Can Gold Save Bonds If The Fed Fails? Luke Gromen Details His Solution!

Podcast cover

Crowded Market Report

The United States faces an unsustainable fiscal trajectory characterized by a deteriorating Net International Investment Position and a "doom loop" where rising interest rates increase debt service costs, further pressuring the Treasury market.
