Inflation and Monetary Policy - Peter Schiff and Tucker Carlson Were Right on Inflation

Peter Schiff and Tucker Carlson Were Right on Inflation

 
In the spring of 2021, as the Fed insisted that inflation was transitory, Peter Schiff was warning that inflation was here to stay and that it would get much worse (FOX NEWS interview).

Going forward to November 2021, Powell admits that the Fed was wrong in thinking inflation was transitory, but claims everyone else made the same mistake.
 
The Fed now claims it can fight inflation without creating a recession. It is overestimating the strength of the economy now just as it underestimated the strength of the inflation then.

Partial Transcription:

"When the government spends money...what happens is the Federal Reserve prints the money and the government spends it into circulation, but when that happens, the value of all the money that is out there goes down, and the price of everything goes up."

"It feels as it's intentional... Is this the way they are going to pay down the debt, by...devaluing the dollar? "

"Certainly, as you have inflation, you reduce the real value of the debt, but the government has no plan to pay off the debt."
 
"The real problem is the amount of money they are going to have to spend just to finance all their current commitments."
 
"This is a massive amount of money printing. It is unprecedented inflation because it is the money supply that is being inflated, and as a result everything costs more."
 
"We are not producing more, it's the opposite...yet we are creating more money to buy the products and services that fewer people are producing." 

"More money, fewer goods - prices are just going to keep going up and it's not going to stop."

"In 10 seconds, is this as crazy as it looks?..."

"The Fed pretends that it's transitory..."

"...If the Fed actually raises rates to fight inflation, they will create a much bigger financial crisis than in 2008 and the US government will be forced into insolvency..."

Week in Review: 4-8 November 2024 - Trump Wins!!!

Financial Markets For the week, the main stock market indices were UP, with the S&P500 gaining 4.7% and the NASDAQ 100 5.4% in the green. The small cap index (Russel 2000) got pumped by 8.7%. Precious metals are retracing a bit these days. Gold and silver fell 1.9% and 3.5%, respectively. Recently, silver broke below 32$ and is now probably going towards the 30$ level. WTI is around the 70$ level, which is short-term support. Oil will likely trade sideways in the near future (68-72$). Bitcoin spiked 17% this week, breaking above the 74k level. It can re-test this level again before continuing to the upside (or breaking back below!). The relative strength of the US dollar (DXY) was up by 0.6%. The EUR/USD is around 1.07$, the GBP/USD is at 1.29$, and the USD/JPY is at 152.6 JPY. US M2 money supply at the date of 30th September 2024 was up by 0.38%.

Week in Review: 25-29 November 2024

Financial Markets For the week, the main stock market indices were up, with the S&P500 gaining 1.1% and the NASDAQ 100 0.7% in the green. The small cap index (Russel 2000) gained 1.1%. Precious metals are on the lower range of the current trading channel. Gold and silver fell 2.4% and 2.3%, respectively. The metals need to defend the current levels, otherwise we must turn bearish. WTI fell 4.2% and is holding the 68$ level. Oil will likely trade sideways in the near future (67-72$). Bitcoin is around 97000$ and seems like it will have some trouble going above 100k... The relative strength of the US dollar (DXY) hit resistance and fell to ~106. The EUR/USD is around 1.05$, the GBP/USD is at 1.27$, and the USD/JPY is at 149.7 JPY. US M2 money supply at the date of 28th October 2024 was up by 0.42%.

Trading volumes were average during the week but declined on Friday. Precious metals remain strong. Gold continues making new all-time-highs - now at 3084$/oz. Silver gained 3.3% and is going to re-test the 34-35$ level again. WTI is still close to support and went up by 1.1% to ~69$/bbl. If it continues falling, the next support levels are at 64 and 62$. Bitcoin fell 4.3%, contradicting the previous week's move. It is essentially trading sideways, like the equity market. The key resistance and support levels on Bitcoin, for the short term, are 92k$ and 72-74k$, respectively. The relative strength of the US dollar (DXY) was essentially unchanged and is still at 104.
