## Resource

In this episode of The Secret War on Cash, Dean Heskin and Chris Agelastos examine the growing strain on global supply chains and why the economic fallout from conflict may be much deeper and longer-lasting than many consumers expect. The discussion covers delayed oil disruption, rising fuel costs, supply lag, and the way inflation can spread from energy into transportation, food, fertilizer, packaging, and other everyday goods. The episode also explores why recent volatility in gold and silver does not necessarily change the long-term bullish case for precious metals. As the hosts explain, rising energy pressure can feed inflation, interest-rate stress, debt strain, and continued erosion in the dollar’s purchasing power, making hard assets an important part of the broader conversation. Key topics include: global supply-chain lag and delayed disruption why current fuel pressure may be only the beginning how inflation spreads into multiple sectors of the economy the connection between energy stress, debt, and currency debasement why gold and silver remain important during financial instability what long-term dollar purchasing-power loss means for households Brought to you by Swiss America.
