The financial implications of the Federal Reserve’s monetary policy are drawing significant attention, particularly regarding its potential to trigger a new crisis. Brien Lundin, Editor of Gold Newsletter and CEO of the New Orleans Investment Conference, raises concerns about the Fed’s management strategies.
“The Fed’s management of the price of money is going to create the next crisis, and when that happens, they are going to be forced to get back to zero interest rates,” he said.
Lundin emphasizes that recent cuts in interest rates—25 basis points last week following a 50-basis-point reduction in September—are merely indicative of a more extensive rate-cutting cycle. This trend is largely driven by the unsustainable costs associated with servicing national debt.
“Successive rate cuts are baked into the cake because of the tremendous cost of servicing the federal debt at these interest rate levels,” Lundin continued.
He further elaborates on impending challenges for corporations as they navigate their debt obligations amidst rising interest rates.
“The debt rate tsunami on a corporate level – we’re going to see a lot of debt resets coming up in the months just ahead.”
According to Lundin, companies already struggled with their debts during periods characterized by zero-interest rates; thus, maintaining solvency will become exceedingly difficult under current circumstances.
“Companies had trouble paying and servicing those debts in a zero-interest rate environment. They will find it nearly impossible to service those debts at current interest rates. The Fed really has to get rates down. The longer it waits, the more urgently it will have to do so at some point.”
Moreover, he suggests that negative interest rates may soon be necessary for addressing future economic challenges.
“My longer-term picture view is that we have to have negative real rates with debt loads this high. The cost of servicing that debt needs to be lower than the rate that currency is depreciating. Otherwise, the entire house of cards collapses.”
Jonathan Rose, CEO of Genesis Gold Group, added to the points by highlighting the election of Donald Trump.
“The Fed’s moves combined with President Trump’s fixes in the overall economy will be hugely beneficial for those holding precious metals,” he said. “I know some are projecting much higher numbers but we conservatively see $3,000 and then $4,000 ounces for gold on the horizon.”
In light of these forecasts and analysis regarding monetary policy adjustments and corporate indebtedness trends, Lundin anticipates gold prices soaring between $6,000-$8,000 within this bull market cycle based on historical trading patterns observed over time.
Additionally noted was gold’s recent divergence from its historically inverse relationship with both dollar value and bond yields—a development worth observing as market dynamics evolve amidst changing fiscal policies.

Stop posting that crap about Gold going up to astronomical numbers. The numbers you have shown cannot be reached without a financial collapse, or they put us on a Gold Standard to back our currency.
I know that you support Genesis Gold Group, but don’t let them feed you false points of view just to gain viewership. In this day and age it is called pandering and IT IS pathetic.
Gold, is the way to hold your wealth in times of out of control inflation..
So $8000 and ounce gold, mean MASSIVE inflation for the costs of potatoes and EVERYTHING else.
$20 gold, good… $8000 gold,, terrible.
If gold actually goes to 8,000 dollars an ounce the entire US economy will come crashing down. The typical American will lost 280% of their wealth overnight.
Didn’t like my comment the first time eh? Stop this hyper ventilated explanation of us losing 280% The only way gold can increase that high is if nations value all their currency held by both their own banks and/or internationally. Then all nations must come to an agreement of what the value of Gold should be set, as it needs to cover all the currencies whose countries pay off trade with Gold, which is what the BRICS are trying to come up with. When they do America will have no chance but to follow suit.
I actually thought I’d read a non-bias gold report not a ploy to over sell gold.
