Deep dives
The possibility of a severe economic correction in 2024
Henrik Zeeberg predicts a recession in 2024 that will be worse than the 1929 market crash. He bases his prediction on leading indicators that show a decline similar to the period before the financial crisis. Henrik emphasizes the societal fallout and potential deflationary bust caused by the end of the money printing era.
The expectation of a strong US economy in 2024
Henrik Zeeberg expects the US economy to remain strong in the first half of 2024, influenced by leading indicators and the labor market. However, he believes a strong recession will set in after mid-2024, potentially worse than the 1929 market crash. Henrik mentions the importance of monitoring leading indicators like housing permits and initial claims to gauge the declining economy.
The significance of interest rates and inflation on the economy
Henrik Zeeberg highlights the negative impact of rising interest rates and inflation on the average consumer. He argues that higher interest rates and personal interest payments, along with high inflation, cause significant financial strain on individuals, affecting consumption and leading to an economic decline.
The potential implications for gold and oil
Henrik Zeeberg suggests that gold may have already reached its peak and could decline significantly, particularly during a deflationary bust. He anticipates a similar decline in oil prices due to the deflationary environment. Henrik emphasizes the importance of having liquidity and mentions the possibility of shorting assets like Bitcoin during the crisis.
China's economic challenges
Henrik Zeeberg acknowledges China's economic troubles, particularly the consequences of their property bubble and the potential impact on the global economy. He suggests that China's problems, along with other global issues, could contribute to the deflationary bust he predicts.
