Recent Lear Capital commentary discusses how inflation may erode fixed returns and how market corrections could present opportunities for portfolio rebalancing
LOS ANGELES, CA / ACCESS Newswire / November 6, 2025 / Lear Capital, a trusted name in precious metals education and investing since 1997, has published new educational content examining how inflation continues to affect traditional savings vehicles and what recent precious metals market movements may signal for long-term investors.
In a recent blog post titled “Are Certificates of Deposit (CDs) Quietly Costing You Money?”, Lear Capital explores how inflation can quietly erode the purchasing power of fixed-income savings instruments. The analysis frames inflation as a “hidden tax” that may outpace the nominal returns offered by many CDs and traditional savings accounts, potentially leaving savers with less real value over time despite positive account balances.
“Many Americans believe their savings are growing when they see positive returns on CDs or savings accounts,” said Kevin DeMeritt, founder of Lear Capital. “However, when inflation runs higher than those returns, purchasing power actually declines. Our goal is to help investors understand these dynamics so they can make more informed decisions about their financial futures.”
The commentary arrives as U.S. savers navigate persistent inflation pressures while seeking safe havens for retirement savings and emergency funds. Lear Capital’s educational content encourages readers to calculate real returns by accounting for inflation rates, helping them better understand how their savings may perform in different economic environments.
In complementary analysis, Lear Capital also recently published “Christmas in October: The Market Just Handed Investors a Big Fat Present – The Opportunity to Buy the Dip,” which examines the recent pullback in gold and silver prices following record highs earlier this year. The piece provides historical context showing how temporary corrections in precious metals markets have often preceded significant rallies, reinforcing the importance of understanding long-term market patterns rather than reacting to short-term volatility.
“Market corrections are a natural part of any investment cycle,” DeMeritt added. “Our focus remains on education – helping investors understand historical trends, economic fundamentals, and how different asset classes respond to varying market conditions.”
Lear Capital’s latest commentary offers insight for U.S. savers facing persistent inflation and market uncertainty, providing educational resources designed to help investors evaluate their portfolio strategies and understand the relationship between inflation, fixed returns, and alternative asset classes.
