M2 Money Supply is surging. Will gold follow? M2マネーサプライが急増している。ゴールドはこれを追従するだろうか？
Let's investigate an alleged relationship between gold and M2, a measure of money supply in the US.
よく言われるM2（米国のマネーサプライ指標）とゴールドの関係について調べてみよう。
"There’s a clear correlation between the annual growth rate in M2 money supply and the price of the yellow metal. "
「M2の年率増加速度とゴールド価格の間には明らかな相関がある。」
Clear Correlation? 明らかな相関？
The Tweet claims something different than my lead chart depicts. So let's investigate the above idea in other time frames.
If we look at longer time frames, the rate of increase in M2 theory falls flat on its face.
もっと長期間を見ると、M2増加率理論は意味を成さないことが解る。
One can force a correlation starting in 2010 but that is purposeful
cherry-picking a timeframe. and even then, the time period in the box is
counter-trend.
Similarly, one can find times when gold is correlated to the dollar,
the Yen, and most likely the popularity of peanuts at Cub games in some
time frame.
The best correlation I can find to the price of gold is faith in
central banks. Gold collapsed from $850 to $250 under Greenspan's "Great
Moderation". Greenspan was viewed as the "Maestro" until the dot-com
bubble collapsed.
Gold went on a tear during the housing bubble, but put in a top when ECB president Mario Draghi gave his famous speech: "We will do whatever it takes to save the Euro, and believe me it will be enough."
Draghi did nothing. His speech was enough. Bond yields on Greek,
Portuguese, and Italian bonds started collapsing right after that
speech. It was not until years later the ECB resorted to negative
interest rates and QE.
Gold started rising again when the ECB went nuts with QE and the Fed
started talking about "normalization"that anyone in their right mind
knew was not coming.
The BIS did a historical study and found routine price deflation was not any problem at all.
BISは長年物価デフレを研究してきた、そこに何ら問題はないという。
"Deflation may actually boost output. Lower prices increase real
incomes and wealth. And they may also make export goods more competitive,” stated the study.
It’s asset bubble deflation that is damaging. When asset bubbles burst, debt deflation results.
資産バブルデフレは損失を生み出す。資産バブルが破裂すると、債務デフレが生み出される。
Central banks’ seriously misguided attempts to defeat routine
consumer price deflation is what fuels the destructive build up of
unproductive debt and asset bubbles that eventually collapse.
The Fed And The Treasury Have Now Merged by Tyler Durden Thu, 04/09/2020 - 14:21 Submitted by Jim Bianco of Bianco Research As I've argued, the Fed and the Treasury merged. Powell said this was the case today (from his Q&A): 私はこれまでも申し上げてきたが、すでにFEDと財務省は一体化している。Powell自身がこれに当たると今日話した（彼の Q&Aでのことだ）： These programs we are using, under the laws, we do these, as I mentioned in my remarks, with the consent of the Treasury Secretary and the fiscal backing from the congress through the Treasury. And we are doing it to provide credit to households, businesses, state and local governments. As we are directed by the Congress. We are using that fiscal backstop to absorb any losses we have. 我々FEDが今行っている一連のプログラムは、法に基づいており、それを実行している、私が注意喚起したが、 財務長官の同意を得ており、財政に関しては議会の承認も得ている。私どもは家計、ビジネス、連邦地方政府に貸付を行っている。議会の意向のもとに我々は行動している。以下ほどに損失が生じようともそれを財政的に支えている。 Our ability is limited...
The Next Decade Will Likely Foil Most Financial Plans by Tyler Durden Tuesday, Jan 26, 2021 - 15:20 Authored by Lance Roberts via RealInvestmentAdvice.com, There are many individuals in the market today who have never been through an actual “bear market.” These events, while painful, are necessary to “reset the table” for outsized market returns in the future. Without such an event, it is highly likely the next decade will foil most financial plans. 現在の市場参加者の多くは本当の「ベアマーケット」を経験していない。こういう事が起きると、痛みを伴うが、将来の大きなリターンを可能にするために必要なちゃぶ台返しとなる。これがないと、多くのファイナンシャルプランは今後１０年ひどいことになりそうだ。 No. The March 2020 correction was not a bear market. As noted: ２０２０年３月の調整はベアマーケットと呼べるようなものではなかった。以前にも指摘したが： A bull market is when the price of the market is trending higher over a long-term period. ブル相場とは長期に渡り市場価格が上昇するものだ。 A bear market is when the previous advance breaks, and prices begin to trend lower. ベア相場とはこれまでの上昇が止まり、市場価格が下落し始めることだ。 The chart belo...
What Could Go Wrong? The Fed's Warns On Corporate Debt by Tyler Durden Thu, 05/09/2019 - 11:44 Authored by Lance Roberts via RealInvestmentAdvice.com, “So, if the housing market isn’t going to affect the economy, and low interest rates are now a permanent fixture in our society, and there is NO risk in doing anything because we can financially engineer our way out it – then why are all these companies building up departments betting on what could be the biggest crash the world has ever seen? What is more evident is what isn’t being said. Banks aren’t saying “we are gearing up just in case something bad happens.” Quite the contrary – they are gearing up for WHEN it happens. When the turn does come, it will be unlike anything we have ever seen before. The scale of it could be considerable because of the size of some...
