  • The US Dollar Is Becoming Cheaper In Gold Terms

    After the release of the “In Gold we Trust” report, Incrementum Liechtenstein surpises gold bulls with a compendium of some of the most compelling charts in the form of a Chartbook.

    Some of the key takeaways of the Chartbook:

    • The FED is NOT out of bullets, it is just very reluctant to use them before we are at least close to a full fledged crisis; currency swaps, QE and negative interest rates are all on the table.
    • We therefore expect increasing market turmoil before the FED reverses course!

    • Shorting equities is a tricky business in an increasing volatility environment but could prove to be an interesting macro play until the FED gives in.
    • A major deflationary event and (potentially internationally coordinated) reaction of central banks could finally be the trigger for the transition from deflation to stagflation!
