Craig Shapiro on Awareness of the Treasury Put During a Time of Rising Capital Costs
In this conversation, Craig Shapiro discusses his background in commodity markets and his transition to writing and consulting. The conversation then delves into market rotations, the impact of rising yields, and the role of the Fed in managing inflation and deficits. They also touch on the geopolitical dynamics between East and West and the declining hegemonic status of the US. China's ability to price commodity purchases in RMB and its shift away from the dollar in the monetary system is changing the global trading landscape. The US's threats against Chinese banks supporting Russia will only accelerate this process. The US's massive debt and negative net international investment position limit its ability to fight against China's rise. Gold is being reintroduced as a neutral reserve settlement asset, and its revaluation could rebalance global trade. The quarterly refunding announcement from the Treasury will provide insights into the government's debt composition and its impact on financial conditions and inflation expectations.
