Professor Laurence Kotlikoff,
author of the FREE book: You're
Hired! says gold and silver investors
could emerge victorious.
What
could drive PMs prices higher? Our trading
"partners" are already starting
to make it clear that they don't need
us.
Tensions between the US and key nations
continues to ratchet up on the heels of
Group of Seven nations talks in Canada
this past weekend.
The
trade feud between Washington and Canada,
Mexico, Europe, and China is intensifying.
French President Emmanuel Macron proposed
the US is wrecking global diplomatic relations,
calling for the US to be removed from
the G-7 group. According to Labor Department
report, US jobless claims fell slightly
this month, with the number of layoffs
in the U.S. close to a 50-year low.
Initial
weekly jobless claims dropped 1,000 to
222,000 for the week ended June 2.
The
number of Americans filing for unemployment
benefits unexpectedly declined indicating
tighter labor conditions.
The
unemployment rate remains at a 18-year
low of 3.8 percent. The discussion swerves
to the new technological revolution in
AI / robots.
The
sea change could displace more jobs than
can be replaced over the coming years,
leading to a global unemployment epidemic
without viable solutions.
Bill
Murphy of GATA.org
notes the risk / reward scenario for precious
metals investors may have never been this favorable.
The
massive JP Morgan silver short position and
it's potential to cause an epic short-squeeze,
sending the price of silver skyward.
The dialogue includes two favorite Alpha Stock
Newsletter gold stock candidates, Agnico Eagle
(AEM)
and Pan American Silver (PAAS).
Today,
the FOMC raised the overnight lending rate by
a quarter point to 2% for the fist time in a
decade.
Policymakers
noted expectations for the already tame unemployment
rate of 3.8%, the lowest in 17 years, to
drop further to 3.6%.
The
yield curve is vulnerable to inversion after
the Dec. FOMC quarter point rate hike, leading
to an economic slowdown as soon as the summer
of 2019.
The trade war between Washington and our neighbors
Canada / Mexico as well as major trade partners,
Europe / China remains a wildcard that has the
smart money accumulating safe haven investments
ahead of potential economic sanctions related
blowback.
