Own oil, gold and silver. And keep some dry powder.
Chris Kampitsis, managing partner at Barnum Financial Group, thinks investors need commodities exposure as a hedge right now, and names oil, gold and silver. He also wants a little dry powder, because six percent on the 10-year is where he thinks equities stop looking appetizing, and insurers are already publishing 5.9% on seven-year guaranteed contracts.
Ben Emons, chief investment officer at FedWatch Advisors, tells Kenny Polcari why the long end is climbing, and it is not the deficit: the Fed itself points to AI borrowing hedged with Treasuries. Plus what a blue sweep would do to gold, and whether Nvidia can beat and still fall.
