This Happened Right Before 2008 (It's Happening Again!)

In this episode, Alessandro sits down with macro analyst Steven Van Metre for a deep dive into the mounting cracks in the global economy and why some of them resemble the early stages of 2008. They explore stress in the private credit market, rising consumer delinquencies, weakening labor data, and the growing disconnect between stock markets and economic reality. The conversation also covers corporate buybacks, AI-driven capex, bond market signals, the yen carry trade, and where capital may flow if conditions tighten further. A wide-ranging macro breakdown of what’s happening beneath the surface and what could come next. ___________________________________________ 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗕𝗘𝗦𝗧 𝗗𝗘𝗔𝗟𝗦 & 𝗦𝗜𝗚𝗡 𝗨𝗣 𝗥𝗘𝗪𝗔𝗥𝗗𝗦 ⬇⬇⬇⬇⬇⬇ 🟩 𝗚𝗥𝗩𝗧 - 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗱𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗦𝗽𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗣𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗮𝗰𝘆! ☑️ Earn 10% interest on your total trading account balance! 👉 𝗝𝗼𝗶𝗻 𝗻𝗼𝘄: https://bit.ly/grvt-alessandro _________ 🔒 𝗟𝗘𝗗𝗚𝗘𝗥 - 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗕𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗖𝗼𝗹𝗱 𝗪𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝘁 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗖𝗮𝗻 𝗛𝗮𝘃𝗲! 🚨 Receive $10 of Bitcoin with your purchase. 👉 Explore Ledger: https://bit.ly/Ledger-Alessandro _________ 🛡️ 𝗡𝗢𝗥𝗗 𝗩𝗣𝗡 - 𝗕𝗲 𝗨𝗻𝗵𝗮𝗰𝗸𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲!
