The catalyst for the rise in gold
and the decline in the US Dollar I believe
was the dovish speech given by Jerome
Powell in Jackson Hole. (...) Remember we've got a lot of people who
are short gold. Now for the first
time since 2001 the hedge funds are net
short gold and I think they can get caught in a losing trade and have to
scramble to buy back the gold that they
sold.

A New Crisis Is Coming
We’re seeing a lot of warning signs people should be worried about, but again they’re dismissing them, much the way they did 10 years ago. You know, we’re getting close to the 10-year anniversary of the 2008 financial crisis. Remember, the whole thing started in August of 2008. Here we are August 2018, 10 years later. I think we’re heading for an even bigger crisis and the same people are even more clueless.
We Are Headed Into a Massive Recession
We are headed into a massive recession. Trump bought the economy some time with the tax cuts but all it's doing is pushing off the day of reckoning. - Peter Schiff on Fox Business

Trump Criticizes The Federal Reserve
He's been critical of
the Federal Reserve for having raised rates. One of the things President Trump said
apparently was that when he nominated
Powell he had expected him to be a
easier money guy. That he nominated him
thinking that he wouldn't have all these interest rate hikes and so he's disappointed that
his nominee is not being as easy when it
comes to monetary policy as what he had
hoped when he appointed him.
The Weak Dollar Policy
It should be obvious that Donald Trump has a weak dollar policy whether he wants to name it a weak dollar policy or not.

The Next Recession
It's not that
the inversion of the yield curve causes
the recession. It's that's that long
rates start to fall as investors start
to look beyond the expansion to the next
recession and they start pricing in the
next round of rate cuts.
So it's not that
the inversion causes the recession it
simply is a good indicator that a
recession is coming so you don't need an
inverted yield curve to get a recession
and we're gonna have a recession this
time without the yield curve inverting
given how little headway the Federal Reserve was
able to make in normalizing interest
rates.
