Market Factors: The U.S. dollar is still a safe haven. Probably

There is a distinct theme for this edition of Market Forces and it’s the health of the U.S. government balance sheet and, by extension, the value of the U.S. dollar and gold. Concerns about U.S. debt are nothing new but pandemic-era fiscal spending is causing a relatively novel and rapid deterioration of government finances. For diversion, we have a list of the top 100 TV episodes of the century and as always we’ll look ahead to important economic data releases.

The third reason is a growing suspicion that inflation is set for a comeback as U.S. economic growth remains robust . The next one is this notice that really got me worrying: “US$9-trillion of government debt will mature in the next 12 months.” At first I thought this was global - but unfortunately no, this is U.S. alone.
