Inflation recently fell to its lowest annual rate in more than two years, but many investors remain wary about what to do with their money moving forward. On today’s show, Daniela sits down with Nomi Prins, geopolitical finance expert and bestselling author. Nomi stresses investors must avoid letting fear guide their investment decisions in order to uncover buying opportunities as this rampant market uncertainty drags on. She says, “The best way to navigate [the noise] as an investor is to ignore what the Fed
does if it raises rates by another two incremental rate hikes within the next several months. The reality is it’s not going to impact the quality of investments, place in which we’re investing, or how those investments perform.”

When it comes to the Fed’s upcoming launch of its FedNow instant-money platform, Naomi believes it only serves as a ploy for the central bank to increase its foothold in the digital currency space. “Without the makings of a digital footprint, you don’t have the makings of a digital coin,” she asserts. Continuing with the theme of de-dollarization, Naomi warns that this trend could affect the long term outlook of the markets as foreign adversaries aim to chip away at the value of the U.S. dollar. “I don’t actually think it’s going to be replaced in our lifetimes, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t a trading pattern here that’s emerging,” she concludes.
