The Dollar Will Get Stronger
Harry Dent | March 25, 2019 | People don't understand gold. They don't understand the U.S. dollar either. Mostly, it's the same people. Gold bugs thought we were debasing the dollar by printing our way out of the 2008/9 financial crisis. Ha! Actually, the dollar has been rising since the start of that recession. The dollar, not gold, is actually the safe haven for the markets. Right now, it's range bound, but the dollar strengthened as much as 47%, at its best, during the last 11 years. 
The dollar saw its best rally in mid- to late-2008 when Lehman Brothers was collapsing and the financial system was in dire straits. Do you remember what gold did during that turmoil? It fell 33%. Silver lost 50% of its value. So much for "safe haven." But, like I said, the Greenback has been in a trading range, between 89 and 104… Is the dollar about to crash?

| Trending Stories... Every six weeks the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meets to decide whether a change in policy is needed to coax our economy in the right direction. They wrapped up their latest meeting on Wednesday. When Fed Chair Jerome Powell delivered his policy statement, stocks bounced and Treasury yields fell sharply. The admissions scandal is starting to fade; I saw only three articles on it in the past couple of days. Now, according to The New York Times, universities are starting to consider if they should de-enroll (not expel) students who matriculated through fraud, whether the students were aware of it or not. There's always a single, dominant trend, and another two or three that have significant impacts worth considering. It's that way for happiness, demographics, productivity, the markets, and even the climate… Democrats keep boarding the presidential hopeful bus, but they all want the same seat… the one all the way to the left. Whatever the topic, make it free, make it angry, and make it a "right." The word socialism is getting new life, as even beer-brewer John Hickenlooper can't bring himself to own the label "capitalist." Back in the real world, we have businesses to run and jobs to do… The happiest people are those living in the coldest climates. The unhappiest are those living in warmer climates. Why? And what impact does that have on economies, across states and countries? There is nothing surprising about the college admissions scandal that blew up the news recently. The education system is broken. It has been for decades now. And it's all part of one particular cycle… |
