The markets are anything but calm this week. Join host Mark Longo and special guest Erik Norland, Chief Economist at CME Group, as they break down a historic surge in volatility across every major asset class. From geopolitical tensions driving double-digit moves in crude oil to the "incoherent" signals between gold and treasury yields, we dive deep into the data you need to navigate this changing landscape.

On this episode, we discuss:

• Energy: WTI Crude's 21%+ surge—is the market pricing in a long-term Middle East disruption, or is the move surprisingly muted?

• Metals: Why Gold and Silver are decoupling from the "flight to quality" narrative and what the 6,000 strike in Gold tells us about long-term sentiment.

• Crypto: The "Digital Gold" debate—Erik explains why the correlation between Bitcoin and Gold remains near zero despite the recent volatility.

• Rates & Credit Spreads: A look at the massive volume in 10-year notes and why narrowing credit spreads might be ignoring brewing risks in private credit.

• Equities: The rotation from large-caps to small-caps—is the Russell 2000 rally overdone, or is there more room to run?

On this episode of This Week in Futures Options, Mark Longo and Carley Garner of DeCarley Trading dive into a turbulent week across the CME Group complex. From the post-Nvidia "bloodletting" in the equities to the persistent volatility in the energy pits, they break down the moves that matter.

• The Movers & Shakers: A heavy tilt toward the "light side" with metals dominating the leaderboard. Why silver and platinum are lighting up the tape while the "Widowmaker" Nat Gas slides.

• Equities: Analyzing the post-earnings Nvidia hangover. Is the market rotation finally here, and what's behind the massive hunt for yield in the Nasdaq?

• Energy: Getting "Crude" with WTI. Carley explains why the Middle East tension is priced in, but the real story might be coming from Venezuela. Plus, a look at those tempting (and cheap) downside puts.

• Metals: Why speculators are suddenly "getting base" with Copper. Is Copper the next big meme trade, or is it just a classic boom-and-bust cycle?

In this action-packed episode, Mark Longo and Scott Bauer of Prosper Trading Academy dissect a market where standard playbooks are being thrown out the window. From "meme-style" moves in Silver to heavy hedging in the S&P 500, we break down the institutional flow and retail frenzy.

• The Equity Craze: Why everyone has put spreads on the brain. We analyze the heavy volume in the E-mini S&P 500 March 6600/6500 vertical and the "frothy" volatility return to the Russell 2000.

• Energy Inflection: WTI Crude is at a crossroads. We discuss the $5-$10 move potential based on geopolitical headlines and the "Grand Slam" reversal in Natural Gas.

• Meme Stock Metals: Triple-digit volatility in Silver has transformed it into a meme-trader's paradise. Are the April 125 calls a total YOLO, or is there method to the madness?
