Understand your risk exposure now with a free portfolio review from Wealthion’s advisor network: https://bit.ly/49DuXDb Markets have been continuously pushing higher, but beneath the surface, the economy is showing cracks in the foundation. In this conversation with Maggie Lake, Henrik Zeberg, head macro economist at Swissblock and author of The Monetary House of Cards, explains why today’s rally may represent the final gasp of a historic bull market, not a sign of durable strength, and breaks down how headline economic data has masked a weakening consumer and a fragile underlying structure. He also explores why threats to Federal Reserve independence could undermine trust in the U.S. monetary system and how geopolitical tensions may compound existing economic stress. In this discussion, Henrik presents a framework for understanding where we are in the cycle and what risks investors may be underestimating. 💡 When trust in systems is tested, tangible assets matter.
