I sat down with analyst and former oil trader Alex Krainer at Deutsche Goldmesse to break down why commodity prices matter now more than ever. We get into $4,000+ gold, hedging mistakes that cost miners billions, and why he thinks Western bonds and major currencies are facing serious downside risk.We also talk AI, geopolitics, and how these trends could shape the next big macro move.#Geopolitics #ForeignPolicy #WorldAffairs---------------------👨‍💼 Guest: Alex Krainer🏢 Company: Alex Krainer Substack & I System Trend Follower🌎 https://substack.com/profile/21365744-alex-krainer🌎 https://isystem-tf.com/𝕏 @nakedhedgie📺 @alexkrainer302 📅 Recording date: November 15, 2025---------------------📰 Up-to-Date Commodity Prices & Commentary 📰👉 Clear Commodity Network 👈🌎 https://clearcommodity.net/ 🌎►► Follow Us! ◄◄Twitter: http://twitter.com/soarfinancialWebsite: http://www.soarfinancial.com/Timestamps (AI-generated)00:00 – Intro00:55 – Why commodity prices matter01:32 – How trading taught him “price is everything”02:26 – Hedging mistakes that cost billions04:15 – Famous hedging blowups05:40 – Should miners hedge?07:00 – Trend-following hedge approach08:36 – Trading around $4,400 gold10:14 – Spotting reversals vs consolidations11:47 – When to hedge gold corrections12:18 – Commodities as geopolitical signals13:25 – Pandemic crash & extreme moves14:16 – Big bear market in bonds15:03 – Historic bond drawdown16:01 – Europe’s bond & currency risks16:30 – Could this mirror past collapses?17:24 – Euro, pound, yen, CAD outlook17:48 – How the U.S. may respond differently18:20 – Resources: Canada, Greenland, Venezuela19:05 – War risks & political timing20:25 – Capturing resources & labor20:46 – Is the U.S. winning AI?21:06 – AI bubble & energy cost22:14 – The energy problem behind AI22:40 – Why Chinese AI is cheaper23:07 – Testing China vs U.S. AI23:27 – Final thoughts*Disclaimer:*Some of the links presented might be affiliate links.
