US To Fall Into Debt Crisis – Michael Gayed

Apart from the US Federal Reserve, Luis de Guindos, the European Central Bank, and Christine Lagarde would likely increase Europe’s benchmark lending rate this week. This is due to the high rate of inflation in Europe amid the high gas prices.

Meanwhile, Michael Gayed, a portfolio manager and publisher at Lead-Lag Report, believes the United States could fall into a debt crisis. While speaking with Kitco News, the analyst commented on the ongoing economic crisis.

Gayed said the higher the Treasury yields, the more difficult it would be for nations to abide by debt obligations. Furthermore, Gayed stated that Wall Street had recorded several losses in 2022. The last time the financial market witnessed such declines was in 2008.

According to Gayed, the increasing Treasury yields and high inflation could lead to a catastrophic event in the market. In the end, the country can either expect hyperinflation or a sovereign default crisis.

Additionally, Gayed said the impending financial crisis he had foreseen would bring about an authoritarian style of government.
