Inflation’s Collapse

[furrowtickler]

Production cuts , it’s exactly what every major ag manufacturer has done .
Ag inputs, machinery and all costs related continue to inflate at record levels

Fallout in natural gas, precious metals and copper getting nasty. This is a stark waring to crude oil (IMO).
OPEC production cuts may be more panic move to derail a possible washout in oil prices. Cause: quickly deepening global recession. Asset prices coming under increased selling pressure.

These comments definitely not coming from main stream media . . . .

The futures markets are bust the vaults close to empty. The Comex and LBMA are being exposed for what they are a fraudulent price fixing mechanism. The disconnect between the physical price and the spot has never been wider and its growing.

Errol there is no putting the purchasing power back in the dollar. Those that control the printing presses for the reserve currency have overdone their privelege. Many nations around the world have had enough of absorbing that inflation and a weaponized dollar pushing a woke agenda. Membership into the BRICS alliance to trade in currency and systems outside the USD are rapidly expanding with Saudi Arabia the latest to show interest. When reserve currencies reach the end of the road it typically comes with currency wars, trade wars and finishes with a shooting war. History may not repeat, but it often rhymes. The CPI will only accelerate as Central banks liquidate USD reserve balances into physical commodities and competing currencies. There maybe extreme volatility, death throws, but the overal trend can't be stopped a loss of confidence in the purchasing power of the dollar.

So much for the fallout in Nat Gas

Now come the rate cuts . . . .

Inflation a ghost of its former self and dropping quickly. Deflation new kid in town as debt crisis gains momentum.

Central bankers should just as a trucker how the economy is doing. Short wait-times at loading docks. Paperwork done quickly. Room to park the rigs.

Bank crisis in-progress as the easy money gravy train has dried up. U.S. regional bank being swept under rug, but rug simply not big enough. How deep are Cdn banks into regionals? . . . .

Reality check coming. Welcome to last half 2023 . . .

No reason yet to cut rates, if anything they should go up a little more. Thos is where the BOC rate should stay, it still gives investors a decent rate of return and still reasonably low rates for those borrowing. BOC rates have been to low for to long, and up to know the stock market was the only game in town. Governments will have the biggest problems, they have over spent for far too many years, Trudope adding more to our debt in 7 years than all the previous governments did in 150 years. Need to elect fiscal responsible government that can live within its means.

Still asleep mustard?

No rent paid by U.S. government on their office space. True? California beginning a portion of debt default.

Folks, this ain’t good . . . a nasty recession / depression ahead.

Correction already: On 20 % of office space suggested.

The road forward is the choice between debt default or a Zimbabwe like implosion of the currency. Debt default is much preferred option but don't count on it.
