Has Inflation Cooled or Not?

This past week, I got to talk a lot about inflation, something many have thrown in the towel about. But not us!

In particular, I sat down with Charles Payne during his show Making Money with Charles Payne on Fox Business. He prepared a list of questions for me.

Charles: You say inflation has cooled but its only taking a break and not over — what reignites it?

According to the research I did for How to Grow Your Wealth in 2023, I developed a list of TEN potential sparkplugs.

China demand increasingThe U.S. dollar under siege, with BRICS the biggest threatGeopolitical risks, like an increase in coup d’étatsMassive government spending both here and abroadRecord debt ceiling with the potential to see a money printing resolutionAn oil shortage or crisisFood shortages and hoardingSocial Unrest leading to supply chain bottlenecksCentral Banks losing control of monetary policy-chaosRussia/Ukraine War worsening

First off, by nature, commodities are volatile. Furthermore, Super Cycles do not last 1-2 years — typically, they last 3-4 years. So, if 2021 was the start, then 2024 to even 2025 is when it could cycle away.

Statistically, inflation rates over 6% (we have had it at 9%, and all it has done is cool to over 6%) take at least 6 years to fix. That’s if we are really committed to fixing it. Seems the Fed is wishy-washy, and sovereigns everywhere are trying to spend their way out of a recession–also inflationary.

As far as actionable information, we think Gold doubles over time. The weekly chart shows a clean breakout above the moving averages. Our Real Motion indicator reveals even with the rally, momentum has not caught up. We would love a correction to add to the position. However, the circle on the chart shows you a gap that had not been filled going back to mid-April 2022. That gap has now been filled. We consider that a positive. Plus, the Triple Play Leadership indicator has GLD well outperforming the SPY

Gold is our main focus, but that also takes other commodities along for the ride–particularly miners.

Finally, looking at the rise in gas prices, we assume that that is inflationary in and of itself. Moreover, we also see higher oil prices as long as crude oil holds around $80 a barrel.

Charles: I like this line from your note: “But one thing we know – it’s more important to adapt to changing landscape then get stuck on a macro theme.” How does that apply to investing?

One must be flexible and open-minded, especially those of us who are active and not passive investors.

Best case scenario is that these headwinds abate and companies, plus consumers, adjust to higher rates topping at 5%. That could lead to the “soft landing” while the market finds footing and a decent trading range.

Worst case scenario is that volatility and inflation continue to move higher, The Fed has more fat to trim, yet are still unable to stop the price of gold and other hard assets from moving up.
