The stock market is very predictable in its Fed obsession A frustration of dyed in the wool gold bugs is that a debt soaked system moves forward on little more than the confidence that all will remain as it has been. This confidence focuses on the Federal Reserve and it"s ability to inflate the system when needed.
The Fed had already been indicated to be late getting off its"transitory" inflation stance, but when the short end of the bond market really began to rebel the Fed did the predictable and altered course in a much more loudly hawkish direction. In tow with that came the mainstream financial media, the algos, black boxes and HFTs.
But to a gold bug, or at least the kind of gold bug I am, the whole thing is illegitimate and a patience play in the run up to the end of the system of"Inflation onDemand" as I"ve been calling it for the better part of 2 decades. And that is the point; it"s 2 decades and counting since my personal alarms went off and nearly that long since I started to realize that illegitimate may be terminal, but terminal has no clearly defined end point.
Looks like a recession 👀
