These 2 Events Have Investors' Full Attention
Dear Subscriber,

Markets are in limbo because of two events.
The first was the 56th World Economic Forum Annual Meeting in Davos, Switzerland, that just wrapped up.
Norwegian Foreign Minister Espen Barth Eide summed it up best:
“We are in a much better place today than we were at the beginning of this week. But of course, the very fact that we are relieved that a NATO country is not going to attack another NATO country tells us that we are somewhere where we never thought we would be. And that, in itself, will linger.”
There’s still no clarity about what comes next about Greenland or even the threat of new tariffs.
Though, as Dawn Pennington noted earlier this week, that wasn’t the most important story out of Davos.
No, it wasn’t Macron’s sunglasses either … despite the Wall Street Journal’s recent take on it.
The real story is detailed here:
There’s also another headline that has investors forgetting about Greenland:
Our own robot expert, Michael A. Robinson, covers what’s going on in more detail here.
Still, the five-day Davos event is over. And investors are always looking ahead.
Their eyes are firmly fixed on the first Fed meeting of the new year, which is set for next week.
While the actual rate is assumed to stay where it is, that’s not been the problem at the past few meetings.
The larger impact of Fed meetings comes from Jerome Powell’s press conference after the official statement is released.
This is a study on market volatility on a Fed meeting day:
As you can see, the actual statement release at 2 p.m. Eastern is a big deal. But that takes only minutes to digest.
The market really reacts to the press conference at 2:30 p.m. Eastern.
And it continues to come to terms with what it heard the rest of the day.
So, while the big Davos conference is over, look for this uncertain market to remain that way through at least Jan. 28, when the Fed wraps up its own meeting.
Of course, your editors have the perfect recommendation for when the market is volatile and uncertain: gold.
On Monday, Nilus Mattive broke down why it’s not too late to shift some capital out of stocks and into gold.
Sean Brodrick followed up with why the government’s bad math makes now a GREAT time to add more gold to your portfolio.
He then gave you his brand-new price target for gold. And it is a LOT higher than what you’re seeing elsewhere.
Of course, there’s something else you need to know about gold before you dive headfirst into it.
Sean calls it “Gold’s Hidden 5x Paradox.”
He’s uncovered a way to help investors make 469x more … without buying an ounce of gold.
Have a great weekend!
