Gold as an Inflation Hedge? The Proof Is in the Pudding
Published 1 year, 10 months ago
Description
During this inflationary cycle, gold tended to sell off with any hot inflation news. Conversely, mainstream and institutional investors tended to buy when inflation appeared to be cooling. Does this prove gold really isn't an inflation hedge? In this episode of the Money Metals' Midweek Memo, host Mike Maharrey probes this question. He concludes the proof is in the pudding.
In this episode, Mike also gives an overview of last week's Federal Reserve meeting and the central bank's miserable track record on projecting the trajectory of monetary policy.
