Geopolitical and Monetary Impact of the China Virus?
James Rickards, Michael Oliver and Chris Taylor return as guests this week on the radio program.
The lockdown of the global economy resulting from the virus exported by China to the world has not only caused deaths approaching 200,000 but has triggered a global economic depression that may rival or surpass that of the 1930s. Will the carnage left behind impact the current balance of power between China and the U.S? What will be the outcome?
As the Fed and other central banks around the world print an infinite amount of money, how will that not decimate fiat currencies leading to hyperinflation and a massive demand for gold, silver, and other tangible assets? We will seek James' thoughts on those issues.
Likewise, we will ask Michael to let us know what his latest momentum and structural analysis is saying about stocks, bonds and the precious metals markets. Chris will update us on one of the most significant new gold discoveries in recent years, which is moving forward despite COVID-19 travails.
