In this short clip from Macro-To-Micro Options Power Hour recorded on February 26, 2025, Samantha LaDuc and Hans Albrecht discuss market timing, volatility, and macro risks affecting equities, bonds, and commodities.

Samantha highlights recent market movements, noting that her forecast of a pullback was accurate, but she expects a temporary bottom due to Nvidia earnings and jobless claims before more downside risk emerges.

She also emphasizes significant hedging activity, particularly in at-the-money put options across various assets, reflecting uncertainty ahead of key events like the potential government shutdown.

Overall, she sees a late-cycle market with continued volatility, reversion-to-mean patterns, and a bearish outlook for the end of the year.
