- According to the National Bureau of Economic Research, we are officially in a recession, likely headed for a depression.
- The national debt has skyrocketed to $26 trillion! That equates to $384 billion in interest payments alone each year.
- The US GDP is set to decline by 5.9% which is twice the decline we saw in 2009 after the onset of the financial crisis.
- The US debt:GDP ratio has increased from 57% in 2000 to 130% now. That is up from 113% three months ago.
- The US Dollar Index has decreased from a 17 year high three months ago at 102 to 96 now, a trend that is expected to continue as faith in the currency fades.
- Congress has completely ignored any debt ceiling or spending limits with more money printing to come, borrowing $3 trillion in three months.
- Central banks have printed more than $10 trillion in response to the pandemic.
- The stock market ‘recovery’ after its 34% decline has been driven solely by the stimulus from central banks and sovereign governments. It has provided a false sense of security.
- The current deflation will turn to inflation, causing a likely inflationary depression.
GDP has already slipped below the last recession’s level and is set to decrease to historic lows before even a partial recovery
Will we see a global economic crisis?
The World Trade Organization has projected that global trade volumes are set to decline as much as 32% in 2020.
That may not seem like much but even a 1 – 2 % imbalance in the economy can lead to massive changes in our day to day life. These changes aren’t solved quickly either, it will take a long time before the world is back on track, or at least back to a more normal state.
The post-COVID-19 world will look much different in the coming months and years than it did prior to the pandemic. The resulting economic shutdown has changed the rules, changed the realities, and changed the projections for the US and global economies. That being said, it is imperative to respond with prudence and pragmatism.
Why Gold Can Balance Your Portfolio?
Gold preserves purchasing power over time, regardless of inflation or deflation. Gold is steadier in times of deflation which is why it is up over 13% so far in 2020. Gold outperforms bonds in recessions and depressions, bringing critically important balance to a portfolio.
Gold and silver perform well in times of economic uncertainty and geopolitical tension. Just look at these three charts for a recent example from 2008-2011 following the financial crisis:

With historic highs in the gold: silver ratio, the global economy set for a contraction, gold prices nearing all-time highs, and similar movements to the last financial crisis, NOW is the time to take action.
