Will higher Fed rates reverse Fed inflation?

The 70s Are Back For More Reasons Than Stagflation

“You did not stop inflation by jumping up and down on the gold price, the major barometer of inflation in the 1970s, nor can you in 2006.

Gold has always been a primary barometer of inflation whose price has been depressed from time to time by concerted action of central banks. They do this in hopes of killing inflationary psychology. Rather than doing that they have announced a more serious inflation presence, not its cure.

They have invited major interests into gold at more comfortable prices rather than keeping them out.

What you are seeing is nothing new at all. Similar action in the 1970s did not prevent inflation, dollar weakness, or create any change in the gold price bull market.

Yes this experience is quite uncomfortable for those without historical knowledge of the gold market. In the violent market of gold if you cannot stand the heat and you are now out, staying that way is quite advisable.

Again please read the definition of Stagflation which is gold positive and now visible, even though it has been in gear for a considerable amount of time.

STAGFLATION is:
Increasing costs and decreasing business activity = lower corporate profits and individual income = lower tax revenues plus exemption of the many from the Alternative Minimum Tax category = in the face of continue high spending an explosion in the US Federal budget deficit = in the face of a continuing US Trade deficit and a runaway US Current Account deficit = a severely lower US dollar = significantly higher gold prices = $1650 for gold!

Jumping up and down on the barometer of inflation, the gold price, will not stop the reality of inflation or the barometer itself.

Please look at interest rates, charted above, from 1968 to the first quarter of 1980 when gold moved from $35 to $887.50 and 10 year treasuries traded from over 100 to under 56. Keep this firmly in mind when the goldphobes yell at the top of their lungs today that higher rates kill gold and make the dollar. Those unfamiliar with history relive it uncomfortably.

In conclusion do not fall for the concerted action presently in place to break inflationary expectations. It did not work in the 70s and will not now.”
