"Inflation Hitting From Every Angle" by Daniele DiMartina 4-24-2021
Danielle DiMartino Booth: Inflation Hitting from Every Angle
Palisades Gold Radio: Apr 24, 2021
America is a very indebted country, including American households, corporations, and the national debt itself.
Servicing all this debt is only possible because the Fed has been able to keep bond yields near zero.
She outlines some of the inflation and trade problems last year combined with the massive amounts of stimulus. Stimulus programs and extended unemployment benefits have resulted in rising home prices, vehicle prices, and a considerable spike in revolving credit card debt.
A year ago, we had millions of hospitality jobs lost, and she believes there will be other adverse effects on wages. People are staying out of the workforce because of various unemployment benefits, resulting in unintended consequences for businesses.
Danielle discusses some of the systemic issues with the CPI. Certain hedonic adjustments may be valid, but they are under-reporting health and housing expenses. Solving debt with more debt is probably not the optimal strategy.
The Fed could have taken advantage of the pandemic to use QE; instead, they bailed out the bond markets. They should have used the crisis to purge inefficient and over-leveraged zombie corporations. Monetary policy widens the inequality in the system, and the Fed's tools are too broad.
These policies only exacerbate the problem by flooding wealth into the top percentile. Danielle outlines possible negative effects of central bank digital currencies and why the Fed is reluctant due to dollar risks.
Globally, there has been a slow move away from the dollar, but it still the leading trade currency. Janet Yellen, as Treasury head, is a problem because she is inadvertently helping Wall Street. Janet believes in trickle-down economics, and if he decides to deploy direct helicopter money, this could be very inflationary.
Further stimulus programs this year will result in political blowback. Lastly, Danielle is concerned with the Biden administration's lack of communication skills. Insider selling is through the roof over concerns about higher taxes. What happens if everyone tries to head for an exit.

OIL BREAKS $100: MIDDLE EAST ESCALATION PUSHES INFLATION, BOND YIELDS AND GLOBAL FINANCIAL RISK HIGHER
Brent crude has crossed $100 a barrel as the Middle East conflict intensifies, creating a new inflation shock that could keep interest rates, borrowing costs and global financial stress elevated.
OVERVIEW
Brent crude has moved above $100 a barrel as the widening Middle East conflict threatens oil production, shipping routes and energy supplies.
The oil shock is already feeding into higher inflation expectations and elevated bond yields, increasing pressure on central banks to keep monetary policy tighter for longer.
For the global financial system, the danger is the combination of higher energy costs, expensive debt and tighter financial conditions arriving at the same time.

Liberty and Finance: 9-8-2026
Andy Schectman joins Liberty & Finance with a stark warning that global investors are increasingly losing confidence in U.S.

YEN SURGE SHAKES THE $2.35 TRILLION CARRY TRADE: JAPAN’S CURRENCY REVERSAL COULD REPRICE GLOBAL CAPITAL FLOWS
Japan’s rapidly strengthening yen is forcing investors to reconsider one of the world’s largest funding trades, raising the possibility of broader shifts in global liquidity, asset prices and capital flows.
OVERVIEW
The yen has surged nearly 4% in about a week, reaching a seven-month high as markets increasingly expect the Bank of Japan to raise interest rates.
Cross-border yen borrowing — a proxy for the carry trade — reached a record 360 trillion yen, or approximately $2.35 trillion, in March, according to Jefferies analysis of Bank for International Settlements data.
A sustained yen rally could force investors to unwind leveraged positions and repatriate capital, potentially affecting currencies, bonds and other global assets.
The Dollar Just Crossed The Line It Crossed In 1973. There's No Turning Back Now
Unfolded Finance: 9-9-2026
On March 1st, 1973, the Deutsche Bundesbank absorbed $2.7 billion in the first hour of trading — more than it had received in any full day in the history of the Bretton Woods system.
Karl Klasen, President of the Bundesbank, authorized the trading desk to stop buying at eleven in the morning. Every major European exchange closed its currency markets for the day.
The fixed exchange rate system that had governed international finance for twenty-seven years ended not because anyone decided to end it, but because the rate of dollar inflow exceeded the system's capacity to absorb it.
