Head
of the Trends
Research Institute,
Gerald Celente expresses
concerns over the potential
for a showdown of epic
proportions in the Middle
East.
Extreme
tensions in the region
could ignite the crude
oil market, sending
price per barrel soaring
while sparking a stampede
into the precious metals
sector.
The
theme could benefit
gold shares as well,
according to the work
of Seabridge Gold CEO,
Rudi Fronk, who notes
peak gold is in place.
Barrick
Gold CEO noted that
the ailing quality of
gold quality ore and
lessened production
levels combined with
few major new gold discoveries
and lengthy time to
production, bodes well
for the gold price.
The expert close-combat
practitioner examines
the nascent global trade
war, sparked by the
2018 US trade tariffs.
While
policymakers applaud
record unemployment
rate, when adjusted
for inflation the real
employment wage lags
price increases.
Low
wages hampers the disposable
income of the masses,
widening the gap between
the wealthy and the
hoi polloi beyond any
industrial nation, worldwide.
US
share prices may be
overextended, as the
initial tax cuts behind
much of the recent rally
unwind and only a handful
of key stocks in the
tech sector.
The
FANG stocks continue
to lead the indexes
higher.
Bill
Murphy of GATA.org
notes precious metals investors
will ultimately be rewarded
for their patience.
An endgame scenario is unfolding
in the financial markets that
could result in an explosive
move higher for safe haven
assets.
As
long as US equities remain
the risk-off trade, du jour,
the PMs may remain in a cyclical
trading range.
The
nascent trade skirmish has
already impacted the housing
sector.
Import
taxes on Canadian lumber have
increased the cost of new
home construction domestically
by $9,000 per unit.
The
additional expense is passed
along to the home purchaser.
Already
desperate domestic farmers
are finding it even more challenging
to make financial ends meet,
amid soybean tariffs on Asian
imports.
The
key impact of tariffs could
be stagflation, as higher
prices stifle global economic
output while encouraging price
hikes.
A final warning from a US
ally echoes the sentiments
of history - when trade halts
between national borders,
more often than not, military
boots cross.
I.e.
a trade war could ignite a
global military skirmish.
While
the looming threat continues
to boost US defensive and
security share prices, ultimately
PMs will benefit from the
dual risk of insidious inflation
/ economic stagnation and
global conflict.

The
Martial Artist of Trend
Forecasting —The purpose
of trend forecasting is
to provide insights and
directions in anticipation
of what the future may bring
– and to be prepared
for the unexpected.
Gerald
Celente, a Close Combat
practitioner and black
belt trainer, well understands
the importance of proacting
rather than reacting:
"The first rule of
Close Combat is to attack
the attacker. Action is
faster than reaction.
The same holds true for
the future. You know the
future is coming …
attack it before it attacks
you."
Founder
of The Trends Research
Institute in 1980, Gerald
Celente is a pioneer trend
strategist. He is author
of the national bestseller
Trends 2000 and Trend
Tracking (Warner Books)
– "Far better
than Megatrends,"
and publisher of the internationally
circulated Trends Journal
newsletter.
Political
Atheist — Gerald
Celente is a political
atheist. Unencumbered
by political dogma, rigid
ideology or conventional
wisdom, Celente, whose
motto is "think for
yourself," observes
and analyzes the current
events forming future
trends for what they are
– not for the way
he wants them to be.
Like
a doctor giving a diagnosis
after gathering the facts,
whether or not you like
the prognosis doesn’t
alter the outcome, make
him an optimist or pessimist
– it’s simply
what is. And while Celente
holds a US passport, he
considers himself a citizen
of the world.
Globalnomic®
Trend Forecaster —
Using his unique perspectives
on current events forming
future trends, Gerald
Celente developed the
Globalnomic® methodology
which is used to identify,
track, forecast and manage
trends.
The
world's only trends analyst
covering 300 diversified
trends fields, Gerald
Celente and the Trends
Research Institute provide
trend research studies
and consulting services
to businesses and governments
worldwide. Celente also
designed the nation’s
first professional course
in trend forecasting.
The
proof is in his past —
Gerald Celente has earned
his reputation as "The
most trusted name in trends"
by accurately forecasting
hundreds of social, business,
consumer, environmental,
economic, political, entertainment,
and technology trends.
Among them:
Celente coined the term
"clean foods"
in 1993 and predicted
sustained growth in organic
products in 1988.
When
gold was at $275 per ounce
in 2002, Celente said
the price had bottomed
and in 2004 forecast the
beginning of the "Gold
Bull Run." Since
that time, with pinpoint
accuracy, he said when,
why - and how high - gold
would go. *youtube.com

Head
of The
Morgan Report, David Morgan rejoins
the show with comments on the PMs sector
noting that gold remains a "free
lunch" diversification asset.
