Peter Schiff appeared on RT Boom Bust on Tuesday (Sept. 17) to talk about interest rates, gold and the dollar. Peter said the fiat currency system may not survive the next recession.
Peter Schffは9月17日にRT Boom Bustで金利、ゴールドそしてドルについて語った。Peterが言うには、次の景気後退で管理通貨は生き残れないだろう、と。
The conversation started focusing on the repo operations conducted by the Federal Reserve early in the week, Peter said the financial media and Wall Street are being much too complacent about what’s going on.
Peter noted that the Fed has been artificially suppressing interest rates, particularly since the 2008 financial crisis.
Peterが言うには、FEDは人工的に金利を抑圧してきた、特に2008年の金融危機以来だ。
And by keeping interest rates artificially low, they have created a
bubble that’s much bigger than the one that popped in 2008. And what
happened this morning is you could see the air coming out of that
bubble, because the market is trying to bring interest rates higher
because we have no real savings in this country. We have enormous debt. Everybody
is levered up to the max — government, the private sector, business,
consumers — because rates have been so low, we’ve borrowed so much money.
The market wants interest rates to be higher but the Fed doesn’t want
that to happen because the road back to normal interest rates is a very
bumpy one because it’s going to take us right through another financial
crisis. So, the Fed is trying to keep interest rates artificially low
and they almost lost control of it this morning. “
In effect, the Fed created about $50 to $70 billion out of thin air to supply the liquidity that the market needed.
実際には、FEDは$50Bから$70Bの資金を無から生み出し市場の要求に応じて流動性注入を行った。
But what happens next time? What happens if we need $100 billion? What happens if we need a trillion? Because
eventually, we will. Eventually, the Fed has to choose between
destroying the dollar and allowing the market to bring interest rates to
a level that makes sense for an economy with this much debt. Then all
hell breaks loose because we have a much worse financial crisis than the
one we had in ‘o8.”
Peter said as far as the Federal Reserve goes, we are heading toward a
recession, but the cure for what ails us is not cutting interest rates.
He said we need to go through the recession and higher rates are part
of the cleansing process.
But the Federal Reserve has no stomach for doing what’s right, so,
they will cut interest rates becuase that’s what the addicts on Wall
Street demand. So, we’re not going to have a real recovery. We’re just going to try to maintain this bubble.”
Peter reiterated what he’s been saying for months. The Fed will go
back to zero. It might even go negative. It will launch another round of
QE. But it won’t work this time.
They also discussed what Peter has called a very violent move in the bond market. Peter said the real problem is in the long end of the market where 30-year yields are barely above 2%.
Who in their right mind would loan the US government money
for 30 years — you’re not getting your money back for 30 years — at 2%
coupons for the next 30 years, waiting to get repaid?”
Peter touched on recent charges brought against JP Morgan employees
relating to the manipulations of the gold price. He said price
manipulation isn’t the reason the price of gold is relatively low.
It’s not much higher because too many people don’t understand what’s
going on. You know, they have confidence in the Federal Reserve, other
central banks. They believe in this bubble. They are as fooled
now as they were going into the 2008 financial crisis. The difference
was they were bailed out last time. As wrong as all the experts
were on Wall Street and in other countries who couldn’t see an obvious
crisis coming, when they were blindsided, their pals at the Federal
Reserve and other central banks were able to bail them out. It’s
not going to work this time. It doesn’t mean the central banks won’t
try. But as I said, it won’t succeed. They’re going to destroy the
dollar in the process, maybe even bring down the entire fiat monetary
system. And gold is already rising. Gold is telling you on the
ashes of this old system we’re going to resurrect the gold standard.
Because that’s what we had prior to the dollar taking over. We had a
much sounder monetary system then. We had a more viable global economy. Once
we took the money out of the economy, once we substituted real money
for fiat, that was the beginning of these problems and the end of these
problems is going to be returning to honest money, which is gold.”
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.

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. Class 5- 7 January net orders were 23,400...
Amazonで買物をしてContrarianJを応援しよう "On The Precipice" by Tyler Durden Mon, 06/24/2019 - 14:30 Authored by Kevin Ludolph via Crescat Capital, Dear Investors: The US stock market is retesting its all-time highs at record valuations yet again. 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. Note the alligator jaws divergence in the chart be...
Powell Keeps The Bond Bull Kicking Written by Lance Roberts | Mar, 21, 2019 In a widely expected outcome, the Federal Reserve announced no change to the Fed funds rate but did leave open the possibility of a rate hike next year. Also, they committed to stopping “Quantitative Tightening (or Q.T.)” by the end of September. 多くの人が予想したとおり、FEDはFFR変更をしないだけでなく来年も不明とした。さらには、QTを9月末に終えると約束した。 The key language from yesterday’s announcement was: 昨日の発表の重要な部分はこういう具合だ: “ Information received since the Federal Open Market Committee met in January indicates that the labor market remains strong but that growth of economic activity has slowed from its solid rate in the fourth quarter . Payroll employment was little changed in February, but job gains have been solid, on average, in recent months, and the unemployment rate has remained low. 「1月のFOMC以来の情報を分析すると、労働市場は強いがQ4に比べると経済成長は鈍化している。2月の雇用環境にほとんど変化がなかった、ここ数ヶ月確実に雇用は増えている、そして失業率は低いままだ。 Recent indicators point to s...
