  1. Renminbi to Replace the Dollar as King of Currencies? Not Likely

    0

    There is a lot of spec­u­la­tion that the dol­lar is los­ing ground to the Chi­nese ren­minbi and that sooner or later the Fed will share the global stage with Chi­nese mon­e­tary author­i­ties. Chi­nese gov­ern­ment offi­cials and Jere­miad west­ern eco­nomic fore­cast­ers who claim that the ren­minbi will replace the dol­lar as the world’s pre­mier cur­rency cer­tainly […] [read full story]

  2. And Now For Some Really Bad Economic News…

    2

     The U.S. econ­omy has a long way to go before the eco­nomic recov­ery will be either sus­tain­able or robust.  Mon­e­tary indi­ca­tors don’t look good and are once again get­ting worse.  I am con­cerned that the finan­cial sys­tem hasn’t recov­ered enough for the Fed­eral Reserve to with­draw from its pro­gram of quan­ti­ta­tive eas­ing.   While most of the […] [read full story]

  3. The Hyper-Inflation Myth

    4

    Con­ven­tional wis­dom is that the Fed’s print­ing presses are run­ning over­time and the econ­omy is awash with liq­uid­ity.  Just yes­ter­day the National Asso­ci­a­tion for Busi­ness Eco­nom­ics reported that almost half the econ­o­mists they sur­veyed believed that Fed­eral Reserve Pol­icy is infla­tion­ary.  Too bad the NABE sur­veyed econ­o­mists and con­ven­tional wis­dom are wrong. Econ­o­mists, pun­dits and jour­nal­ists […] [read full story]

  4. The New Supersized Fed

    1

    Fed watch­ers need to stop pan­ick­ing when they look at the new super­sized Fed bal­ance sheet and mon­e­tary base. The Fed’s bal­ance sheet doesn’t nec­es­sar­ily mean run­away infla­tion is in our future or that the Fed is out of con­trol. The Fed got super­sized because Bernanke & Com­pany came to appre­ci­ate the U.S.‘s spe­cial role […] [read full story]

  5. What If The Fed’s Isn’t Printing Money Like A Drunken Sailor?

    1

    What if con­ven­tional wis­dom about the Fed is wrong and it isn’t print­ing money like a drunken sailor? Well…that would make most of the media cov­er­age of the bond mar­ket and the econ­omy wildly off the mark. As it turns out while media talk­ing heads were rant­ing about how the Fed was run­ning their print­ing presses […] [read full story]

  6. Don’t Worry About The Debt Tsunami

    1

    It looks like in the next few years newly issued Trea­sury and agency guar­an­teed res­i­den­tial mort­gage debt may cre­ate a debt tsunami that will swamp the econ­omy. For­tu­nately, looks can be deceiv­ing. While inter­est rates are likely to rise for both long matu­rity Trea­sury notes and bonds and agency guar­an­teed res­i­den­tial mort­gage debt, ris­ing rates […] [read full story]

  7. 7 Faint Signs That The Economy’s Bottom Is In Sight

    1

    There are opaque and early signs that the U.S. econ­omy has started the begin­ning of a bot­tom­ing process. Just like a div­ing sub­ma­rine needs to stop its down­ward motion and reach its low­est depth before it can resur­face, the econ­omy needs to go through the steps of slow­ing its decline and sta­bi­liz­ing before it can […] [read full story]

  9. Money Supply And Economic Data Weekly Watch — How the Fed is Making Banks Lend

    2

    The Fed­eral Reserve is forc­ing banks to lend or face finan­cial dis­as­ter. The Fed’s lat­est strat­egy gives banks the stark choice of lend­ing or los­ing a lot of money from oper­a­tions. Every­one knows the Fed cut its tar­get Fed­eral Funds rate to the bone this week. In a less obvi­ous move, the Fed is also […] [read full story]

    0

    We’ve entered the twi­light zone. This week’s money sup­ply and eco­nomic data is sur­real. Money sup­ply is grow­ing at an unbe­liev­able pace. As mea­sured by sea­son­ally adjusted M1 and M2, the Fed announced that money sup­ply set new all time records. The quick rate of growth for money sup­ply is actu­ally accel­er­at­ing.
