World markets are so intertwined these days — what happens in one region of the financial markets can affect another halfway around the world.
New markets in the global space are emerging all the time. And the key to growing your wealth is looking outside the box. The world is truly your oyster.
Here’s how the world market is looking at the moment…
Getting back to normal probably won’t happen. Too much of our economy now depends on very abnormal interest rates. As real rates go up, businesses, households, and the federal government will be unable to refinance. They will go broke, default, or, in the case of the feds, print more money.
In today’s Money Morning, I’ll look at a huge signal from late last week and why it means things could get nasty in the short term. However, understanding the possible reaction to this worsening situation could actually be a big opportunity in a very specific industry.
US inflation came in a tad higher than expected this week. Which absolutely hammered markets in the US. Europe is in for a miserable winter of inflation too. And Australia is far from immune.
The Fed is expected to raise its key rate by 75 basis points (0.75%) at its meeting next week, putting more pressure on debtors. Some people are urging the Fed to go easy, fearing — correctly — that they might drive the economy into a deeper recession.
I’ve been addressing the war on cash lately, and for good reason. While everyone’s attention is focused on the war in Ukraine, inflation, and the Supreme Court, government plans to eliminate cash are accelerating.
It’s another grand experiment…a ‘teachable moment’ in human history. But are humans really teachable? Aren’t the TV shows of 2022 full of the same wickedness and errors committed 2,000 years ago?
