Episode notes
This episode examines the persistent challenge of inflation in the United States through 2025, noting that the Consumer Price Index (CPI) remains elevated above the Federal Reserve’s two percent target due to factors like tariffs and energy costs. It discusses how inflation erodes purchasing power, disproportionately affecting lower-income households and retirees, while simultaneously driving gold prices toward record highs as investors seek a historical store of value. The discussion offers a comprehensive analysis of inflation trends, the Federal Reserve’s policy responses, and the role of gold as a potential hedge against economic uncertainty.
