“The consumer is faltering, and yet Fed Chair Powell told Wall Street at his latest press conference that he is indeed pivoting…but it is to be more hawkish. There is a steep recession just ahead, and there is nothing the Fed can do to stop it. It is not a choice. If Powell were to undergo a genuine dovish pivot back towards ZIRP and QE at this point, it would cause inflation to run intractable.”
USAGOLD note: Pento believes a depression is “a real possibility, and that an equity collapse is still in the cards.”
