U.S. tax break claims exceed forecast

Axel Merk highlights a surge in overtime work being reported on U.S. tax returns. According to Merk, a specific tax break is on course to be claimed by about twice as many people as initially projected when it was established last year. The comment underscores how incentives can change taxpayer behavior.

Earlier this year, Merk discussed how gold and mining investments have outperformed tech stocks in the current environment. He has also commented on how changes in world order and trade are raising global security risk premiums. Merk regularly focuses on shifts in macroeconomic behavior and their policy implications.
