Economist, market analyst, and President of Miles Franklin, Andy Schectman, returns to the Economic Review to discuss the misdirection taking place across the financial media. We examine the bond market and challenge the prevailing narrative that China’s reduced purchases of U.S. Treasuries are simply the result of internal economic distress. Schectman explains why there may be much more happening beneath the surface and what shifting behavior in the bond market could signal for the broader economy.We also take another look at the growing divide between Americans who own significant assets and those struggling with everyday expenses. While asset holders have largely remained insulated, the economic reality for much of the population increasingly resembles a recession as household pressures continue to mount. Lastly, we return to silver and discuss why Schectman believes its combination of monetary demand, industrial use, supply constraints, and changing global conditions could give the metal extraordinary upside in what he views as a unique moment in its history.Sign up for the Newsletter and see exclusives now located at https://WestallMedia.com or still at https://SarahWestall.substack.com
