CPI vs Rate Cuts: The Feds Mission Impossible

If the Fed does cut rates‚ it encourages borrowing and spending and drives banks to create more new money in the form of loans. This adds to inflationary pressure and encourages investors to safe havens in the form of commodities like gold that cant be so easily debased.With ahot CPI reportcasting a shadow of doubt on the likelihood of a June interest rate cut‚ all eyes are on the Fed. But theyve caught themselves in a damned if they do‚ damned if they dont moment for the economy and the news for gold is good regardless.With inflation running at 3.5%‚ its no surprise that gold just hit another all-time high the dollars inevitable decline in purchasing power makes golds rise equally inevitable. The Fed wants to lower this number‚ and they know it wont happen in a lower interest-rate environment. And while Peter Schiff has warned repeatedly in recent months that inflation is still red-hot‚ the mainstream finance media is expressingpredictable surprisethat inflation still isnt under control.Now that I';m going down the rabbit hole of inflation‚ here is a chart showing CPI for Food Only.Pundits will say‚ ";Food inflation has dropped to 2%‚ I don';t know why people are complaining.";That 2% is year-over-year.However‚ the total food inflation since 2019 is 30%! https://t.co/794ouO1Om4 pic.twitter.com/zmLRCFkCIq Kevin Classical Liberal (@gov_fails) April 5‚ 2024The Fed also needs lower rates toreduce the massive burden of interest paymentsthat the US owes on its existing debt‚ which cant be financed through taxes in a country running a decades-long budget deficit. That means the only way to pay the interest is with more borrowed money. It doesnt take a Ph.D. in economics to see thats unsustainable‚ and even Jerome Powell has expressed concern (without addressing the role of his monetary policy in the problem).The real estate market is desperate for a rate cut as well‚ with record numbers of vacant office buildings causing a tickingeconomic time bombin American cities. Whether they remain offices or become apartments or something else entirely‚ its an expensive undertaking even under the best-case scenario to rezone‚ redevelop‚ and fill these buildings with actual human renters. But with high-interest rates‚high prices‚ and a wall of loans due to mature asthe post-covid work-from-home trend settles in as a new normal‚ its a bad time to have money tied up in CRE.URGENT! Keep Alex Jones in the fight against the NWO! Please pray &;amp; contribute atDefendJones.comtoday!A lower-interest-rate environment doesnt solve any of these problems sustainably. At best‚ it delays them or replaces them with a different set of problems instead.If the Fed does cut rates‚ it encourages borrowing and spending and drives banks to create more new money in the form of loans. This adds to inflationary pressure and encourages investors to safe havens in the form of commodities like gold that cant be so easily debased. But even if they dont cut because inflation keeps sticking aseven mainstream economistsnow fear it might‚ the price of gold goes up along with almost everything else thats being priced in dollars.Automated‚ algorithmically-traded sells can contribute to drops in gold against USD in response to economic data like (cooked) jobs reports‚ or new inflation numbers. But these drops are being quickly bought up by investors who see the writing on the wall. They see these dips accurately asbuying opportunities‚ as discussed on Peter Schiffs recent podcast episode‚Any News Is Good News for Gold:As soon as this stronger-than-expected number came out‚ just like Pavlovs dog‚ these programs sold gold‚ so gold initially went down. But it didnt stay down. Because the real money‚ the real buyers came in‚ and bought what the programs were selling‚ and then gold just spiked‚ because this is a real move. The real gold buyers dont care about these jobs reportsthey probably realize that theyre BS.That was in response to employment data that came out in March‚ which the government wont tell you show strong jobs numbers only because struggling Americans are being forced to take on multiple income streams to feed themselves and their families. In the case of CPI‚ a higher number means the dollar is worth less‚ and a lower number means a higher likelihood of rate cuts thats a double-edged sword and mission impossible for the Fed‚ but a win-win for gold.Whether or not inflation keeps rising and the Fed only cuts rates once‚ twice‚ or not at all in 2024‚ all signal economic uncertainty. Cuts also wont solve the economic trouble brewing in China‚ or continuing geopolitical tensions in Ukraine and the Middle East‚ which the US is determined tocontinue meddling in. The common denominator: golds attractiveness remains‚ and its price will continue to rise.Learn Why The Globalists Are Killing Their Own Monetary System
