| An Unexpected Systemic Crisis For Sure |
|
Alasdair Macleod, Michael Oliver and Michael Hudson return on this week’s radio program.
Downturns in bank credit expansion always lead to systemic problems. We are on the edge of such a downturn, which thanks to everyone’s focus on COVID-19 is unexpected. On March 23 markets stopped worrying about deflation and realized that monetary inflation is the certain outlook. That day, the Fed promised unlimited monetary stimulus for both consumers and businesses, and the dollar began to fall. Commercial banks everywhere are massively leveraged and their exposure to bad debts and a cyclical banking crisis is now certain to wipe many of them out.
Alasdair will talk about the impact on gold from a collapse of global systemically important banks (G-SIBs) and how Central Banks are preparing for a monetary reset that is not friendly to lovers of liberty. M. Hudson will update us about Hannan Metal's progress on its major copper-silver discovery in Peru and M. Oliver will share his latest insights on key markets. |
