PART 01: Jay Powell has been nominated by President Biden to serve another term as the Federal Reserve chair. Though his nomination has not even been heard by the US Congress, another group of people has already passed judgement on the second term: the bond market (and they say it'll be a failure!).PART 02: The Federal Reserve, and other central banks, buy tremendous amounts of government securities and this should impact bond prices. Should, but doesn't. That's because there's an even more powerful force than the Fed, the bond market itself. We review the 2007-19 evidence.PART 03: The nominal value of Chinese imports of iron ore, German exports and Japanese exports all look pretty, pretty good. But the unit volume is pretty, pretty awful. There are fewer units being utilized! This is an economic warning that is presently hidden behind hire prices (value = unit * price).----EP. 168 REFERENCES----#continuity The Least Useful Person: https://bit.ly/3r4k8VNSorry Jay, Curve(s) #continuity Is Not A Good Thing: https://bit.ly/3DP5XYnNo, The Fed Does *Not* Rig The Bond Market And It Only Takes Five Seconds To Debunk This Myth: https://bit.ly/3CLJMRuHow the Fed Rigs the Bond Market: https://on.wsj.com/3p0eC3VThe ‘Growth Scare’ Keeps Growing Out Of The Macro (Money) Illusion: https://bit.ly/3cM2j5tAlhambra Investments Blog: https://bit.ly/2VIC2wWlinRealClear Markets Essays: https://bit.ly/38tL5a7-------SHOW SPONSOR-------Macropiece Theater with Emil Kalinowski (a/k/a Alistair Cooke, a/k/a Alistair Cookie) reading the latest essays, blog posts, speeches and excerpts from economics, geopolitics and more.

The Bank for International Settlements observes that bottlenecks in the supply of commodities, intermediate goods and freight transport have given rise to volatile prices and delivery delays. These disruptions have been particularly severe in upstream industries and have led to large international spillovers through global value chains. On the one hand, the inflationary effect of bottlenecks will likely be limited after relative prices have adjusted. But sustained  pressures could emerge if bottlenecks persist long enough to trigger an upward shift in wage growth and inflation expectations.

PART 01: America's September 2021 Treasury International Capital data corroborates dis/deflationary indications observed across various sources, the vast majority of which imply there's not enough money, and/or it's inadequately distributed, for the global economy to achieve permanent recovery.PART 02: Beijing reconfirmed what was made clear in 2017, during the 19th National Party Congress: the economic boom was over and it is time to prepare for it. If anyone in the West would care to listen, the Central Committee is referring not only to China but the entire global economy.PART 03: M1 and M2 once informed central bank decisions. But the monetary aggregates were so narrowly defined that they were, in effect, mere keyholes that offered policymakers an unsatisfactory, and often-enough misleading, peek into the great monetary hall.----EP. 164 REFERENCES---TIC: Consistent, Coherent, Corroborated, Inflation Never Had A Chance: https://bit.ly/3cDfqpOChinese Ice Cream: https://bit.ly/3kPgTO4We Can't Depend On the Ms, Which Only Produce Bad Vs: https://bit.ly/3wZexRAIs M2 The Money Behind Inflation?
