Currencies (incl. Bitcoin) vs. USD

Global currencies and Bitcoin vs. USD Reference a previous post on ‘commodity currencies‘ From NFTRH 705‘s Currencies segment… Everybody in this sad picture is as they were last week. The reserve currency is sucking up all that liquidity fleeing the risk ‘on’, inflated cyclical asset world and the other ‘non-reserve’ currencies are being exposed as the fundamentally valueless instruments they are. Of course USD is … Continue reading Currencies (incl. Bitcoin) vs. USD

Bonds, Inflation & Deflation

Does this look like inflation?

I didn’t think so; not this week. Well of course they have not even taken the SMA 50 yet, but isn’t it funny how during yet another inflationary ‘lagging data’ hype week we have Treasury bonds – among the worst casualties of the inflation created in 2020 – rising? The thing is, it was lonely when we were forecasting inflation in mid-2020 and it is … Continue reading Does this look like inflation?

Gold

FYI, Rick Ackerman commenting here on gold (and Apple)

Just a heads up that a guy I’ve known of and respected for many years has been commenting on this post from Monday about the negative divergences to inflation: Not inflation friendly I note it because if one of the typical gold bug knuckleheads had shown up here I’d be disappointed. But a guy who goes his own way and calls it as he sees … Continue reading FYI, Rick Ackerman commenting here on gold (and Apple)
