Sprott Money, Released on 11/26/24

In this episode, Craig Hemke sits down with Stephanie Pomboy of MacroMavens to discuss the critical challenges facing the U.S. economy and their implications for gold and silver markets. Is the Fed’s “higher for longer” interest rate policy sustainable, or are we nearing a tipping point for financial instability? They explore the pressures of rising debt service costs, a strained corporate sector, and the potential for renewed quantitative easing. Discover how gold’s stellar performance in 2024 reflects growing concerns over fiscal deficits and the potential for monetary intervention. Plus, find out why the BRICS nations’ moves in global finance could further strengthen gold’s position as a cornerstone of the world economy. Is this a time for caution or a golden opportunity for investors?
