Kevin Warsh just concluded his first meeting as Fed Chair, and while the vote was unanimous, the underlying data points to severe economic stress. Bankruptcies are up 38.4% year-over-year, margin debt has hit a record $1.42 trillion, and the Fed is officially forecasting that inflation will stay stuck at current levels.
Kitco News Senior Anchor Jeremy Szafron sits down with Fed insider and QI Research CEO Danielle DiMartino Booth to break down why the Fed's refusal to signal rate cuts is accelerating a debt crisis. DiMartino Booth exposes the real labor market numbers, warns of a looming private credit blowup, and explains why the immediate $150 drop in gold might actually be a textbook buying opportunity for investors seeking cover.
