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.

Stephanie Pomboy just told us that gold hitting $6,000 by year-end is a "no brainer" because the Fed will inevitably have to print money to bail out a $4 trillion pension shortfall. Do you agree with her timeline and price target? Let me know your thoughts below!
they will confiscate all the gold then valuevit to 20,000. boom no more debt.
Are these guys short gold by chance ?
Why do we have to pay for these idiots mistakes
Massive bailout coming. I was listening to an interview Steph was giving a while ago and to paraphrase her. Someday the Fed is going to jump back in the car (printing press) only to find out there is no motor.
Brilliant
Gas isn't $5 a gallon in Florida. Why didn't they restock the Reserve last year??
If u think this Epstein regime cares about the people's affordability…u got another thing coming
Steph paying $5 a gallon for gas for that German automobile, filling up premium I see, I feel the pain too.
The US regime should all be in prison. The war keeps the regime preoccupied and not able to make a move on Greenland, Mexico or trying to turn Canada into the 51st state. So the longer this goes on the better. This also turns more americans against the orange hued turnip and the midterms should blowup his mandate👍💥
“Control Congress” ? The GOP gave up all control of spending to one moronic excuse for a man
Excellent knowledgeable guest🍀🇺🇸🩷✔️
Fascinating conversation!
Always good to hear from Stephanie Pomboy. She doesn't pull her punches.
In the U.K. we’re paying the equivalent of one dollar 80 for petrol or gas as you guys call it
More cowbell!!!! Love it 🙂
She’s good🇨🇦
Slowly, slowly get them into private credit , then into the pension funds , skim off there fees upfront and then everything into the dumpster. Where are the regulators while this is going on. Are they asleep at the switch or are they standing aside watching ?
Gold crashing.. 4500 bucks as of today.. 1000 bucks down of the high..
As gold dumps to 4600$…. Lady’s and gentlemen don’t FOMO.. just dca gold silver and bitcoin and land things the fed can’t print you’ll do great!
Congratulations Stephanie. Thank you.
Continue to pump new dollars in World economy, that money goes to China and U.S will collapse. Why China is winning ? because creating more dollars feeds their export. Dollar borroving countries making their import with that borrowed Dollars from China. Is it too hard to see that fact? U.S. loosing to China because of that QE, over liqudity.
Trump starting a war has doomed him in the mid terms.
So a great buying opportunity.
Nothing more attractive than an intelligent and thoughtful woman.
Who buys gold? Not the Americans can public. They unfortunately lose.
if you think the economy is in a good place.. that is crazy.
Galloway says Gold diving to $ 3500 by yeat end!! 2 specialists having opposite opinions. How is this possible ??
If we are fully energy independent why are we releasing oil Reserves?
$5 a gallon after attacking Iran and you're shocked?SMFH!
Golden silver are highly leveraged and when risk is on leverage pulls out
Useless info babe prattle. … Almost have to give the broader pass as all of this is manipulation and she's the perfect foil for saying "nothing to see here, move along.'
