The VIX isn’t just a fear gauge. Sometimes it’s a FOMO gauge. In Ep. 5 of U Got Options, I talk with Mandy Xu and Ed Tom from the Cboe Market Intelligence team about what’s really driving volatility, why 60% of SPX volume is now zero DTE, and how positioning moves markets. 🎧 Watch:

Why is fiscal dominance inevitable? On U Got Options, I ask Lyn Alden why "this train doesn't stop." She explains the historical rotation from private debt bubbles to the public ledger. When the system hits the zero-bound, the only path forward is printing and fiscal injections. The momentum of 50 years of debt is now the driver. Full episode:

In the latest U Got Options episode, Lyn Alden and I dig into the "momentum effect" of the dollar’s reserve status. While the "Empire" gains global surveillance and sanction power, the "Republic" pays a structural price, shipping off its industrial base year after year. As Lyn explains, we are reaching the "stretching point" where the world begins to question if these trade deficits are good for all of us, or just a few. Catch the full episode in the link below 👇

Most people look at AI and only see the first-order deflationary effect. But on U Got Options, I discuss with Lyn Alden why AI is an "incredible accelerant" for the populist cycle. The more it threatens white-collar wages, the more inflationary the fiscal response will be. It’s not a coincidence. It’s a closed system. Full episode:

Ben Hunt made the point that in certain market regimes, traditional fundamentals can feel less influential. In those environments, narratives from central banks and corporate leadership may carry more weight, which can materially change how capital is allocated and risk is managed.

"Free markets, the natural system is dominant. ... The reality is, if just in terms of pure science and physics of the world and how the world, biology, the world, the way the world works, life is not fair. Equality is not an actual construct. It is a made up construct that we create....I do believe ultimately that if you don't follow the natural system, it's more inefficient and things become a bigger problem at the end of the day."

Price vs narrative isn’t an either/or. Ben Hunt explained how price action and narrative can influence each other through reflexive feedback loops, where shifts in confidence and belief may reinforce outcomes over time rather than move independently.

Markets aren’t driven by data alone. In my conversation with Ben Hunt , he broke market narratives into three buckets: how we remember the past, how we frame the present, and what we expect will happen next. Those expectations may matter most in a forward-looking market. Watch the full U Got Options from the Cboe Floor episode with Ben Hunt here 👉
