James Connor welcomes Michael Oliver, founder of Momentum Structural Analysis, to explain why his momentum models are flashing major warning signals that most investors are ignoring. Unlike traditional price charts, momentum signals structural weakness before price reacts — and right now, the NASDAQ, S&P 500, and other key markets are showing the same patterns seen before past bear markets.
As we wrap up the year and celebrate the festive season, we wanted to share some of our favorite moments from one of your favorite Wealthion interviews from 2024: Steve Hanke with James Connor. Enjoy!
Steve Hanke, Professor of Applied Economics at Johns Hopkins University, joins James Connor to reveal the economic and political fallout of the Fed’s monetary missteps. From post-COVID inflation and rising wealth inequality to the 2024 election, Hanke unpacks how these policies reshaped the U.S. economy and secured Trump’s victory. He predicts a 2025 recession driven by money supply contraction and explores geopolitical risks and tensions, including China’s growing dominance in critical global industries.
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.
Immediately after the Fed announced its 50 bps interest rate cut, Vincent Deluard, Director of Global Macro at StoneX, joined Maggie Lake for a live broadcast to discuss its impact on financial markets and the economy. If you missed Wealthion’s special broadcast, now is the time to catch up on Vincent’s expert insights and learn what this rate cut by the Fed means for investors.
