ECONOMIC SOFT LANDING ELUSIVE


Recommended Posts

Today on IG is the news article “BREAKINGVIEWS – Why an economic soft landing may prove elusive”. It backs the likely hood of a very poor global economy.

However, if you think that the UK will be bad or worse than Europe or USA than think again. Each will have their own troubles which arises from the same primary source that I have discussed in my article here at IG – see my blogs.

Bernard Connolly, economist, his book:  “The Rotten Heart of Europe”, critiques the European Monetary Union. He lost his job with the European Commission as a result. Vested do not welcome alternate views or solutions. His latest book:   “You Always Hurt the One You Love: Central Banks and the Murder of Capitalism”

Breakingviews / Reuters article statement today says:

“Another financial crisis is not far away, in Connolly’s view. When markets collapse, the central bankers will return to their old ways, cutting interest rates and boosting asset prices. Under those circumstances, long-dated government bonds should provide the best protection for investors. For example, U.S. Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities, whose face value rises in line with consumer prices, currently yield around 2.4% for a security maturing in 30 years. That’s a fair return in normal times and could prove an outstanding investment if Connolly’s analysis turns out to be even half correct.”

This is likely to happen sometime in the near future. The Bond Markets reacted by a interest rates just recently – US 30-year bonds at 5%+ for the first time since the 2007 recession. Apparently the mainstream professionals were surprised!!!!

So, it should make you wonder why is it surprising? My article goes into that:   “INVESTMENT MARKETS – Ghost of Christmas Past, Present and Future”. And also, “The Way of the Markets”  article.

Edward Chancellor’s book:   “The Price of Time: The Real Story of Interest”.

And also the book by G.-Edward-Griffin,   “The-Creature-from-Jekyll-Island”. The later book really gives the true background of the banking model and practices of the central banks and why it will fail with boom and busts.

Also, for those interested in knowing how the Soviet Union's (old Russia),  European Union's and the FED's accounting system work would do very well to read the book:

"How The Euro Dies" by Nick Hubble. The factual data gives the an understanding how this currency operates.

Mainstream professionals will continue to ignore the facts, and the truth as it means they do not like to change or give up their incorrect models and theories. So long as the professionals and governments do not wise up or wake up from this "do not rock the boat" attitudes, it will continue to cost us all many many trillions globally and harm every country.

    • Hi @CharlotteIG I sold my last shares on Monday this week and they have still not settled.  Could you take a look please?  Thanks.
    • From the investor's perspective it seems a fantastic idea but I don't think it could happen. Even if it happens, it would be like a gimmick in which they reduce your own money from investment and then add them back and show them as if it's the interest on your original investment. Crypto is not meant to be a stable investment option and it seems very unlikely that such a thing could be possible. I don't have too much knowledge of economics but I can say that such a thing is not feasible.
    • Gold Elliott Wave Analysis  Function - Trend Mode - Impulse Structure - Impulse wave Position -Wave 4 Direction - Wave 5 Details - Wave 5 still struggles around the Fibonacci support zone. A diagonal seems to be developing for blue wave ‘c’ of 4. Still needs a sharp break out of the diagonal for wave 5 to begin. Invalidation remains at 2245.17. Gold’s price trajectory stands as a resolute testament to bullish sentiment, with a clear resurgence in the long-term uptrend since its nadir in September 2024, bottoming out at 1616. Since this pivotal low, the precious metal has demonstrated remarkable resilience, marking a gain exceeding 40%. Yet, a correction in this bullish trajectory commenced on April 12, 2024. Noteworthy is the corrective nature of this pullback, hinting that it is merely a transient pause before the commodity recommences its ascent to new highs.   Delving into the daily chart through an Elliott wave lens, the 1616 bottom signifies the completion of the supercycle degree wave (IV). The ensuing rally represents wave (V) of the same degree, unfolding in an impulse fashion. The initiation of wave III of (IV) from the October 2023 low at 1810 has progressed in a robust impulse, presently navigating the intermediate wave (3) within primary wave 3 (blue circled). Therefore, ample runway remains before the culmination of wave (V). Simplifying our analysis, attention is best directed towards the intermediate wave (3), currently undergoing a corrective phase labeled as wave 4, projected to find support within the 2315.5-2246 Fibonacci zone.   Turning to the H4 chart, two potential corrective scenarios emerge:   1st Scenario   The first scenario illustrates a zigzag pattern originating from the 2432 peak. Here, blue wave ‘c’ completes an ending diagonal, with confirmation of bullish momentum anticipated at 2353 for the onset of wave 4. However, this diagonal would be invalidated if prices dip below 2258.9.   2nd Scenario   Conversely, the second scenario portrays a double zigzag structure unfolding from the 2432 peak, possibly extending to the 38.2-50% Fibonacci retracement range of wave 3 at 2246-2191 before wave 4 concludes and wave 5 initiates.   In summation, while Gold’s price trajectory remains bullish, it currently experiences a corrective setback. A breach above 2353 would favor the first scenario, whereas a breach below 2258.8 would nullify it, ushering in the second scenario, projected to find support within the 2246-2191 zone. After wave 4, the resumption of wave 5 should propel prices to fresh highs.         Technical Analyst : Sanmi Adeagbo Source : Tradinglounge.com get trial here!
