Stock Market Hits New Highs While Consumers Fall Behind: Adam Taggart on the US Economic Split

Adam Taggart, host of Thoughtful Money, analyzes the economic challenges posed by U.S. debt surpassing $36 trillion and a debt-to-GDP ratio of 120%. In this conversation with Kitco News, Taggart explores the widening gap between Wall Street and Main Street, inflation’s erosion of purchasing power, and navigating overvalued markets fueled by narratives.

He also examines the Federal Reserve’s rate-cut strategy, Trump’s pro-growth policies, and steps needed for economic recovery. Taggart discusses the rise of gold and Bitcoin, the debate over fiat currency and sound money, and the potential impact of central bank digital currencies. A must-watch for investors navigating today’s uncertain economy.
