Lyn Alden: The Economy Is Crashing Into Stagflation
Wealthion, Released on 6/9/22
2022 has been a headache year for investors so far. Most financial assets remain down double digits percentage-wise vs the start of the year. There are growing signs that the red-hot housing market is fast-cooling, too. And it's hard to make the case that prices will pick back up again soon, given that the Federal Reserve remains fully-focused on "destroying demand" in order to bring today's hot inflation under control. Will the pain in the markets get even worse from here? Are we hurtling towards a stagflationary recession? For an informed perspective, we're fortunate to be joined by macro analyst Lyn Alden, who believes we're now in an "economic deceleration" miring us in stagflation. She has just returned from speaking at an international conference in Norway and is speaking to us despite having just come down with COVID.
