Central Banks Open the Money Printing Floodgates to fight Deflation / Interest-Rates / Money Supply
By: Gary_Dorsch
In the early 1980's, the Federal Reserve's headlines figures for the M1, M2, and M3 money supply aggregates flashed at the top of trader's radar screens, and jolted US T-bill rates by 50-basis points or bond yields by 30-points within minutes. Inflation was raging at a 10.7% annualized rate, and repeated attempts to cure it had failed. Former Fed chief Paul A. Volcker was doggedly pursuing a radical monetary policy that led to skyrocketing interest rates and two back-to-back recessions. Read full article... Read full article...

US Explosive Money Supply Growth Bullish for Gold / Commodities / Money Supply
By: Ned_W_Schmidt
Central banks around the world are indeed doing everything but dumping money out of helicopters. That inflationary rush has been led by Federal Reserve. Ignoring the fact that easy money has been a failed policy twice in recent years, to wit the technology stock bubble and the housing bubble, FOMC is pursuing most inflationary policy in that organization's dismal 95-year history.

U.S. Money Supply Growth to Lead to Higher Inflation and Gold Price / Commodities / Money Supply
By: Ned_W_Schmidt
In the past few weeks, U.S. Federal Reserve has joined with U.S. Treasury in an attempt to remedy the financial fiasco. In that effort, the Federal Reserve's balance sheet has ballooned by more than 50%. Never in peace time history has the central bank for the world's reserve currency so intentionally implement policies that will destroy the value of that reserve currency . Read full article...

The U.S. FED: What! Me Worry? / Economics / Money Supply
By: David_Haas
From time-to-time, I like to swing by the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis (FRBSL) website to check on their “aggregate” monetary and financial indicators and measure the pulse of our nation's economic base - which is the overall supply of money and credit in the United States economy.

By: Adrian_Ash
"...The shooting-match between inflation in prices and deflation in assets is still a long way from won..."
WHICH WAY now for financial assets? Given what pumped them up, starting in late 2002, you're better off asking which way for money itself.

An More Accurate Measure of the Money Supply TMS or M3 ? / Economics / Money Supply
By: Mike_Shedlock
There has been an interesting discussion between Steve Saville and Paul van Eeden over the monetary aggregates M3 and TMS.

I will come back to the description of TMS in a moment but let's listen to a couple of discussion points from Steve Saville and Paul van Eeden first.

Fed Money Supply and Aggregate Credit Not Fueling US Inflation / Interest-Rates / Money Supply
By: Paul_L_Kasriel
One of the tenets of that now allegedly defunct economic schools, monetarism, is that you cannot judge the stance of monetary policy by the level of the policy interest rate. Sometimes a 2% fed funds rate might be accommodative; sometimes restrictive. Right now, the 2% fed funds rate is not the catalyst for excessive growth in the money and credit aggregates. Let's start with the credit directly created out of thin air (similar to counterfeit money) by the Federal Reserve - the monetary base. Read full article... Read full article...

Central Banks Will Be Printing Money Like There's No Tomorrow / Economics / Money Supply
By: Captain_Hook
That's what master planners will be doing in continuing efforts to offset a collapsing credit cycle. And we are just a few short weeks away from when this should begin in earnest. Why not right now? Why will this likely take until July to begin in earnest? Well, for one thing master planners (heavy on the sarcasm) have it their minds they need to talk the dollar ($) up right now, at least until things start falling apart again. This is official Fed policy at present, and orthodox hedge fund managers are supporting it, along with selling commodities and precious metals. And the other thing is the stock market. As mention many times this year, hedge funds are locked into a sell commodities / precious metals and buy the $ / stocks trade for the present quarter that will be pushed aggressively right until the end of June.

Fed Interest Rate Cuts Have Fed Food and Fuel Inflation / Interest-Rates / Money Supply
By: Andy_Sutton
“Between a rock and a hard place” - Over the past few months, the US Federal Reserve, amid much fanfare, has lowered the benchmark interest rate from 5.25% to 2%. This loose policy was lauded by those in the financial media as being the right thing to do to prop up the economy, and banks in particular. Bernanke went from being the goat to the hero almost overnight. Rest easy folks, our Fed Chairman is on board; finally having gotten with the program. Read full article... Read full article...
