The Stock Market Recovery Is a Mirage — Here’s What’s Really Happening 

Brandon Sauerwein, Editor

Are We Already in a Recession?

Markets are rising. Headlines are optimistic. But if something feels off… you’re not alone.

Beneath the surface of this so-called “recovery,” the data tells a very different story: 

• Consumer debt just hit a record $18 trillion
• Credit card delinquencies have returned to Great Recession levels
• Subprime car loan defaults are the highest in 30 years
• Meanwhile, commercial real estate delinquencies are near a four-year high. 

According to Mike Maloney, we’re not heading into a recession — we’re already in one. And what’s coming next could make 2008 look like a warm-up…

Don’t Be Fooled by the Rally — A Recession May Already Be Here

Stocks are up. The headlines sound hopeful. But Mike Maloney says this is exactly what the start of a crash looks like.

In his newest video, Mike reveals why the economy may already be in a stealth recession — and why the worst may be ahead. From rising housing inventories and falling home prices to record debt and market signals flashing red, the data tells a different story than the news.

If you’re wondering whether it’s time to act, this is a must-watch. 

Wondering If You Missed Your Shot at Gold?

We get it — gold’s been on a tear lately, and it’s natural to wonder: Is it too late to buy?

Mike Maloney says no — and he’s got the data to prove it.

In his latest video, Mike explains why this rally isn’t driven by hype… but by something much bigger. He unpacks what’s really pushing gold higher (hint: it’s not the public) and why today’s prices might look like a bargain in hindsight.

Inside the video: 

• Why gold’s rise isn’t over — it’s just getting started
• The big-money buyers you haven’t heard about
• How to invest wisely without chasing the market 

If you’re still on the fence, watch this before making your next move. 

What Else is in the News?

🧳 U.S. & China Resume High-Level Trade Talks
For the first time since the U.S.–China trade war escalated, top officials will meet this weekend in Switzerland. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Trade Representative Jamieson Greer are set to meet with Chinese counterparts as tariffs between the two nations reach staggering levels — 145% from the U.S. and 125% from China. Bessent called the current trajectory “unsustainable” and emphasized the goal of fair trade, not decoupling.

💱 Asian Currencies Surge as Dollar Demand Drops
A sharp decline in U.S. dollar demand is fueling a surge in Asian currencies, led by a record rally in the Taiwan dollar. Analysts are calling it an “Asian crisis in reverse,” as nations shift away from recycling trade surpluses into U.S. assets — a long-standing support for dollar dominance. Heavy trading volumes have stressed markets, as Trump’s tariffs continue to disrupt global flows and investor confidence in U.S. policy wanes.

🏦 India Doubles Gold Reserves as Share of Forex
India’s gold reserves now account for 11.7% of its total foreign exchange holdings — up from just 5.9% in 2021 — reflecting a broader trend among central banks. The Reserve Bank of India holds nearly 880 metric tons of gold, with 58% stored domestically. The shift comes amid rising global debt and volatile capital flows, signaling growing concern over fiat stability.

⚖️ Louisiana Bill Would Make Gold and Silver Legal Tender
A new bill in Louisiana proposes recognizing gold and silver as official currency. House Bill 386, introduced by Rep. Raymond Crews, outlines how precious metals would be used and stored — remaining the property of the depositor and immune from state investment. The legislation is designed to be budget-neutral and would make Louisiana the latest state to explore sound money reform.

📉 Trump Pressures Fed to Cut Rates — But Will It?
President Trump is calling on the Federal Reserve to lower interest rates, criticizing the central bank for being “TOO LATE AND WRONG.” But with inflation still elevated, analysts expect the Fed to hold steady at its current 4.25%–4.5% range. The next decision comes later today, and CME FedWatch shows a 97% chance interest rates will remain unchanged.
