All the central banks have been taken over by MMT. Everyone is deep in debt, so the solution , it seems , is to "inflate the debt away". The problem is that they keep running huge deficits, which means they need to borrow money, just to service the debt. Even the slightest hike in rates can bring the whole thing down. So, they'll "print their way out". forget about stocks, stocks can tell lies. If you want the truth, look to what Bonds are doing. Yields on the 10yr are moving up, real fast. Not at historically high levels, but the direction is clear. If Powell doesn't react, we could see another Treasury auction debacle, and this thing could really get out of hand, real fast.

>> No.30410081

>>30405141
the problem with buying treasury bonds is 2 fold:
1.) it is based in the inflating currency
2.) if inflation happens interest rates will rise resulting in the devaluation of the bonds YOU'RE holding

I recommend you stay the course. Buy deflationary assets like crypto, PMs, commodities, and largecap stocks,

>> No.30410166

Cost push inflation is what we have now in the 10%-20% YoY range. This is inflation without economic growth. Stagflation. Everything costs more but wagies make the same or less. This is the same type of inflation as in the 70s, which was caused by oil price wars.

Monetary inflation is demand pull, or "good inflation" and it's what the Fed tries to isolate in the CPI & PCE core meme metrics. It's only ever 1%-2% of the total inflation. It's "good" because prices are pulled up due to increases in income across the board. This is also the only type of inflation that can make debt easier to service.

So what do you think? Has your income stayed the same? Are businesses in your area cutting corners and raising prices? Does your food cost more while having shittier ingredients?
Where I am, It's yes to all - stagflation.

long term treasuries wont print cash if at these low interest rates. you know what inflation is right? An expansion of the money supply. With more dollars chasing the same amount of assets, what happens to the assets? It increases in value.

This moron is trying to appeal to what he thinks is fundamentals: assets are overvalued because the old fundamentals no longer work. Clearly the assets are inflated but assets aren't broken, THE MONEY IS BROKEN.

In a world that printing away as many dollars as possible, devaluing the currency that's chasing a finite amount of goods, why the hell would you park yourself in an asset class derived directly from the value of that currency?

Even if interest rates do spike temporarily, fed wont let that happen, they'll run YCC on it and beat it back down again. The money will flow and if you listen to this moron you're going to be bag holding while you get priced out of every market on earth.

Is he right or wrong about how repeated QE always end up in the markets first?
In fact, the only time in recent history when QE ended up in the hands of the plebs was during Trump's term, and even this upcoming stimulus/QE was started during Trump's term.
It's always ended up directly back in the hands of the kikes (through the instrument of the stock market) because they're the ones doing the printing.

There was deflation throughout the 1800s
Even the IMF admits deflation is not bad and possibly good. The reason the state and it's subservient media claim inflation is good is so politicians can buy votes.
"From a broader historical perspective, secular increases in the aggregate price level are very
much a phenomenon of the second half of the twentieth century.12 For much of recorded history,
prices rose because of supply shocks, including military conflicts or harvest failures, but abstracting from these factors, prices were as likely to increase as decline: there were few
episodes of sustained inflation. Over the nineteenth century as a whole, there was a marked decline in the aggregate CPI in several major economies (Chart 4). In the United States, the CPI
index in 1900 was around half its value in 1800"

It's better than deflation though (at least for fiat currency) because deflation only happens when either efficiency increases and products get cheaper (the only good kind of deflation really) or when an asset crashes, or when people don't have enough money to buy things so sellers make things cheaper to account for that.
You would expect inflation to rise with the rise in population, any more than that harms people who save money, less than that means an economic slump.
As an example of a deflationary currency you have BTC, some shitcoins, and goldbacks. The more these are adopted the more they're worth. It's almost always better to hold deflationary currency but since normies don't understand inflation they don't understand its opposite either and are totally okay trading US dollars. Why you would EVER want to hold currency that inflates if you knew what inflation was is beyond me.

lol the investment banks need the inflation narrative to spread because they have invested heavily in the retail banking space and if rates keep doing down they will lose power to wallmart and amazon who can leverage their customer base to provide banking services to them.

What the central bank is doing isn't MMT fuckface. It's the exact opposite. If the central bank were doing MMT the amount of money being created would be insignificant since the central bank would just deploy the money exactly where its' needed.

MMT is literally about acknowledging that we understand how inflation works instead of pretending that we don't and then just printing money without any logic and reason behind it.

Since we don't have MMT the central bank can't do jack shit except QE and interest rates which is the non MMT way of doing things.

This is the main problem with the Keynesian "inflation is good" argument, its fundamental theoretical premise (that the economy is full of homo economicus actors that evaluate everything as an investment) is practically falsified.
But because mainstream economists live in an artificial theoretical framework of their own making, where every human has a utility function they maximize and everyone buys the CPI basket of goods as their sole necessities, they can skate blatantly past any actual experimental confirmation.

This is also implying that wages will keep up with inflation. Unfortunately the opposite is true. Wages have not kept up with inflation or productivity since the early 60s. Do you seriously think corporations are going to pay you more because things are more expensive? Corporations do not give a shit. They will continue to fatten their bottom lines by suppressing one of their biggest costs, salaries.

Both the US population and US government are liable for an extreme amount of debt at a variable interest rate. Neither the government nor the citizens have any savings. They have only been able to get by because of the low interest rates. As rates go up, nobody will be able to afford their debt.

Of course, the government can prevent rates from going up via the federal reserve. However, the federal reserve can only buy those bonds by printing money, which will ultimately lead to increasing prices across the board.

The federal reserve doesn't have savings. They increase their balance sheet by magically giving themselves dollars ("printing money") and using it to buy junk that nobody else wants (assets on their balance sheet) which are now going to be mainly US treasury bonds, which means the US government receives that money. This is called monetizing the debt. In theory the US government will eventually pay that money back to the lender, but unless it dramatically cuts spending it will never have the capability to do that, so the federal reserve will have to keep issuing more and more money.

>the fed buying it at lower rates would just prevent the rate from going up
Yes.

>causing market instability
Any time a central bank or government fixes a price, preventing the free market from discovering a suitable price, it causes market instability. In this case, the fed is manipulating interest rates, which are the price of money. This is a large part of what has caused the massive overvaluation of real estate and stocks, since people can borrow at an artificially low price and spend it on these assets. Of course they are bound to come down at some point. Also, the rapidly expanding supply of US dollars from the fed will decrease their purchasing power. Think of it as people pricing the dollar in terms of goods and services. As the dollars become abundant, people pay a lower amount of stuff to get each dollar.

>> No.30421894

>>30421408

It isn't in the long term. In the short term, everyone who has buried themselves in mountains of debt would be in for a world of pain as the values of their assets stop inflating and the cost to pay off the debt increases.

>> No.30422347

Fundamentally though, can't this go on indefinitely. So long as they pump enough money into the treasury to keep rates down and liabilities paid, the fed could drag out the inflation to a "safe" speed, preventing a sudden collapse of the economy and resulting in just a slow painful decline.

Let's imagine that you're a fuckoff fund manager. Your decisions actually have economic value. Your fund has to move money around in blocks to avoid fucking up exchange rates. You maintain generational wealth.

Now, you want to produce a return of 5% a year. This is comfortably ahead of inflation of 2/3% a year but also not particularly risky. You're a clever fund manager so you spread your risk. Although you lose 1% each year in inflation by buying bonds, they are risk free and allow you to spread your risk. You might have, for example, 15% in safe bonds, 70% in safe stocks like GM, Exxon and the like. Companies that will always get bailed out if they go tits up because all their workers vote and will support a bail out.
>KEEP OUR JOBS DON'T STOP SUBSIDISING MY EMPLOYER PLEASE MR GOVERNMENT I'M BEGGING YOU TO LET ME REMAIN IN THE WAGE CAGE TO CONTINUE TO CONSOOM
They make, an average return in the region of 3%-7% a year.
You would then put 15% in riskier companies and ventures. Greyscale, startups and maybe shit like Nvidia. Upside return of +7% return a year until someone invents a better way of making frogs glow in the dark.

Now, say that bonds rates rise above inflation. You can now rebalance the risk that you were taking on GM not being taken out by the free market or cold fusion taking out your electricity generation interests. Some of that risk allocation goes into bonds that are a RISK FREE RETURN AHEAD OF INFLATION. For the really big guys, this is perfect. What's Bill Gates or the Rothchilds going to do with a 10x? They just want to maintain their position.

However, for the general population, this is disastrous. There's no more major money going into the stock market. This
