| June FOMC Meeting and Gold |
| Yesterday, the Fed hiked its interest rates for the fourth time during the current tightening cycle. What does it imply for the gold market?
In line with expectations and our Wednesday’s preview, the Fed raised the federal funds rate by 25 basis points. This way, the U.S. central bank delivered the first hike since March, and the fourth rate increase in the post-crisis period. As there were not any other significant changes in the monetary statement, the most important paragraph of the released Thursday, June 15, 2017 |

| Fed Hike Pushes Gold Down |
| The long-awaited second Fed hike has finally arrived! What does it mean for the gold market?
As widely expected, the U.S. central bank delivered the second rate hike in almost a decade. Investors waited a year for this move, as the Fed postponed it again and again. The key paragraph of the released statement is as follows:
“In view of realized and expected labor market conditions and inflation, the Committee decided to raise the target range for the federal funds rate to 1/2 to 3/4 percent. The Thursday, December 15, 2016 |

| Criss-Crossed Fuses And Lit Bonfire |
| Many are the potential fuses to be lit, which would create the conflagration, the massive bonfire of the bond vanities and bank charades. Many are the fuses lying around, all criss-crossed, all exposed, all overlapping each other in highly dangerous manner. If any single fuse is lit, then several will light and the detonation arrives. It is unavoidable since the financial world is so deeply interwoven. Never in modern history has the global financial structure been so badly weakened, so totally Monday, November 28, 2016 |

| The "Horrible Headline" That Stands Out Above the Rest |
| It’s not fair! Whether I write five, three, or two pages of text, there isn’t enough space to cover the runaway train snowballing avalanche out of control pandemic that is the “terminal phase” of history’s largest, most destructive fiat Ponzi scheme. On any given day, there are anywhere from a half dozen to multiple dozen topics worthy of entire articles. Each of which, depicting how close to the “brink” we have come; and how urgent the need to PROTECT YOURSELF, whilst you still can.

| Since people think the Fed could do anything on Thursday, so here's the last crazy idea we've got |

On Thursday, the Federal Reserve will announce its latest monetary policy decision.
Economists and strategists are basically split on what could happen.
But there is a small technicality surrounding what economists, strategists, pundits, and the media say when they say "the Fed has rates at zero."
Currently, the Fed has rates inside a corridor of 0%-0.25%.
Right now, that means the effective rate is 0.12% or 0.13% on a given day. If the Fed raisesWednesday, September 16, 2015 |

 Hidden $Trillion QE Monthly Volume  |
| The massive Quantitative Easing (QE) abuse by the USFed and steeped lies are centered on its volume, which in reality is an order of magnitude higher than admitted. The recent usage of certain REPO windows has been effective to disguise huge volume of bond purchases. The entire bond system is irreparably corrupted. The REPO window hides QE extras with naked bond shorting linked to a $1 trillion extravaganza that receives almost no publicity. While the public, and even more financial market partiTuesday, September 1, 2015 |

 QE Death Sentence USTBond Black Hole  |
| Rather than stimulus, the USFed's Quantitative Easing is a death sentence for the USDollar. It might provide an ongoing backdoor bailout opportunity for Wall Street banks, and even a window for China to switch from long dated to short dated USTreasurys, but QE is death sentence. It guarantees that the USDollar will be removed from the global premises and placed in the dustbin of history. Foreign banking systems are largely devoted to USTBonds as the foundation for their entire reserves system. TMonday, August 10, 2015 |

The chart in question shows three very distinctive spikes,
the first was Sept. of 2008, again in 2011 and the current spike. It is Dave’s contention that something behind the scenes has or is blowing up financially.

Is The Global Financial System On The Brink Of Collapse?
By Dave Kransler
April 17, 2015
A reverse repurchase agreement, also called a “reverse repo” or “RRP,” is an open market operation in which the Desk sells a security to an eligible RRP counterparty with an agreement to repurchase that same security at a specified price at a specific time in the future.

| Is the halt of QE3 the end of the loose monetary policy |
| The end of QE3 neither implies the real abandon of purchasing assets (due to reinvesting interest and principal payments and rolling over retiring Treasuries) nor the permanent exclusion bond-buying programs from the tools of monetary policy. Investors should also be aware that the end of QE3 does not rule out loose monetary policy. Why?
The reason is that the quantitative easing regime is only one measure in the central banks’ arsenal of monetary policy instruments. Other unconventional monetaTuesday, December 9, 2014 |

Hopelessly Devoted to Inflation  |
| In the middle of July the stock market finally awoke from its QE-induced coma
and realized the Federal Reserve's tapering, which has been going on for the
last six months, was for real. Like a child, who becomes accustomed to a parent
that threatens punishment but never follows through, the market had been in
denial to the Feds withdrawal of monetary stimulus. But now, thankfully, the
ending of Fed asset purchases will be the pin that pops this QE-inflated market

| Monetary discord |
| Last Monday’s Daily Telegraph carried an interview with Jaime Caruana, the General Manager of the Bank for International Settlements (the BIS). As General Manger, Caruana is CEO of the central banks’ central bank. In international monetary affairs the heads of all central banks, with the possible exception of Janet Yellen at the Fed, defer to him. And if any one central bank feels the need to obtain the support of all the others, Caruana is the link-man.

| The Fed’s Stealth Tightening |
| As expected, the Fed tapered its purchases of mortgage-backed securities on Wednesday to $15 billion per month and its purchases of longer-term Treasury securities to $20 billion per month.
That means total monthly purchases, which were $85 billion last year, are now down to $35 billion. That’s a significant cut.
The Fed also cut the range of its full-year 2014 real GDP growth forecast, from 2.8%-3.0% down to 2.1-2.3%. That was no surprise, considering that GDP in Q1 was negative 1%, and itFriday, June 20, 2014 |
