💡 Gold remains the ultimate hedge in a world of debt and monetary inflation. If you want a secure, convenient way to own physical gold and silver, visit Hard Assets Alliance: https://hardassetsalliance.com/?aff=WTH Global liquidity expert Michael Howell, Managing Director of GL Indexes (formerly CrossBorder Capital), joins Wealthion’s James Connor to explain how today’s debt-driven financial system now runs entirely on liquidity. He reveals why the global liquidity cycle that began in late 2022 is nearing its peak, and how the next downturn could trigger a major market shock that may also present a powerful buying opportunity in a world that can’t escape its addiction to debt. Howell uncovers the growing power shift from the Federal Reserve to the U.S. Treasury, where government spending, not central-bank policy, is driving money creation and fueling monetary inflation. He also shares why gold could surge to $10,000, how silver, Bitcoin, and other hard assets fit into this new era of endless money printing, and what investors can do now as the liquidity tide begins to turn. 💡 As Michael Howell explains, we’re nearing the peak of the liquidity cycle and entering a new era of monetary inflation.
