The world has become a lot more volatile over the past few weeks. Markets are lurching up & down as investors have become suddenly concerned about contagion — and not just from the new COVID variants, but contagion from the failure of big players in China, like Evergrande, and contagion from rising input costs caused by both stimulus and snarled global supply chains. A mind-boggling amount of money — tens of trillions of dollars worth of monetary & fiscal stimulus — has been issued around the world since the pandemic broke out last year. But the global economy is slowing fast, led by Asia — and China in particular. How can the boost to the economy from such a massive flood of money already be over? How worried should we be? And what are the likely implications? To tackle these important questions, I’m thrilled to welcome Jim Bianco back onto the program.

Part 1 (part 2 below)

Our interview with macro researcher Jim Bianco continues here in Part 2, where Jim offers his assessment on the likelihood of a coming correction, as well as which asset classes he favors for the current market environment. He also has a lot more to say about the Federal Reserve as well the breaking developments regarding the SEC’s tighter stance on cryptocurrencies. Jim thinks SEC Chair Gary Gensler and US Treasury head Janet Yellen are starting a crackdown on Bitcoin and its counterparts in preparation of a CBDC (digital dollar or FedCoin)
