Summary:
We’ve been experiencing some intense gyrations in the markets and hearing about how inflation is impacting particular markets. I interview Chris Vermeulen to further discuss this topic, and this phenomenon seems to have a large impact on the precious metals. We’re at an inflection point with the metals, and the whole sector has been out of favor for a year now. In the midst of the late stages of a stock market top, the precious metals start to out-perform other sectors. It also looks as if bonds and the US dollar could hold up pretty well. Listen in for more on what to expect in the markets.

Highlights:
-We’re seeing lots of crazy gyrations in the markets
-We’re being advised not to worry about inflation, but that it’s hear to stay
-We saw gold pop and take off—gold is a good play for inflation. Yet, this was short-lived
-The Fed said they don’t see anything outside of the norm—which everyone bought into
-They did also mention not being prepared for cyber-attacks on the financial industry
-We haven’t seen a huge crisis yet in cyber-security on a global scale
-We’re at an inflection point with the metals—the whole sector has been out of favor for a year
-Gold and miners are all putting in a major bottom
-We’re in the late stages of a stock market top, and this is when the precious metals start to out-perform other sectors
-Oil recently broke to the downside
-Bonds could hold up pretty well, and the US dollar has been holding up exceptionally well
-When there is fear, people move to the US dollar
-Hopefully things will fade back down in the next few years in terms of price
