Via SchiffGold.com, Gold has continued to
push upward. The latest catalyst was another escalation of the trade
war. Gold briefly moved above $1,550 in dollar terms. But it has done
even better in relation to other currencies. In fact, the yellow metal is at record highs in nearly every currency except the dollar.
ゴールドは上がり続けている。直近のキッカケは貿易戦争激化だった。短期間だがゴールドは$1550を超えた。しかし他国通貨ではもっとすばらしい。実際、殆どの通貨でゴールドは過去最高だ、唯一の例外がドルだ。
Peter Schiff appeared on RT America on Aug. 26 to talk about it. He
said he thinks gold is eventually going to make new highs in the dollar
as well, and this time, it’s not going to stop going up.
Peter Schiffは 8つき26日にRT Americaでインタビューを受けた。彼が言うにはやがてドルでも新高値になるだろう、そして今回は留まるところを知らない。
Peter said he doesn’t necessarily think that recession fears, in and of themselves, are pushing gold higher.
They’re worried about what the central banks, and in particular the
Federal Reserve, is going to do about the next recession. That’s why the
price of gold is going up - because the Fed is going to be going back
to zero; they’re going to be going back to quantitative easing and all
of this is good for gold.”
Peter noted that gold has been making record highs in almost every currency except the dollar.
Peterはこう述べる、ドル以外の殆どの通貨でゴールドは記録的高値になった。
And I think ultimately, we’re going to make a high in the dollar,
probably before too long. And you know, when the Fed did quantitative
easing the first time, the reason that the gold rally stopped at $1,900
was because everybody believed that the Fed had an exit strategy and
that they could reverse the process, normalize interest rates, unwind
their balance sheet. When they realize that they were mistaken to
believe that, that there is no exit strategy, that it’s
basically QE forever, that the balance sheet is going to grow into
perpetuity — gold’s not going to stop next time. It’s going to keep on
going.”
As far as the trade war goes, Peter called it “a bit of a distraction.”
Peterに言わせれば、貿易戦争など「ささいなものだ」。
The US economy is going into recession regardless of what happens
with trade... The trade war certainly makes a bad situation worse, but
it was a bad situation anyway. And I think a lot of people have some
false optimism that all we have to do is end the trade war and we’ll
avert recession. That’s not going to happen.”
Peter said he doesn’t expect the Chinese to simply surrender in the
trade war. In fact, he sees signs that the Chinese are digging in their
heels and believes the trade war could continue on beyond the next
election.
Peter said he doesn’t know what the Trump administration could do to
stave off the recession. He reiterated that recession is inevitable and
the problem is the more they delay it, the worse it’s going to be. He
said he thinks the downturn will start before the election and Trump
likely won’t be reelected.
I think the Fed will do what it can to avert it. They will go back to
zero. They will do more QE. We may even get some type of tax cut or
increased government spending in a vain effort to try to stimulate the
economy. But that’s not the type of stimulus the economy needs. We need
less government, not more government. We actually need higher interest
rates, not lower interest rates. But even if we do the right thing,
that’s not going to avert the recession because the recession is part of
the cure, and we need to embrace it, not resist it. Unfortunately,
politicians will never do that because they are more concerned about
their reelection that the long-term health of the economy.”
So, where should the average Joe put his money? Gold?
では、平均的な米国人はどこにお金を投じればよいのだろう? ゴールド?
Well, I think gold’s going up whether or not the stock markets crash.
In fact, the only way to prevent the stock markets from crashing is to
print a lot of money and slash rates, which is really good for gold. So
yes, people should be buying gold. Don’t think you’ve missed the
boat if it’s at $1,530 and you haven’t bought. We’re going a lot
higher. Remember, we were at $1,900, so we’re well off the highs. There
aren’t that many assets that you can find that are off their highs like
gold, other than silver, which is probably an even better buy. It’s
much further off its high.”
Peter said investors should stay away from the dollar, not only
because of the looming recession, but because its days as a reserve
currency could be numbered. Peter noted that even the Bank of England
president has said the dollar should no longer be the reserve.
Gold is going to be the reserve. Gold was the reserve before the dollar and it will be the reserve after the dollar.
So, people should buy it now. Don’t wait for that to happen because
when we remonetize gold, the price will be much, much higher than it is
today.”
Class 8 Heavy Truck Orders Crash 68% in January by Tyler Durden Wed, 02/06/2019 - 17:25 Among the latest dismal news about the strength of the US economy, on Tuesday ACT Research released preliminary truck orders for January 2019 which showed that Class 8 truck orders collapsed an astounding 68% for January. The decline is being attributed to a 300,000+ vehicle backlog potentially prompting fleets to halt purchases in the near term. 米国経済に関し最近憂鬱なニュースが多い中で、火曜にACT researchが2019年1月のトラック発注を開示した、1月にClass 8のトラック発注がなんと68%も急落した。この発注減は短期的に300,000台超の潜在在庫を生み出す。 Specifically, in January Class 8 net orders were 15,800 units (14,700 SA; 176,400 SAAR), down 68% YoY and down 26% MoM.

We strongly believe it is poised to fail. The problem for bullish late-cycle momentum investors trying to play a breakout to new highs here is the oncoming freight train of deteriorating macro-economic conditions. 米国株式は記録的バリエーションのもとで再度過去最高を試している。私どもはこれが失敗すると強く信じている。景気拡大終盤で強気のモメンタム投資家が新高値を試そうとしていることの問題は、マクロ経済条件の悪化にある。 US corporate profit growth, year-over-year, for the S&P 500 already fully evaporated in the first quarter of 2019 and is heading toward outright decline for the full year based on earnings estimate revision trends.

中国が債務増加していることはたしかです。ただ日本の例を日銀資金循環報告でみると家計、320兆円、民間非金融機関1,785兆円、一般政府 1,284兆円となります。合算すると3,300兆円にもなり、GDPの600%を超えています。 https://www.boj.or.jp/statistics/sj/sjexp.pdf この記事の統計と同じ考え方で数値を採用しているのかどうか気になります。 加えて、この資金循環報告に書かれている海外資産というのが内数なのか外数なのか?私にはよくわかりません。当然海外債務も結構な額になります。一度日銀資金循環 図表1を見てください。詳しい方に教えていただければ。 この中国のたどる道は昔のソ連とかMMTと同様で、自国通貨ならいくら発行しても倒産はしない、というか為政者が痛みに耐えることができず緩和を続けるというものです。でも最終的には限界点に達します。ソ連は建国から崩壊まで70年かかりました。 自由主義経済なら立ち行かなくなった企業は退場してもらうというのが減速なのですが、これがうまくゆかないわけです。 でも日本は中国のはるか先を言っているように見えます。ちょっと検索したのですが、日本の債務に関しては政府債務に言及したものばかりで、この記事のように民間、個人まで総合的に記載しているのは日銀の資金循環統計しか見つけることができませんでした。 China Continues To Pile Debt On Top Of More Debt Written by Jesse Colombo | Feb, 27, 2019 Like many countries, China attempted to rein in its debt growth over the past couple years, but ultimately gave up and is now back to piling on even more debt.

Amazonで買物をしてContrarianJを応援しよう Silver Outperforming Gold 2 Adam Hamilton July 26, 2019 3232 Words Silver has blasted higher in the last couple weeks, far outperforming gold. This is certainly noteworthy, as silver has stunk up the precious-metals joint for years. This deeply-out-of-favor metal may be embarking on a sea-change sentiment shift, finally returning to amplifying gold’s upside. Silver is not only radically undervalued relative to gold, but investors are aggressively buying. Silver’s upside potential is massive. ここ2週シルバーは急騰した、ゴールドを遥かに凌ぐものだ。これは注目すべきことだ、もう何年もシルバーはひどいものだった。この極端に嫌われた金属が大きく心理を買えている、とうとうゴールド上昇を増幅するに至った。シルバーは対ゴールドで極端に過小評価されているだけでなく、投資家は積極的に買い進んでいる。シルバーの潜在上昇力は巨大なものだ。 Silver’s performance in recent years has been brutally bad, repelling all but the most fanatical contrarians. Historically silver prices have been mostly ...
