Reopening Inertia, Asian Dollar Style (Still Waiting On The Crash)

By |2020-09-17T20:03:37-04:00September 17th, 2020|Bonds, Currencies, Economy, Federal Reserve/Monetary Policy, Markets|

Why are there still outstanding dollar swap balances? It is the middle of September, for cryin’ out loud, and the Federal Reserve reports $52.3 billion remains on its books as of yesterday. Six months after Jay Powell conducted what he called a “flood”, with every financial media outlet reporting as fact this stream of digital dollars into every corner of [...]

Mid-September 2020 Hasn’t Disappointed At All

By |2020-09-16T19:26:13-04:00September 16th, 2020|Bonds, Currencies, Economy, Federal Reserve/Monetary Policy, Markets|

For the first time, it was encouraging to see and hear quite a lot of people talking about the September calendar quirk. That’s progress; a small but noticeable segment of the financial public setting aside the mythical dogma of bank reserves and asking the right questions. However, I fear that having been “disappointed” by this year’s version of it, how [...]

Confident consumers are risk takers. Not only do they spend freely, they freely borrow in order to spend. Jay Powell has done his absolute best (I know) to convince Americans they have nothing to fear insofar as any economic fallout from COVID might be concerned. The Federal Reserve working in combination with the federal government has got every conceivable angle [...]

Bottleneck In Japanese

By |2020-09-08T19:36:49-04:00September 8th, 2020|Bonds, Currencies, Economy, Federal Reserve/Monetary Policy, Markets|

Japan’s yen is backward, at least so far as its trading direction may be concerned. This is all the more confusing especially over the past few months when this rising yen has actually been aiding the dollar crash narrative while in reality moving the opposite way from how the dollar system would be behaving if it was really happening.

COT Black: Closing In On Mid-September, What About Oil?

According to the US Energy Information Administration (EIA), crude oil production fell below 10 mbpd during the final week of August 2020.
