Global financial markets are on edge today as investors eagerly await further signals from the U.S. Federal Reserve regarding its monetary policy path. Persistent inflation, which has shown signs of stubbornness in recent economic data, continues to be the dominant narrative, fueling speculation about the timing and magnitude of potential interest rate adjustments.
Gold prices have reached a new all-time high, with the precious metal topping $3,570 per ounce in today’s trading. The record-breaking rally, which has seen gold gain more than 33% since the beginning of 2025, is being fueled by a perfect storm of global uncertainty, shifting central bank policies, and a flight to safety among investors.
In this week’s edition of Wealthion’s Weekly Market Recap, Andrew Brill highlights key insights from our expert guests:
The Federal Reserve’s 2% inflation target is long gone, says Economist E.J. Antoni, PhD. He joins Wealthion’s Andrew Brill and breaks down what this means for the economy, your investments, and your economic future:
Gordon Johnson, CEO & Founder of GLJ Research, joins James Connor to deliver a compelling analysis of why inflation is set to surge and how key economic indicators are flashing recessionary warnings. He delivers a sharp critique of Federal Reserve policies, highlights the growing disconnect between the stock market and the real economy, and explains why he’s now even more bearish about Tesla.

In this inspiring Speak Up conversation, Anthony Pompliano shares key lessons from his new book: How To Live An Extraordinary Life. He and Anthony Scaramucci dive into how to take control of your life with agency, optimism, and a winning approach to Bitcoin and crypto. The multifaceted Pomp, an entrepreneur, CEO, and founder of Professional Capital Management, explains how mindset is essential in building wealth, breaking negative cycles, and embracing new opportunities. In addition, they discuss how Bitcoin plays a key role in long-term financial security and why it’s central to a resilient future.
Andrew Brill welcomes renowned economist Daniel Lacalle, PhD, to discuss the unsustainable trajectory of the U.S. and major global economies, which are already experiencing a private-sector “hidden recession.” Lacalle, Chief Economist at Tressis, unpacks how massive government spending and loose central bank policies are inflating short-term GDP growth while creating long-term risks, including persistent inflation, unmanageable public debt, and debasement and potential loss of confidence in the U.S. dollar, as reflected in the S&P 500 and the price of gold. He highlights the growing disparity between strong headline figures and the struggles faced by everyday citizens, as inflation disproportionately affects the lower and middle class and small businesses. Lacalle advocates for pro-growth private sector policies and warns that only by curbing debt and inflation can a sustainable economic future be secured.
Crescat Capital Macro Strategist Tavi Costa explains how rising U.S. interest payments and unchecked fiscal spending have trapped the Federal Reserve, forcing last week’s aggressive rate cut that could reignite inflation and weaken the U.S. dollar. As recession risks grow and equity markets hit peak valuations, he joins James Connor to unpack why commodities like oil and gold are poised to thrive, offering critical insights into the economic challenges and opportunities ahead.
