Part 4/9:
There's speculation that the current administration is willing to induce a market crash intentionally. With national debt exceeding $36 trillion, the government faces immense pressure regarding interest payments, which are now higher than defense spending for the first time in history. As interest rates rise, refinancing looming debts becomes more complicated. Drawing on investment wisdom, some argue that creating a market downturn could lower interest rates and give the government a window to refinance its debt at more favorable rates.
Though this remains speculative, it's critical for investors to be aware that market movements are impacted by broader economic considerations beyond just stocks.
