This week on Protect the Pile, the team breaks down a market being hit from every angle: war risk in the Middle East, oil above $110, rising volatility, and a sharp shift from bullish setups to a far more defensive tape. They explore why investors need to hold narratives loosely, how gold, commodities, and the dollar are behaving, and why AI, private credit, and liquidity stress could all collide if conditions worsen. The message is clear: in a chop bucket, preserving capital matters most. Expect a tactical, no-nonsense conversation on risk, regime change, and what could come next for portfolios.
