Why today’s inflation is hitting so hard

Greetings!

With inflation raging at a 41-year high above 9%, the Fed is hung on the horns of a dangerous dilemma. It must raise interest rates aggressively to lower inflation, but by how much? Too little, and inflation may become entrenched, perhaps for years; too much, and the US economy could tip into a recession. The stakes could not be higher for all of us.

To place the current inflationary landscape into perspective, AGE’s Gold Commentary is presenting a two-part special report called “Inflation’s Disruptive Power.”

Here is Part One, “Inflation Then and Now.” This episode analyzes the recent history of US inflationary cycles, the conditions that have created them, and the actions taken by the Fed to bring them under control. Part Two, “Inflation’s Cost and Effect,” will be coming soon.

Please join me for Part One by clicking the link below to view the video. You can also find it by going to the AGE YouTube channel.

Sincerely,
