT&T Business at business.att.comIncogni: Take your personal data back with Incogni!

The conversation focused on a whirlwind of pressing global and domestic issues shaping today's world. The discussion explored the evolving negotiations between the US and Iran, questioning the mysterious terms of a new “deal” and the shifting sands of Middle Eastern politics. Several points were raised, including the challenges of US debt refinancing, the economic ripple effects of AI investment, and Japan's pivotal role in global debt markets.One concept discussed was the increasing calls to overhaul tax policies, examining whether taxing capital gains like ordinary income truly addresses the nation's financial woes—or if it instead threatens the innovation engine powering the US economy. The episode also tackled stories from the FBI's headline-grabbing terror prevention efforts, to dramatic revelations involving non-profits and undercover operations, to the relentless advance of surveillance technology, including insect-sized drones.A key theme that emerged was the existential tension between government intervention, personal responsibility, and technological progress—with cultural, economic, and ethical implications unpacked at every turn. Whether examining the West's response to social media, the future of AR glasses, or the cycle of business innovation and decline, the conversation painted a vivid picture of a world in flux, demanding both critical scrutiny and bold action.Chapters: 00:00 JD Vance on US-Iran negotiations07:56 Iran's strategy during US midterms11:29 Economic focus for Middle East peace22:33 Trump's economic leverage with Iran24:11 Economic strategies and potential impacts30:56 Questioning the drone attack plot38:22 Japan's economic challenges post-COVID39:37 AI investment and financial concerns44:51 Discussing new tax proposals53:42 Critique of Economic Approaches56:42 Inherited debt and tax myths01:02:07 Discussing budget cuts and taxation01:08:29 Discussing national debt solutions01:13:31 Criticism of Southern Poverty Law Center01:17:35 Questioning goodness of NGOs01:23:19 Privacy concerns in online safety01:27:50 Future of AR Glasses and Contacts01:32:53 Future AI and reality confusion01:41:15 Industry veterans discuss company failures01:44:01 Startup lifecycle and innovation turnover01:48:28 Reevaluating Game Development StrategiesSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Is the bond market really warning of a U.S. debt crisis — or are investors misreading a distorted market signal? Michael Green, Chief Strategist and Portfolio Manager at Simplify Asset Management, joins Maggie Lake to explain why passive investing, regulation, and hidden leverage may be warping the way markets price risk. He argues that what many see as a collapse warning in long-term bonds may actually be a mechanical consequence of how capital is being allocated. Green also breaks down why investors may be ignoring one of the clearest retirement opportunities in years, why liquidity is weakening beneath mega-cap stocks, and why he believes the “real craziness” in markets may still be ahead.

The bond market is flashing red—and Japan may have just lit the fuse on America's $40 trillion debt bomb. The US debt crisis is no longer some distant Washington accounting problem. It is now bleeding directly into Treasury yields, mortgage rates, retirement portfolios, and the global demand for dollars.Questions on Protecting Your Wealth with Gold & Silver?

On his 40th birthday, Derek Thompson takes a step back and looks at how his thinking on the national debt has changed. Back when he first covered fiscal policy, concern about government borrowing was mostly a conservative position, with many liberals arguing it was overblown. That's starting to shift. The U.S. now spends far more than it brings in, and the gap is still growing. For the first time, interest payments on the debt have surpassed military spending. And deficits that once rose during crises like the Great Recession and the COVID pandemic haven't really come back down. So what changed, and how worried should we be? Derek is joined by economist Justin Wolfers to walk through the basics of the federal budget, the evolving debate around the national debt, and why more economists are starting to take persistent deficits seriously.

Stijn Schmitz welcomes Michael Oliver to the show. Michael Oliver is Momentum Structural Analysis MSA. Oliver argues that a major government bond crisis is quietly underway, driven by unsustainable debt levels in the US and other developed nations. He contends that the T-bond market is on the verge of breaking down to new price lows, an event largely ignored by mainstream financial media but one that could trigger a panic. This looming crisis, he believes, will force central banks into aggressive money printing to defend government bonds, which in turn will act as rocket fuel for gold and silver. Oliver explains that gold's long-term rise is not due to transient geopolitical uncertainty but rather the ongoing degradation of fiat currencies through relentless monetary expansion. He sees the stock market as bloated and in the process of forming a major top, similar to the dot-com and mortgage crisis peaks. When equities eventually falter, capital will flee into hard assets, propelling precious metals into a vertical, “wet bar of soap” phase where everyone scrambles to buy. Silver, which recently broke out of a 50-year price range, is poised for dramatic gains. Oliver projects a move to $300–$500 per ounce, representing hundreds of percent in returns, vastly outpacing gold. He also highlights precious metals miners as an especially attractive opportunity, noting their historically low valuations relative to gold and their potential to double rapidly once they break out on a relative performance basis. Beyond precious metals, Oliver sees a broader commodity supercycle emerging, with oil, grains, and base metals all in technical positions to advance significantly. He advises a long-term, non-leveraged approach to the commodity complex as an asset class shift unfolds. Overall, Oliver's momentum-based analysis points to an imminent, explosive revaluation of hard assets, urging investors to position themselves before the government bond crisis becomes front-page news.

J. Michael Oliver entered the financial services industry in 1975 on the Futures side, joining E.F. Hutton’s International Commodity Division, headquartered in New York City’s Battery Park. He studied under David Johnston, head of Hutton’s Commodity Division and Chairman of the COMEX. In the 1980s, Mike began to develop his proprietary momentum-based method of technical analysis. He learned early on that orthodox price chart technical analysis left many unanswered questions and too often deceived those who trusted in price chart breakouts, support/resistance, and so forth. In 1987 Mike technically anticipated and caught the Crash. It was then that he decided to develop his structural momentum tools into a full analytic methodology. In 1992, the Financial VP and head of Wachovia Bank’s Trust Department asked Mike to provide soft dollar research to Wachovia. Within a year, Mike shifted from brokerage to full-time technical analysis. He is also the author of The New Libertarianism: Anarcho-Capitalism.

Welcome to another episode of Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu, joined by co-host Drew. In this lively and in-depth discussion, Tom Bilyeu and Drew tackle some of the most pressing economic and political issues making headlines today. From the unprecedented U.S. debt levels now exceeding the nation's GDP, to the extension of FISA 702 and ongoing government surveillance, they unpack what these developments mean for the average American. The episode also explores China's controversial move to ban companies from replacing workers with AI purely for cost-cutting, the complex rise of populist movements at home and abroad, and whether financial repression is America's only path forward. Tom Bilyeu and Drew dig into why housing costs are falling in cities like Dallas, how deregulation is reshaping the market, and what we can learn from China's demographic time bomb. The show doesn't shy away from controversy, diving into the indictment threats against Fauci, the “billionaire tax” debate, and a wild viral story about corporate misconduct. As always, there's a balance of critical analysis, spirited debate, and a call for solutions over outrage.

The Fed's balance sheet has quietly grown over $200 billion in 2026 while M2 money supply expands at 5% year-over-year. Meanwhile, NYC Mayor Manda proposes city-owned grocery stores and taxes on non-resident condos — policies Schiff dismantles as the kind of anti-capitalist thinking that drives wealth creators to places like Panama, which is rolling out the welcome mat for every entrepreneur New York chases away.Chapters:00:00 Show Cold Open00:57 Live From Puerto Rico01:59 War Headlines Fuel Rally04:12 Bitcoin Gold Silver Check07:07 Fed Policy And Real Rates08:54 Producer Prices Reality Check11:09 Paulson Warns Debt Crisis19:09 Panama Versus New York Taxes22:21 How Wealth Gets Created25:42 Fair Share And Job Creation30:03 Wealth Creation Backlash31:52 City Owned Grocery Plan34:11 Profit Motive And Prices39:18 Subsidies And Market Damage43:25 Farm Subsidies And USSR45:36 Taxing Nonresident Condos51:06 Why Profit Builds Cities51:59 Property Tax Critique59:44 Closing Markets And GoldFollow @peterschiffX: https://twitter.com/peterschiffInstagram: https://instagram.com/peterschiffTikTok: https://tiktok.com/@peterschiffofficialFacebook: https://facebook.com/peterschiffFree Reports & Market Updates: https://www.europac.comBook Store: https://schiffradio.com/booksSign up for Peter's most valuable insights at https://schiffsovereign.comSchiff Gold News: https://www.schiffgold.com/news#PeterSchiffShow #DebtCrisis #GoldInvestingOur Sponsors:* Check out Fast Growing Trees and use my code GOLD for a great deal: https://www.fast-growing-trees.com* Check out GhostBed: https://ghostbed.com/PETER* Check out Grammarly: https://grammarly.com* Check out Quince: https://quince.com/GOLD* Check out TruDiagnostic and use my code GOLD20 for a great deal: https://www.trudiagnostic.comPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

The Hidden Lightness with Jimmy Hinton – These aren't just statistics—they represent real people facing real pressure. Rising grocery bills, higher energy costs, and mounting debt payments have created a fragile financial environment. For many, the idea of additional tax burdens or another wave of inflation isn't just frustrating—it's unsustainable. There's a growing sense that...

Nearly everything that politicians say about taxes is at least half a lie. They are also dishonest when it comes to the national debt. In this update of an episode from 2025, Stephen Dubner finds one of the few people in Washington who is willing to tell the truth — and it's even worse than you think.   SOURCES: Jessica Riedl, budget and tax fellow at the Brookings Institution.   RESOURCES: "How Did DOGE Disrupt So Much While Saving So Little?" by Emily Badger, David Fahrenthold, Alicia Parlapiano, and Margot Sanger-Katz (New York Times, 2025).
