Billions Are Pouring Into Switzerland…Here’s the Terrifying Reason Why

Money from around the world continues to pour into Swiss bond markets, driving yields there down below zero and keeping them that way.

Consumer confidence fell sharply here for September in even more new data, with workers reporting they also feel job availability is at a multi-year low, so it’s not just in the high level data, this thing is also making waves on the ground. Eurodollar University's Money & Macro Analysis---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------It is absolutely critical to understand the hidden truth or really truths about what interest rates are saying.

The dollar is starting to move more aggressively, driving higher and crossing key thresholds in a whole host of currency exchanges. Not only that, this current “strengthening” is highly synchronized.

WTF Just Happened to the Banking System?!

Concerns are rising over the shadow banking system and its capability to mask financial vulnerabilities.

Breaking Report Reveals SHOCKING Interest Rate Forecast

Market predictions indicate the Fed may cut rates further, revealing a disconnect between their policies and underlying economic signals. Negative swap spreads suggest expectations for significantly lower short-term rates, while Goldman Sachs highlights the current yield curve mirroring past zero-rate environments. Jeff argues that the market's consensus for ultra-low rates stems from economic weakness rather than inflation. Lastly, he provides insights into the potential impacts on the 10-year yield, predicting it could settle around 2–2.5% amid strong market conviction.
