Felix Prehn - The UNTHINKABLE is About to Happened to the FED (& Why Gold and Silver are Next) + Stock Market News 11 September 2026 (Goat Academy)

We connect a 44-year low in the Strategic Petroleum Reserve to a larger setup that looks like manufactured calm today and a harsher inflation bill later.

A sulfuric acid export ban sounds boring until we trace how it can choke fertilizer supply, reduce food output and collide with $100 plus oil to drive a sharp inflation shock.

We connect a worrying divergence between falling productivity and falling consumer confidence to the biggest AI spending boom on record, and we explain why that threatens the stock market’s most crowded trades. We also lay out why central banks are buying gold in size, how a gold-linked BRICS settlement “unit” could shift global money flows, and what a 1940s-style debt playbook would mean for everyday purchasing power. • Bank of America’s productivity and confidence chart breaking down together • $1.5 trillion spent on AI with little economy-wide productivity gain • AI leaders calling to slow development and what that implies for timelines • S&P 500 concentration risk with gains driven by a small set of AI stocks • Central banks buying record gold despite a pullback and rate headlines • BRICS “unit” as a settlement system backed partly by gold • Federal Reserve debt buying compared with the 1940s and the inflation risk • Three mistakes to avoid: calling the gold pullback “the end”, assuming index funds equal diversification, waiting for headlines.Support the show👉 Claim 99% Off the Financial Freedom Program.
