*These* Are The Real Huge Jobs Numbers, And They Will Make Your Blood Run Cold

By |2020-08-21T20:02:48-04:00August 21st, 2020|Currencies, Economy, Federal Reserve/Monetary Policy, Markets|

There is simply no way to spin these figures as anything good. Not just the usual ones were talk about here, but more so some new data that you probably haven’t seen before. Beginning with the regular, it doesn’t matter that the level of initial jobless claims has declined substantially over the past few weeks. The fact of the matter [...]

Getting Harder to Spell T-R-A-D-E Without An ‘L’

By |2020-08-21T17:25:45-04:00August 21st, 2020|Currencies, Economy, Federal Reserve/Monetary Policy, Markets|

The good news: the World Trade Organization (WTO) has crunched the numbers for 2020’s horrific second quarter and where global trade is concerned it may not have been as bad as first feared. Make no mistake, it was bad but not crashing down as far as the most pessimistic of the dreamed-up scenarios. Given where things stand now with only [...]

Not This Again: Time For Petroyuan Revisit

By |2020-08-20T19:54:15-04:00August 20th, 2020|Currencies, Economy, Federal Reserve/Monetary Policy, Markets|

Does anyone remember the petroyuan? It doesn’t appear so, though not because the thing disappeared rather due to the fact that it didn’t. It was a really big deal for a time, pretty much all of 2018. What it was supposed to have represented was the dollar’s death knell. Guaranteed, one hundred, no, one thousand percent dead. This was widely [...]

One of the advantages we enjoy here at Alhambra is the opportunity to interact with a lot of investors. We talk to hundreds of individual investors on a monthly basis, giving us a front-row seat to everyone’s fear and greed. Economic data tells us about the past, which isn’t particularly useful for investors focused on the future. Sentiment, though, is [...]

It’s Not As Obvious, But Stocks Are Tipped More Toward ‘Deflation’, Too

By |2020-08-19T17:31:57-04:00August 19th, 2020|Bonds, Currencies, Economy, Federal Reserve/Monetary Policy, Markets, Stocks|

You have to laugh at the absurdity of the puppet show theater. A few months ago when bond yields backed up a little bit, as they do from time to time, everyone from Bond Kings to Dollar Crash-ists to Economists to just about every writer at the Wall Street Journal and Bloomberg became fixated on yield caps (or yield curve [...]

By |2020-08-18T20:07:58-04:00August 18th, 2020|Bonds, Currencies, Economy, Federal Reserve/Monetary Policy, Markets, Stocks|

Before getting into the why of the dollar’s stubbornly high exchange value in the face of so much “money printing”, we need to first go back and undertake a decent enough review of the guts maybe even the central focus of the global (euro)dollar system. I’ve written before that the repo market is the lender of last resort, not central [...]

It Was Bad In The Other Sense, So Now What?

By |2020-08-17T18:28:33-04:00August 17th, 2020|Currencies, Economy, Federal Reserve/Monetary Policy, Markets|

According to the latest figures, Japan has tallied 56,074 total coronavirus cases since the outbreak began, leading to the death of an estimated 1,103 Japanese citizens. Out of a total population north of 125 million, it’s hugely incongruous. For now, however, it does present an obvious reason why the government there didn’t go to such deliberate lockdown extremes as so [...]
