The U.S. dollar is unlikely to make significant moves higher in the near term because of the ballooning budget deficit, Jeffrey Gundlach, the billionaire chief executive of DoubleLine Capital, said on a webcast presentation on Tuesday.

Gundlach noted the inverse correlation between the dollar and the twin deficit - the U.S. deficit plus the trade deficit - which has increased dramatically because of the government’s stimulus efforts to combat the effects of the coronavirus shutdown.

“We know with metaphysical certitude that the twin deficit is going to go way higher, I’d say to at least 12% of GDP. That would suggest the dollar going all the way back to 2011 levels,” Gundlach said. He believes the rising twin deficit will drive the dollar lower, despite the currency’s appeal as a safe-haven investment and the likelihood that such assets will be in demand if U.S. stocks fall from their current levels.

Oil rally and Saudi price spikes could hurt refiners, stifling market recoveryGoldman Sachs cited 'very poor refining margins and the recent sharp decline in U.S. crude bases' as supporting its 'bearish outlook.' It's because price fixing doesn't work, falsely raising oil prices on weak demand by cutting production then refining it to fuel on weak demand only cuts profit margins. I guess we could pass on the prices fixing to gas prices at the pump, which will also add to inflation. saudis take price low , they want $100 . what is the news? The whole thing is a corrupt racket.
