Deep dives

Economic Concerns and Inflation Hedging

The current economic climate raises concerns about a potential solvency crisis overshadowing traditional financial downturns. With federal debt surpassing $35 trillion and revenue at approximately $4.5 trillion, the country’s financial health mirrors an unsustainable household ratio of high debt to income. The Federal Reserve's recent moves, including rate cuts, reflect a panic response rather than a confident strategy. To safeguard investments amidst this uncertainty, focusing on inflation hedges, such as real estate and precious metals, is advisable as inflation is likely to remain a persistent issue.
