What Really Happened In 2008? (It's NOT What You've Been Told)

Last Chance for Christmas Sale https://www.eurodollar.university/sales-page-1What's the difference between financial and monetary crisis? Everything. Whether anyone knows it or not, we continue to live in the long shadows of 2008. They are deflationary more than anything, too, a Silent Depression that so long as we remain stuck in it will make the 2020s into something more like the 2010s. That's not good. Getting out starts with finally a proper accounting of 15 years ago. Eurodollar University's Money & Macro AnalysisBen Bernanke Before the Joint Economic Committee, U.S. Congress, Marcy 28, 2007https://www.federalreserve.gov/newsevents/testimony/bernanke20070328a.htmFCIC Final Reporthttps://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GPO-FCIC/pdf/GPO-FCIC.pdfNew Yorker Anatomy of a Meltdownhttps://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2008/12/01/anatomy-of-a-meltdownSt Louis Fed (2009) The Financial Crisis and U.S. Cross-Border Financial Flowshttps://www.federalreserve.gov/pubs/bulletin/2009/articles/crossborder/default.htmTwitter: https://twitter.com/JeffSnider_EDUhttps://www.eurodollar.universityRealClearMarkets Essays: https://bit.ly/38tL5a7#gfc2022 #gfc2023 #2008 #recession #money #recession2023 #money #inflation #deflation #interestrates #dollar #economy #credit #interestrates #ratecuts #federalreserve #fomc #fedpivot

Why Stocks Are Up When Everything Else Looks Bad

Bond yields have plunged and not just US Treasuries. Yet, stocks are sitting at or above all-time highs. In fact, the two seem to be related at least in the short run. The bond rally began in late October and the stock surge followed a week later. But what bonds are suggesting wouldn't be good for stocks. So, what are stocks really doing?Eurodollar University's conversation w/Steve Van Metre

Watch This Before The Fed Cuts Rates

Only a few days left for EDU's Christmas Sale, memberships, and research subscriptions. https://www.eurodollar.university/sales-page-1What happens when the Fed really pivots and starts cutting rates? We know what's supposed to happen, though it never does. Before we get into the history of rate cut programs, we first have to understand why "monetary" policy targets interest rates in the first place. Once we do that it's easy to see why rate cuts are all hype. Eurodollar University's Money & Macro AnalysisFOMC December 1974https://www.federalreserve.gov/monetarypolicy/files/fomcmod19741217.pdfFOMC July 1981https://www.federalreserve.gov/monetarypolicy/files/FOMC19810707meeting.pdfFOMC June 2000https://www.federalreserve.gov/monetarypolicy/files/FOMC20000628meeting.pdfTwitter: https://twitter.com/JeffSnider_EDUhttps://www.eurodollar.universityRealClearMarkets Essays: https://bit.ly/38tL5a7#recession #money #recession2023 #money #inflation #deflation #interestrates #dollar #economy #credit #interestrates #ratecuts #federalreserve #fomc #fedpivot

This ONLY Happens Before Sh*t Hits The Fan

Does any of this stuff matter? If you stand back and look at this year, all of these weird financial indications may not have appeared to make any difference. The US economy, in particular, seems just fine if not better than fine. They haven't been any more bank failures. Yet, bond yields are crashing here, which is not something to ignore. What we're doing with Euro$ data is trying to assess the health of the monetary system to see if there might indeed be "something" there. Eurodollar University's Money & Macro AnalysisTwitter: https://twitter.com/JeffSnider_EDUhttps://www.eurodollar.universityRealClearMarkets Essays: https://bit.ly/38tL5a7#recession #money #recession2023 #money #inflation #deflation #interestrates #dollar #economy #credit #interestrates #repo #dollarshortage

The Real Reason The Fed Is Pivoting?!

This podcast explores the Federal Reserve's pivot towards rate cuts as insurance against economic uncertainties, and the disparities between GDP and GDI as measures of economic output. It also discusses the dilemma of prioritizing inflation fighting over addressing economic weakness, the link between rate cuts and unemployment uncertainty, and the importance of GDI as a recession predictor and indicator of weakness in the real economy.

This Is One Of The MOST Important Signals In ALL of Finance

The conversation with Brent Johnson on eurodollar dominancehttps://funnel.eurodollar.university/dollarChristmas Sale at EDUhttps://www.eurodollar.university/sales-page-1When the dollar goes up it is one of the simplest yet most critical warning signs in all finance. Most people are told it is because of the Fed and its rate policies. The last couple years have made it appear like that's actually the case. Instead, the evidence conclusively shows the real culprit behind the dollar's movements is...eurodollar. You don't have to take my word for it. Eurodollar University's Money & Macro AnalysisBIS WP 592 The dollar, bank leverage and the deviation from covered interest parity https://www.bis.org/publ/work592.pdfTwitter: https://twitter.com/JeffSnider_EDUhttps://www.eurodollar.universityRealClearMarkets Essays: https://bit.ly/38tL5a7#recession #money #recession2023 #money #inflation #deflation #interestrates #dollar #economy #credit #interestrates #eurodollar #collateral

Another MAJOR Central Bank Just Pivoted

Christmas Sale at EDUhttps://www.eurodollar.university/sales-page-1Whether they want to admit it now or not, Jay Powell completely changed his tune in a matter of less than two weeks. What's more, another major central bank seems to have done the same thing and during the same two week timeframe.

Is This The Black Swan Event The Fed Is Preparing For?!

Christmas Sale at EDUhttps://www.eurodollar.university/sales-page-1There are several reasons why suddenly the Fed has apparently accepted market rates going sharply lower. The soft landing scenario might be in greater jeopardy than recent data indicates - or it might more likely come from outside the US. Our focus here, however, is on the financial. What if conditions in the CRE market we all know is going to be a huge problem have started to come to a head? If so, that would get the FOMC's attention. There is evidence for this, too. Maybe more than you'd think. Eurodollar University's Money & Macro AnalysisGreen Street CREhttps://www.greenstreet.com/insights/CPPIFederal Reserve Beige Book November 2023https://www.federalreserve.gov/monetarypolicy/files/BeigeBook_20231129.pdfBloomberg Odd LotsWhy Multifamily Is the Next Stress Point in Commercial Real Estatehttps://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-12-07/why-multifamily-is-the-next-stress-point-in-commercial-real-estateTwitter: https://twitter.com/JeffSnider_EDUhttps://www.eurodollar.universityRealClearMarkets Essays: https://bit.ly/38tL5a7#recession #money #recession2023 #money #inflation #deflation #interestrates #dollar #economy #credit #interestrates #eurodollar #collateral

The True Scale of The Global Dollar Shortage

Christmas Sale at EDUhttps://www.eurodollar.university/sales-page-1What's the difference between a dollar short and a dollar shortage? The one actually comes from the needs of the other. To understand them both, you have to consider what a reserve currency really is - and what it is not- and how it is supposed to do its job. We're left considering only a range of bad options given those constraints. Eurodollar University's Money & Macro AnalysisTwitter: https://twitter.com/JeffSnider_EDUhttps://www.eurodollar.universityRealClearMarkets Essays: https://bit.ly/38tL5a7#recession #money #recession2023 #money #inflation #deflation #interestrates #dollar #economy #credit #interestrates #eurodollar #collateral

Why Are Central Banks Pivoting: What Changed?!

Why is the Fed pivoting? More importantly, why now? We have to consider a couple of options since central bank officials are privy to more data than we have. Not that they know what to do with it, but if there's something they see perhaps we don't yet it's worth figuring it out ahead of time. After all, with rates plunging markets are in a rush to get somewhere already. Eurodollar University's conversations w/Steve Van MetreTwitter: https://twitter.com/JeffSnider_EDUhttps://www.eurodollar.universityRealClearMarkets Essays: https://bit.ly/38tL5a7#recession #money #recession2023 #money #inflation #deflation #interestrates #dollar #economy #credit #interestrates #eurodollar #income #stocks #retirement
