Alasdair Macleod: Dollar Faces Weimar-Style Collapse in 2026

Alasdair Macleod (https://substack.com/@macleodfinance) with a chilling outlook for 2026: the US dollar's purchasing power is collapsing faster than markets admit — not a gold bull market, but a dollar bear market accelerating toward hyperinflation territory reminiscent of Weimar Germany.In this must-watch interview, Macleod breaks down:Why Fed rate cut hopes are dangerous hopium amid soaring inflation signalsMassive margin debt & equity overvaluation worse than 1929 — setting up a brutal stock market crashInevitable massive QE rescue → further dollar devaluation & foreign capital flight ($22T+ at risk)China's aggressive moves: hoarding 20,000+ tons of gold, massive silver accumulation, telling institutions to dump US Treasuries, banning crypto → prepping for Yuan reset (possibly silver-backed domestically?)Silver squeeze exploding: derivatives mountain vs. physical shortage → potential $100–$500+ pricesCommodities (food, base metals, oil) set to skyrocket in dollar terms as fiat distortions correctGeopolitical flashpoints (Ukraine escalation, Iran/Israel/US risks, Strait of Hormuz → $300 oil?)Why mining stocks (especially silver) offer value — but beware counterparty & certificate risks in a meltdownMacleod's core message: equities & bonds are doomed in fiat terms, but gold & silver represent final settlement money and long-term price stability.
