A Road Map... For a Road NEVER Travelled!
Episode 02
Economics and Geopolitics REGARDLESS of the Election Outcome
Ride along with the team at Strategic Media & Public Relations in this episode of Road Map!
This time around, Chris discusses the economic, geopolitical and related facts of life we will be dealing with from 2025 onward no matter who wins the upcoming U.S. election.
For example, ever-soaring new deficits, indebtedness, and the ongoing stagflation that all brings will remain our lot in life.
Indeed, as Chris kicks off this discussion, he points out that Fed Chairman Powell was newly selling his “Joliet Jay” schtick at the recent Kansas City Fed-hosted summer picnic, setting us up for anyone who was listening to the central bank deflecting more blame from itself on inflation specifically.
Higher-for-longer will remain the mantra on price inflation and borrowing costs both, notwithstanding the looming rate cuts coming from the Fed on the short end.
You’ll also hear Chris discuss the ongoing “Japanification” of China, perhaps THE biggest issue globally that will affect many areas. It’s going to muddy up trade, global investment markets, the nascent bull market for commodities, the near-term viability of all this BRICS stuff (that a key subject to come in our Road Map discussion part 3, coming later this month) and a LOT more.
