The Macro Dirt Podcast

In this podcast, Tony Greer and Jared Dillian break down war-driven volatility across oil, equities, rates, and FX as markets struggle for direction. They discuss violent swings in crude around Strait of Hormuz headlines, S&P waterfall price action and relief rallies, AI-bubble risk versus structural bear-market triggers, and the confusing rotation across sectors from cybersecurity and solar strength to weakness in transports and housing.

They also dig into bond market whipsaws, ECB policy reactions to inflation shocks, the dollar’s resistance battle, metals discounting geopolitical risk, energy stocks underperforming crude, and new contrarian trade ideas in beaten-down spirits companies. The conversation later shifts into live-event trends, Broadway nostalgia, and why real-world experiences are becoming the new luxury.

In this podcast, Tony Greer and Jared Dillian are joined by Larry McDonald to break down the growing stress in private credit, why insurance companies may be the hidden bag holders, and how credit markets could signal the next major macro shift. They discuss AI-driven CapEx, disruption across software and credit markets, and the potential rotation from Big Tech into natural resources and energy.

The conversation also dives into emerging-market volatility, the outlook for oil amid geopolitical tensions, data-center energy demand, and why Bitcoin may be starting to look more attractive relative to gold.

Larry shares stories from his Lehman days with Jared, the journey behind his book How to Listen When Markets Speak, and a classic Wall Street origin story that begins with selling pork chops to land his first job in finance.

Along the way, the conversation weaves through resilient oil and energy equities, gold and silver consolidation, the S&P’s struggle near 7,000, and even Team USA’s emotional Olympic gold moment, highlighting how narrative, sentiment, and momentum drive both markets and culture, while also extending a thank you to everyone who attended the TG Macro Conference in Nashville.
