U.S. Economy: A Dismal Jobs Report

The actual number was 126,000 jobs. That is it. That is the fewest number of jobs that we have created since December of 2013. That means we did better in the Polar Vortex during January, February and March of 2014. This was worse than those numbers.

Now to add insult to injury, they went backwards and they took 67,000 jobs away for the last 2 months.

The U.S. Dollar Rally Is False

The U.S. dollar is still on the defensive, it has not imploded yet, but it is not making new highs anymore. And I think that the speculators that have been buying up dollars (and again, this is the most crowded trade, long the dollar, short just any other currency), the speculators who are on this trade are having a hard time acknowledging that it is not working out. It is very tough to break this trend. You get all this news that keep coming out that should be lifting lightbulbs on people`s heads.

The whole rationale for the strong dollar is based on a strong U.S. Economy and the Federal Reserve raising rates. Well, if the U.S. Economy is not strong and if we are getting back into recession, if the Federal Reserve is going to be doing QE4 then the U.S. Dollar`s rally is all false.

Oil & Gold: Searching For A Bottom

Oil really looks like it is searching for a bottom just like Gold is searching for a bottom. We had a very, very strong day in Gold. The price of Gold is now back above that psychological important 1,200 level.

Currency Markets Are Prepared For The Opposite Of What Is Going To Happen

I think what you are going to have is Central Banks increasing interest rates around the world at the time the Federal Reserve is doing QE4.

So, I think the currency markets are prepared for the opposite of what actually is going to happen. They think everybody in the world is going to be easing and the Federal Reserve is going to be the only central bank tightening. We will be doing QE4 and other central banks are going to be trying to put out the inflationary fire that they lit on purpose.

Monetary Policy: It Will Backfire

I believe Central Banks are behaving very foolishly around the world. They are deliberately cutting interest rates in pursue of inflation as if that`s the Holy Grail of economics. I think this is going to backfire. I think the inflation rates around the world will end up being much higher than any central bank has bargained for.

U.S. Economy: A Gigantic Bubble

The U.S. Economy has never been in worse shape than it is right now. You just can`t perceive that because the Federal Reserve has not taken away all the monetary support. But this is not a genuine recovery, this is a gigantic bubble, this is bigger than the housing bubble, this is bigger than the dot com bubble. This is all fantasy.
