Interest Rates
What is less “Interesting” … but More “Important”… than Interest Rates ?
Especially Interest Rates in the USA.
Nothing…That’s What

THIS Chartology alone is worth the price of admission ( and then some).
Suggesting that rates will sky rocket and crush the economy
Doesn’t sound lovely but I wonder how gold will shine
I think it depends how far behind the curve the fed would be. If inflation above rates, no matter how high they are, then real rates are negative.. and gold is better investment than holding currency.
If we have nose bleed interest rates the world will implode – wonder how this is gonna look lol
Peter Schiff is suggesting the fed will soon buy long term bonds.. to keep them under wraps.
I do not think rates will rise – IMHO I think they will buy whatever they need to keep them
Low – no one really knows but I do think that it’s not in anyone’s interest to let them rise –
Imagine the amount of social unrest that we will have – riots , protests , crime to unimaginable levels – wars –
If rates rise and the economy implodes we will be needing more than gold silver and mining stocks
Actually He is just suggesting a bottom for now.
The we watch the charts for how far they rally.
“Actually he is just suggesting a bottom for now.” That would be correct.
“The we watch the charts for how far they rally.” A BRIEF relief rally is almost here. (deadcat for bond prices, as per my remarks on gold’s down channel being tagged the other day — “just a bounce not the bottom”) Then more yield upside after that (gold dump) into a yield peak and gold bottom (late Dec??). But then new lows for yields by spring (gold to 1600 as SPX dives).
THEN it gets interesting … final lows for yields over the summer as election approaches, and those in the know understand how 2020 will be ‘fixed’. And so in comes MMT. With ALL its unintended consequences. Including crashing the cheap money everything bubbles.
Just appending a story line to how I currently see the charts unfolding. YMMV.
Yes, how far can they rally? At 23 trillion in US bond debt 1% = 230 billion in interest payment, So how high can interest rates go before the yearly interest payment consumes the entire yearly spending budget for all of US government spending?
Food for thought. Mindboggling and insane.
Grand Williams: We will RESET. Great interview via ZH or Peak Posterity.
Just finished listening to this. Great listen.
How does a reset impact the housing market ? How does it Impact those with loans and the debt holders and lenders
I suppose it depends on the nature of the “reset”, which could include loopholes and exceptions; special requirements and stipulations.
In other words it might depend on who might tend to have the most influence as the reset takes place.
I’ve always like to imagine what a “rest” would look like… I guess it’s never gonna be exactly just that… but if we could get a wisdom of the crowd type analysis… I guess the change will be MAJOR, but will be wrapped and spinned into something MINOR. Example come to mind… 1-) 1913 Federal Reserve enactment 2-) 1971 Nixon “temporary” getting off gold standard… 3-) 1982 buybacks not illegal anymore… 4-) 1995 fractional reserve requirements obliterated … ALL MAJOR changes, whos impact are slowly consumed over DECADES, always under our threshold of noticibilty. I guess change will happen when that “threshold of noticibilty” is surpassed for the large part of the masses, and revolts/uprisings become more pronounced.
What about a modified version of the Chicago Plan?
I don’t think a reset will happen as grant Williams is expected – I personally see it as fear mongering and try not to get my head wrapped into it – zerohedge/ king world news / jsmineset all have the same agenda and play book –
Apologies if this sounds cynical
