As we head into the final quarter of 2023, where are markets likely to go next? The dramatic run-up in stocks seen in the first half of the year has run out of steam. Is the peak for the year behind us, or will stocks power higher into December? And bond prices continue dropping. US Treasurys look on track to log their first consecutive 3-year decline in market history. Is there any hope of a reversal anytime soon? In uncertain times like these, it's wise to tap the counsel of those with decades...

According to todays guest expert, there is a rare and powerful trend occurring in bond markets. Bond analyst Alf Pecatiello warns that over the last 3 months, US bond markets are in an aggressive and prolonged period of bear steepening of the yield curve. History shows, if left unchecked, this steepening is likely to cause serious damage to equity markets and the economy. To find out why, we'll hear from Alf himself. ************************ At Wealthion, we show you how to protect and build you...

Monetary expert Matthew Piepenburg of GoldSwitzerland.com returns for Part 2 of our interview with him in which he explains why, whenever countries become too indebted (as we are now) it's ALWAYS the currency that's sacrificed. In the long run, hyperinflation is likely to be the end result. But in the near term, a recession & bear market correction look quite likely. Which makes the current environment a highly uncertain one for the individual investor. ************************ At Wealthion,...

Right now, surprisingly robust economic growth of 4.9% is currently expected for Q3. And inflation remains contained below 4%, less than half where it was a year ago. This is great news, right? The economy has rebounded, the Fed is taming inflation, and we've dodged the risk of a recession. Not really, warns Matthew Piepenburg of Matterhorn Asset Management, AG (proprietor of Goldswitzerland.com). In fact, this is a dangerously WRONG narrative that too many are swallowing right now.

In continuing "higher for longer", the gravitational force weighing on the economy from current elevated interest rates will compound, resulting in "weaker for longer" economic growth. Powell knows this and re-emphasized (once again) that the full force -- i.e., the lag effect -- of the Fed's hiking & tightening regime has not yet manifested. Key takeaway: conditions are going to get harder from here, especially through next year. The Fed is expecting the labor market weaken and unemployment...

While the Fed has succeeded in bringing inflation as measured by headline CPI down from 9% to under 4%, it hasn't won the battle yet. In fact, CPI has been rising over the past several months. Today's expert cautions that we're likely to see an unwelcome transition from what he calls "immaculate disinflation" to "sticky inflation", which could serve as the death nail for the current bull run in the markets. Why? Well, let's ask him. We're fortunate to have market analyst Darius Dale return to th...

With interest rates higher than they've been in over 20 years, many analysts and economists have expected the economy - and then the markets - to buckle under the higher cost of debt. After all, we have 6x the total public debt as we did that last time interest rates were this high. But whether that will eventually prove true, the markets are priced as if it won't. Right now, they're priced for no recession, no adverse lag effects from the historically aggressive hiking & tightening campaign...

The last time today's guest expert was on this channel, he warned that rising interest rates would cause a surge in the debt service cost on America's national debt -- and that THAT would perhaps be the destabilizing trigger that would "break something" and force a policy pivot by the Federal Reserve. Well, the first half of that prediction has proven correct. Interest on the national debt is on track to exceed $1 trillion in 2025 -- that's more than a doubling vs last fiscal year. So, what abou...

There's a lot of disagreement right now about where the markets are headed. Much of Wall Street is hoping the rally from the first half of the year will re-ignite, and there's a fair amount of technical analysis suggesting it very well may. But more investors are starting to worry about the impact of today's bond yields. Suddenly, talk is everywhere about how high they are and fear is growing that they may still rise materially higher. And of course, fundamental analysts have been warning for qu...

America' is currently running an annual deficit at 9% of GDP. That's an extremely high percentage historically and we've practically never run a deficit this high with unemployment this low. We're essentially running a wartime deficit in a peacetime economy. And a big part of this deficit is the ballooning interest cost we're paying on servicing our national debt -- as interest rates have spiked from near 0% at the start of last year to over 5.25% today. And it doesn't help that tax receipts are...
