The soft landing narrative is collapsing – but few are willing to admit it.
Danielle DiMartino Booth, CEO and Chief Strategist at QI Research, joins Jeremy Szafron of Kitco News to expose why the U.S. may already be in a private-sector recession. From rising layoffs and corporate bankruptcies to tightening credit and collapsing consumer demand, DiMartino Booth reveals the economic cracks the mainstream continues to ignore.
She also explains why the Federal Reserve may be misdiagnosing inflation, why Wall Street’s forecasts are dangerously late, and what gold’s breakout is signaling about investor confidence.
Key Topics:
– Are we already in a private-sector recession?
– What key data is the Fed getting wrong?
– Why are consumers cutting even essential spending?
– Will rising bankruptcies spread across sectors?
– What does gold’s surge say about market fear?
– Is the credit cycle nearing a breaking point?
Don’t miss Danielle DiMartino Booth’s urgent, data-driven analysis on what’s really happening beneath the headlines.
