Snippets:
So – low consumer sentiment, and high inflation expectations – in this area, expectations tend to drive reality. Double ouch.
What’s more, we see horrible housing again; housing starts continue their slow downtrend, while Existing Home Sales (not seasonally adjusted) are quite close to a new all time (since 2017) low. I kinda don’t trust “adjustments” anymore, especially after the Fed wiped the data pre-2024 from this series.
Hey Fed – I have an archive. Keep covering things up by deleting data. That’s how I know what to focus on. I wonder who might want to cover up falling home prices? With the multi-year series, you can kinda see the seasonality for yourself. We saw a lower-high in 2024 (lower-high = downtrend), and are now bouncing around the lows, although the seasonal low seems to appear in February.

First – goldbug-land. At first, I thought the panic rush of gold into the US had to do with “something in Europe” – money fleeing for some reason, like war. Now, given the audit of Fort Knox coming up, I’m thinking maybe there’s another factor. Consider this mechanism: what if “Fort Knox” gold was secretly handed to London, to “lease” (sell) into the market, to suppress gold prices as necessary, decades ago? A hypothetical contract with LBMA says that the gold must be returned on demand. Maybe this is why Germany only got its “Fort Knox” gold back in 2015, once the price had fallen from the highs.
Now Trump returns – but Trump 2.0 is not Trump 1.0. Let’s assume Trump 2.0 (really: his team) knew about the gold-lease-scam, but didn’t want to cause a collapse of confidence in USD, so he didn’t just appear at Fort Knox and conduct the audit in real-time on day 1. So he leaked news of the upcoming audit to “them” in late December, and as a result, there was a panicked gold repatriation over the past two months. The repatriation frenzy also caused gold to run out in South Korea too. I’m guessing the Trump plan is for the “Musk”eteers to keep prodding “them” with mean tweets until all the gold is returned, and then the audit will occur.
