| So far 2022 has given investors a never-ending buffet of risks: markets are volatile, war in Ukraine rages on, and inflation continues to send the prices of everything soaring higher. But there is a silver (and gold) lining to it all… Periods of high inflation can be an opportunity for gold and silver investors. | | And inflation doesn’t look to be letting up anytime soon. Federal Reserve Chairman, Jerome Powell, admitted this trend is likely to continue, “we’re going to see upward pressure on inflation, at least for a while…” The current rate of inflation is 7.9%, the highest in four decades. “People are getting worried about inflation continuing to rise,” reports Forbes.
