Slow Cooking in a Microwave World: Reading Beyond the Economic Headlines

This week, Gerald Celente of the Trends Journal joins us for an explosive interview on a range of topic, including gold's rise, the pending death of the dollar and why Gerald is more concerned now than ever that we're on the verge of World War III.  In fact, he believes that it’s already begun. 

The central bankers at the Federal Reserve are saying one thing and doing another. They're telling us that the economy is great and inflation isn't completely dead. But they're acting like the economy is crashing and inflation doesn't matter. In this episode of the Money Metals' Midweek Memo, host Mike Maharrey breaks Federal Reserve officials' words and actions and reminds us that actions speak louder than words.  He also delves into the impact of the recent pivot in Fed monetary policy on financial markets, including gold, silver, and stocks.

Has the weaponization of the dollar put it in danger? The short answer is yes. De-dollarization sounds like a wild conspiracy theory, but it is happening. In this episode of the Money Metals' Midweek Memo, host Mike Maharrey explains what's driving de-dollarization, the possible ramifications, and why gold is a big part of the equation.

Greg Weldon of Weldon Financial, discusses a range of topics, including how he sees a big shift occurring in global geopolitics where more and more countries around the world are telling the U.S. to mind its own business -- and how U.S. elitism is driving more and more countries to team up with BRICS countries. | Do you own precious metals you would rather not sell, but need access to cash?

Gold has basked in the spotlight in recent months, and while silver is up by roughly the same amount in percentage terms this year, most investors feel it has underperformed. But as host Mike Maharrey explains in this episode of the Midweek Memo, technical analysis reveals an extremely bullish pattern emerging in the silver market. Coupled with strong fundamentals, Mike argues there's an extremely strong upside case for silver. In this episode, he also discusses a shift in silver demand from the West to the East, similar to a pattern we've seen in gold. 

This week, Chris Powell of the Gold Anti-Trust Action Committee, gives an explanation of why governments want to keep a lid on precious metals prices, how the weaponization of the dollar has become a very dangerous policy for the U.S. government, and also makes the case that the healthy rise in the price of gold over the past 25 years is a serious indictment against central banks and an indication of how efforts to limit gold’s gains have been less and less successful. | Do you own precious metals you would rather not sell, but need access to cash?

Perspective matters. Something you see up close can appear very different if you step back and look at it from a distance. In this episode of the Money Metals' Midweek Memo, host Mike Maharrey steps back and examines Federal Reserve monetary policy over three decades, providing a different perspective on the trajectory of inflation and the economy than you probably get from mainstream financial media. In this episode, Mike also dives deep into the most recent central bank gold buying data and what's driving it.

We live in a microwave world. But the economy is roasting in a slow cooker. In this episode of the Midweek Memo, host Mike Maharrey talks about modern news media and the struggle to make sense of a slowly unfolding economy in a world where headlines drive decision-making. Along the way, he maps out some of the fundamentals he sees underlying today's economy. He goes on to talk about Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell's Jackson Hole speech and the trajectory of monetary policy in a broader economic context, why more inflation is in the pipeline, and the current state of the gold market.
