After
several unsuccessful attempts to put his preferred candidates on the
Fed's board, moments ago Donald Trump announced that he intends to
nominate Christopher Waller, who is currently the Executive VP and
Director of Research, at the St. Louis Fed, to the board of the Federal
Reserve. Prior to his current position, Christopher served as a
professor and Chair of Economics at Notre Dame.

However, the reason why gold is spiking after hours, is that shortly
after tweeting the Waller nomination, Trump also confirmed the
previously rumored nomination of Judy Shelton to the Fed board:
I am pleased to announce that it is my intention to nominate Judy
Shelton, Ph. D., U.S. Executive Dir, European Bank of Reconstruction
& Development to be on the board of the Federal Reserve Judy is a
Founding Member of the board of directors of Empower America and has
served on the board of directors of Hilton Hotels.
ここで謹んでご報告する、私はJudy Shelton Ph.D、Eutopean Bank of Reconstruction & Developmentの米国代表役員、をFED役員に推薦する。JudyはEmpower Americaの創設メンバーで、ヒルトンホテルの取締役でも在る。
I am pleased to announce that it is my intention to nominate Judy Shelton, Ph. D., U.S. Executive Dir, European Bank of Reconstruction & Development to be on the board of the Federal Reserve....
I am pleased to announce that it is my intention to nominate Judy Shelton, Ph. D., U.S. Executive Dir, European Bank of Reconstruction & Development to be on the board of the Federal Reserve....
This is what Bloomberg reported back
in May: "The White House is considering conservative economist Judy
Shelton to fill one of the two vacancies on the Federal Reserve Board of
Governors that President Donald Trump has struggled to fill. She’s
currently U.S. executive director for the European Bank for
Reconstruction and Development, and previously worked for the Sound
Money Project, which was founded to promote awareness about monetary
stability and financial privacy."
５月にブルームバーグはこう報告した：「ホワイトハウスは保守的エコノミストであるJudy SheltonをFEDの役員空席二名の候補と考えている、トランプ大統領はこれを埋めることに積極的だ。彼女は現愛European Bank for Reconstruction and Develompentの米国代表役員で、これまでSound Money Projectで働いていた、この組織は金融安定化と財政プライバシーのために創設されたものだ。」
Since President Trump announced his intention to nominate Herman Cain
and Stephen Moore to serve on the Federal Reserve’s board of governors,
mainstream commentators have made a point of dismissing anyone
sympathetic to a gold standard as crankish or unqualified.
But it is wholly legitimate, and entirely prudent, to
question the infallibility of the Federal Reserve in calibrating the
money supply to the needs of the economy. No other government
institution had more influence over the creation of money and credit in
the lead-up to the devastating 2008 global meltdown. And the Fed’s
response to the meltdown may have exacerbated the damage by lowering the
incentive for banks to fund private-sector growth.
What began as an emergency decision in the wake of the financial
crisis to pay interest to commercial banks on excess reserves has become
the Fed’s main mechanism for conducting monetary policy. To raise
interest rates, the Fed increases the rate it pays banks to keep their
$1.5 trillion in excess reserves—eight times what is required—parked in
accounts at Federal Reserve district banks. Rewarding banks for holding
excess reserves in sterile depository accounts at the Fed rather than
making loans to the public does not help create business or spur job
creation.
Meanwhile, for all the talk of a “rules-based” system for
international trade, there are no rules when it comes to ensuring a
level monetary playing field. The classical gold standard established an
international benchmark for currency values, consistent with free-trade
principles. Today’s arrangements permit governments to manipulate their
currencies to gain an export advantage.
Money is meant to serve as a reliable unit of account and store of value across borders and through time. It’s
entirely reasonable to ask whether this might be better assured by
linking the supply of money and credit to gold or some other reference
point as opposed to relying on the judgment of a dozen or so monetary
officials meeting eight times a year to set interest rates. A
linked system could allow currency convertibility by individuals (as
under a gold standard) or foreign central banks (as under Bretton
Woods). Either way, it could redress inflationary pressures.
マネーとは本来国を超え時間を超えて信頼できる store of value であるはずだ。マネーと与信の供給をゴールドもしくは他の基準に連動させるといのは全く合理的なことで、一方現在は年に８回も各国の金融担当者が会合を持つのとは全く違う手法だ。こういう連動システムは個人の取引（金本位制のもとで）も各国中央銀行間（Bretton Woodsのもとで）の通貨交換をも可能にする。 どちらにしろインフレ圧力を無くする。
Judy Shelton is author of the 1998 book Money Meltdown; and previously she had concluded that "Central bankers, and their defenders, have proven less than omniscient."
Amazonで買物をしてContrarianJを応援しよう この長文記事をRay Dalioが発表し、ゴールドは＄１４００から＄１４２０へと急騰しました。GLD保持高に変化はないのでたぶん先物ポジションが進んでいます。 Ray Dalio Warns A "New Paradigm" Is Coming: "Buy Gold, Sell Stocks" by Tyler Durden Wed, 07/17/2019 - 14:44 Authored by Ray Dalio via LinkedIn, One of my investment principles is: 私の投資原則はこういうものだ： Identify the paradigm you’re in, examine if and how it is unsustainable, and visualize how the paradigm shift will transpire when that which is unsustainable stops. 現在のパラダイムを認識し、それがどの程度持続可能かどうか判断する、そしてパラダイムシフトがどのように起きるか、そしてその着地点を思い描く。 Over my roughly 50 years of being a global macro investor, I have observed there to be relatively long of periods (about 10 years) in which the markets and market relationships operate in a certain way (which I call “paradig...
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 ...
How Are Gold And Money Supply Related? by Tyler Durden Sun, 06/14/2020 - 13:00 Authored by Mike Shedlock via MishTalk, 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. このツイートの主張は私が示す最初のチャートが示すものとは異なる。というわけでこのtweetの主張を別の時間フレームで見てみよう。 Gold vs Rate of Change in M2 Money Supply ゴールド vs M2マネーサプライの変化率 If we look at longer time frames, the rate of increase in M2 theory falls flat on its face....
