Do the recent headlines speculating that Saudi Arabia may be ready to give up the petrodollar and start pricing oil in grams of gold? Luke Gromen sees that as "inevitable". Here's the link to the Howard Marks investor letter mentioned in this interview: https://www.oaktreecapital.com/insights/memo/sea-change ************************************************* At Wealthion, we show you how to protect...

With the aggressive return of higher interest rates, the gargantuan piles of debt that world nations owe to each other suddenly become a lot more worrisome. Higher interest rates means higher debt service costs. Which means less money left over for governments to fund their operations. Today's guest, macro analyst Luke Gromen, has long warned that the world has been heading into a massive sovereig...

Car prices went bananas after COVID hit -- propelled by inventory shortages from disrupted supply chains & the unprecedented stimulus sent to businesses & households. Now here in 2022, the boom may be ending. Used car prices which nearly doubled post-COVID, have fallen for much of this year -- though still remain much higher than their pre-pandemic lows. Also, lax lending standards in extending au...

A lot of focus is put on the employment rate by today's economists. And by their measure, the jobs market is still robust, with unemployment, currently at 3.7%, down near all-time lows. However, those calculations completely ignore the 100 million US adults categorized as "not in the labor force" who do not work and are not looking for work. That's pretty much 1 out of every 3 US adults. A good nu...

At the close of the worst years for stocks & bonds combined on record, markets are trying to engineer a year-end rally to convince investors the bear market is over. Is it?  And as we enter 2023 where is all this headed? Will asset prices shrug off the growing litany of macro concerns and recover in the new year? Or will 2023 be another bruising year for portfolios? I can't think of anyone better...

Like it or not, central bank policy remains a principal driver of asset prices in the financial markets today. This year the Federal Reserve and many other central banks reversed years of easy monetary policy and began hiking interest rates & tightening their balance sheets. One of the worst years ever for stocks & bonds has ensued. As recently as last week, Fed Chair Jerome Powell answered commen...

With inflation starting to head downwards, the markets are getting hopeful the Fed may pivot or at least pause sooner than expected. And while the Fed is clearly hoping to quell any rampant enthusiasm, investors are busy making up their own minds -- which is a big factor why we saw such a massive rally in both stocks and bonds last week after the October CPI number was released. To get an update o...

A seismic event just rocked the cryptocurrency universe with last week's implosion of FTX, the world's second largest crypto exchange. Tens of $billions in client assets and market value have vaporized. And it seems mismanagement, for certain, and possibly fraud and outright theft lie at the heart of this disaster. To help make sense of what exactly has just happened, and what repercussions the co...
