Description
Stijn Schmitz welcomes back Florian Grummes to the show. Florian is the Founder and Managing Director of Midas Touch Consulting. The discussion opens with concerns about equity markets at all-time highs, rising Treasury yields, and Middle East energy disruptions. Grummes argues the financial system is walking on a tightrope, but central banks will continue printing money to sustain the “paper Ponzi scheme,” delaying any systemic break. He sees the US midterm elections as a near-term uncertainty, expecting markets to struggle until then, followed by a possible year-end rally. On energy, he believes oil prices are being managed and warns that a proposed US diesel export ban could severely stress Europe, potentially leading to supply chain issues and food shortages, advising listeners to prepare by stocking essentials.
