Stagflation Threat Rises: Gold's Time to Really Shine? | The Gold Spot

Weeks after the Federal Reserve’s aggressive interest rate cut, it remains a key point of interest among investors. This stark move didn’t represent a single action; it indicated a major shift in fiscal policy. This move from economic tightening to quantitative easing (QE) is expected to strain an economy that may not be as stable as initially believed.

A handful of positive economic indicators initially prompted the Federal Reserve to slash interest rates. However, a slew of negative signals is starting to raise questions about the timing of the rate cuts.

For example, higher-than-expected CPI and PPI data suggest inflation is still around. Troublesome job market data compound this as jobless claims increase. These indications of a weak economy, combined with the Fed’s potential for a volatile rate cut policy, echo the stagflation that ravaged the 1970s economy.

With inflationary pressures rising, now is the time for investors to be proactive. Gold prices have rallied in response to 2024’s economic uncertainty, and history suggests that gold performs its best in a stagflationary environment.

Watch this week’s The Gold Spot to hear Precious Metals Advisors Todd Graff and Damian White explore whether the rate cuts were premature and discuss concerning signs that stagflation may be ahead.
