FED ACTION TODAY MARKS THE BEGINNING OF THE END OF THE FIAT MONETARY SYSTEM EXPERIMENT

WHAT IF BANKS ARE COORDINATING WITH THE FED TO LIQUIDATE TENS OF BILLIONS OF TROUBLED JPY CARRY TRADE POSITIONS?
What’s currently happening in markets makes little sense, to say the least, but lately, I received several interesting comments on my posts and articles that brought back memories of my time on the trading floor. One comment last week pointed at the usual practice (an open secret) between banks of…

WILL BOJ AND GPIF BE ABLE TO SAVE JAPAN FROM ANOTHER BLACK MONDAY?
Many investors and traders aren’t enjoying this weekend after what happened on Friday following the US NFP release. The immediate market reaction was, as usual, positive, with trading algorithms flooding US futures with bids while dumping volatility hedging, simultaneously crushing the VIX almost vertically from ~22.3 to ~19.
