Doomberg argues that the U.S. is already in a recession, with multiple economic indicators pointing to a slowdown. He highlights the challenges facing the Trump administration, including internal pushback and flawed trade strategies, which are compounded by a Federal Reserve that appears misaligned with its goals. Ongoing supply chain disruptions, reminiscent of the COVID era, continue to destabilize markets, while rising gold prices suggest a shift in the broader monetary environment. Despite current stability in energy markets, Doomberg warns that geopolitical tensions could rapidly alter the landscape. He advises investors to avoid short-term panic selling, instead focusing on long-term strategies and maintaining a balanced portfolio to weather ongoing uncertainty.
