The Federal Reserve has potentially had the most memorable year in its more than a century–long history .

The Fed is no longer utilizing this strategy .

According to “ robust adjustments ” to the Statement on Longer-Run @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Powell-led institution will embrace average inflation targeting .

The Federal Reserve has potentially had the most memorable year in its more than a century–long history. What started out as a year of “Will they or won’t they cut interest rates?” blossomed into a time of slashing rates to near zero, unleashing unlimited quantitative easing, purchasing corporate and municipal bonds, and growing its balance sheet to a record high. Now, as the economic consequences from the covid-19 pandemic linger, the Fed has taken advantage of the crisis to modify its policies to be more expansionary—which will inevitably blow bubbles and wreak havoc on households everywhere.
The Jackson Hole Shift
Fed chair Jerome Powell delivered prepared remarks during the annual Jackson Hole symposium. Powell virtually announced a historic policy shift in the way the US central bank approaches inflation. The standard policy had been that when inflation climbs, the central bank raises interest rates to curb it, much like what happened in the 1980s. The Fed is no longer utilizing this strategy. Instead, it is damn the torpedoes and full speed ahead.
According to “robust adjustments” to the Statement on Longer-Run Goals and Monetary Policy Strategy, the Powell-led institution will embrace average inflation targeting. This will enable the Fed to let inflation run above the 2 percent target rate after periods when it has come in below that level. Now that the Fed no longer feels compelled to raise rates when inflation surges or the unemployment rate drops, is there a specific number the Eccles Building needs to anticipate? No. Powell stopped short of listing what jobless and inflation rates he would prefer to see, choosing to allow the market to determine what is too much inflation and what is full employment. He also did not say what would happen if inflation increases beyond what the Fed would like.
Many find it counterintuitive that the Fed would want to push up inflation. However, inflation that is persistently too low can pose serious risks to the economy. [The situation] can lead to an unwelcome fall in longer-term inflation expectations, which, in turn, can pull actual inflation even lower, resulting in an adverse cycle of ever-lower inflation and inflation expectations. We have seen this adverse dynamic play out in other major economies around the world and have learned that once it sets in, it can be very difficult to overcome. We want to do what we can to prevent such a dynamic from happening here.
Powell was short on a lot of details, but what we do know this heralds: more inflation and low rates.
What This Means for You
The 2 percent inflation target rate had already been a befuddling and arbitrary figure in the first place. There is practically no theoretical justification for this number other than some schemer using it to advance the cause of the interventionists. It is more of central planners tossing random numbers, something that former Fed chair Paul Volcker admitted to in his book, Keeping at It: The Quest for Sound Money and Good Government. But the Fed lifting this target is bad news for everyone.
Seniors nearing retirement typically transition into more conservative investments as they head toward their winter years, such as bonds and cash deposits. With interest rates at near zero, the returns would hardly be enough for retirees to keep up with ballooning living costs. If it is bad now for the millions of older adults out of the workforce, think about what will happen when inflation is allowed to go higher for longer.
When the Fed slashed interest rates by 150 basis points during the market meltdown in March, the organization injected trillions of dollars in cheap money into the equities arena. The move allowed the stock market to not only reclaim its milestones but also to touch record highs. The consensus is that the Nasdaq Composite Index is in a bubble, and the longer rates stay lower, the more significant asset inflation will be—and the massive amount of damage that will occur once the Fed tightens policy. Does this mean the stock market will go up forever? Perhaps that is the objective of the Powell Putsch.

While it is unlikely the greenback will lose its reserve currency status any time soon, the fiat money’s days are numbered. The Fed’s latest Frankenstein experiment will be a contributing factor to the buck’s demise.
The Next Monetary Frontier
If you thought the 2007–09 response by Ben Bernanke and his Federal Reserve System was extraordinary, you have not been paying attention to what is currently happening under Powell’s watch. A zero interest rate policy, unlimited asset buying, Wall Street bailouts, and now guaranteed inflation. This is a never-ending monetary accommodation that leaves you asking: What else will the Fed do after inflation averaging? At this point, the only actions left for the Fed are to buy stocks directly and to bring interest rates to below zero. Of course, nobody would have thought Jerome Powell and associates would defy textbook monetary policy and opt for higher inflation. Forget the fake news industrial complex. The Federal Reserve is the enemy of the people.

According to Vanguard, sometimes other countries will outperform the U.S. and if you are diversified you won’t miss out. (PDF)

“Another benefit of global diversification is the opportunity to participate in whichever regional market is outperforming.

For example, while the United States may lead over some periods, another country or region will invariably lead at other points. “

According to Fidelity, the currency exchange risk that comes from international stocks is not a major issue for long-term investors.

“Actually, history shows that hedging currency returns doesn’t improve international stock returns—at least not over the long term. Currency hedging (holding a stock denominated in a foreign currency and an equal but opposite short position in the currency itself) is intended to prevent currency fluctuations from hurting the stock price. While it sounds good in theory, the time and cost it takes to hedge currency has not paid off over time.

The sheer amount of panic that investors have felt in a matter of a few days has been real.

The ruling elites from Deutsche Bank are warning that the “ age of disorder ” is coming .

And you can bet none of that “ reshaping ” will be done in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
They will “ reorder ” society as they see fit to keep us in a two-tier society as their slaves .
While we saw “ the best-combined asset price growth of any era in history , with equity and bond returns very strong across the board ” since 1980 , “ the Age of Disorder ” is likely to break this trend , said Deutsche Bank elitists , according to a report by RT .
Economic war will go on complete with tariffs , sanctions , and attacks in the technology sphere @ @ @ @ @ @ @ election say the banksters .
These slave masters want to shift even more power and fiat currency away from the public and into their hands .
“ Such a shift in the balance of power could include a harsher inheritance tax regime , less income protection for pensioners , more property taxes , along with greater income and corporates taxes… and all-round more redistributive policies , ” the Deutsche Bank report said .
Translation , be ready to be their slave , and obey their commands .
Pay attention and be aware of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ do not live in fear .
Knowing is different than fearing .
It gives you the opportunity to prepare yourself and get ready for what they have planned for us .
This is all a scam to force us to be slaves to the elites .

Slavery needs to be abolished for good , and all forms should go including enslavement to democracy .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ controversial statement ” is a testament to how well they have been able to control the minds of the public .

The ruling elites from Deutsche Bank are warning that the “age of disorder” is coming. If you know anything about those wealthy bankers who pull the strings of the political puppets, you know they desire to control and own the world, and regularly use the phrase “ordo ab chao.” Order out of chaos.
Deutsche Bank analysts have said in a new research note, that this “age of disorder” will likely reshape politics and economics. And you can bet none of that “reshaping” will be done in the best interests of the general population. They will “reorder” society as they see fit to keep us in a two-tier society as their slaves.
While we saw “the best-combined asset price growth of any era in history, with equity and bond returns very strong across the board” since 1980, “the Age of Disorder” is likely to break this trend, said Deutsche Bank elitists, according to a report by RT. Economic war will go on complete with tariffs, sanctions, and attacks in the technology sphere regardless of who wins the 2020 presidential election say the banksters.
These slave masters want to shift even more power and fiat currency away from the public and into their hands. “Such a shift in the balance of power could include a harsher inheritance tax regime, less income protection for pensioners, more property taxes, along with greater income and corporates taxes… and all-round more redistributive policies,” the Deutsche Bank report said. Translation, be ready to be their slave, and obey their commands.

PREPPING FOR THE UPCOMING GOVERNMENT-INDUCED FOOD SHORTAGES
This is all a scam to force us to be slaves to the elites. The government is in on it and most of them are puppets of all of these “elitists” who think they have the right to own others. Slavery needs to be abolished for good, and all forms should go including enslavement to democracy. The fact that that’s a “controversial statement” is a testament to how well they have been able to control the minds of the public.

WASHINGTON (NewsNation Now) — The number of Americans applying for unemployment benefits was unchanged last week at 884,000, a sign that recovery is stalling and layoffs are stuck at a historically high level six months after the coronavirus pandemic flattened.
The latest figure released by the Labor Department Thursday, the most timely data on the economy’s health, followed news last Friday of a further slowdown in employment growth in August and still far exceeds the number who sought benefits in any week on record before this year.
The 884,000 number of initial claims for state unemployment benefits was seasonally adjusted for the week ending Sept. 5. Claims dropped from about 1 million the prior week after the government changed the methodology it used to address seasonal fluctuations in the data, which had become less reliable given the economic shock from the coronavirus crisis.

Back in June 2020 , it was still making higher highs ( i.e .
no divergence ) , and thus it was saying that the market was likely NOT at an important price high .
A minor pullback was still possible at any time , but the uptrend should be considered as NOT over .
That was a good message , and the price uptrend continued all the way to the Sep. 2 top @ @ @ @ @ @ @ developed between prices making a higher high but this indicator making lower highs .
This was an important topic discussed in our Daily Edition , where the value for this indicator gets reported every day .
That divergence said that trouble was brewing , although that message is only about a condition .
It is not a “ signal ” to tell us when that condition will matter .
But it is still a nice condition to know about .
The drop from that Sep. 2 top has given us the fulfillment of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Okay , so what ’ s next ?
The history shows us that a meaningful drop out of such a divergence does not end after just a 3-day drop .
Usually it lasts until this indicator gets down close to the 30 oversold level , or even below it .
In either case , the implication for the moment right now is that there is still more work to do .

That was a good message, and the price uptrend continued all the way to the Sep. 2 top. Along the way, a divergence developed between prices making a higher high but this indicator making lower highs. This was an important topic discussed in our Daily Edition, where the value for this indicator gets reported every day. That divergence said that trouble was brewing, although that message is only about a condition. It is not a “signal” to tell us when that condition will matter. But it is still a nice condition to know about.
The drop from that Sep. 2 top has given us the fulfillment of the big warning from the divergence. Okay, so what’s next? The history shows us that a meaningful drop out of such a divergence does not end after just a 3-day drop. Usually it lasts until this indicator gets down close to the 30 oversold level, or even below it. In either case, the implication for the moment right now is that there is still more work to do.


investmentwatchblog--2020-09-11--Gold Reaches $2,000 Amid Dollar Depreciation

$ 2,000 .
Think about this number .
Theoretically , it ’ s just a number , one of many .
But… somehow we feel that jumping above this level was a big event in the gold market .
After all , gold surpassed this psychologically important point for the first time in history , reaching record high , as the chart below shows .
How did gold manage to achieve it ?
The obvious reason is the coronavirus crisis and its economic consequences .
But let ’ s be more specific .
The first driver was the elevated risk @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Great Lockdown , which increased the safe-haven demand for gold .
The second explanation is the Fed ’ s easy monetary policy .
It ’ s true that inflation remains low , but investors should remember that rising goods prices are not the only sign of easy money .
The ultra low real interest rates , ballooned Fed ’ s balance sheet with the broad money supply as well , and elevated equity prices – all these factors reflected the Fed ’ s ultra dovish stance , and boosted the gold prices .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ s depreciation .
As one can see in the chart below , the greenback lost more than 7 percent in value since its March high , reversing a safe-haven rally amid coronavirus crisis .
Although the weakening of the U.S. dollar partially reflected the Fed ’ s accommodative stance and the increase in the risk appetite , we should not forget about investors ’ growing demand for a safe-haven alternative to the dollar .
I mean here that the loss of confidence in the U.S. government , Trump ’ s weaponization of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ investors to diversify their investment portfolios .
As there is no sensible alternative among other major fiat currencies , some people could switch to gold .
To be clear , I ’ m not writing about the demise of the U.S. dollar ’ s , as the reports about its fall are , as always , greatly exaggerated .
I ’ m analyzing here the economic reasons behind the greenback ’ s sharp depreciation – in order to draw investment conclusions for precious metals investors .
First , the dollar tends to weaken @ @ @ @ @ @ @ sentiment improved after the worst phase of the coronavirus crisis , the greenback simply corrected after previous gains .
Second , the U.S. central bank eased its monetary stance in the response to the economic collapse , slashing interest rates .
The lower yields accrued to the dollar-denominated bonds narrowed the divergence in interest rates across the Atlantic ( see the chart below ) , which reduced capital inflows into America and triggered a shift in holdings in favor of other markets .
Third , the U.S. did a poor job in containing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , which worsened its economic outlook and made investors expect ultra low interest rates kept by the Fed for longer .
Fourth , the U.S. central bank added massive liquidity into financial markets and activated currency swaps with other central banks , increasing the supply of greenbacks .
Fifth , the Fed is effectively monetizing massive fiscal deficits , which also leads to large external deficits .
So , what ’ s next for the dollar and gold ?
Well , with improving health and economic situation in the U.S. , the downward @ @ @ @ @ @ @ On the other hand , the adopted ultra dovish stance makes the Fed similar to the ECB and the Bank of Japan , which should maintain the downward pressure on the dollar .
In other words , it seems that the U.S. dollar could rally again only if there is another risk-off moment , such as the second wave of infections in Europe or the financial crisis .
But gold should move in tandem with the greenback , then .
Summing up , gold has recently jumped above the psychologically important level of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ depreciated sharply .
Some analysts link these two events and claim that the gold ’ s rally was caused by the dollar ’ s depreciation .
Although it certainly helped , please note that the greenback lost just about 7 percent , while gold gained about 40 percent since spring .
So , it seems that in the current environment of very dovish Fed , ultra low real interest rates , and high public debt , gold can shine even without serious weakness in the dollar .
That ’ s great – but @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is likely that the greenback started a cyclical decline in spring amid the banana-republic-style money creation and debt monetization by the Fed .

$2,000. Think about this number. Theoretically, it’s just a number, one of many. But… somehow we feel that jumping above this level was a big event in the gold market. After all, gold surpassed this psychologically important point for the first time in history, reaching record high, as the chart below shows.
How did gold manage to achieve it? The obvious reason is the coronavirus crisis and its economic consequences. But let’s be more specific. The first driver was the elevated risk perception spurred by the pandemic and the Great Lockdown, which increased the safe-haven demand for gold.
The second explanation is the Fed’s easy monetary policy. It’s true that inflation remains low, but investors should remember that rising goods prices are not the only sign of easy money. The ultra low real interest rates, ballooned Fed’s balance sheet with the broad money supply as well, and elevated equity prices – all these factors reflected the Fed’s ultra dovish stance, and boosted the gold prices.
The third reason is the dollar’s depreciation. As one can see in the chart below, the greenback lost more than 7 percent in value since its March high, reversing a safe-haven rally amid coronavirus crisis.
Although the weakening of the U.S. dollar partially reflected the Fed’s accommodative stance and the increase in the risk appetite, we should not forget about investors’ growing demand for a safe-haven alternative to the dollar. I mean here that the loss of confidence in the U.S. government, Trump’s weaponization of the greenback, and trade wars inclined many investors to diversify their investment portfolios. As there is no sensible alternative among other major fiat currencies, some people could switch to gold.
To be clear, I’m not writing about the demise of the U.S. dollar’s, as the reports about its fall are, as always, greatly exaggerated. I’m analyzing here the economic reasons behind the greenback’s sharp depreciation – in order to draw investment conclusions for precious metals investors.

First, the dollar tends to weaken during risk-on episodes, so when market sentiment improved after the worst phase of the coronavirus crisis, the greenback simply corrected after previous gains. Second, the U.S. central bank eased its monetary stance in the response to the economic collapse, slashing interest rates. The lower yields accrued to the dollar-denominated bonds narrowed the divergence in interest rates across the Atlantic (see the chart below), which reduced capital inflows into America and triggered a shift in holdings in favor of other markets.
Third, the U.S. did a poor job in containing the coronavirus compared to other developed countries, which worsened its economic outlook and made investors expect ultra low interest rates kept by the Fed for longer. Fourth, the U.S. central bank added massive liquidity into financial markets and activated currency swaps with other central banks, increasing the supply of greenbacks. Fifth, the Fed is effectively monetizing massive fiscal deficits, which also leads to large external deficits.
So, what’s next for the dollar and gold? Well, with improving health and economic situation in the U.S., the downward pressure on the greenback should weaken. On the other hand, the adopted ultra dovish stance makes the Fed similar to the ECB and the Bank of Japan, which should maintain the downward pressure on the dollar. In other words, it seems that the U.S. dollar could rally again only if there is another risk-off moment, such as the second wave of infections in Europe or the financial crisis. But gold should move in tandem with the greenback, then.

In March, the Mayor of Philadelphia banned indoor dining throughout the entire city, because of COVID.
The ban was still in effect last week when the Mayor was caught dining indoors at a friend’s restaurant in Maryland.
Apparently, he was not actually that worried about the dangers of indoor dining.
But instead of allowing Philidelphians to make their own decisions, like he did, the Mayor destroyed their restaurant businesses in the name of COVID safety.

Business owners in San Francisco are still prohibited from opening their gyms.
Meanwhile, gyms in government buildings have been open since July.
Police, prosecutors, judges, bailiffs, and paralegals are all free to go to their taxpayer-funded gyms.
And after a weight session, they return to work to enforce the shut down of the peasants’ gyms.
(This is the same city that shut down indoor hair salons for everyone except Nancy Pelosi. She was caught breaking the rules and getting her hair done indoors last week.)

Hiring a “happy” stylist discriminates against unhappy people
