When today's guest was last on this program in early February, he warned that markets were "in La La Land" -- meaning they were too optimistic at a time the macro data was warning of an approaching recession. Well, here we are, a quarter later and -- after swooning for a month and a half -- the S&P has powered back to exactly where it was when he gave his warning. It's in rally mode despite the macro data raising even more recessionary alarm bells -- that, plus we've experienced several syst...

I've said several times recently on this program, perhaps the most important and yet least appreciated trend that will drive our economic destiny in 2023 will be the lag effect. This refers to the delayed shockwaves the economy experiences when central banks make changes to monetary policy. We experienced one of the sharpest-ever reversals in policy a year ago, but most of the impacts from that have yet to be fully expressed, as they take many months to ripple through the economy before we can s...

A system is only as good as the decisions made by the people running it. Today's guest expert is highly concerned that the leaders currently in charge of our financial system are out of their depth & putting us on a course to crisis.

In his press conference this week, Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell signalled that the Fed is nearing the end of its regime of hiking interest rates, especially as a new tightening of lending standards resulting from the recent banking system woes is equivalent to additional rate hikes. A Fed pause is likely good for gold, as that will end/slow the rise in real interest rates. And should he Fed actually pivot, as the market is pricing in by summer, that should be even more favorable for preci...

The Fed is really feeling the heat these days. While inflation is starting to come down, it's still far too high, with February CPI coming in this week at 6.0%. Similarly, the latest government data on the jobs market shows its still far hotter than the Fed wants. With data like this, the Fed can't justify a pivot. Yet at the same time, the swift & sharp increase in interest rates the Fed has engineered is now starting to result in casualties, such as the banking failures that have happened ...
