The Fed Is Crashing The Markets
In this video, I review the progression from Bretton Woods 1 to Bretton Woods 2, as well as the recent unraveling of the petrodollar standard. We are entering uncharted territory, as the world moves towards a new monetary system. The risk of black swans and volatility and even a stock market crash is very high right now.
If commodities are no longer priced predominantly in US dollars, and US Treasuries are no longer pristine reserve assets, we need to find a new buyer of US Treasuries. Unless it's extraterrestrials, it is going to need to be the Fed. The Fed seems hell-bent on continuing to be hawkish, but it will be forced to reverse course and turn the money printers back on once something major blows up.
