[Trend Trader Daily] [Charts] Housing Bubbles and Inflation Hope Friday, June 3, 2022 When Fridays roll around in the Trend Trader Daily Nation, we roll out the charts. All it takes is a quick glance — and you’ll be up to speed and poised to profit from the market’s most important trends. This week, I’m dishing on another return to pre-pandemic levels. This time in the housing market. Then, it’s an important update to the most important factor driving equity markets, consumer sentiment, and, well, just about everything else. Don’t worry, though. For once, the latest data is encouraging. So without further ado… > ADVERTISEMENT < Do NOT Buy Gold Until You Try This Man who predicted the collapse of 18 different stocks over the past year is sounding the alarm on gold. "Don't just buy gold mining stocks or bullion outright," he says. There's a clever new way to see which gold stocks could realistically double your money, BEFORE you ever invest a penny.

Case in point: The median home price in the nation increased nearly 20% since 2020. In regional markets, the individual price increases have been eye-popping. (I’m sure we all have a few personal examples.) Of course, these rapid price increases all started in earnest when the pandemic hit and the great migration commenced out of urban centers.

But changes in expectations often precede a change in reality. So while inflation might not have peaked yet, the peak in inflation expectations suggests we’re getting close. Another anecdotal sign that inflation likely peaked? CNBC recently hosted an hour-long special of Worldwide Exchange focusing exclusively on inflation. For whatever reason, by the time networks get around to setting aside special time to address market-moving issues, it typically signals a turning point. Here’s to that market reality proving true once again!   FOR TREND TRADER PRO READERS ONLY > [LEARN MORE]( < Ahead of the tape, Lou Basenese Founder & Chief Investment Strategist   Copyright © Trend Trader Daily, All rights reserved.
