While the debt ceiling is almost certainly going to be raised, there will be fiscal tightening, says portfolio manager Michael Pento. This fiscal tightening will occur when the Fed has already tightened monetary policy. He says the both monetary and fiscal tightening will have catastrophic effects for the economy. Already, we are seeing banks collapse. The banking crisis is far from over, he says. He is planning on adding to his position in physical gold, but he has sold his mining stocks recently.
