Alasdair Macleod launches weekly wrap on KWN, covering gold, silver, and macro risks. Investors should watch for shifts in precious metals sentiment and positioning.
Alasdair Macleod, a five-decade veteran of the London Stock Exchange, has launched a weekly wrap series on KWN. The series will cover commodities, gold, silver, equity and bond markets. Macleod is known for his thesis that gold is money and the rest is credit, a view that often runs counter to mainstream macro narratives.
The launch comes at a time when gold has been consolidating near record levels. Macleod's commentary could reinforce the bull case among retail and institutional investors who track his work. His background in commodities and corporate finance gives him a credibility that may sway positioning in gold ETFs and mining equities.
Investors with exposure to GLD, IAU, or GDX should note that the wrap is released weekly. Each episode could introduce new data points on central bank gold buying, monetary debasement, or geopolitical risks that Macleod frequently highlights. The first episode is available now.
Directly affected assets include gold, silver, and related equities. Indirectly, bond markets and currency pairs like EUR/USD could see volatility if Macleod's analysis triggers a re-evaluation of fiat currency risks.
What would reduce the risk: if Macleod's views are already priced into current gold levels, or if his commentary aligns with consensus forecasts.
What would make it worse: if his analysis uncovers new evidence of monetary instability or supply constraints in precious metals, prompting a rush to safe havens.
London Stock Exchange Group plc (LSEGY) carries an Alpha Score of 31/100, labeled Weak. The stock page is available at LSEGY stock page. While the weekly wrap does not directly involve LSEG, Macleod's long association with the exchange adds context to his market commentary.
The next decision point for investors is the second weekly wrap, which will set the tone for whether this series becomes a must-watch for gold bulls or fades into background noise.
