Craig Hemke, Founder and Editor of TF Metals Report, joins us for a discussion on the key macroeconomic drivers he’s watching that are continuing to feed the stagflation backdrop as it relates to inflation, high energy prices, a slowing economic growth outlook, and changes coming the labor markets.
Craig highlights some passages from the book, “When Money Dies” by Adam Fergusson, and recommends it to people concerned about where the economic health and fiscal trends may be heading. The discussion covers a number of macro factors like the Fed’s policy tug-of-war between fighting inflation and collapsing the markets, the true impacts of the rising energy sector, how higher input costs will affect corporate earnings and employment, and how an ongoing stagflationary recession may underpin longer-term intrinsic value in hard assets like gold and silver.
