Unemployment Will Drive Interest Rates L...

Victor Menasce
About this episode

On today’s show, we are looking at the state of the global economy and how I believe it will impact interest rates over the next 90 days. I’m going to do something that is risky and that is to predict the future. 

We keep hearing narratives in the mainstream media. The US economy is resilient and strong. However, I’m going to construct a case that I believe will demonstrate convincingly that the global economy is actually very weak, and that interest rates will in fact continue to fall over the next 90 days.

Of course, when I speak about interest rates, I’m not just talking about Central bank rates. I am talking about the interest rates that really matter which are those experienced by Real Estate Investors at the street  level.
