Is artificial intelligence propping up an economy that's weaker than it looks? And could the Federal Reserve's fight against inflation trigger the next recession?
Andrew Sarna, Portfolio Manager at Forthlane Partners, joins Maggie Lake on Wealthion to explain why rising Treasury yields, persistent inflation, and an economy increasingly dependent on AI spending could create dangerous conditions for investors.
Sarna warns that the old rules of investing may no longer apply. With government debt mounting, bond markets under pressure, and traditional asset correlations breaking down, investors may need to rethink how they protect and grow their wealth.
