David Morgan discusses the Federal Reserve’s quarter-point rate hike and the continuing challenge of fighting inflation while higher rates increase borrowing costs for households, businesses, and the federal government.
Gold remained strong near $4,380 an ounce, while silver traded around $66. Morgan cautions against reacting to short-term price moves and says the larger focus should remain on debt, geopolitical risk, inflation, and long-term purchasing power.
Oil also remains important, with West Texas Intermediate near $100 a barrel. Continued supply disruptions could add more pressure to fuel prices and inflation, making energy markets another key area to watch.
Morgan’s overall message is to look beyond political slogans and short-term volatility. Focus instead on monetary policy, debt, energy costs, and preserving wealth over time.
