Geopolitical Dynamics Affecting Europe

The ongoing geopolitical instability is significantly weakening the euro, largely due to political uncertainty and energy vulnerabilities, particularly in Europe. As these tensions escalate, analysts warn that Europe's economic situation could lead to a broader collapse. Tom Luongo emphasizes that this crisis will trigger a massive safe-haven trade across traditionally uncorrelated asset classes, including gold, Bitcoin, stocks, bonds, and the dollar.
